I only have a couple of colors, both of them red. It's not quite as good as Revlon's ColorStay IMO, but it does what it says. I'm not crazy about the packaging, and I keep forgetting to check if they give the same amount as Revlon... Gotta get on that.

This is a very good product that initially was not wholly appreciated but now....I have several colors and I find it lasts, looks great and does not leave my lips dried out. The downside is that it is difficult to get an accurate idea of the shade so somehow the packaging could be improved. Overall it's very good; could be a little less costly, though, since it is a drugstore brand.

Yes this is really infallible - I used to like MAC prowear but that turned gritty on me after a while and the colors werent great (looked artificial like you really were wearing lipstick if you know what I mean). This stuff really does stay on all day and the balm is nice, not sticky. As previous reviews say, key is application - single quick swipe of colour and leave at least a minute then balm.
Unfortunately not cheap here in holland - 19 euro for essentially a drugstore product but hey its good!

I have these in a couple of colors - wasn't terribly impressed at first, but now I truly love them - and it's all in how you use it. My lips basically have no natural color and I am constantly putting on lipstick. I don't need to when I wear this. My lips have color all day! I agree with a previous reviewer that lip prep is key. I alway wear lip balm to bed and use Mary Kay's lip mask a couple of time a week. I make sure my lips are free of any balm before applying this, though, and also agree that too much will mess it up. Just a single, not-too-heavy coat and then let it dry completely - no pressing the lips together. After a minute or two, I apply the clear coat that comes with it and I'm good to go. At work, I sometimes will touch up with another (usually neutral color) lipstick over it - just a dab for moisture, but the base color lasts all day and into the evening. I'm really glad I gave these another try! I think I'll try the lipsticks next...

I would say that the color stays soooo long !!!! It's like sticking to where you put it. The color (303) is very lovely as well, really like the color. But what's the point in staying strength and beautiful color while making your lips dry as hell ?!? Even with the lip balm provided or my own one, I don't feel my lipstick soft and moisturized at all. Letting your lips dry out means killing them. I would not recommend this product.

I bought this when it first came out a while ago, maybe since then they have changed. With that said, I have (had) 2 of these lippies. I did not like them one bit, I tried them several times and even though the shades were really pretty, I found that even with the top gloss on, they dried my lips out and was left with blotchy uneven color a short time after applying. Im not a big fan of lipsticks that claim to be longlasting because they seem drying to me. I would save my $9 or so and try another product first before trying these.

Hmm... I paid a lot of money for this. It costs 19 euros here in Holland. . and.. im sorry but it just doesnt work for me! I cant recommend this and here is why.
Let me start The color is nice(304 Stay nude),but the shimmer makes my lips look wrinkled. The product doesnt apply smoothly. The lipstick seems a bit hard/dry. I have to be sooo carefull or it will cake!! ( Maybe I bought a product that is old. I am unsure.. but the plastic was still on it so.. i dont know! ) Anyway it does last on my lips for 8 hours+ It flakes a bit but becuase it is a nude color.. you cant see it. I dont recommend this!! Its expensive. One thing I have to say.. the packaging is awesome!!

EDITED/ TIP: have been changing my lipcare routine + the way I apply this . I prep my lips a lot before I use this lipstick.. and DAMN!! This lipstick is insane!!! The differance is huge!! I really tought i had preped my lips prior to using this but i guess I was wrong. Make sure your lips are very very soft and smooth. Use a lipbalm at night or scrub your lips prior to using. When applying. One coat is enough. Dont go back and forth. Dont press your lips until the product is completely dry. And use a lot of topcoat! After I used a lot of topcoat My lips were soft all day! And I didnt even have to reapply the topcoat.

This is an amazing lipproduct if you know how to use it!

I have a cool toned pale complexion. After wavering between Lilly and Gardenia, I chose the former. I was hesitant, as this was $9 at Target + I have trouble finding a color that's not too pink/red/brown/plum. I like this. The pigment is less intense than the wand version, making the color forgiving. Its a rosy blush that looks natural but better. The balm topcoat is the perfect balance of slip and moisture and not sticky at all. Staying power good if applied to clean, exfoliated lips. May get brave and go for Primrose or Zinfandel if it goes on sale. Minus one lippie for price. I'm a cheap skate.

This stuff *is* amazing. I wore Maybelline Superstay for a while, but it does not compare to the consistency and longevity of Infallible. Even without the gloss, it is a great lipcolor and not too drying.

ps. Target Red is a super fun bright red shade. Check it out!

I can't believe this product has not yet been reviewed. This review is for the 2 step lipstick in the silver container (same container as the infallible duo lipcolor container w/ the doe shaped wand).


This lipstick stays on me ALL DAY and I mean thru 3 meals! It took me 4 attempts to find the color that looks best on me (and 3 of those are up for swap.) :) I am always on the hunt for long lasting lip products (I HATE having to re-apply color during the day) and this is fab, IMO. I do have to re-apply the topcoat gloss thruout the day, but I never have to worry about looking like corpse due to lack of color (and trust me, w/ no lipcolor, that is exactly what I look like - no lips at all!).


The mirrored container is a nice touch. Its a bit pricey for a ds lipstick, but the staying power makes it worth it.


UPDATE: I am NC 15 - 20; Fairly Light in EM; lightest or 2nd lightest in most ds foundations. Colors that look good w/ my skintone: #70 Marguerite.
