Welcome back to Beautyistic! If you’re anything like me, finding a lipstick that actually lasts without constantly needing touch-ups can feel like hunting for a unicorn. Well, today we’re exploring Rimmel London’s Provocalips 16hr Kiss-Proof Lip Color in the shade 220 Lazy Daze. This is a two-step liquid lipstick designed to lock in vibrant color while leaving a glossy finish that’s supposed to survive everything from coffee sips to long workdays.
The Provocalips line promises a lightweight, flexible formula that adapts to your lip movements, making it feel comfortable while being food-proof and transfer-proof. The shade Lazy Daze is a soft, wearable pink that’s perfect for everyday looks but still has enough pop to make your lips stand out. The product comes in a compact .14 fl.oz. packaging, and the two-step system involves applying the color first, then sealing it with a clear gloss-like top coat to lock it in place.
In my experience, applying this was surprisingly straightforward. The first layer of color goes on smooth and opaque, and the formula dries quickly, which is great if you’re on the go. The second step, the sealing top coat, really does help keep the color put—I tested it through a coffee run, a quick lunch, and even a few phone calls where I rested my lips on the handset. The glossy finish is subtle but noticeable, adding a nice dimension without feeling sticky or heavy. That said, you do need to be precise with application, especially around the edges, because once it sets, removal isn’t exactly forgiving. I recommend a gentle, oil-based makeup remover for that.
So what stands out here? The color intensity is solid, and the long-wear promise mostly holds up. The lightweight formula means you’re not stuck with that heavy, drying feeling some long-lasting lipsticks give you. On the flip side, the two-step process might feel a bit fussy if you’re used to a one-swipe lipstick, and the gloss layer can sometimes attract a little smudging if you over-apply.
Is it worth the price? Considering it delivers vibrant, long-lasting color that’s mostly kiss-proof and transfer-proof, I’d say it’s a strong contender in the mid-range lipstick category. If you’re someone who loves lip color but hates constant reapplication, this formula justifies its price. For those on a tighter budget, there are some single-step liquid lipsticks that offer decent wear, though they might sacrifice the glossy finish and longevity you get here.
Compared to other long-wear liquid lipsticks, Rimmel’s Provocalips holds up well in comfort and ease of wear. Some high-end counterparts can be more drying or sticky, so this one strikes a good balance between durability and comfort. The packaging is sturdy, the applicator is user-friendly, and the top coat adds a nice protective barrier that extends the life of the color.
