Shades Available: 8

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.900/- for 6.5ml

To start with the packaging, I love the silver steel gloss like tube but it is see through in the middle where brand name goes and you can see the shade from the see through.

The doe foot applicator is perfect for application, even on the sharp edges and for defining the cupid’s bow. It is thick, pigmented cream in texture but settles within a minute to smudge proof, matte color.

I love the fact that it is comfortable on the lips and not at all drying. I have dry lips and I have a tough time with matte lipsticks usually, but this by far has been the most comfortable matte lip stain for me.

The pigmentation is so amazing that I just need to take the product out once to cover the lips completely. I never have dipped the applicator again for more product and I feel this 6.5 ml tube would last me really, really long.

Coming to the main part for me, the staying power. It stays whole day and survives meals, tea, coffee, everything. It fades a bit by the end of the day but doesn’t budge. Also it comes off easily with a makeup remover.

L- Just Applied, R- Matte within a minute

I have the shade ‘Mauve Dusk’ which is a beautiful mauve dusky rose pink, it looks more pinker in sunlight and more mauve indoors/dim light as you can see in both the pics below.  I absolutely adore this shade and have been wearing this quite often since the time I got this.

Here it is on me..

It is definitely on the expensive side, but I would say the quantity is 6.5ml which is more than the usual 4ml in such matte lip creams/tints. I would have preferred less quantity and less price, which would have made it more economical.

But quality wise, it is just amazing! I highly recommend it!

I just wanted to add something here, I have seen mixed reviews of this lip stain and 2-3 bloggers found it very drying. I am not sure if the formulation is different for different shades, but try it before buying coz Rs.900/- is a lot to invest before trying.

  • Shanghai Sizzle
  • Milan Moment
  • Miami Fever
  • Rio Rush
  • New York Scene

MRP: Rs.675/- for 8ml

To Start with, let me tell you these are not stains, I am not sure why they are named as stains :/ These are more like a pigmented liquid lip balm or a lip lacquer to be precise.

I like the rectangular packaging and the colors outside according to the shades like red or pink. Also the country names, loved them!

The applicator is slanted and small but perfect for application. Its very runny in texture as you can see here in the swatch, so be careful when applying. It gives a wet, glossy, opaque color. Its completely non sticky and very light weight.

I absolutely loved the pigmentation! These are like so pigmented, the most in the lip lacquer category I would say. These stay for around 3 hours without eating or drinking, but if you eat, it would vanish completely 😀 It does not leave any stain. But lips are moisturized and you do not feel the need of a lip balm even in these winters, when using this. They fade away gradually and evenly.

They do get on the teeth though, even after wiping off the excess with your finger in between lips, you would need to do it 2-3 times,since these tend to run on the lips :/ Maybe since its a deeper color.

Shanghai Sizzle is a true warm red, not very bright or in your face. A subtle, wearable orange red.

T- Heavy Swatch, B- Lightly Spread

Here is it on me..

Overall, I would say these are like nice pigmented lip gloss/lip lacquer. Would not call them a lip stain. These are pigmented and glossy, stay for around 3 hours and very very light on the lips. Lips remain moisturized too. At 675 bucks, these are slightly expensive but 8ml is a good quantity. I would love to try Parisian Passion and India Intrigue.

Rating: 3.75/5
