Lead the Way
Why have you changed the colour of Lead The Way (# 15). It was the most amazing colour and now its a much paler version. Is there an alternative close to how it used to be ? Cant believe its changed, I've read loads of reviews on other sites where people are saying the same thing

Formula change: delicious to rancid
I've been using this product for years. Stays on great, smells amazing. Just bought two new ones and it's obvious the formula has changed. The smell actually made me gag. Will be returning. Super sad!

Website pictures are asinine and unhelpful
So many pictures of this product are not useful. You have two pictures of all the color swatches that are supposedly available, and NONE of the colors are labeled. Then you have pictures of "influencers" that aren't even wearing the relevant color and also don't say what color they are wearing. Absolutely idiotic. The pictures amount to a stupid commercial instead of a useful guide.

Not built to last
They discontinued my fav matte ink color (globetrotter) so I tried a similar shade in the lip crayon (Rise to the top). I applied, ate breakfast 30 mins later, checked the results and unfortunately the only thing that lasted was the lip outline. Definitely save your money and don’t buy this. It doesn’t last 8 hours. Not even close.

The color is very deceiving when seeing it online. Best to go into the store. Even then the color tabs provided are not 100% accurate.

Love it
This is my favorite lipstick, and I use many of the shades. I only need to reapply a few times throughout the day.

105 on the grind
This color has changed. I used to LOVE this color so much. It's all I would be because the pigment and color were exactly right for my difficult olive skin tone: now it's got a weird orangey tone to it, the pigment is not as deep, i used to be able to even use as a liner and now it's much softer and not as full of a color. The depth sucks. I'm so SAD. Color on right is the original... left is the new. It's also less matte which additionally i do not like. Even the tubes seem different colors. UGH. Rude.

Smells bad
I have used this brand for years without any problems. This particular one has a distinctly different smell to it and made my lips burn. I will be returning.

Five-Star Creamy Goodness
I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for makeup but I love this crayon SO MUCH that I decided to share. I had tried so many wear-proof glosses, stains and lipsticks expensive and cheap that I was about to give up — they were either too drying, to sloppy even with a lip brush, or just didn’t “stay.” Then I grabbed the Super Stay Crayon. I hadn’t even noticed it was in the stay put category, I was just in a hurry and grabbed it because I had liked the color. So imagine my surprise when this super creamy, no drying, easy to use accurately crayon STAYED PUT!! Through a whole work day! And equally important to well-seasoned women — it doesn’t bleed into lip creases. So thanks to a coincidental grab, I now have a long wearing lipstick I can recommend without caveats.

Works great
Beautiful color and honestly very good staying power. It lasted about 6 to 7 hours. After that, it started being able to be wiped off if you're looking for a truly no transfer situation I suggest the super stay 24 color lipstick that has the color on one end and the balm on the other.

The formula has obviously changed!
This lipstick changed and not for the better. I have purchased this same type and the same color for well over 5-years. My recent purchase now has a creamy texture in comparison to the old version that goes on more matte. This translates to it doesn't stay on as long as this lipstick in past years. The manufacturer obviously changed the formula like so many other companies today to make us use more of the product which in turn means you need to purchase it again more quickly. What amazes me is that do the companies do not realize that long time user of products will notice the change in a heartbeat. What a corrupt business world we are living in today.
