Just saw your comment, Ruby!

I love Lip Ink–I’ve used it for about two years and it’s the best indelible lip color out there, IMHO It doesn’t feel tacky/lacquered like the Cover Girl Outlast/MAC Pro Longwear variety–this type of lip color always feels so heavy and coated to me, and tends to wear off/peel away unevenly. It does sting a bit when you first apply it, but you get used to that. I do use the Lip Shine to moisturize and add shine, but plain old rubbing alcohol removes it in a snap so I skip their remover.

A lot of the reviews on places like Makeup Alley are unfavorable, but I’ve not really experienced any of negatives (and have turned on several friends to this lipstick—they love it too!)

I’m actually wearing my favorite shade Red in most of my photos–it “reads” like a traditional lipstick, without the transfer worry! Here’s a good photo for you:

I’m intrigued by the Lip Ink, since I like being able to eat/drink/make-out without worrying about leaving bold red lip-prints everywhere! I poked around their site and did a bit of research looking for reviews + testimonials. Can you tell us a bit more about your feelings of the Lip-Ink? Maybe link a picture of you wearing the product, and what shade. How long do you find it lasts? Do you use it more often or less often than other lip products — i.e., is it worth the cost? it’s a tad expensive!)

Thanks so much!

Oh, mine’s not that shade at all–how strange! It’s even listed under “Reds” on the Revlon site, but Girl About Town is definitely pink so there must be a big difference between the shade they sell here and overseas.

They are sadly phasing out Max Factor here, which is such a shame.

I definitely have more articles in the works, so stay tuned!
