NOTE: This is a honest review. I was not paid or sponsored to write this blog.
If you know me, you know that I wear little-to-no makeup on a daily basis. SOMETIMES I will put on makeup for a special occasion (pictures, weddings, etc.). I have 2 reasons for not wearing a lot of make up.
Reason 1: I don't like the idea of not looking like "Amy" if I wore makeup. I hate the girls that you can hardly recognize if you see them without their makeup on. I never wanted to wake up early to put on my makeup so that my husband would think I was attractive. I just wanted to look like me. I wanted to attract a guy who was attracted to me and not the face that I would put on in the morning.
Reason 2: I am lazy. Why spend an hour on makeup when it lasts 5 minutes before wearing off or smudging? I didn't want to have to worry about what my makeup looked like all day long.
I have had 3 friends (at least) who have become LipSense consultants on Facebook, which exposed me to the brand. I got interested in LipSense because it wouldn't rub off (or kiss off) during the day. That sounded awesome to me! (Especially when I have a husband who won't kiss me on the few occasions that I wear lipstick).
So I used LipSense every day for a week in order to give it an honest review.
1. Removal- It just takes SO LONG. I don't use the oops remover, as recommended by one of my consultant friends. Instead, I use a bar of soap that I read online worked well. Perhaps if I tried a different kind of soap, it might work better, but it works well enough and I am cheap.
2. Cost- For a starter kit you get one color, one gloss, and one oops remover for $55. A color by itself costs $25, gloss costs $20, and the remover costs $10. That is a little pricy for me. To be honest, I probably would not have tried it out had I not won free colors from two different consultants on the same day. However, if you use the same color every day it is supposed to last 6 months. I haven't used it that long, so I can't tell you if it is or isn't true.
And that is really it- that is all the things I didn't like.
1. IT STAYS ON- I did the classic apply and then use a finger to try to wipe it off. I kissed my hand. It stayed on. I had to kiss my hand several times before I could convince Gariet to kiss me, but now he doesn't even care. He loves that it stays on and doesn't get on him.
2. Color mixing- I have two different colors. Apple Cider and Carmel Apple. Both are gorgeous by themselves, but I have had fun layering the colors for different looks.
3. I can forget about it- This goes with number 1, but I literally put it on in the morning and then forget about it until evening. I will sometimes put on another layer of gloss during the day if I think about it, but that is only sometimes.
4. It is easier than it looks- As a non-makeup wearer, I was worried about application. I don't have the most amazing makeup application skills, but LipSense is super easy to put on (after a couple days of practice). Now it is quick and easy to put on!
So that is it! Am I going to wear it every day? I don't know. Since starting to wear LipSense, I have only gone one or two days without it (my extremely lazy days), but I do love feeling a little more dressed up each day with minimal effort. I love not having to worry about it as I go throughout my day. I love being able to kiss my husband without worrying about makeup ending up on his face.
If you are on the fence about giving LipSense a try, I say DO IT! It honestly is as amazing of a product as you would think. Coming from someone who has worn very minimal makeup, I love it. Don't expect me to be wearing any of the BRIGHT red or purple colors anytime soon, but I am happy with the subtle color choices I made.

Hello Friends!
If you know me, you know that I wear little-to-no makeup on a daily basis. SOMETIMES I will put on makeup for a special occasion (pictures, weddings, etc.). I have 2 reasons for not wearing a lot of make up.
Reason 1: I don't like the idea of not looking like "Amy" if I wore makeup. I hate the girls that you can hardly recognize if you see them without their makeup on. I never wanted to wake up early to put on my makeup so that my husband would think I was attractive. I just wanted to look like me. I wanted to attract a guy who was attracted to me and not the face that I would put on in the morning.
Reason 2: I am lazy. Why spend an hour on makeup when it lasts 5 minutes before wearing off or smudging? I didn't want to have to worry about what my makeup looked like all day long.
I have had 3 friends (at least) who have become LipSense consultants on Facebook, which exposed me to the brand. I got interested in LipSense because it wouldn't rub off (or kiss off) during the day. That sounded awesome to me! (Especially when I have a husband who won't kiss me on the few occasions that I wear lipstick).So I used LipSense every day for a week in order to give it an honest review.
Let's start with the things that I don't like...
1. Removal- It just takes SO LONG. I don't use the oops remover, as recommended by one of my consultant friends. Instead, I use a bar of soap that I read online worked well. Perhaps if I tried a different kind of soap, it might work better, but it works well enough and I am cheap.

However, if you use the same color every day it is supposed to last 6 months. I haven't used it that long, so I can't tell you if it is or isn't true.
And that is really it- that is all the things I didn't like.
Now, here are the things I did like...
1. IT STAYS ON- I did the classic apply and then use a finger to try to wipe it off. I kissed my hand. It stayed on. I had to kiss my hand several times before I could convince Gariet to kiss me, but now he doesn't even care. He loves that it stays on and doesn't get on him.

3. I can forget about it- This goes with number 1, but I literally put it on in the morning and then forget about it until evening. I will sometimes put on another layer of gloss during the day if I think about it, but that is only sometimes.
4. It is easier than it looks- As a non-makeup wearer, I was worried about application. I don't have the most amazing makeup application skills, but LipSense is super easy to put on (after a couple days of practice). Now it is quick and easy to put on!

I love not having to worry about it as I go throughout my day. I love being able to kiss my husband without worrying about makeup ending up on his face.
