I was gifted with two shades of Rimmel Kiss and Stay Lip gloss. It comes in a dual ended wand. One end has an opaque color; the other end is a glitter gloss.

Here’s what Rimmel says:

New Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay
2 quick and easy steps for 10 hour high fidelity colour with enduring shine.
Step 1: lightweight non-sticky liquid lip colour bonds to lips.

Step 2: unique liquid pearls gloss top coat seals and magnifies colour with a crystal shine gloss effect for the ultimate glass shine finish that will stay put.

At last, a comfortable lipgloss that stays around.

I tried these three.
100 English Rose a medium shade of pink that looks red on, with a bit deeper light pink glitter than 300 has.

I applied the pink/red opaque color first to my bottom lip, then the glitter gloss on my top lip and smooshed both lips together.

Whoa! red and vibrant! I like red, but this was unexpected. The color was so strong and vibrant it surprised me. I can’t imagine how it would have looked if I had applied it to both lips with just a little of the glitter gloss over it.

First Kiss 110 Opaque applied only to bottom lip; gloss only on top and smooshing lips together. This is a medium pink with light purplish gloss. Applying it this way, it looks like gloss, and I like it.

300 Eternal Kiss a plum shade with light pink glitter.
While it is recommended that the opaque color be applied first, then the glitter gloss, I applied the glitter gloss on both lips first, then the opaque very cautiously over the glitter. It looks like gloss that way. It still had high shine and reflectivity. It didn’t seem to affect the lasting power.

What it feels like
It really feels and looks like lipstick, but it feels drier, though it isn’t. A little odd, if I think about it.

I expected it to be more like gloss and less like lipstick. I like a lipstick to be a lipstick and a gloss to be a gloss.

How it lasts
It has very good lasting power, and it is different than others I have.

But the name is a misnomer. it would get on whoever you are kissing, for sure.

What about you?
Do you have it? Do you like it?

2 Sticky, but not gooey as lip glosses usually can be. Two hours later when there was only a stain left, when I pressed my lips together, they stuck a little to each other, being a bit tacky.
3 Moist, but it feels drier than most lip glosses or lipsticks.
5 Does not drift.
1 I’m not real enamored of the feel, but I do like the look.
1 Name is not on the wand, so it would be hard to replace, if you used it up.

Oh, yummy, is all I can say. You can’t go wrong for $4.

When I made my recent trek to an Ulta, I bought two colors (they had very little selection and do not sell NYX through their website, darn!). (On my second visit they had a good selection, but only 1 or 2 of each color.) You can find them at cherryculture. The online color selection looks like there is a great range. Another color I’d like to try is Copper Sparkle…Ginger Sparkle…Orange Sparkle (why not!) …Rose Sparkle …I can’t choose just one. Now if only the Ulta was nearer to me, I’d check it out again. Why pick the same o same o, when it is reasonable to try something totally different. I might love it!

I took these first two pictures down. Next time I wear them, I will update the photos.
Fuchsia
Just what you’d think — gorgeous!

Paprika
This photographed to the pink side, but it is really more apricot.

Wow, these are great colors. In the wand, they look metallic, similar to some of the Mark metallic glosses (which I can’t find online any more.) They cover well, but are not quite as opaque or metallic as the Mark’s are. They are definitely a gloss and not a liquid lipstick. They feel so much better than the Rimmel I talked about the other day. They feel great and moisturize well. Two hours later, it is still holding up well, not migrating, and — did I say — feeling great.

Have you tried these? what colors have you tried? Do you love them as I do?

Here’s Pink Sparkle
Light, bright almost orchid shade. I’ve rimmed it with a Lancome Starlight. See the technique here.

Here’s Copper Sparkle:
It looks like a beautiful rose copper in the tube. Rimmed with Clinique Whisper, also dotted in the middle.

Orange Sparkle:

You know, when these are so good, you don’t need to spend the money on a Chanel. For the price of one Chanel, you could have several of these. Go for it!

Karin
5 for color
5 for staying power, do not migrate
5 for formula, metallic with a bit of sparkle shimmer, but not frosted
5 for no taste or smell, but no ingredient taste/smell either
5 for the feel, simply yummy
I’ll say it again, my lips feel great!
