Silky, creamy, and luxurious for a stain

The consistency and feel of this lip stain is completely unique. IN A GOOD WAY! I have loved the staying power of a stain, yet I have not liked the feel of them on my lips. If it is sticky I do not use it. If you like the stickiness of some stains (Max Factor), this is not the stain for you. I prefer the silkiness of ELF, and love the option to wear my stains alone with out a top coat.

Works great and amazing prize! I only have to reapply it after I eat or drink maybe 2-3 times throughout the day. I'm not a fan of the lip gloss that comes with it though and I never use it.

Pretty nice for the price!

I own three of these. (First Date - which is my favorite, Fashionista, and Birthday Suit.)

These are by no means by favorite lip stain, but they are pretty darn nice. They leave a matte finish until you top it off with the gloss, and the color is pretty opaque. You could build it to be completely opaque with two layers.

The staying power is wonderful, and even better with the gloss. I'm not usually into clear gloss, however this one is freakin' fantastic. If you're not into sticky glosses, don't use it. But I personally enjoy sticky glosses for the staying power.

My only problem with these is that rather than just a gradual fade throughout the day, once they wear down it looks a little patchy. Nothing that I can't handle though.

For three bucks? Can't beat it!

Best of the best!

Ill begin by saying this is one of my favourite lip stains of all time, and it was an amazing plus that i got hooked on these during the studio 50% off sale!

The color payoff you get with these is beyond amazing, it has rich pigmentation to really give your lips the 'wow' factor.

They truly do last for so long, i can go through an entire day without reapplying which is great for the girl on the go.

The only thing i dont like about this is the color selection. I think there should be much more bolder colors its such an amazing formula that i would love to see a wide variety!

I don't wear red lips very often but when I do this is what I wear. I love a matte red lip and this is perfect. I stays on forever and it doesn't smudge at all. It comes with a clear gloss that I never use. Smell is a little strong but I don't mind it.

The perfect pink!

I love love love this product I got it during the summer to match a new shirt and it was perfect I got compliments on it all day! And since cool pinks are back in I think I'll have to bust it out more often! It applies a bit like a gloss, but I recommend working in thin layers or you get a streaky effect as with any liquid stain. I also like to smack my lips a lot while it dries so there is no way I'll get any streaks at all smacking your lips and pressing them together will also help the product last even longer, because it adheres better to the skin, I also recommend lining your lips with a natural, deep plum, or the same beautiful pink and blend it towards the middle this will create a finished, polished look and if your using plum it will make your lips look fuller and pouty add a highlight in the center of your lips with a clean white or shimmer shadow apply gloss to the center and blend to complete the plump, pouty lip look this will last all day through kisses drinks and dinner just reapply gloss if your lips feel a bit dry

ok

i got a few of these shades and there more of a lipgloss, they dont stain your lips nor do they dry as a staine should, the gloss on the other end i like i use it alot, and alot of mine accualy brok apart so its even better for me to hav on hand, the color are pretty but wont last on your lips. hope this helps

Blah

I don't care for this lip stain at all. It's way too creamy for a stain and the ones I have tried don't last very long. This is a true miss. I hope the e.l.f. works on the formula and makes a better stain.

This has got to be the worst lip stain I have every used! First of all it does not "stain" my lips, it does not stay on at all! I would say that its more of a liquid lipstick. Second, after only a few minutes of using this, it dried out my lips so bad to the point where my lips totally cracked and I had to scrub all the skin off. I do not recommend this to anyone.

I picked up this product in Heartbreaker. A few things that I noticed right off the bat that I liked were that the stain side doesn't have that chemical scent that some stains tend to have, the stain doesn't burn like some other stains do when applied, and that the gloss is a nice, thick consistency. All around a good product, but I had to knock off a star because it seems like no matter how long I allow the stain to dry, a little bit of it still comes off when I apply the gloss. Not a big deal, the product still has some major staying power. Longer than lipstick or gloss.
