Permanent Kiss! Does it work?

Ok ladies, how awful is it when our lipstick smudges off on our cups, our loved ones' cheeks...it's pretty gross when you think about it. So when Call For Action saw the TV ad for this product, "Permanent Kiss", we just couldn't resist. For 20 dollars we puckered up to find out...Does it Work!.

"Ok, give me kisses" From babies to stapping young men, our lipstick test had women puckering up!! "it's kind of light.."

A quick shake of the tube, apply the color and let it dry, that's all there is to it, or so the directions say... "it's not coming on smooth." But from the get-go, most of our volunteers had complaints. "This is an atrocious color!" "I think it's making my lips more chapped" "It feels like it's not there" "It tastes funny, and the way it dries.."

From color to texture to the way it feels on the lips, these women give this product the "kiss-off", but wait, they do agree, it does work. "No lipstick!"

Cheek after cheek the product does do what it claims, it stays on. But those who put it on say,

"Not a pleasant experience"

"I'd rather re-apply than have this sort of stuff that just won't come off and really isn't a pleasurable experience for me or the person I'm kissing."

So the "Permanent Kiss" does what it claims, it stays on. But our testers say it was a gooey mess to put on, it was very drying and it had an awful taste, so we're only going to give it a six out of 12.
