I purchased this lip stain in order to stain my lips but i found it way too pigmented for my own taste, and the color is for sure not something my boyfriend likes

497 Rock On Ruby - Love the colour! Goes on smoothly, but really dries out the lips. And I feel like I'm reapplying every hour or so. Not the best quality. But you can't beat the price.

These lip stains are surprisingly good. They are quite pigmented and are easy to apply. The felt tip pen makes lining and filling in your lips fast and simple. As far as being smooch proof, they do transfer but very minimally. I can't see it lasting for 16hrs unless you don't kiss, eat or drink. I took a sip of water and it washed away.

I bought a more expensive lip stain (using some reward points) and then found NYC Lip Stain at a fraction of the price but with more durability and more colours. My only regret is that I just bought one at the time and have been too busy to pick up SEVERAL more ... will just have to make the time!

I found these at the drug store and the price tag was what made me want to give them a shot. I figured if I was only paying under $5 for a lip stain it was worth a shot, if they turned out to be horrible then at least I didn't waste a lot of money on them. Well let me tell you! They turned out to be some of the best lip stains I have ever used in my life! They stay on for a very long time! I do find they can be drying but they aren't that uncomfortable type of drying feeling that some cheaper lip stains give you. I would highly recommend these stains!

My friend gave me the tangerine colour a couple weeks ago and I became super obsessed with it. The colour goes on nicely and lasts quite well. I've used lots of lip stains before, and this one is by far the best - great price and awesome product!

Already picked up another shade!

This is my favorite lip stain that I have ever tried. I love how long it lasts as well as the various colors available.

Not as long lasting as advertised
product gets dry quickly
overall it is OK

I love the color and it stains your lips for a while

Looks great for the first few seconds, then as it settles into your lips it becomes much less vibrant and eventually disappears. No instructions on the actual product, e.g. stay away from liquids for 30 minutes, or anything like that. This product DOES NOT last 16 hours as the product says it does. Also when reapplying because the colour disappeared, the product takes a bit for more of the lip stain to make its way down to the applicator.
