As much as I love leather and have no ethical qualms about it, it does make me very sad seeing young people get leather footwear and letting it crack and degrade and need to be thrown out many years before it otherwise would due to neglect. The amount of desperately thirsty blundstones I see...
I find a lot of folks my age just don't know that leather needs a little care to last in the way leather is known for. There's something so tragic about it being let dry out and degrade after a couple years, when that person could have kept wearing them for much, much longer had they taken 15 minutes every month or two for a bit of maintenance. Something died for those boots. Take care of them so they can take care of you.

LIPSENSE FAQ
IS LIPSENSE A STAIN? HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LONG LASTING LIP COLORS LIKE KAT VON D, KYLIE JENNER’S LIPKIT OR STILA? No, LipSense is not a stain. Lip Stains create a barrier on your lips and LOCK-OUT moisture. LipSense is specially formulated to molecularly bond to your lips while still allowing the hydrating lip gloss to penetrate the color and hydrate your lips with shea butter and vitamin E.
LipSense's formula is patented and it is the ONLY product that is both long lasting and hydrating. LipSense is a two part system and you need the LipSense Color and LipSense Gloss for the product to hydrate and work correctly. The LipSense formula is proprietary and no other company can use our formula! LipSense is versatile and unlike any traditional lipsticks- in that you can mix shades to create a number of effects and Lipsense is Wax Free, NON- GMO, Cruelty Free, Vegan, Lead Free (most lipsticks aren’t- gross!) LipSense is a hassle-free lipstick.
LipSense® is a liquid lip color that is "permanent for the day", kiss-proof, smudge proof and waterproof! LipSense will not feather, fade or bleed, it won't crumble and it also won’t get on your teeth or smear onto your face- even during a visit to the dentist! LipSense provides a 100% mechanical shield to protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays and the wind, bacteria, various free radicals and even pollution!
Our Unique product does not dry out your lips or feel heavy….it is so thin on your lips you will forget it is even there! LipSense Gloss restores the moisture content to your lips LipSense color allows your lips to exfoliate naturally removing dry and damaged lip cells LipSense Color lasts anywhere between 4 and 18+ hours LipSense is 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Let us introduce you to the last lipstick you will ever wear!
HOW LONG WILL MY LIPSENSE STAY ON MY LIPS? ALL DAY? DO I NEED TO RE-APPLY? LipSense lip color will last anywhere from 4-18+ hours- sometimes- it’s there until you take it off. Each color is formulated differently and reacts with your body’s PH and skin chemistry. You may notice some colors last much longer than others, and that is part of the amazingness of LipSense!
HOW LONG DOES A TUBE OF LIPSENSE LAST? IF I USE IT EVERYDAY... A single color of LipSense if worn everyday- will last between 4-6 months. That’s equivalent to about 4 regular lipsticks!
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF LIPSENSE......IF I DON'T WEAR IT EVERYDAY WILL IT GO BAD? LipSense has a 3 year shelf life. It lasts much longer than any traditional cosmetics because it contains cosmetic grade alcohol- SD-40, which keeps out all the bacteria and allows us to be preservative free!
WHAT LIPSENSE ISN'T STAYING ON MY LIPS? LipSense is a unique product that will allow your lips to exfoliate naturally. The initial exfoliation period is different for each person, it could be a few days or a few weeks. It depends on how much product build up you have on your lips, how hydrated your lips currently are and the skin health of your lips. Your PH levels also are a factor. We encourage our first time users, and users in dry climates to use a gentle lip scrub, drink plenty of water ( you should do this anyway because it’s so good for your health) and use either the LipSense Lip Balm or LipSense Glossy gloss when not wearing your LipSense lipColor, and at night. You also want to make sure you are applying the LipSense Lip Color and LipSense gloss correctly. Make sure you use only three THIN layers of color- or even 2 thin layers of a thicker matte finish color, i.e Apple Cider, Bella, First Love, etc. If the color is layered on too thick, it may start to peel off, so don’t layer more than 3 layers. *Tip* Keep applying your LipSense gloss throughout the day as needed- if you lips feel dry apply it, if you are about to eat- apply it and it will help the longevity of your color!
I'VE BEEN APPLYING MY LIPSENSE AS DIRECTED BUT IT'S STILL NOT STAYING. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?I Your lips naturally exfoliate the top layer of skin every 8-10 hours or so, and LipSense comes off when your lips exfoliate, and because LipSense only bonds to your top layer of your lips it comes off when your lips exfoliate. Other products that contain wax- inhibit your lips from being abble to exfoliate correctly and then make your lips dry and cracking. Lipsense allows the natural exfoliation process of your lips, and Lipsense will not damage the new healthy layers of your lips when the top layer exfoliates. The LipSense Glossy Gloss has Shea Butter and Vitamin E that penetrate several layers down and actually work to increase the hydration in the under layers of skin- making your lips healthier! The more moisturized your lips are the longer it will take your lips to exfoliate- so if you are taking really great care of your lips already your LipSense will last as long as you want it to! Most customers find the color will last all day even when reapplying the Gloss multiple times throughout the day.
CAN I USE OTHER GLOSSES OVER MY LIPSENSE COLOR? Not if you want your product to work as LipSense is designed. It will not last if you don’t use the LipSense gloss. LipSense is a 2 part system ( color and gloss) if you don’t use both it won’t hydrate properly, the color won’t last and it will bead up and look unsightly.
LipSense is 100% guaranteed product if you are using it correctly by sealing the color with the LipSense Gloss. WHY ALWAYS 3 LAYERS?
LipSense works that the first layer bonds to your lips, and breaks down the quickest because it touches the skin and is exposed to your PH. The 2nd layer is the layer that is sandwiched in between the top and finishing coat and keeps your color looking flawless all day, and the finishing coat is what is exposed to all the sun, water, wind, food, saliva etc. So, they all work together to keep those lips full of color all day long!
WHY IS THERE A TINGLING SENSATION WHEN I APPLY MY LIPSENSE? WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT "STINGS"? The first time you try LipSense it can tingle- if your lips are not properly hydrated. And surprise if you are using a wax based lipstick or chapstick these items will dry your lips out! They are not at all hydrating. If you properly hydrate your body and take care of your lips you will not notice a tingle. If you have severely chapped lips and try lipsense it can feel like it is “burning” with an intense tingling sensation. - You need to use the Glossy Gloss or Lip Balm to heal your dry lips before and while using lipsense. The sensation will stop once you have finished the application and applied the moisturizing gloss- even if your lips are severely chapped. After you have used the Gloss for a day or two you will rarely ever experience the tingling again.
Dry lips can be caused by repeated use of wax and paraffin based lipsticks, which, by their nature, cause dry lip tissue because t keeps the top layer of your lips intact when they need to exfoliate. You can eliminate this by conditioning the lips for a few days and not using any wax based products. Once you use the LipSense and the Moisturizing Gloss on a regular basis the dry lips will be gone forever.- Throw away your old chapsticks and waxy lipstick as these will dry out your lips and keep the wax build up on your lips- hindering the LipSense from bonding correctly.
CAN I MIX MY LIPSENSE COLORS? YES! You can mix colors on a make up pallet, or you can layer different colors with your 3 layers! If you are layering different colors, you will notice a different color depending on which layer you use with each color. Create your own custom shade! You can darken a color with blackberry, or plum, or red cherry, and even lighten colors with bombshell.
IS LIPSENSE FDA APPROVED? All of the ingredients in LipSense are FDA Approved. The colors are derived from flowers, the sparkle in Precious Topaz is actual diamond dust!

Distributors and Independent Retail Establishments sell product via group demonstrations in homes, at work, at trade shows, conventions and expo events or in a privately owned boutique. LipSense is not allowed to be sold on Amazon, Ebay or in Chain stores because it is important to the company and the consumer to receive excellent and knowledgable customer service, 100% of the time.

DOES LIPSENSE CONTAIN LEAD? No Lead in any products!
ARE THERE ANY LIPSENSE OR LOP GOSS THAT ARE CERTIFIED GF (GLUTEN FREE)? Yes, our Lip Color and Glosses do NOT contain wheat and gluten.
THE LIPSENSE LIP COLORS APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SHADES FROM TIME TO TIME. WHY? Just like in organically dyed fabric, there are slight variations in naturally derived ingredients for color. LipSense produces each Lip color in small batches to keep the color consistency, but from time to time there may be a very minimal difference in color. If you didn’t put two tubes together form different batches, I doubt you would notice any difference at all.
IS THERE SPF IN THE GLOSSES? No. However, the Lip Color provides 100% UVA / UVB coverage.
WHY BUY AN OOPS REMOVER? Oops Remover is more than just an application corrector! It’s a hydrating, repairing and conditioning primer, and works great on many other household items too! Use OOPS Remover as an application remover in case you make a mistake putting on that beautiful shade of long lastingLipSense Lip Color- because once it’s on your lips it’s not coming off. You can also use OOPS remover to help lift the color at night when you are ready to remove your LipSense. Why should you buy LipSense Liquid Lip Color with LipSense Gloss and Oops Remover? LipSense Lip Color and LipSense Lip Gloss are a two part delivery system. If you don’t use the LipSense gloss- you won’t have hydration and your lips will stick together, it also won’t last and it will look unsightly. Your purchase is 100% guaranteed if you purchase the set. The LipSense gloss is specially patented to hydrate your lips, condition, and seal your lip color. Any other gloss will break down the Lip color and leave a milled residue on your lips. - No one wants that! In addition, the Moisturizing Glosses help to keep the lips moist and plump. What happens if I get LipSense on my clothes? The color is easily removed by having the item dry-cleaned, or use Ooops! Remover to help lift the color and wash your clothes at home.
Can I use other glosses/balms over LipSense? No, simply they will not work with LipSense.

It’s a special type of leather…and very stylish.
But oddly enough…
A lot of men avoid wearing it. Some never even try.
Why? You may hear reasons like:
It’s not for me
It’s expensive
It’s difficult to maintain
The first 2 are honestly excuses…the third is usually the problem.
But let me tell you…
If you have at least one suede jacket or a suede pair of shoes in your closet – and you take good care of it – it’ll come in handy at some point.
Because suede can look fantastic on a guy (if he wears it confidently).
So if you’re on the fence about suede care and maintenance…don’t worry. Check out this ultimate guide to cleaning, storing & protecting your suede items. I’ve designed it to make life easier for suede wearers.
Read up, learn, and no more excuses.

Click Here To Watch The Video – How To Clean Suede Products
Suede Care: Part 1 – Cleaning Methods
Suede is a stylish but delicate clothing material. This means there are multiple techniques for cleaning suede items you can pick. I’m going to break down each one of them. But always check the label of your item for cleaning instructions before you proceed with any method.
Cleaning Method #1 – Brushing (After Heavy Use)
This involves a brass wire brush (for very short suede) or an actual suede brush (the kind with a visibly fuzzy nap). Perform quick, light strokes while using either one so the bristles get deep into the fibers removing dirt/scum or dust.
Tumblr media
Do NOT press too much except if you’re dealing with stubborn marks. Don’t brush on a hard surface – place a towel underneath the shoe.
Always brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This keeps the item looking consistently clean and tidy. For suede with a longer nap, it’s better to use a multi-headed brush or crepe brush for extra softness. Another option is the double-sided brush – with a soft-bristled brush on one side and a suede block on the other.
Alternatively, try a suede eraser (or a standard pencil eraser if you don’t have) to remove dirt smudges or stains – and it’s okay to rub harder with it. But for nubuck suede, use a suede block. This will erase any stains plus soften any leathers which have sheen from overwear.
Tumblr media
LATEST VIDEOS
If the nap of your item looks tired and flattened all over, hold it above steam from a kettle (or better yet a steam cleaner) for a few seconds and then proceed to brush.
Cleaning Method #2 – Dab With Water (For Wet Shoes)
This is a legitimate way to use water for preventing stains – particularly on a pair of clean wet suede shoes. If you’ve just now spilled water, apply pressure on them with a paper towel.
Tumblr media
If you have the patience to do this until it’s dried up most of the moisture…you may avoid a water stain. For shoes that are water-stained but not soaked all over, spray/brush a thin layer of water evenly over the whole upper. Brush the stains gently and work around the edges.
The next step is the same whether your shoes got soaked in the rain or you just covered them with water. Use a sponge or dry cloth to soak up any excess water. Dab gently until the leather is evenly wet. Stick blank white paper (not newspaper) and shoe trees in your shoes to soak up water and help the shoes retain their shape.
Leave the shoes overnight in a dry, well-ventilated area. Once dry (or while they’re drying if you prefer) go over the shoes lightly with a suede brush. This helps shake out the grain back to its original look.
Note: Never put a suede item next to a heater or through a dryer. The high heat can cause it to shrink, fade, become warped or as hard as jeans.
Cleaning Method #3 – Cornstarch / Talcum Powder
If you’ve spilled liquid on your suede item, pat the affected spot with a clean cloth and apply a layer of cornstarch or talcum powder. Let it settle overnight. Then use a suede brush to remove the dried powder. Don’t be tempted to clean wet stains – you’ll only make them worse.
Tumblr media
Once the stains are dry – rub over them using either (A) a suede cleaning block, (B) the suede of the other shoe, (C) either an emery board or (D) a low-grit sandpaper but rub carefully. When you’ve removed the stain, brush and re-spray the item. Then use an eraser to restore the nap.
Cleaning Methods For Specific Types Of Stains
Mud Stains: Wipe away excess mud without pushing too hard against the suede then leave to dry. Break off the larger chunks with your hands before finishing with a suede brush.
Blood Stains: Dab at the stain with a peroxide-soaked cotton ball slowly until the blood comes out.
Wax/Chewing Gum: Put your item in the freezer for a few hours to harden the gooey substance so you can chip it off. Finish with a suede brush.
Coffee/Tea/Juice: Place two layers of paper towel over the stain before you start using a brush. Apply moderate pressure with your hands or a flat object.
Ink Spills: Quickly grab a paper towel and try to blot the ink up. If it sets, scrape the stain off with sandpaper or try using a rubbing alcohol-soaked cotton ball.
Salt Lines: Apply a small amount of white vinegar through a soft rag or towel. Let it dry and then agitate with a suede brush.
Oily/Unknown Stains: Use a suede brush to scrub the stain as you would for dirt or dust. Then use a nail brush with warm water to scrub off stubborn stains.
For Irremovable Stains On Your Suede – Try Professional Cleaning
If all else fails and the stain just isn’t coming off:
Take your stained suede shoes to a cobbler
Take your stained suede jacket to a dry cleaner who specializes in leather & suede
It may not be the cheapest solution but it does guarantee results. You won’t risk ruining the suede whatsoever. This would also be a great thing to do BEFORE you stow away your winter suede shoes/boots or jacket during the warm months.
Suede Care: Part 2 – Protection Tips
Here’s the reality with suede items. They’re mortal – bound to wear down and lose their stylishness over time. It helps to know how to de-stain them…but they’ll never be 100% safe from the elements of rain, snow or salt (unless you keep them in your closet forever). You also can’t avoid wearing them in cold weather all the time.
Tumblr media
The good news? You can take protective measures so you can wear suede even with those elements present (except for days with heavy rain). All you need is a suede protector spray which you’ll find in shoe repair stores or drugstores. It’s water- and dirt-repellant…and the best version would be a waterproof silicone-based spray with a neutral color.
When you’ve got this spray at home, learn to use it after each time you clean your suede and the item has fully dried. Here’s how to apply the spray to your suede items:
Check that the suede material is clean and dry (you would’ve done the appropriate cleaning method first).
Test the spray on a small area to see if there’s a drastic change in color.
If the color is fine – spray the suede-covered areas of the upper and then spray the entire item evenly (some slight darkening overall is natural). Make sure you don’t over-saturate.
Do one final quick brush in a single direction over the suede.
Let the item air-dry on a towel for 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.
Tumblr media
How often should you spray your items? I’d recommend spraying suede jackets & belts once every 2 months, and suede shoes once a week (unless you don’t wear them for extended periods of time).
Note: Do NOT consider using leather creams or shoe polish. They don’t work on suede the way they do on other leather types. They can disrupt the fibers and spoil your suede items even if they aren’t stained or dirty.
Suede Care: Part 3 – Storage Tips
There are two main issues to watch out for when storing your suede: (1) direct sunlight and (2) a lack of air circulation. So you ought to keep them in a cool, dry place that doesn’t receive sunlight. Suede that’s left exposed to the sun can shrink, fade or harden. Avoid wrapping the items in plastic as well. The fibers in the suede need some breathing room.
Tumblr media
Another tip is to use shoe trees made of unfinished cedarwood for your suede shoes/boots. Choose the kind with a split toe and fully shaped heel for a close fit. They’re meant to quickly deodorize and absorb moisture. But remember to take the suede off the trees within 1-2 hours so as to maintain their foot shape.
If you don’t plan to wear your suede footwear for quite some time, you can either…
Store them in a dust bag.
Wrap them in tissue paper and then store in a shoebox.
Now with a suede jacket: you need a well-shaped plastic hanger for hanging up the jacket. See to it there are no folds or creases. Make sure the sleeves are fixed, the pocket is lined flat, and everything is buttoned. This is how you’ll keep the jacket in perfect form after every use.
Remember…Well-Kept Suede Is A Luxury
Is this guide (with all the work and patience required) really worth following? Only you can decide for yourself. Take a look at your suede item and think: “What do I feel when I’ve got this on and it’s in perfect condition?”
Does your suede jacket sharpen the look of your arms, shoulders, and torso? Do your suede boots help you walk more confidently to work, or help you kill at while dancing at the next party you’re in? Do people you encounter nod and give you second looks or ask about your clothing?  Those are the things which actually matter.
The lasting impact of suede – both on you and on others – is what you’re after. Suede is awesome to wear. It’ll probably be the case for many years to come. So if you have some well-kept suede in your wardrobe…you’ve automatically got an edge over many other guys.
Suede is a style luxury. Invest in it.

WHY CAN'T I FIND LIPSENSE AT SEPHORE OR ULTA?
LipSense is a revolutionary product therefore LipSense is set up as a Direct Selling Company. Distributors and Independent Retail Establishments sell product via group demonstrations in homes, at work, at trade shows, conventions and expo events or in a privately owned boutique. LipSense is not allowed to be sold on Amazon, Ebay or in Chain stores because it is important to the company and the consumer to receive excellent and knowledgable customer service, 100% of the time. You can find LipSense all over the world!
WHAT ARE THE PRESERVATIVES IN LIPSENSE?
NONE! LipSense is preservative Free!
DOES LIPSENSE CONTAIN LEAD?
No Lead in any products!
ARE THERE ANY LIPSENSE OR LOP GOSS THAT ARE CERTIFIED GF (GLUTEN FREE)?
Yes, our Lip Color and Glosses do NOT contain wheat and gluten.
THE LIPSENSE LIP COLORS APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SHADES FROM TIME TO TIME. WHY?
Just like in organically dyed fabric, there are slight variations in naturally derived ingredients for color. LipSense produces each Lip color in small batches to keep the color consistency, but from time to time there may be a very minimal difference in color. If you didn’t put two tubes together form different batches, I doubt you would notice any difference at all.
IS THERE SPF IN THE GLOSSES?
No. However, the Lip Color provides 100% UVA / UVB coverage.
WHY BUY AN OOPS REMOVER?
Oops Remover is more than just an application corrector! It’s a hydrating, repairing and conditioning primer, and works great on many other household items too! Use OOPS Remover as an application remover in case you make a mistake putting on that beautiful shade of long lastingLipSense Lip Color- because once it’s on your lips it’s not coming off.
You can also use OOPS remover to help lift the color at night when you are ready to remove your LipSense.
Why should you buy LipSense Liquid Lip Color with LipSense Gloss and Oops Remover?
LipSense Lip Color and LipSense Lip Gloss are a two part delivery system. If you don’t use the LipSense gloss- you won’t have hydration and your lips will stick together, it also won’t last and it will look unsightly. Your purchase is 100% guaranteed if you purchase the set. The LipSense gloss is specially patented to hydrate your lips, condition, and seal your lip color. Any other gloss will break down the Lip color and leave a milled residue on your lips. - No one wants that! In addition, the Moisturizing Glosses help to keep the lips moist and plump.
What happens if I get LipSense on my clothes?
The color is easily removed by having the item dry-cleaned, or use Ooops! Remover to help lift the color and wash your clothes at home.
Can I use other glosses/balms over LipSense?
No, simply they will not work with LipSense.

Yes! To sign up go to
