Clinique's Lipsticks are wonderful. Each one is different in great formulas;So as far as staying power goes I like the 'Long Last Lip Shine by Clinique'.'Different Lipstick' has a heavier moisturizing base than 'Lip Shine' creating a sheerer appearance.~Spiced Apple~ is a very natural Red. I'm sure many fair skinned women would love it.This shade of Red is medium in pigment, with both a blue and light brown base.It goes on lightly, with a lot of moisture. So you control the level of Red.Spiced Apple is a light creme. No frost or Mica.A natural Red that's build-able. For me it's perfect for the office. (peach tone skin)I'd recommend this shade to anyone with fair to medium skin. It looks great on both!

This lipstick is nothing like the description. Sheer? Nope. Glossy? Not at all...very matte. Soft shine? Nope. It does go on smoothly...I will give them that, but it does not wear well at all..within a couple of hours...and no eating or drinking... most of the color was gone and my lips felt dried out. What a disappontment. I purchased Rose Aglow, which turned out to be more purpley based than I expected..but not bad..In all honesty, I would have returned this but I could not find the little box the lipstick came in and so I am stuck with it.

This is my favorite lipstick, by far, and I have tried many. The texture is very smooth and creamy, it doesn't dry out my lips, and it doesn't have a weird taste. The color (Twilight Nude) is really beautiful. It is appropriate for daytime use, but I also wear it when I am going out at night. It is not a long lasting formula, so I do have to reapply it a couple times throughout the day, but it lasts longer than most non-longlasting formulas with the added bonus of it not being drying.

These would be perfect if they had a bit more staying power. But for smooth wear (they never, ever, ever dry out and bunch up on your lips), and flattering colors, you cannot beat the Different Lipsticks. Coverage is good, with enough pigment to give you a good, even color while still being slightly sheer and letting your lips show through just a little. The formula feels light on the lips and is not sticky or greasy. I've worn so many different colors in this line, but right now my favorite of the moment is Rose Aglow. Absolutely no smell or taste, which should be the norm for lipsticks if you ask me. These have been around a while and may not be the newest or most trendy, but sometimes the classics can't be improved upon.

I bought Raspberry Glace for my mom a while back and she loved the rosy pop of color as well as the creamy texture and long lasting lipstick. She wanted a change in color and asked me to go back to Sephora and pick a new shade for her, preferably more subdued for an every day look.So I went looking for a shade that was rose nude, close to a "my lips but better" shade for my mom. I stumbled upon Twilight Nude, which looked very dark in the tube but swatched on my hand looked like a perfect neutral. One thing to note is that in my "purchased" products on this website, Twilight Nude comes up as "Different Lipstick" but on the packaging it comes up as "Long Last Lipstick".Anyway, I brought this lipstick home to my mom and she was skeptical when looking at the color on the tube but when she put it on she was pleasantly surprised at how neutral and not dark it was on. It has a more "sheer" formula, I would say similar to some of the NARS sheer lipsticks but with more pigment with less application. My mom loved the color and said it was going to be her new lipstick that she would keep repurchasing. The formula is very creamy and pigmented as well as long wearing. It's also a great value for its price. I would definitely recommend! « less
