I've used several shades of this lovely lip gloss - - as well as other products of similar type. (One star off for the same reason as a prior reviewer: limited shade selection. However, that's the only "con." The available colors are quite nice. I love the mauve!)

That said: This stuff is da bomb! THIS is how all lip gloss should perform. Infallible has very good staying power. What's wonderful, is it's very emollient and feels and stays soothingly hydrating the moment I put it on -- yet doesn't bleed into lip liner and get all smeary after eating or drinking.

The amount of product and its performance - - for a price of typically 9-ish dollars (sometimes less or even 1/2 off or free, with Rite Aid's "buy one get one..." offers) - - makes this a great buy. I return to it again and again, after trying other products out of curiosity and finding they can't compete.

Value like this is what makes women eschew pricier dept. store items when equally good and better products can be had for pennies on the dollar at a local drugstore....leaving us more money to buy MORE STUFF!

Another stand out...Good job, L'Oreal!

I wanted to try a long-wearing lip gloss because I get tired of dragging a lipstick across my lips. But I didn't want one of the ones you paint on color then paint on gloss.

I bought this in Sangria and also Raisin (715). Both are wine colors; the Raisin shade is a bit deeper.

I really like this product, and I hope L'Oreal keeps it going. It says it lasts for 6 hours. Your mileage may vary. I get 6 hours of color, but the gloss wears off sooner. The upside to this is you can reapply it without removing it.

The applicator tip is angled and tapered. The taper is nice because it helps with an accurate application. I find the angle a bit awkward. Because of that, and because there are a limited number of shades, I'll ding it a star. But I really am pleased with the ease of use and quality of the product.

This lipgloss is great and has good pigment (I purchased the Sunset color). It goes on wet and dries in seconds- yet is not super dry like some of long-lasting lipglosses out there. It stays on for a few hours but if you eat, it will rub off. Overall, for the price, a nice everyday lipgloss.

I probably by at least one lip product a month, if not more, in my perpetual search for the perfect color. I read reviews on-line that this was by far the favorite lip color/product of 2010. It did not disappoint!

This is the longest lasting lip gloss I've found. The 2 step lip glosses might have longer lasting color, but the gloss doesn't last. And maybe I'm just lazy, but I don't think there should be more than one step involved in applying lip gloss. I used it for every occassion - exercise, sleep, dates, work, etc. because it's the only one I've found that actually keeps my lips moisturized while adding color.

Pros:
Long lasting
Moisturizing
Looks good

Cons:
Not the glossiest lip gloss, but has shimmer that adds a subtle shine.
Comes off when I eat, drink alchohol, kiss.

I actually had no idea until just now this was for plumping your lips. It doesn't do that at all in my opinion (I feel like all glosses claim to plump your lips just because a glossy look in general makes your lips appear bigger but doesn't actually make them larger at all.) This is a great color gloss because you have a good amount of control of the color. What I do is put on chapstick and dab about 3 blobs on (mine is a deep red color 315) and spread it on my lips. It adds a perfect amount of color that stays most of the day. If I want the full shade of it I just put it on directly instead of dabbing it.

I really like the formula of the Infallible lip glosses. They don't last 6 hours like they claim but they do last considerably longer than any other gloss I have tried. I like that they are shiny and apply like a gloss. It is tackier than a regular gloss (hence why it stays on longer) and my favorite part is how it wears off. Unlike other long lasting lip products, it wears off evenly and usually leaves a hint of color (stain like) for a few hours after. So there is no ring of color around your lips like other product. I have tried several shades of these glosses and overall the colors are not as bright as they appear in the tubes, which is fine, but I found this shade (Coral Sands) to be disappointing. It was really pale on me and lacked any hint of coral. I know others really liked this shade but it just isn't very flattering on my pale skin.

Finally, a lip gloss that lasts! Ok.. I dont think it really lasts 6 hours without re-applying.. but it FAR outlasts regular lipglosses. With a regular lipgloss, it lasts less than 30 minutes ( if that ) and less than 5 minutes if you eat or drink anything; even if you do no more than rub your lips together, a regular gloss disappears, but not this. Yes, it is sticky, but really, so is most lipgloss.. I can deal with the stickyness if thats the price I have to pay for the way this makes my lips look. I also love the colors..what you see in the tube is how it looks on your lips. I will definitely buy this again, and plan to get many different colors.

This is the best gloss that I have found to date. The color is beautiful and it lasts!

This is the perfect, almost-nude color for me (I have dark hair and eyes and medium-olive skin). The shine does decrease but the color stays put making it look super-natural. The applicator offers great coverage, but it does feel a little flimsy, like it could break in the future. The gloss also feels a little sticky, and there is transfer to the coffee cup.
Overall, I recommend it.
