Teeez Read My Lips Lipstick (Glam Sense Box)

I'm so excited to be part of a new review program called Glam Sense! They send free products my way, and I review them for them. It's a beautiful partnership. Brought to us by the awesome people at TopBox, you know you're going to be getting some great stuff from them! 

My first Glam Sense Box came this week! Let's break this puppy open!

Yaaaaassss! What treat is in here?!

And the product is...

LIPSTICK! YES!

Teeez and Glam Sense have sent me a full sized tube of Teeze Read My Lips Lipstick in Red Roulette. There was much #teezings and I'm loving it! Nice! Packed with pigment, this long wearing lipstick is supposed to last me up to 8 hours! Considering it's December, I decide to give this lipstick the ultimate challenge: a Staff Christmas Party. Loaded with eating, drinking, cheek kissing and talking, it will get a work out.

Time to Party!

So initial thoughts, it goes on smooth and is nice to look at. Touching my lips I do get lipstick on my finger, so I'm worried about longevity. It didn't really impact the colour on the lips, but if it's making a break for it already, I'm not throwing caution to the wind. I pop the lipstick in my clutch, just in case a touch up is needed. I'm in love with the colour and can't wait to rock it! 

Later that night, there's lipstick everywhere. Everywhere! Glass, cheeks, napkins, fingers... just everywhere! And yet it's still there on my lips. I don't know if the product is mysteriously multiplying on my lips as it's being wiped off, but it's still going strong. 

I do end up making it the whole night (approximately 9 hours of wear time), without reapplying, which seems like a small miracle, because this lipstick is on EVERYTHING. And it's very red, so it's hard to miss. White napkins. Red. Wine glass. Red. I just can't even describe it. It looks like a murder scene around me, but I still have red on my lips. 

End of the night. Not bad...

Honestly, I love that the colour is still there on my lips. It's definitely not as strong or as vibrant as when I first put it on, with most of the wear in the center of the lips (which is a high traffic area at a food and drink event), but considering the food and drink and schmoozing, the wear is impressive. The only thing that would keep me from buying this day to day is the fact that I spent the entire event worried about smudging, staining, or leaving a little piece of myself behind on EVERYTHING. Maybe with a colour that is more to what I normally wear day to day (which is just a little darker and rosier than my normal lip colour), I would consider picking this up. I also think it would wear more evenly. One thing I do notice is that at the end of the night, when I'm taking off my makeup, my lips aren't as dry as they normally are after a long wear lipstick application...

Thanks to Glam Sense and Teeez for letting me get my hands on this product to try out their Read My Lips Lipstick!
