I don't know whether you feel the same, but Lipcote is one of those products that I literally have walked past every single time I have been in Boots, Superdrug or Urban Outfitters and disregarded for as long as I can remember.
I always noticed it- but never really even picked it up. I always saw it as one of those really old products, but thinking about it now- that's very silly as we all know that if a product isn't worth having on a shelf then it wouldn't have been stocked for like I said- as long as I can remember.
I am so annoyed at myself, for yet again only picking this up to have a look at because I liked the packaging- more fool me. If I had have picked this up before on one of my many trips into the said stores- I would have been even more lip happy than I already was. What a fantastic product!
Lipcote has been around for 50 years and after speaking about it have recently found out that my nan and my mum have both used it- hello why didn't they inform me of this sooner?!
It is the ultimate lipstick sealer.
"Long lasting, transfer and water resistant lip colour- covered"
Say goodbye to them lipsticks that don't really stay around on the lips. This product works.

Okay, so on application it's a little bit horrid. It feels and kind of tastes like you're applying Nail Varnish remover or something of that kind to your lips and it isn't overly pleasant but if I can get past that then I'm sure you can.
How to use-
1. Apply Lipstick
2. Blot, reapply lippy, blot again
3. Brush on Lipcote
4. Wait a minute or so for touch dry and 10 for the ultimate hold
I mostly use this on Red Lips but I applied this with MAC Gaga at work the other day and after checking at the end of a busy six hour flight- it was still on my lips looking perfect.
The full stocklist is available to see on the Lipcote website here which is an incredibly pretty site, but I purchased this in Superdrug for a tiny £3.45 which is so reasonable.
Lipcote is now an absolute staple in my make up bag- have you tried it?

I have this and I really like it! Agree with the application though, it feels like you are putting alcohol on your lips! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing product! I'll need to pick this one up sometime.
ReplyDeleteI got this in my goody bag at London Fashion Weekend! I does work really well but it tastes vile when you accidentally taste it - it's like acid!

I love this product - a little miracle worker, even if it does feel horrible on application! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's years and years since I've used this and back then it was like applying nail varnish remover or something to the lips, so it seems it's not changed! I would consider giving it another go now that I'm into lipsticks over lipglosses. xx
ReplyDeleteGotta pick it up! Looks amazing!!
