I'm a big fan of this - it's probably the best stay-on lipstick I've ever purchased. I wish I'd found it sooner after having spent far too much time and money trialling similar (but much more expensive!) products from other brands that have been nowhere near as good as this one.
I've been on the hunt for a product like this ever since stay-on lipsticks were introduced and this really is the "Holy Grail". It ticks all the boxes for me: it stays on all day, it's food-proof and kiss-proof, it feels comfortable on and it doesn't dry the lips or crumble or flake off.
I'm not really sure about the "plumping" effect, but this does definitely seem to smooth and even-out the surface of the lips (so you don't see any of the little lines that are so often more noticeable when wearing some stay-on lipsticks). Therefore this smoothing effect might contribute somewhat to the "plumping" effect that it claims? Either way, the lips definitely look much more alluring with this on and appear very much fuller when worn together with the gloss.
The "Rosy Resistance" colour is fabulous; it's a lovely neutral colour with a hint of coral that's really flattering and doesn't look overdone for daytime wear. In fact, I tend to wear the lipstick on its own for an understated velvety semi-matt finish that's ideal for daytime (and it's just as comfortable and lovely looking even without the top coat) and then I glam it up a bit with the gloss for evenings or special occasions for a full-on vampy look (without worrying that I'm going to be leaving copious amounts of sticky lippy on everything my lips might touch).
I've also found that because the colour itself is so versatile and such a lovely natural tone, I can get several more looks out of it just by changing my lip pencil from reddish-brown, to plum, to coral - all of which change the finished look of the lip colour significantly. (Thereby also saving you money because you don't have to buy lots of different shades of lipstick - this one does it all!)
I would recommend this product without hesitation and I'm thrilled that you can get it online; when I realised it wouldn't be featured in the brochure again, I contacted my AVON rep in a panic and got her to order me 3 more tubes of this immediately because I'd hate to run out of it or for it to be discontinued! I'll definitely be buying this again - LOVE IT!

This product is probably the best lip gloss-lipstick i've bought....and yes it does last!!, the only thing i would say is that it stains the lip which isn't a bad thing ,the gloss itself is just divine it really finishes it off.....ladies this is a must have!!

Review 3 for Perfectwear Plump and Stay Lip Colour
I have been a money-waster on 'top' brands, where a lot of 24/7 lipsticks/gloss simply peel off, like skin on chapped lips! however this doesnt, stays flexible, and moist, and colour lasts.
My only gripe is that Avon always seem to produce vivid colours with deep pigmentation, regarding lippie, which is very clown-like and dated, I WISH avon would produce a more subtle colour pallette, that is matte and doesnt give the jam doughnut look, or gloss that doesnt leave glitter specks on everything
I purchased Rosy Resistance, which, is fine, applied lightly, diffused with finger - a neutral plummy shade

Review 4 for Perfectwear Plump and Stay Lip Colour
I bought a pink one and the full of honey and the full of honey has to be my favourite lippy. I absolute love the colour and the gloss gives it a lovely finish (and a tingle too). Can't say I ever think the plumping action works as I can't seem to notice it, but they say if you can feel it then it's working so perhaps it is. I really recommend this.

Review 5 for Perfectwear Plump and Stay Lip Colour
I ordered Rosy Resistance as I'd had it before and loved the colour and sheen. However the one I ordered recently was a brighter colour, almost coral, rather than pinky/red and dried to a matt finish. I don't know why Avon changed the product, it used to be a much nicer colour and the sheen meant you didn't have to use the top clear coat. Disappointing...Avon bring back the old Pefectwear plump and stay pleaseeeeee!

Review 6 for Perfectwear Plump and Stay Lip Colour
I have always bought the previous version, Perfectwear, in Rosy Resistance and loved it, it had a lovely finish even without the gloss and lasted well, but this new version is nowhere near as good. It is very runny, and tends to leak out in my make up bag, or drip when I apply it, and the finish no longer has a sheen, and doesn't cover or last as well. It easily runs into fine lines around lips. No noticeable difference in plumpness, either. In fact I find the 'tingle' rather annoying. Would love to have the old version back, won't buy this one again.

I applied this lippy before leaving home this morning and I've just had my dinner; its still glued on. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone. I love it in "Plumfull" its a perfect shade for anyone and it perfectly complements my warm skin tone. I've just ordered it in "Full of Honey" and "Pink for Life". I can't wait for them to arrive too.. It's actually the best lippy I've purchased.

When I saw the container I thought I had made a mistake as I do not like this type, but found it fantastic for lasting colour and really does stay on for ages
