Nothing special

It leaves lips nice and hydrated, however I wouldn't say it is a primer. It doesn't really help with wear time. Also found that with some liquid lipsticks, that usually last all day, it made them crumble and peel of my lips within minutes.

Hi Willie, thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback on our Prep and Prime Lip. We are sorry to hear you didn't find this helped in improving the wear time of your lipstick. In terms of the application we would advise applying your lip primer and leaving it for minute or two to allow it to go tacky on the lips before lipstick application - we would hope this would help in regards to the peeling and the wear time as this gives the lip product something to cling to. Our artists are also available on Live Chat and would be happy to advise should you need any help with any lipstick application tips.

I am a mature woman with those annoying little vertical lines that lipstick tends to bleed into. Well, no more! This stuff is the bomb! Smooths, hydrates, prevents bleeding, holds your color longer, I'm just amazed.

I absolutely LOVE this product!! Makes your lips so soft, makes your lipgloss/lipstick glide on so easily. It smells good too. However, when I received mine in the mail, I notice that I cannot adjust the product (can't advance or retract). Soooo disappointed because I want to continue to purchase but will not if I cannot be guaranteed that the product will advance/retract.

Kind of Sticky

It's not creamy like I've read, it's actually a bit sticky once it gets on my lips. However, it prevents my liquid lipstick from getting in the lines of my lips and prevents it from flaking off!
