Thanks for the heads up, Carrie I will have to try this!

Yeah, it does help it to last longer. Darn it, now I can’t remember the exact order in which I layer it…I think I kind of brush/mix the stain and the lipstick together.

I know the last time I wore that kind of combo, I was wearing red lipstick through a meal and it really helped the color last. Less ended up on the rim of my glass and more stayed on my lips. At the end of the meal I was like, “oh, time for a touch-up…wait, no, it’s not necessary!”

Hey Carrie! I agree, the lasting power is definitely longer than a regular lipstick. When you layer, does it extend the wearing time?

Hey Sal! I have not, though I’ve seen them – there’s something about paying $9+ for a drugstore lip product that gets me, lol.

I have the Laura Mercier lip stain in Mulberry and it is a bit stain-like, I think. While not a true stain, it definitely lasts longer on me than regular lipsticks and balms. I like layering it with other red/plum lipsticks and glosses. Too bad I don’t like any of the other colors it comes in, though, or I would pick up more of these!

Christine, have you tried Revlon’s Just Bitten lip stains? They’ve been around for awhile already, though they’re apparently limited edition.
Those are the most pigmented lip stains I have EVER tried. I’ve got really, really, REALLY dark lips and they still show. So you might wanna try em.
Quote the boyfriend “Have you been chewing your lips? no? They look.. I dunno.. bitten or something”.
