Product Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10)
LipSense is the premier product of SeneGence and is unlike any conventional lipstick, stain or color. As the original long-lasting lip color, it is waterproof, does not kiss-off, smear-off, rub-off or budge-off! Create your own color palette by combining shades. Your customized look will last even longer and your lips will stay moist and plump with LipSense Moisturizing Gloss.
Presentation: Standard lipgloss tubes with doe foot applicator
Color Reviewed: Caramel Latte (pink nude with slight shimmer) and Matte Gloss
SeneGence LipSense is the original long-lasting lipstick and it’s serious stuff. It has a very fluid consistency (like thin ink), a non-aggressive scent and MUST be applied according to the extensive directions, or you will be left disappointed. No cheating!

While I normally prefer a more hydrating product, and Caramel Latte was a little too pink for my taste – I really liked using this and was impressed at how long it stayed on. Unlike other long-wear lip products, it didn’t crack or peel off. Yes, it felt like I had a thin coat of nail polish on my lips at first, but and application of the Matte Gloss remedied that right away. The Matte “Gloss” felt like a silicone primer on the lips – but smoothed things out without any unwanted shine. After applying, I easily used my own liner (MAC Stripdown) to tone down the pinkness of the edges.
This isn’t something I would use everyday – I can see how this could dry out your lips since it does have a bit of alcohol and no nourishing properties, even with the gloss. However, I work some 14 hour days and this is definitely the best long-wear lip color I’ve used to date.
The gloss is very hydrating with vitamin E and Shea butter that penetrates thru the color right into your lips. I quit wearing all other lip products and have only been using Lipsense since early May. My lips have never been so healthy looking since using Lipsense. I’m in love these lip colors and glosses. The staying power is also a huge perk! I finally found a lip color that lives up to its claims!!! I highly recommend this to everyone.
