This stuff is amazing! I have this and YSL lip stain, and I really think this one is the drugstore dupe for that. great formula, no strong artificial smell and really cute packaging!
I bought this in a rush and thought it was just another lip gloss. Oops! Best mistake I ever made. Unlike some glosses that have a weird smell, this one does not. It goes on smooth and easy even on my full lips and it lasts. I have worn this out many times and have not had to go an re-apply after eating. An excellent buy hands down and lots of really nice colours!
When I bought this product I didn't pay attention that it was a lip stain. I noticed the color was still there hours after I had applied it. The stain is a little darker than the color itself. I bought this in the color Pink Resistance. The color is not bright. It's a pretty thick formula but I like it. It keeps my lips hydrated. It provided a shiny look.
I'm loving this lip stain! Its got great pigment and is really shiny. The quality is very good so you don't end up looking like you're wearing costume makeup, which I find some stains give. The feeling is very slick on your lips, not sticky at all, and both the gloss and the colour lasts a long time. I have Infinite Fuschia and it's a really deep pink that I adore. My friend has Coral Tattoo which is a bold coral-y orange, and looks amazing on her darker skin. Once i've got my summer tan rockin i'm definitely picking that one up for myself!
This is by far my go to lip gloss/stain as of late.
I love how this perform, the stain lasts a very long time on the lips but the gloss does as well. The deeper shades are the real stunners since they are so pigmented but the lighter shades are nice as well for more casual wear.
The texture is interesting, it isn't like any gloss I've tried before. It isn't sticky to itself but it sticks on the lips, I'd say it's like a very thick oil. When you apply it though it's watery like a gel it's the dry down that locks itself onto your lips.
The gloss isn't a glass like shine but it is shiny like you are wearing a gloss. The plus side is that the glossiness stays for a long time too, through eating and drinking like a pro.
If you want a long wearing stain with a nice glossy look that is very low maintenance try these out, they go on sale often.
This product is brand new and the first product I ever bought because I saw someone famous looking great and I went and found it (Jessica Chastain at the Golden Globes - google it).
The applicator is paddle shaped and works just great for even coverage and colour on the lip.
It is a very good and long wearing stain. I prefer to re-apply another gloss or balm over top for the shine as I do not find the shine lasts a long time.
It should be noted that this is one of those stains where the colour is lighter that it looks in the tube, so take your time in the store and use the testers on the wrist or top of the had until you decide which is best for you. I copied Ms. Chastain and went straight for the 'Berry Persistant', it just looked so good on her!
This is the first drugstore lip stain that I have been able to stand behind EVER. At a third of a cost of the brand that I use currently (s*il@), I will be making fewer trips to the mall this year ;)
I think we are going to be seeing this on the best lists for 2013.
