Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick has gained a large number of followers since its release. The lipstick formula has avocado oil and vitamin E, which provide your lips with supple moisture. It uses microfine pigment to deliver bold color while maintaining its lightweight feel when applied to the lips. 

There are mixed reviews on the color payout of this product; some believe that the color is not the same as what is advertised, however, life-long customers who are satisfied with the color say this lipstick cannot be beaten and always gives a classic look to your face. 

With high moisturizing effects and natural colors, this L'Oreal lipstick can give your lips a bright and lively look. It utilizes omega 3, vitamin E, and argan oil to smooth your lips in a matte, creamy finish. When you apply, its soft and melting texture will make you feel luxurious without the stickiness. 

Some reviewers warn that it will come off with any contact, so be prepared to reapply throughout the day or apply an extra protective coat. However, there are many who are satisfied with how smooth it applies and the color payout at its affordable price. 

If you're looking for a lipstick that doesn't budge once you put it on, this is it. It can last for up to 16 hours straight, so you can eat, sleep and enjoy your full day without the worry of smearing. Because of its strong staying power, it is advised to use an oil-based remover to take it off. 

Some users warn that for those who have dry lips, this lipstick may crack if applied and dried. On the other hand, there are those who say that the color is highly-pigmented and love that there are a ton of shades ranging from natural to bold and bright. 

Containing ingredients like mineral oil, NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss provides lasting moisture to your lips, making them smooth without the tacky feeling. It delivers sheer to medium coverage for those lighter days and comes in varying scents.

Some reviewers say the consistency can feel thick and gooey if not applied in a thin layer. However, others love how hydrated their lips feel, that it gives a nice shine and intense color, and gives off a sweet scent, depending on which one you choose.  

The formula includes fruit extract and shea butter, which provide your lips with ample moisture. Even after you remove the product, your lips will still feel hydrated and smooth! It comes in a twist-up case which makes it convenient for on-the-go. 

Although the twist-up case is nice, some warn it is easy to break off the tip if you are not careful enough. Many enjoy this product as it is smooth to glide on and is the perfect go-between a natural, yet still professional look. Some say it lives up to the hype in that it leaves your lips feeling soft and hydrated even after removal.

This lip gloss-and-color duo has gained love from the beauty community due to its intense shades that can last up to 16 hours. The topcoat is enriched with vitamin E and chamomile to prevent the color from bleeding. To apply, start with the first layer of lip color and allow it to dry. Then, add the gloss to seal it in with shine. 

There are some who were not satisfied with the top layer coat claiming that it makes their lips flaky and patchy, so if you already have drier lips this may not be the best formula for you. Those who love this product can attest to its long-wear power without having to reapply throughout the day. 

If you love a bold, matte finish, Lime Crime's line of Velvetine liquid lipsticks is a great starting point. Their French-vanilla-infused formula glides on and then dries to a velvet-like matte finish that lasts for hours without transfer. Make sure to apply lip balm at least 15 minutes prior to use and remove it with an oil-based cleanser.

Some customers say that the application process can be tricky and for those who are traveling, it is not a quick product to use.  If not applied carefully, it can become flaky and uneven. For those who have mastered it, however, they love how long the color lasts and how lightweight it feels. 

If you're in need of a matte lipstick that doesn't dry your lips out and keeps them feeling silky smooth, look no further. NYX offers a wide variety of shades that will glide on and stay in place, even after hours of wear. Along with their lipsticks, they have other lip products to give you what they call "the perfect pout."

Some customers claim the formula is hard to evenly apply and that it can become splotchy in certain areas if you aren't careful. However, there are many who love it because it does stay true to its matte form and lasts throughout the day, even if it is not overly hydrating.

This award-winning, moisturizing lipstick comes in 18 amazing shades. It is packed full of hydrating ingredients like raspberry seed oil, moringa oil, and vitamin E. Your lips are guaranteed to feel soft for up to eight hours and be enhanced with color all day.

However, for those same reasons, there are others who seem to love that the colors are more neutral and natural in the application. If you want a product that is lightweight and buildable, this is for you.
