    The only lip ‘stains’ I like are the Fyrinnae Lip Lustres, which are a cross between lip stain, lip moisturizer and lip gloss. They’re amazing and stay on for hours.

    Normally I do not, but I really like MAC’s “Tender Tryst”, which came out in A Rose Romance.

    I like them, and I love the idea. A lipcolor that stays on all day? Awesome! But I used one yesterday, and realized that unless your lips are COMPLETELY devoid of all dead skin, then it’ll show up realllllly obviously! Like, “hey kid, did you just eat a Popsicle?”. D’oh. And who has NO dead skin anywhere on their lips? It’s almost impossible.

      I don’t! lol I use a clean washcloth to gently scrub my lips everyday in the shower, at the very end of my shower. I forgot once and hello flakes!

    I said that they’re okay. I find that some are gorgeous, but the big problem is that they make my lips so dry. I like Benefit’s Benetint and MAC’s Loving Touch :D

    I love them, but I don’t wear them alone, I wear them under lipstick or lipgloss so that if that wears off, there will still be color underneath.

    I just bought my first lipstain from Sephora the other day. I got TheBalm Staniac in Homecoming Queen. I am really a lipgloss/lustreglass type of girl, but I’ll try anything once. I hope I like it.

      I have been thinking about getting this shade too. If you see this comment let me know what you think after you get it! I find a lot of ones that claim to be ‘peach’ to show up very brown-ish and weird. Good luck!

    With lip stains it’s a hit or miss. Some companies excel at them and other fall short. I love the cover girl outlast lip stains but hate the urban decay stains. I’m always up for giving them a try though.

    They’re ok, I just find that I have to exfoliate my lips a lot to use it. I’ve tried the ones from MAC, they’re great for layering under lipglass and dazzleglass.

    I like it especially when I need a lip color that needs to be stayed on all day. Also it cuts out carrying both lipstick and lipgloss in my small baa. My favorite combo is Benetint and Goldyrocks d/s! Gold pearls really POP.

    I do for traveling and for swimming in summer. I love Benetint since it allows me to carry less when I travel – it of my lips and cheeks and an eyeshadow for a wash. Easy to go :)

      It’s a stain that stays on your lips for a long time, stains them so you can eat and drink and it still would be on your lips. Usually it is rosy/sheer red or pink. HTH.

    i love them, but as a person who tends to bite the skin on my lips, i always have a lot of dry skin on my lips, and that + lip stain, gives me really dark spots where it soaks into the dry skin.
    one day i will have perfect soft lips and can rock the lip stains. haha

    I love layering the clear-red MAC See Thru Lip Color under any shade of red (bright or dark) and it makes the lipstick last all day without any touch-up/bleeding. Also I find it makes the lipstick follow the lines of my mouth perfectly without a lip brush or liner etc.
