The Rankings
Milani Color Statement Lipstick
FUN FACT: While this fact may not be fun, this lipstick is often sold out in-store because of it's ability to stand up against the most luxurious brands around. If you see it, stock up!
USERS SAID: "I love this lipstick.I have some very expensive brands. Clinique, Dior & Chanel. This is my favorite. I saw a video on YouTube of Carli Bybel and she was wearing this shade. I had to have it. Can't believe the price. It is very hydrating and seems to stay on a long time."
Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor
LOVED FOR: This semi-permanent lip color provides a continuous, comfortable 16-hour wear that won't feather, bleed, or dry out.
USERS SAID: "I love, love, love this lipstick! It truly does last 16 hours! It's amazing. I remove it with coconut oil and a cloth and it works well :). The color is beautiful and looks pretty close to the tube for comparison. Comfortable wear and you can choose to add the gloss again throughout the day if you want more moisture."
Maybelline New York Superstay 24 Lipcolor
HELPFUL TIP: Step 1. Apply liquid lipstick to clean, bare lips. Step 2. Allow two minutes to dry, then apply the ultra-conditioning balm to seal in moisture. Step 3. Reapply balm as needed. Step 4.

They are so moisturizing comfortable and wear pretty well through the day! Definitely getting more colors! Loreal killed it again! And the packaging is bomb. Looks so nice on my vanity in my lipstick holder!"
