You get a surprisingly great result with Yardley Longwear Lipsticks. The colour pay-off is great, the formula is less drying than some of it's pricier counterparts and the finish is a lovely matte. Just ensure that you exfoliate and moisturise (then wipe off the excess) before applying. The product will enhance dry, cracked or chapped lips, so prep is key. Overall, a great product with reasonable wear time and stays true to colour.
As I have said in my other reviews, I am a sucker for budget beauty items. The Yardley Longwear Lips certainly did not disappoint. I bought two shades, Vintage Rose and Raisin, for R40 each (normal retail price: R99.99) on sale at Dischem. The Vintage Rose is a dusty pink shade. The Raisin is a much deeper burgundy colour that is SO on trend right now. Although neither are matte lipsticks, they both have a bit of a matte finish. Unlike most matte lipsticks, however, it is not tacky or drying, and applies smoothly for comfortable wear. For a longwear lipstick, this product lasts, but not as long as you'd hope for a product that claims to do so.
Nevertheless, these lipsticks have definitely become my go-to colours for a night out. LOVE!
This lipstick is wonderful! The colour does last for a really long time, and the colours are pretty and vibrant and true to colour. It can be a bit drying if you don't moisturise your lips first though, so do make sure that is done. The lipstick applies easily and does not feel strange on the lips, which is nice. It has a slight matte look to it, but I really love that. The smell is also soft, nothing too extreme and definitely not unpleasant. The price is also great.
So I just found a new love, the Yardley Longwear Lips. Lately I’ve being loving the dark lips look, so I went on and got myself this lipstick in the colour Raisin. Am I impressed or what? So I put this “longwear” lipstick to the test. In the morning as usual while to my makeup, went through eating breakfast and lunch and believe me it was still on my lips. I only reapplied once throughout the day. It has the matt look but thankfully not drying. Its available from major beauty stores and retails for just under R100.
I use to be a lipgloss girl but I've been wearing lipsticks more and more now... This lipstick is very pigmented and long lasting. A few swipes and I am done. By lunch time I normally need a touch up - but of course with the amount of tea and coffee I drink that is no wonder. I bought this in three colours; coral, watermelon and true nude. Watermelon is nice and bright more to the redish/ pinkish side, the Coral is more subdued than watermelon with more of an orange-y shade to it. The True Nude is not at all dull and has a light pink shade to it. I love them all!
Yardley have a great colour selection of these. I love that they stay true to their word, these lippies are long lasting and well pigmented. They are slightly drying but nothing that a little lip balm of gloss can't fix. Perfect for work or a night out.
