November
Claims:  Lasts up to 16 hours, won't
flake off and sets in one minute.
We found:  Real color that lasts
through meals and kisses!  However,
we did reapply the top coat a few
times throughout the day.  It has a
moisturizing formula without the
greasiness.  Quick to remove without
having to scrub.
Claims:  12 hours of color and shine
that won't kiss off, feather or bleed.
We found:  Long lasting color for
hours, but we had to reapply the
topcoat.  The formula wasn't as drying
as some but felt like it left a gummy
residue.  It was also quite stubborn to
remove at the end of the day.
Claims: Lasts up to 12 hours,
food-proof, comfortable wear, and no
topcoat required.
We found:  Long lasting color, but not
quite 12 hours.  The formula was
extremely drying, even more so than
most long-wearing lipsticks.  
Therefore, it wasn't quite comfortable
and could actually use a glossy
topcoat.
