So sticky, and doesn't stay on very long. Disgusting. I wouldn't ever buy it again. Not worth my money, but its good for a Halloween costume or if your going to some sort of party.

Very nice product. Slightly sticky, so I try to get a thin application... worth it for the lasting power, pretty shade, love the dual-wand design- the screw-on caps make it easy to throw in my bag without worrying about making a mess. I was actually looking for something more matte, but I'm really happy with this just the same.

I'm very happy with this product. I was looking for a new color for summer and found it! Love the way it stays on all day, too.

This is a pretty beige/pink on my. It really stays on, the only reapplication I do throughout the day is just a little on the inside of my lower lip after lunch. The top coat keeps lips moist and there is no caking of the color.

Love it. This stuff can last for two days if you don't eat or drink much. Even if you do, it lasts hours, often lasts until the next day (I generally just let it fade off and don't remove it). My only complaint is that it is a little messy until it dries...sometimes it gets on my teeth or skin while it is drying but not a lot and it is easy to remove. I recommend using lipbalm a little while prior to application and then wiping the excess before you apply to make your lips extra soft. It isn't really drying though, just not moisturizing. The color is great. A lot of the shades looked wrong for me, but I love this. It is a perfectly neutral shade with the perfect balance of red pink and beige so overall it looks slightly red but very very neutral. I tend to only use lipcolor for special occasions but this is my favorite by far.

MLBB!!!
I am so thrilled to find this shade. I was looking for the perfect my lips but better, not too brown on my fair skin, but not another pink as I have so many. This is a lovely hybrid color that adds the perfect amount of brightness to my face without reading as too pink or too red. And it's the perfect depth for me, not too light or dark. It really feels like it lights up my face when I wear it.
I have this lipstick in Endless Spice as well, which is another great color (a shade darker but still lovely), and the staying power is truly incredible.
The trick is to apply a very THIN layer and let dry completely before doing anything! Then apply the gloss if desired. Even without the gloss, it looks great and wears through multiple glasses of water, eating an apple for a snack, and several meals. LOVE!

I use a colorstay overtime lipcolor everyday and overall its a pretty good buy but there are days that I have serious love-hate relationships with it. Love: its super long lasting, the color bare maximum is great (mlbb color), and the gloss is super moisturizing. It makes me look a little made up and just pretty for the day. Hate: the color is suuuper drying and I have yet to perfect a method that will keep my lips dry and keep the lip color on at the same time. (if I use heavy lipbalm, it will cause the color to come off faster). However I will continue to buy because these colors last forever (8hr) on me!

My lips naturally have very little pigment to them. When I wake up in the morning, they are the same shade as my very fair skin, and so lipstick is one of the one things I never like to leave without.

I was looking for something that would be (1) incredibly long lasting, (2) have a somewhat natural pigment but be better than my natural lip pigment, and (3) not dry my lips out. This matched all of my expectations and if anything, exceeded them. I cannot speak for all complexions, but if you are on the fair side and cool toned, I think you will LOVE this color. On my lips, this is a pinky brown (more brown than pink) natural looking lip color. I put it on very LIGHTLY for everyday though you can apply it heavier for night. I apply to my lower lip and smack my lips together to distribute the color before it dries. It dries rather quickly and once it does, it stays all day. The best part is it doesn't overdry your lips. Some reviewers complained that it can be kind of "sticky" and, yes, I agree that it's true but better slightly sticky than dry. You won't have to use the gloss with this color if you don't want to because it still looks good matte.

I have used this shade as my everyday lip color, and then if I get bored of the shade and want more, I apply a different (usually my NARS lipstick) stick over it. When the NARS wears off, this colorstay lipcolor still remains so lips are never bare.

Buy one get one free on Revlon this week at Walgreen's. Got this lippie and love it. The color is just a bit darker than neutral on me (NC 30) and it was easy to apply. I have used it 3x now. It has stayed on all night and the next morning I looked fair. That was pretty amazing. Definitely stays on all day. Feels much less drying than other all day formulas. I don't like the feel of it and especially don't like the clear topcoat that comes with it. I find myself applying other lipglosses throughout the day to add moisture. However, even without that this product is flexible and doesn't leave the mouth looking dried out and flaky. I plan to go back and get the colorstay lipgloss next.

I bought this today - actually I was searching for the newer Revlon all-in-one and picked this up by mistake. Initially, I was disappointed when I got in the car and saw that it wasn't what I wanted, but figured I'd just keep it.

Well, I just put it on and it is the best color ever! Kind of the perfect color if you want you lips to look finished but not overly made up or "lipstick-y". It's just the right blend of rose and brown - it leans toward the warm side of rose. It's not pink at all and it's not brown or peach either.

Try it - I think you'll be happy!

i originally bought this in eternally tan and it was too much of a dark brown for my lips, didnt look too natural. i exchanged it for this shade and i love it. it's very natural/nude on me. i have brown skin and wanted something nude, but nothing that made me look dead. this is great. i hate wearing lipstick because of color wearing off from food, drinking, etc. after finding this, i will continue to use these types of lip color.
i read some reviews here about this product costing up to $10. i got this at walmart for just under $7, regular price.
liking this, i will now try the sheer nude or champagne
**i've tried sheer naked and champagne and i took this one back! not as great as the 2 others!

Gorgeous color. Stays on a long time and stays fairly true without funny fading. Really like Colorstay Overtime lipsticks and this color is my favorite.

I left a review for this product in general, but wanted to strongly recommend this color. It looks incredibly natural, but really defines your lip line and makes you look more "polished" without being super made-up. Depending on how much you put on and whether you blot it before it dries, it can vary a lot in terms of darkness but looks great either way. I can wear it to job interviews to look classy or out at night to give me sexy darker lips.

my new obsession... i bought one from this line years ago and hated it. turns out i wasn't applying it correctly.
you just need a THIN coating. so i swipe across the lips and wipe the excess off with my fingers. if it's not dark enough, i wait for it to dry and apply a second coat.
-this doesn't flake off, and isn't too drying on me (given i apply a thin coat as above). i don't use the gloss it came with; if i want something more shiny on top i use chapstick or another shiny sheer lippy
-the packaging is great... doesn't get messy
-the color is a perfect go-with-anything daytime neutral. if you're a redhead, it's kind of a julianne moore shade
-it stays on FOREVER. this is the reason i'm obsessed with it. i can have perfect looking lips all day. it doesn't matter if i drink, eat, lick my lips, etc. i can apply at 8am and have it last until late afternoon (even then it's still on, i just touch it up a little). quite amazing.

i wear this stuff every day. HG for me

i also bought the shade endless spice... which is another neutral of a similar shade to this... just slightly darker/more pink for a more intense look if you're interested

Got my first colorstay overtime half off, and since I was in a hurry I decided on this one. At home I was looking at it, wondering exactly what color I chose and I still don't know what it is. On me it is a kind of a nude color, barely there. It actually tones down the pink in my lips, making them look..well...nude. It doesn't do anything for me beside muting my own color, but I guess it would end up being a natural choice for days where I need to dress up my lips a bit to look more polished when I use subtle browns and greens. Brown lipcolors that look ok on me are difficult to find, I easily get the wrong color. But maybe this will grow on me, and then I will give an update.
I don't find any berry color in this, nor brown. I think it is more of a muted rosewood color and not at all pink. On me at least.
It complements my bluegreen eyes a bit though....
I'm still wearing it, and I'm eating and drinking but I can't find any evidence of it:)
AND; it doesn't feel as dry as the lipfinity (max Factor) can do.
It feels like it never totally dries, more of a thin layer of...hehe, a gel peel-off masque that sits on top of your skin. But not in an uncomfortable way.
Dark hair, medium cooltoned skin for reference.
UPDATE: I recently purchased Lingering Violet (cool pink) and Infinite Raspberry (true raspberry) - beautiful flattering colors. But I've noticed that they ball up a bit and stick to my teeth. I've never experienced that with any other lipsticks.
I'll try to use less color in the future and hope that it will reduce my friends remarks about my pretty polkadot teeth..LOL!

Love it!! The color is awesome, the feel is terrific and there is no smell!! My lips actually look like lips!!! Other stay on all day lippies i have tried have settled into the creases in my lips only to have them look like i have died and some inexperienced mortician tried and failed miserably to make my lips appear normal. this is a winner for me!

I really like this color and product. After trying MAC's Prowear I decided to give this product a try. As with the Prowear this lipstick is not drying to my lips nor did it bubble or peel. It does last through eating, drinking and average daily wear. As with the Prowear you must keep applying the clear gloss over the lipcolor if you wish to have a glossy appearance; however I find that with this color it also looks nice matte w/o the glossy topcoat. The color tip applicator was fine but I did find the applicator for the clear gloss a little small. As with Prowear, the clear side will be gone before the lipcolor; however just as with Prowear you can use another clear gloss, colored gloss or even a lipstick over the lipcolor. Although this product size is a little smaller than the Prowear I found that it worked just as well and I was able to purchase four Relvon products (BOGO Sale) for the cost of one Prowear. All in all for a long wearing lipcolor the Revlon product is my first choice.

Another lip product following Max Factor Lipfinity. Having heard a dozen colleagues complained about the 1st generation of Lipfinity (drying, flat intense drab colors, cracking paint problem...), I was at first really skeptical about this one. As the testers were new & the store wasn't busy, I played w/ all of the colors (on back of hand) and purchased Bare Maximum and it was a pleasant surprise.

Rather than my desired YLBB, it's more a medium rose-red w/ subtle shimmers on my dully pigmented lips. Great for workdays, and if I paint it very thin it does the "I wear no makeup" trick.

Strangely I tend to wear it w/o the gloss. The color itself isn't flat thanks to shimmers. The drying finish is like any ordinary matte l/s and doesn't bother me. But I don't need lipbalms except on a dry winter day, and am a fan of the old skool Colorstay black skinny l/s (sadly it's discontinued!).

The color does have a funny smell (from the solvent?) but the smell goes away soon. I don't have the color chipping unless I deliberately rub my lips. Lasting power is great but it'll fade a bit through a really oily meal.

The gloss is very shiny and doesn't have any weird smell/taste. The brush is IMO offering more control than the usual spongetip wand. The packaging has both the gloss & color in one item & saves rummaging in the drawer, but I think ppl who use the gloss will run out of it before the color & thus a refill seens required. Great stuff!
