What she thought: "This highly-pigmented stick glides on effortlessly and feels like an uber-hydrating lipstick upon application. But, like magic, it suddenly latches onto your lips for seriously long-lasting wear. Even after lunch, which included a large apple, I still had obvious color on my lips and zero bleeding or transferring. I did reapply at 3 PM for extra color pow (I used a lip brush for precision, FYI), but I can handle one redo a day -- especially because I chose to wear Prolong, a fabulous true red hue. If a red shade can stay in place and look great for almost an entire workday, it's earned a place in my makeup bag."

Thanks for the guide. I'm a big fan of the CoverGirl Lipperfections.

Very surprised that Lipstick Queen was not on the list. Most other lists always includes them because of their pigment. I was intrigued by Jouer.
