A Lipcote Party!

You ladies must be sick of me going on about my love for lipsticks by now – you all know that my Lipstick collection is held very dear to my heart. I always have a few jiggling around in the bottom of my handbag. I’ve said many times that my favourite formulations are MAC Cremesheens – moisturising and opaque with a slight glossy finish. Cremesheens tick all the right boxes, however they are not the most long-lasting of lipsticks and that is where my new little friend comes in…

I’m sure many of you have heard of this already, Lipcote has been the Number 1 lipstick sealant for the past 5 decades. That makes it 50 years old! It’s basically a clear liquid, which looks almost like a nail polish in the packaging, that you brush over your lipstick to give it serious staying power. It has recently been released in a tasty vanilla flavour! Yum! I have even heard through the grapevine that it is a favourite of Rhianna and Rosie Huntington-Whitely, that is me sold! If it’s good enough for Rosie HW’s pouty lips then it’s good enough for mine. So I decided to have a play around with all things ‘Lippy’ provided by the Lipcote Ladies, and decided to throw a mini party…

Look how cute the Gosh Patisserie ‘Lips’ Jammy Dodger Biscuit is! I’m planning on spending the evening messing around with lip colours and giving the Lipcote a true test – lets see if it stays on as I devour all the sweet goodies 😉 I gave it a quick road-test today and it worked so well, my current lipstick favourite, MAC Peachstock, stayed on for a full 6 hours without touching up, and although the Lipcote makes the lips appear matte and satiny, it didn’t dry them out at all! The Lipcote way is simple – apply lipstick, blot, apply again and layer over a wash of Lipcote. Look out on Twitter as I will posting photos of my favourite Lipstick/Lipcote combinations all evening! Best of all Lipcote can be purchased at a fraction of the price of my favourite lipstick – it’s only £3.49 (RRP) and is readily available in Boots and Superdrugs nationwide. Well wasn’t that a ramble about all things lips related 🙂 Are any of you Lipcote devotees? Ever given it a go?

Much Love,

Vivianna x
