****This trial opportunity has closed****

If you're a gal that likes her lip colour to shine, chances are you've tried countless lipsticks promising high shine.  And you've probably tried loads of glosses promising colour depth and staying power.  And unless you're keeping a huge secret from us, you'll have probably discovered two lip truths.  Lipsticks, no matter how much they sheen, just don't shine like the finish of a lip gloss.  And lip glosses just don't have the colour depth, nor longevity of a lipstick. You've probably even tried to get the best of both world's and slicked your favourite gloss over your favourite lippy in the hope for the ultimate lip look.  Did it work?

Humour us for a minute.  Imagine your favourite lipstick was a liquid - all the same colour and staying power, but in a liquid form, with a high shine finish.  Race you to the store?!

Well of course, we'd never tease you with something we couldn't deliver, which is why, for our lipstick loving members, we have a fantastic trial opportunity!

We're putting ZA Rich-Glam Liquid Rouge to the test.  This nifty liquid lippie promises the 'rich color of lipstick and glamorous shine of lip gloss with a single application'.  Say what?!  If you're wondering how a product can achieve something so fantastic, we'll tell you.  It's a combination of the right formula and a revolutionary applicator.

The Liquid Rouge formula is an even 50/50 mix of lipstick and gloss.  When you rub your lips together, the gloss particles seep out to the surface, forming a gloss layer that seals in the lipstick layer and leaves a high shine finish.  The special curved applicator holds just the right amount of liquid and fits the natural contour of your lips for an even application.

Fancy a place on this trial team? Tell us your lipstick preferences - do you prefer a shiny finish to your lipstick, or are you a happy matte girl?  If you love to shine, how to you go about it?  Lipstick and gloss?  Or just lipstick?  Do you prefer solid lipsticks or do you find liquid formulas suit your needs more?  Get chatting to us below!

I hardly ever use solid lipstick because it generally feels dry and I love the glossy smooth feeling of liquid lipsticks

8th August, 2014

I normally use matte lipsticks and recently have been loving liquid matte lipsticks! I dont like lip gloss as most are thick and sticky but would love to try and test a liquid lipstick!

I love a glossy look and normally use apply a lipstick or lipliner first then lipgloss. Haven't tried a liquid lipstick before but would love to and would love a place on this trial team :)

Solid is just always a classic and it seems to stay on so much better ! and there never really a fuss with it being sticky and getting all over the place especially when it windy like some liquids do !

Had this poll in my head the last few days so went and checked the 3 handbags I swap between. Ratio of Liquid Vs Solid in each bag - 2:1 ! Seems I definitely prefer my glossies :) Do prefer a good colour in them though, no pales for me. Like the sound of this Za with its richness!

I'm definitely a solid lipstick fan, a bit of moisture is okay, but I prefer a matte finish. I think its because I have long hair and there is nothing worse than battling with stray hairs that stick to my lips and need to be carefully removed before they smudge the lipstick all across my face! Also why I don't use lip gloss, even though I love a high gloss finish. Only scenario is if my hair is up in a tight bun, and gelled down entirely.

I am a liquid girl, I love the glossy look! =) I do own a couple of solids but I always put lip gloss over the top of them.

I have never tried a liquid lipstick before so would be great to give it a try

30th July, 2014

I have mostly used solid lipsticks over the years but recently discovered the fabulous Chichi matte lip lacquers... They are so amazing, delivering good pigmentation and shine then wearing down to a matte finish that lasts all day. I love them and would be keen to try something similar. You could say I'm converted except for windy days when my hair is down = disaster, lippy on hair and face!!

I definitely prefer the shiny finish of liquid lipsticks, but often find that they are a bit sticky - so I usually have to stick to putting clear gloss on top of a matte lipstick

30th July, 2014

I only have solid lipsticks at the moment because I lost my liquid one but I loved it because I found once it set it had better stay power. I'm not sure if it's like that with all liquid lipsticks though!

30th July, 2014

I've been a huge solid lipstick fan all throughout.. Never found a liquid one to stay and have a creamy effect. Keen to try this one as it looks quite cool...

30th July, 2014

I love solid lipsticks because they don't tend to run like liquid lippies. This sounds ideal - would love to try it if it will provide the gloss without the runny stickiness!

30th July, 2014

I'm pretty new to lipsticks! I was never a lipstick wearer, til I bought my first few recently. So far I only own solid lipsticks, but would love to try a liquid lipstick!

29th July, 2014

Would love to try!
