Best lip stain I have ever used; last forever and doesn't dry out lips I have used a number of lip stains; Urban Decay, Liptini, and Liptini Shimmering. This is my favorite of the bunch. I bought this in the Teasing Blush color. Pros: - Teasing Blush gives your lips a very natural pink-red flushed color; not bright and artificial like Urban Decay's Greedy. - Lasts forever; seriously I put this on yesterday morning and my lips still had some color on this morning. - Lip pen; a bit easier to apply and get even than the liquids. - Moisturizing; this is the first stain I have used that doesn't completely dry out my lips - Wears off nicely; both Urban Decay and Liptini Shimmering looked patchy and balled up as they wore off. This stain wears off evenly so it looks good even as the color fades. - Cheap; I couldn't believe this lipstain works as good as it has! It is so much cheaper than others out there. - Nice smell to it. All the liptini stains smell a bit yucky; this stain smells like cherry-vanilla. - Easy to get even. I didn't have to exfoliate my lips beforehand to get a nice even look. Cons: - It is a lip pen; so I am not sure how long it will last. Still if it works this nice; I am willing to buy a new one once a month especially at $6 a pop. Overall I really, really like this stain. I usually put lip gloss over it to give it some shine. My favorite stain by far. found it when reading about a test on lip stains in Elle magazIne I am a big fan of lip stains. First, they are the longest lasting way of adding color to your lips that wont rub off...even when wiping with a napkin. Lipstick is quite outdated in comparison when you have a busy day or night and want STAYING color. Second, no smears no gunk Third, it replaced my lipliner. Because lipstains go on like a magic marker, you can easily outline your lips perfectly and then fill them in. But...I tried various brands and then read that this one, according to an Elle magazine test, lasted longer than the other pens on the market. But I don't believe all marketing til I try it. This is now my new favorite. I like this color in comparison to many other lipstains because so many are vividly bright red or pink and the cinnamon is a more subtle color. I had a few other brands and other colors but wound up with this as my "go to"...great for lining and filling in. Lasted longest...I concur. Although it's not really a negative, I think I'd grown used to the thinner longer tubes and this is thicker and shorter. Not a big deal and probably, in all honesty, it's easier to apply that way...but it doesn't fit as well in my jammed make up case so if I HAD to come up with a negative that's all I can think of. Conclusion: great color that isn't overpowering and seems to work well for many, lasts longest, simple to apply, great liner and lip color combo in one. Will Not Buy Again This is basically a lip marker. An okay idea, except it tends to apply unevenly and I could never seem to correct it to my satisfaction. Also, the marker dries out very quickly.
