There is nothing more annoying than finding your perfect lipstick and then realising it only lasts a minute on the lips - one sip of a coffee, or champagne, and it\'s gone! Well, this month on handbag.com we\'re mad about lipsticks and have decided to put some to the durability test. These are our top five long-lasting, luscious lipsticks, in some fantastic shades for this season.

\r\n\r\n

Clarins Joli Rouge in 716 - Clarins Red

\r\n\r\n

\"This bright red lipstick is the perfect way to brighten up any dull winter\' day. It\'s highly moisturising, has an intense colour and leaves lips feeling soft and vibrant. Feel confident in the knowledge that this is one red lipstick that you don\'t have to worry about.\"

Mac Lipstick in Lady Danger

\"Wow! This sexy, long-lasting lipstick is the most amazing colour - and I happened to see adorning the lips of many fashionistas at London Fashion Week recently. It\'s a trendy mix of red and vibrant pink and is oh-so hot for right now. It lasts amazingly well and isn\'t at all drying, even with a re-application after several hours. You can eat and drink and still be left with lipstick on - I was really impressed! Perfect, it\'s a handbag must.\"

\"These lip velvets from Laura Mercier are amazing - you apply them like a gloss with a lip wand but they set on the lips like a lipstick, with amazing colour and long-lasting power. This colour is perfect and subtle for every day and, when applied in the morning, you\'ll be surprised when it\'s there several hours and cups of coffee later.\"

17 Lasting Fix Lipstick in Blondie

\"This is a subtle shimmery lipstick that adds a natural streak of colour to lips. It doesn\'t dry out the lips and lasts for a good amount of time so that you don\'t have to worry about re-applying after just one drink on a night out. If you want something that\'s got staying power and is budget friendly, this is for you.\"

Elizabeth Arden Exceptional Lipstick in Black Cherry

\"This lipstick leaves you with some va va voom! It\'s a highly-pigmented colour is vampy and sexy. It lasts really well on the lips, partly due to the creamy texture and the deep cherry colour. Your lips aren\'t left dry and parched and it\'s perfect for evening and social events where you want to stand out from the crowd.\"
