LipSense is *waterproof* and does not kiss off, smear off, rub off, or budge off! Meaning no lipstick prints on your coffee cup, wine glass, clothes, or loved ones! It does not dry out your lips – it works to, instead, restore the moisture content! The BEST part is the color lasts anywhere between 4 and 18 hours!! Gloss is necessary for the lip color to last and remover is suggested!!
