i dont normally like lip gloss but this one i do!

Just picked up a new stain in Berry Persistent, as I had to toss the one I had at the end of last winter. The colour is just so lovely! It isn't too 'in your face', but delivers enough of a punch for me to manipulate it. It can get pricey, but luckily there are sales on these quite often. I haven't tried the expensive one that this is supposed to dupe, but at this price point, I'm pretty happy with these.

I wasn't sure what to expect from these. I initially thought that they'd apply like a normal gloss, the gloss would wear away after and hour or so and leave behind stained lips. Sounds good enough?

But no. These are totally different than that, in the best way! They do apply like a lip gloss- well, the texture is different, but we'll get back to that in a few. Once on, the pigment (the 'stain' part) seems like sinks into your lips, leaving the gloss on the surface. Sounds odd I know, but when you see the transfer (like on a glass or whatnot) it looks clear, making me think the colour adheres to your lips.

So, I mentioned texture. These are quite wet feeling, with a thin consistency. They apply on the sheer side, but a few passes builds up the colour while still being comfortable on. They are slightly tacky, but less so than an average gloss, and they really do wear for hours. I really love how long these retain both colour and gloss. Defiantly worth trying!
