Don't waste your time using it or money buying it.

This came with rave reviews so I opted to try it. I found it difficult to apply with the brush and because it's so thin. After drying, my lips felt super dry. I tried to correct with a bit of balm but couldn't find a comfort zone. I ended up tossing it aside for another lip product. I've given it to other friends to try out and many have said the same.

Nice stain but doesn't last long

I got to try the violet lip stain. It's very watery, so it goes on easy. Once it dries, it was a nice shade of dark pink/light purple on me; it kind of felt like what your lips look like after drinking the red Kool Aid. I liked the look because it was subtle colour and flattering. Unfortunately, after drinking coffee, the stain was gone - so you would need to re-apply after eating/drinking.

not a fan!

i’m a big fan of lipsticks and I tried this brand and this product for the first time, and to be honest i didn’t really like it. the applicator is too big and the product is too sticky (like a lipgloss) but its also mate. it’s a weird combination of both and i don’t think i’ll use it again.

Decent lipstain

I was excited to try this lip stain. I got the violet water and love the colour. However application was not the easiest. The applicator could be a much better design. I also found it difficult to apply it evenly.

Sticky and Too Expensive

I received this in Shade 01 Rose Water. I have fair skin so this was the best match for me of the options provided. I expect a lot from Clarins because of the high price point. This product did not live up to my expectations. I found the application sticky and messy. It is hard to apply it accurately with the brush. I also didn't like the idea of saliva getting back into the bottle because of the very thin consistency. The colour it provides is light and would be nice for a low-key day but it definitely doesn't give any wow factor.

Popsicle lips.Applicator not great.

I received the Clarins water lip stain for free from Chickadvisor event goodie bag in the colour rose water. I love the colour but the applicater of the lip stain is like a soft bristle brush which is not suitable to apply the product as it holds too much product and its difficult to line the lips.
As it is a stain its a long lasting lip wear and hard to take off.
Overall i realized lip stains are not my this.

Stained lips

I received the rose water stain. Thought it sounded like a good idea until I tried it. It has a nice taste but a little runnier than expected. When it dried it looked like you had finished having red lips from a popsicle.

The stain lasts long time. I found it messy as it went over my lips and on to my skin which was difficult to remove. It was not a product I would use
I do not think I would recommend it to others

Not my favourite.

The colour I got is called Rose and I didn't know it would be as bright as it is. I found it felt dry shortly after application. I'd need to wear a lip balm on top of it. The smell is great, similar to a candy. The bottle is cute and is a good size for a purse or pocket. However, I wouldn't purchase this product because I prefer a glossy finish.

Looks nice but doesn’t last

I’m not a lipstick person so if I want to do my lips I lean towards a stain since it’s low maintenance. The colour is really pretty and it smells good, however it does not last. I wore this to work a few days and it was worn out completely by the end of my shift without even eating. If your looking for a cute colour they you may have to reapply though then this is good.
