Lip Elegance Lipstick Sealer

Purchased in an attempt to stop lipstick bleed which has stopped me wearing lipstick over the last few years. Works like a charm. Never have lipstick bleed now and can wear anytime I want!

The stuff is phenomenal! It's awesome for putting on top of your lip stains or lipsticks and it'll seal it so that you don't wash it off. However it does dry out your lips so it will flake off eventually but otherwise it's so cool! Very strong burnt/rubbing alcohol type sensation when applied for a few moments then dries matte.

It is a small bottle but you only use a little. It is very fluid. It goes on easily and does help with longevity. It has a little burn to me but only for a minute. It’s almost like nail polishing your lips. It does not make your matte lipstick glossy. But that’s not the purpose. A little fragrance to it but I can’t describe it. It’s not earth shattering. Give it a try!

This product does not work at all. It just makes your lips feel dried out.

I have been using this for a little over 3 months now (almost everyday 3-4 days max. Only on days when I wear a bright coloured lip colour). The consistency is very liquidy. Almost like clear nail polish but thinner. I apply it all over my lips after 5 mins (or until dry) of applying my lip colour (lip stick). When you apply the sealer, it feels very cold and tingly. So if you have any sores or cuts on your lips, it might sting. But not a big deal for me. I then let it dry for a good 10-15 mins (or however long it takes until I don't see anymore shine) and making sure I don't drink or eat anything, or smack my lips together (or else the color will just feather and transfer on the other lip). I usually leave it alone without having a drink for an hour in the morning during my commute. Overall, I think it seals the lip colour just a little bit. However, I notice that it really really dries out my lips. I always exfoliate and put lip balm first then liner and or just lipstick. Then the sealer. And since it's drying, it makes any of my lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, matte balms, lip liner, very feathery or cracked looking. Filling the cracks and making the colour look uneven. Also, you cannot dab or put lip balm or gloss on top of the sealer even after 1 hour after application because it will smudge it. (I don't ever put gloss on top of the sealer because I like it matte looking). I was kind of disappointed seeing as this was an extremely expensive purchase for a product in which the entire liquid content of it is no more than the length of your thumb. I think you're better off buying liquid lipsticks like Kat Von D (I use Lolita II) and finding another matte sealer (if there are any out there). I'm so bummed about this! I really wanted to love it and gave it so many chances!
