Review: Senegence Products- Lipsense, Shadowsense, etc.

[LipsDiva]

Yes, the Shea Butter gloss WILL heal your lips over a short period of time. It's Patented and FSA-approved and that says a lot! You're beautiful and your review was adorable. hugs

[ginabinawina99]

[oooweeannaye]

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!

[ginabinawina99]

I'm already aware of the FTC mandate :)

[ginabinawina99]

I've been aware of this for a month. It's not as easy as a slap on 11k fine, btw.. It will be a rare occurence where people are even brought to court proceedings. You won't receive an email one day and see.. you owe us 11k.

[swimloverts95]

what is the FTC video?

[thelovelymshulia]

I've used these products for about 5 years... My mom sells it at her Medical Spa, Cool River, and she is CRAZY about the line of lipsenses!

[ginabinawina99]

how neat!! I'm glad someone else is enjoying the lipsense!

[Sarahmacd100]

Thank you for this review Gina! :) Is there one color of the lip sense in particular you would recommend?

[ginabinawina99]

the one i'm loving a bunch is called sugar plum. It's a very light plum with this ultra ultra fine gold particle in it. It's currently a monthly favorite wearing it every 3 days and sometimes two days in a row. xoxo!

[natashalovie]

do you think your review of this line of makeup is biased because you got all those products for free? I've noticed that everyone here on youtube gives fantastic reviews for products they got for free.

[ginabinawina99]

Personally, no I don't. Like I mentioned, I dislike or wasn't impressed with some of the senegence products. I even was planning on giving a not so good review on the lipsense until I learned I did it all wrong. If I was biased I could easily just rave about it all. I also wasn't that tickled about the foundation. So end all is, I love two of their products and wasn't impressed with three: foundation, eyeliner and mascara products. Did you watch the whole review where I mentioned dislikes?

[macface2adore]

Hi Gina. Great review. I had to come watch this video. I have received so many msgs to purchase this product to review it since your vid:) The e/s look great.

[ginabinawina99]

oh wow! how neat! I hope you review some. It'd be nice to see a few more opinions on the product. Hugs!!

[myqroom]

Thanks for the wonderful review- there is so much new out there & I'll never try it all in person so it's good to hear what is the great stuff out there; those products look nice! :)

[ginabinawina99]

thanks patti! you're right.. we're bombarded with so much makeup information, and truth be told, so much of it is really nice that it makes it hard to pick and choose as a consumer what's right for us even with a trillion reviews. That's how I feel sometimes. Hugs!

[magicadespell56]

Revlon color stay has a gray lavender shadow that intense over a primer,,Gina is there a residue or build up that feels a little thickish?.. there is a learning curve to everything .. this was soooo help full..; best review on this product! love shelly...

[ginabinawina99]

roflmao! thanks sweetie!

[Zemfira25]

Great vid Gena! You had me laughing with the Gobble Gobble joke ;P

[2013LuckyGirl]

Thanks for the honest and helpful review! Did you dye your hair? it looks darker and i like it.

[ginabinawina99]

I did!! I forgot to mention it. It's like a dark mahogany brown. thanks!

[jenGeeJushawshee]

Gina, your aspect ratio is correct looking here. The other newer view, in the new location makes the aspect ratio (width/height) off on your videos.

[ginabinawina99]

yes!! I'm not all wide here like the other. Do you have any idea how to keep the aspect ratio correct when editing? That's why I did this video straight through, it gets screwy when put in windows movie maker. xoxo

[julykasa]

I have thought about trying the lipsense for a long time now. It's just the colors I'm confused about. Is the one you have pretty dark? Do you use it without using other products besides lipsense products? Hope that make sense.....

[ginabinawina99]

hey sweetie! There are a ton of colors. The ones I have are mostly like light-med in color intensity like light-medium mauvy pinks. I think this calls for a blog and some swatches if you'd like? I noticed they have nudes, too! I may break down and get one of those. and I've used anything on top of the lipsense as long as the pigment has dried properly. I've put lipstick on top to tone a color down lipgloss, etc.

[guitarrasara]

great review! does the shadowsense flake off? that is one thing i would worry about with a long wearing eye product. hope you had a happy t-day!

[ginabinawina99]

I've not noticed any of that with the shadowsense at all, but lipsense has when I've applied it and not let the product dry properly before adding a gloss or putting my lips together. xoxo!

[Missy13XoXo]

thanks for being honest& this review! :)

I just wish it was cheaper but for quality

its worth!

[ginabinawina99]

aww thanks!! I'm glad you appreciate it! $20 is a bit pricey, but if I don't have to reapply it I can see it lasting a long time. It's one of those products that's a real investment. xoxo

[MsAline18]

I love the hair color!!! :)

[ginabinawina99]

[LovePeaceandLipGloss]

Also...is the product very drying? Seems the alcohol would promote drying on your lips?

[ginabinawina99]

having worked in the nursing field, the one thing that's widely used is alcohol gel. There's a few main reasons for this, and one is that it's actually less drying on our hands than constantly washing them under water. It's evaporation rate is so fast, it barely has enough time to stay on the skin. My lips feel kind of tacky and dry at first, not because of the alcohol, but because of the raw pigment sticking on the lips. ie: usually you have lipsticks with waxes etc to make it smooth on

[ginabinawina99]

and that's where the shea butter lipgloss counteracts that and then some :)

[jmsneptuneonfire]

Yeah...I got the NPR reference, and yes...you are a nerd!! And so am I!

[ginabinawina99]

yay! haha I'm curious who else listens to npr!
