L'paige White (true pink) Aloe Lipstick Change Color

I first bought L’Paige lipstick in Naples, FL at The Mole Hole Gift Shop in 1985, picking up new tubes on yearly vacations to Naples until the Mole Hole wasn’t around (2000-ish)? Oh boy! I was SOL as this had become my go-to lipstick (it really was a remarkable product in the ‘80s … revolutionary even).Then … a friend found it - with the brand’s now expanded line of makeup - at the NY State Fair in 2000 where she picked up 2 tubes for me in the Black I’d worn for so long and I was so happy! I lived 50 miles away from NY State Fair’s Syracuse, NY location, but would go every year for years (until I found it on Amazon) just to buy 2 tubes, which - even as a daily user - always lasts me one year … a little goes a very long way.A stain, it looks best blotted, then another application, then blotted a very little bit again. I finish with a clear or lighter color gloss or matte product. After 40 years of using this every single day, I know this product well!I also use this as blush, blending very quickly as it’s not super moisturizing. But it’s staying power makes it a wonderful blush - in Black, which “turns” to a raspberry, the perfect color for my cool skin tone which now is usually tanned by the Florida sun.I live in SW Florida now, play outdoor sports including daily swimming. L’Paige’s old tag line for its then only product (this lipstick) was “Won’t Kiss Off, Drink Off or Smoke Off!”I can tell you it pretty much simply won’t come off for many hours.Oh, also … it smells wonderful!

Turned a pinkish. Another brand turned more natural. But I like it! Really stays on throughout the day without becoming sticky or dry.

A friend told me about a $45 lipstick she bought and wasn’t crazy about. She was intrigued by the claim that color adjusted to each person’s chemistry. I found this much less expensive lipstick in Amazon that not only resulted in a long wearing and flattering color but also was very moisturizing! I highly recommend it.

So I bought this lipstick because I wanted to find a moisturizing lipstick that was also black. Apparently that’s very hard to come by. I should have read the fine print that it was not going to go on my lips black. But it is super moisturizing and a flattering fuchsia color. I gave it 4 stars because I’ve never had a more moisturizing lipstick before and the color is gorgeous. I only left out one star because the color wasn’t what I expect. But I will still use the crap Out of this one because it’s so nice!

Product is now so expensive $14 , sad. Used toBe $6.95
