I have been using Praline Rose for the past few weeks and I love it. But before you click the buy now button please read on because I experienced some growing pains when working with this product.
I love semi permanent lip color because that means I don’t have to reapply the color all day. I don’t mind reapplying clear gloss because that doesn’t require a mirror or concentration.
- Shake the tube to mix up the product
- Apply one coat of lip product, wait for it to dry and then paint on two more layers(give it a few seconds between each coat). Remember left to right and don’t go back and forth.
- About a minute or two you will experience a tingly feeling (think lip plumping ). This will go away, don’t lick it cause it won’t taste good. LOL
- Apply the specially formulated gloss. If you use your regular gloss you might experience the lip paint peeling. So I would either experiment or skip using your regular gloss. This is normal for semi permanent paint.
- I recommend applying your gloss every time you start to taste the lipsense. It tastes like when you spray perfume and accidently get some in your mouth (but not that extreme). Once the gloss is on you won’t taste the paint anymore.
To Remove ( I couldn’t remove the lipsense without an oil base product):
I used my Boscia Face Cleanser to remove the product. But you can also use Olive Oil, Almond Oil or Coconut Oil. Remember to exfoliate your lips prior to application for best results.
Pros:
- Last all day until you remove it
- Perfect for photoshoots, wedding day, special occasions. Holiday Season is here!!!
- The color does not come off when you drink, kiss, or do whatever you do
- The gloss is not sticky, it feels more like a thick gel
Cons:
- If you don’t apply the gloss your lips will be dry due to the paint. (This is typical of long lasting lip products)
- You can taste the lip paint when the gloss wears out, but that doesn’t happen until the gloss is gone.. just make sure you use it every few hours I applied the about every 3-4 hours.
- Available online. Mine was given to me by Everaftercosmetics.com
Overall I love the lipsense product. But I am a huge fan of these long wearing lipsticks. I don’t recommend this for everyday use but a few times a week is perfect. I find that when I used it 4 days in a row my lips were too dry. I felt a subtle lip plump effect, just enough to notice that the lines on my lips were gone so that is good. I even used the gloss on its own a few times. The best part is you aren’t committed to the type of gloss and color. You can mix and match for the perfect look.
The actual lipsense will last about 6-12 months depending on how often you use it. The gloss on avg lasts about 3 months.





It is his fault I am obsessed
Thanks Enkore!!!

Oh I want that fuschia! Soooo beautiful! But a bit pricey.
ahh but you don’t have to reapply like other lipsticks. In the end it works out to be the same. MAC and other lines are about the same price.
That is so true!! Gonna have to give these a try!
i agree but it also means ou cant change it up so often
Ooh, those are pretty colors! I’ve never had much luck with long-lasting lip colors, though. Maybe I’ll give this one a shot?
i love the praline rose, i think ill try that one =0
I hardly wear lipstick anymore but if I tried this I may start again.
The fushia doesn’t come out as bright on your lips as the swatch did.
What type of gloss did you test? There’s a few on the site to pick from.
I just used the regular clear one. I want to try the glitter one next!!
Can you recommend a good 1940s-style red lipstick? I have been in search for a long time now, and have not been able to find a good one. Most reds I find are either orange based or brown based, but blue based is sooo hard to find!
Naomi - we have LipSense in Blu-Red, and it looks gorgeous with Matte sealer on top. Check out the whole site…Besame red is not a semi-permanent, but it may be what you are looking for.
Koren has swatches on this site now

haha i love the oops remover!! wow there is actually a technique?? who knew?!
I really need some lip gloss because all I use is my Softlips! lol
if youre lucking for drugstore go for nyx
I think you might like the Pearl - feels all buttery and has a pretty look to it.
This is such an interesting product O_O what actually happens if you apply it back and forth?
It gets too thick and doesn’t apply evenly
Praline rose is beautiful. Unfortunately, those lip paints make my lips extra day, even when I apply gloss on top…
WOW beautiful colors!
Thanks for the review! I’ve just recently started looking for a long-lasting red lipstick, but i have to say i’m a little turned off from the fact that you can taste the paint. :\ is there another alternative long-lasting lipstick you would suggest?
The ones I have tried always have a taste. But the gloss conceals the taste. If you are tasting the paint then its time to reapply gloss
If I find one .. I will post for sure
this is sooo cool! haha i want one but i dont know what color to get since all of them are soo pretty! I need something thats nude/ pink…
Sounds like you might love Pink Champagne or Cappuccino!
i watched enkore’s video on these & they sound pretty aamazing
How hard is it to remove?
That Praline Rose is beautiful, the Fuscia looks a bit too bright for me but it looks pretty nice on your lips.
I like the concept of long wearing products, but they always seem to be so drying on my lips. Thanks for the review!
Can you smack your lips together before it dries to distribute the color evenly or will it mess it up? I am just worried that I won’t apply it evenly or get my cupid’s bow if I just go left to right. I am really interested in this product though and want to try it-the praline rose is so perrrrfect!
You want to avoid smacking until after the color is completely dry and you’ve applied lip gloss. Don’t worry about the cupids bow. As long as you continue to outline in 1 direction, it will be just fine.
i wish they had a more nude color.
They have lots of colors to choose from! I’m sure you’ll find your perfect nude.
Some great nudes are Cappuccino, Beige Champagne, and Nude
praline rose is so so so lovely!
Thank you for your honesty! I think a lipstick is not made to be THAT permanent..if necessary permanent make up (done in a salon) should be used.
have seen some reviews on these, so pretty
great… I sooo want that!!! love the praline rose, great for me!!!
praline rose is the prettiest
sooo nice!!
WOW, all of the colors are gorgeous, but Praline Rose is the most wearable. Do you recommend wearing these products if you have chapped lips? Do the lip glosses moisturize?
i would say no as it is a paint it will make your chapped lips look even more chapepd and it will be uneven
I would recommend the Pearl Gloss though - it has Shea Butter, is very soothing and will help heal your lips (and make them feel better)
I don’t think it would really have any type of effect on chapped lips I think this would be good because winter is like so close it forms like a shield around your lips and you won’t lick it because it tastes pretty bad so I think it would help releave you of winters chapped red irrated lips
i like praline rose =)
Love the glossy effect of all!
Are these like MAC’s Prolong Wear??
Lipsence lipsticks are amazing! I am a dental hygienist, and when my patients come in with lipstick, I usually have them take it off, or it will be all over the face by the end of the appointment. NOT with this stuff. I was impressed when one of my patients came in wearing this stuff, and it didn’t budge after her 1 hour appointment. I used to use it until I ran out, and the shop that sold it closed down…glad I know where I can order it!!! It’s worth you money, ladies!
Thank you for the great testimonial, and I am happy to serve you!
Oh I saw these when koren was reviewing them, I want them so bad but they are pretty expensive little things! And the packaging is a little blah, so I skipped the last time. But I’m considering it again!
i reallly wanted it when koren made a video about it, but now that you did swatches and such i reallly want it
it looks beautiful on your lips
and i really wanna try it out
its like a lipstick with lipgloss attached
so its really handy for on the go.
thanks a lot (:
Man that fushia is awesome!
Wow these are really nice colors! It looks very wearable and cute!
fuschia w/gloss looks oober pretty [:
thanks for this review! I’ve been eyeing this since enkore’s review.
I love how you have pros & cons. you get get straight to the point!
will you be making a video of this soon?
I think i want a least a red bc i hate having to fix it all the time!
aw thanks, that’s what my friend says about my reviews.. LOL
I will probably use it in a video but not a review.. maybe what do you think?
I think :)))))
yeah why not? when you get the chance maybe just a short one?
but if not I will most definitely look out for it in a tutorial or what not
Can’t wait to give these a try!
My mother would love this! Haha.
Praline rose is pretty. But yeah, I have dry lips as it is already. I think this might dry them out even more. I used to use lip stain from NARS and that dried out my lips!
The colors are really pretty but I’m worried I might mess up the steps. LOL I love fruity or yummy tasting glosses so much better too.
Looks like it is something I would be interested in trying! I think it would be great for a party where I would be drinking and eating and taking pictures the whole night. This way I would not have to reapply. Praline Rose and Fuchsia are very pretty.
thats probably the first time ive heard of a lipstick that you need to remove with an oil based remover! lol ill need to take a look at these
These are pretty.
I have one of these. They do stay on long but I think on my lips they are very drying.
the Fuschia is gorgeous! i saw enkors video on these, look like a great product!
oops, i meant Enkore!
Gorgeous colours….and that’s what I said when I saw Koren talk about them too. It’s very convenient to have long lasting wear when you need it
Ok I actually don’t like this product it leaves my lips feeling constricted and dry and it peels what actually helped me takenit off was olive oil i normally use a lancome makeup remover but It seemed like I need to break out the tough guns but I have to admit the color stayed on all day long and I didn’t need to worry it’s not tasty either and I always like anything I put on my lips force of habit so it really made me sad when I had a horrible taste in my mouth
these are pretty, i wanna get it but afraid of drying my lip out since its already chapped.
They are both so beautiful!
I think I will have to give these a try lol
I wanna try the PRALINE ROSE..
it’s pretty!
oh I love lip stuff. i want to try this
<3 the colors! sounds really high tech
Yeah I love semi permanent lip colors too!
Oh I want them! =D The colors are awesome! My bestie has the fuchsia color and I always steal it from her!
I so want two of them : the Blu-Red one and an everyday color (don’t know yet I’m looking fos swatches to decide) but the shipping costs for france are $19.95 for one Lipsense and one gloss, insane -_-”
The fuchsia colour looks so nice! I think I’m gonna try this out.
It sounds a bit complicated thought, and the shipping is kinda expensive… Oh well;P
i love the fuchsia the color is gorgeous, i might purchase and try it out
omg, the picture with the kiss still freaks me out.. seriously, no color?!!? i definitely have to check these things out!!
I’m thinking about doing wedding makeup for my relatives who are getting married, so this will be perfect.
i dont wear color on my lips but i love how this colors look am gone try it
ok i wanted to also let you know you should do a review for the shisedo translusent loose powder i think its soo good. (or try it out and tell me what you think) i love it, it actually feels like im putting on powder from smashed pearls i really dont know how to explain it but its fab. especially as a highlighter for your face so LET ME KNOW =)
oh super cool, i must check it out
i reallly like the praline rose
Very pretty! I like the praline rose also but might be too light for my very pigmented lips
Thanks for the review! It was very helpful!
Elessa, I would be SO HONORED if you would do a video where you mention EverAfterCosmetics and show how you put on your LipSense color and gloss. I would be very grateful! <3
You should definitely do a video on EverAfterCosmetics!
