Hello friends and welcome to another video.
Over the past couple of months
I've been hearing about this thing called LipSense.
Which is apparently supposed to be a long wearing lip color that lasts for 4 to 18 hours
And it's supposed to be like everything-proof: smudge-proof, waterproof, kiss-proof, food-proof
ninja-proof, ev... everything proof.
Now, I'm not sure that I necessarily
want my lipstick to last for 18 hours.
18 hours is just a long time.
I feel like sometimes that I do get 6 hours of sleep, but
I don't expect to be wearing lipstick for all of my waking hours.
But I felt like I had to try it out myself and see if the legends were true.
So, LipSense is sold by independent distributors,
which means you can't just like go to like 'lipsense.com'
and buy lipstick from there.
You have to like, find a person who sells it to get it from them.
So, this is like the starter pack for your LipSense journey
You've got like a lip color, a lip gloss, and also a remover.
I've heard that you can get LipSense off with other things,
but you're kind of supposed to only be able to get it off with their remover.
From what I've seen the price varies a little bit
based on who your distributor is but generally for this 3-Pack it costs between like 50 to 60 dollars.
I got this color called Raisin.
It's kind of like a metallic, dark red color
I feel like we should just get into it
I've just- I've been putting it off 'cause I'm nervous to see what will happen to my lips after this like
extremely heavy-duty lip color
Shall we?
Oh, I just broke the seal.
Ooh. OH!
It smells-
exactly like hand sanitizer.
I'm just gonna shake it up really quick.
It's all noise.
Also, in preparation for this video,
I got my mustache waxed yesterday.
But the esthetician went a little crazy with the tweezers
and tweezed my skin right here.
So I do have like a little scab right there
so I apologize if you get to see that up close because you definitely will.
-- But you have a bare lip!
The directions on the tube say 'apply in One Direction'.
Beginning with the outside corner of the mouth.
Oh, it hurts! Oh! Ah!
-- Really?
Uh-huh.
-- A lot a bit or a little bit?
Oh, it's gone.
Oh, wow there was like a momentary just like, tingle.
I could just- [gestures]
When you have like a little bit of an open wound and you put like rubbing alcohol on it just to cleanse it,
like it stings for a second? That's honestly how it felt.
Oh, it hurts- [mutters]!
Apply 3 layers letting each dry 3 to 5 seconds.
Okay.
So I'm letting the first coat dry
just for a second.
One thing that I am excited about is the possibility of
covering my butt hole lip for good.
This could be
The Butthole Slayer.
Now for those of you not familiar,
the butt hole lip is what I call the inner
waterline of your lips, which lipstick fades off of very quickly,
or at least for me it does.
So maybe,
this 18 hour lipstick will finally cover my butt hole.
I feel kind of a lot of pressure because if I mess up,
then it's on my face for 18 hours,
and I'm nervous.
All right. And my lips are kinda sticking together.
I'm nervous that it's gonna be like superglue, and
I'm going to stick to stick my lips together forever.
But I do like the color;
I like this Raisin color a lot.
Tyler's brought up a great point:
Maybe this is for synchronized swimmers.
-- Yeah.
And like professional mermaids?
All right. Third and final coat.
I'm going to go the opposite way.
Okay, so that's like the bottom.
Like, can you see the butthole?
Well, no, because my lips are stuck together.
Okay.
On the top?
I feel like touch-up work is like really high-risk.
You have to do your lipstick perfectly, like three times.
Okay cool.
So I'm just waiting this- for it to dry.
I did three coats, and then a little bit of a touch-up right here, because it got kind of streaky,
and I don't know why.
I don't think I did a perfect job, but I don't know that I want to start over.
I'm just sitting like this
I'm trying not to let my lips crease up too much.
It's definitely like less sticky as I'm letting this dry.
See, look at this.
I'm going to be putting on the moisturizing gloss.
-- What does that smell like?
Like vinegar, but not the kind of vinegar you cook with.
Just- it says this it'll improve the longevity and I think also hopefully improve the comfort?
That feels a lot better. Before the gloss it felt kind of like thin, and sticky, and kind of like
paper-y? Like an extra layer of skin, but now with the gloss on it feels like lipstick.
And it definitely, kind of glistens to distract from any...
imperfections in the lipstick. Kind of reminds me of like,
Snow White's poisoned apple, or perhaps like a raw steak?
I also think, like my butthole is pretty covered
And I hope it stays on there because that would be a giant advantage for Lipsense for me. Okay,
so now that I have it on I'm going to be wearing it for the rest of the day and perhaps well into tomorrow.
I'm gonna be putting it through a series of tests and then after 18 hours, we'll see if it's still on my lips.
I may reapply the gloss just for comfort's sake?
But besides that,
this is the only application of the lipstick
I'm going to have, so we'll see what happens.
Okay, so it's been about five minutes and Tyler has agreed after a lot of convincing to kiss me.
-- Oh, they are sticky.
Really?
-- Yeah.
Lookit. Anything on there?
-- I got a little of that gloss, don't I?
Yeah!
-- Little glossed out?
My color looks pretty intact.
I mean, it was a little bit patchy to begin with, but mostly intact-
Let's look at Tyler.
You feel moisturized?
-- I do feel moisturized!
Okay, so we are about 45 minutes to an hour in, we're at the mall now.
We're going to get some food court food for a little food test.
I'd say in the light of day
it looks like, a little less opaque. But I think it looks good, so I'm going to say that things are going well.
Okay, so we got Bibigo
and I'm about to "chow down," as they say. Um, so I'll show you guys my lips right now?
This is the type of meal that would definitely, normally not be great for lipstick,
so if this could last, I would be a happy camper!
Okay, so I finished my lunch.
How does my lipstick look?
-- I think it looks pretty good!
I think what is happening
is I think the gloss is completely gone, so you can see the patchiness that existed before.
But I will say the lunch is very tasty, and I feel like my lipstick didn't die completely.
I just feel like my lips look a little bit wrinklier than before lunch, but not necessarily with less lipstick on them.
If that makes sense.
It doesn't feel as nice, without the clear gloss on it.
So I'm going to put the gloss on over it, just for comfort's sake.
-- You're reapplying your layer of defense.
Exactly.
It's been about four hours, since we put the LipSense on. I'm out shopping with Tyler.
We're getting Tyler some shirts.
-- Little Tyler Makeover!
Little Tyler Makeover.
-- Safiya is helping, just a little bit.
Rrow!
Even though when you look, close up,
it does look a little more cracked, than it did to begin with.
I think that from afar and to like the naked eye,
you can't really tell. I'm just worried just because I'm noticing a little bit of wear and tear, I think.
-- What do you think of this?
That looks cute!
-- Yeah?
The Plain White T-Shirt.
So we are about six hours in:
And I would say that, besides the fact that my scab is really out and about- I'm sorry about that, guys-
I would say that, overall, it hasn't really gotten much worse since lunch?
I think lunch dealt the lipstick a little bit of a blow. But since then it's kinda been like, riding pretty steady.
I will say that I think that the butthole is a becoming a bit uncovered.
Let's take a look.
Is that lipstick that used to be there?
-- Or is that a little bite? I think that's lipstick.
Makes sense that it would stick to the dry parts of the lips, longer than the wet parts of the lips?
But we're going to get some boba, for the big straw to really challenge that LipSense right where it hurts.
So I got a jasmine milk tea
with pudding in it. It looks weird, tastes quite good. I think that the straw is completely residue-free and that's one thing
I'll say about the LipSense. I haven't seen this stuff anywhere else
I think it's just like, kind of like, slowly fading, particle by particle.
Pixel by pixel!
Okay, so I finished my boba tea. Here is the final product. The true competition is,
can I stay awake long enough to have this thing on my face for 18 hours?
And the answer is I might end up sleeping in it.
Okay guys, so we're at home now.
I feel like I put the Lipsense through a lot of different tests that include like
smudging. And so I think what's left is like the waterproof aspect.
So we're going to go work out, see how this reacts to sweat, and then afterwards I'm going to take a shower
and see if this can last through the shower. And if it's still on my face, then I shall go to sleep in it.
So I am taking off the rest of my face makeup, outside of my lip stuff.
I don't usually work out with lipstick on
but like it feels like something you could get caught doing.
You could get caught sweating in your lipstick.
The gym is pretty empty
Hey, Tyler.
I put just a little bit more gloss on, just to like give myself some comfort.
'Cause I was starting to sort of feel like the paperiness of it against each other and I think while I was doing that
I may have disturbed
here and there; I see two cracks!
-- For anyone wondering, Safiya's tattoo is fake.
It's fake! I swear, mom! No, it is.
-- Does the lipstick feel weird so far?
My mouth's pretty open from breathing...
...so maybe this isn't so bad for the lipstick!
I don't think I was rubbing my lips together very much, so I don't know that anything would happen.
I don't know if there's enough sweat, even though I think I worked up a sweat.
I don't think there's enough sweat to actually do anything.
Is it possible that it looks better than when we started?
-- I think so!
I wonder if the warmth of my skin has melted it back into its form!
-- That's what I was thinking.
Magic!
Okay guys, so I'm about to hop in the shower really quick
-- That is not coming off.
How do I look?
-- You look fine! It's not coming off.
Okay, so I am going to um... rinse myshelf.
And then I'll... we'll see how it looks.
It's definitely waterproof, like it didn't smear in the shower nor
did it really come off in the shower, but the gloss is definitely a hundred percent gone.
I would say that besides a piece right here and a piece right here and then the general waterline?
It's generally still intact. I think that after lunch
I was worried that it was going to continue to deteriorate?
But I think that it is going to make it to hour 18 even with my imperfect applications
So I'm going to go to sleep for three hours
And I'm going to wake up and check back in and see what the 18 hours look like?
Okay, I may have overslept slightly, so it might be a little bit more than 18 hours. It feels... like when I wipe my-
hand over, it's almost like nothing is there? But it's still on, which is kind of wild.
But I have the Oops! Remover, and we're going to finally take this thing off. I hope that it does come off
I hope that it's not just on here forever. Oh, here you go, it's coming off. Oh! Thank God. I'm gonna wipe- wipe it.
Okay, it's not all coming off, though. It's clinging on to the more dry skin. I mean, it's definitely coming off.
Alright, I'm free. I feel a little bit crazy.
Um, I feel like my lip's, like, a little bit swollen, almost.
Had to do a decent amount of, uh, rubbing around to get that off, but it's finally off!
Wow. What a wild ride.
I was kind of skeptical at first, that this lipstick would actually last for 18 hours?
But as my oversleeping shows us. It actually probably could last for longer than 18 hours.
There definitely is some wear and tear, some fading, a little bit of crumbling, some water line appearing,
but it's definitely on your face for 18 hours, no question. Something that I wasn't expecting
was how difficult it would be to apply, and how like, high stakes it would be?
You gotta be careful about layering,
I think that you have to be really careful that everything's dry before you try and put a second coat on.
If you make a small mistake you kind of either have to like, live with it for the rest of the day or
take it all off and start again. So...
It's just...
It's interesting because I didn't feel like this had the full, full coverage of a liquid lipstick- it felt more like a lip tint?
It is also pretty expensive.
Once you have like, the starter kit,
You can just buy, like, the lip colors, like, individually?
So, it's not sixty bucks every time, but in general
it's a pretty expensive lipstick. I think on most normal days
I would probably go for my usual lipsticks over LipSense.
That said,
I think it would be kind of cool to have one of these bulletproof
lipsticks like, in your lipstick arsenal?
Like, if you are ever in a situation where you like, had to go somewhere,
and you couldn't bring your lipstick with you, or you had no chance to reapply your lipstick, this could work really well?
Maybe like, certain jobs, or like a very extended first date?
Maybe not a hike, but just like a long first date. You know?
Helicopter ride? I don't know, like a very, very, very long walk.
