Compared to your regular Lipglass, the Pro Longwear Lipglass has a thicker texture and did not feel too sticky on. It applied really pigmented and creates more of a vinyl instead of glossy effect. While the flatter sponge-tipped applicator helped to deliver just the right amount of product, the gloss itself could be a little tricky to work with. I tested out different colors at the store and had a hard time getting some of them to show up evenly. I also noticed the gloss moved around a lot whenever I pressed my lips together, which could be a pain. But it was long-wearing and managed to stay on a good 4 to 5 hours.
