I purchased this Lip Stain from Maybelline in the colour Cherry Pie for £8. I love Maybelline products and haven't been disappointed with anything from them yet, therefore I thought this was a gorgeous colour and would go with my celebrity Lauren Conrad look here. However the lipstain just about lasted 24 seconds before it started to separate on my lips and just looked awful.
Before starting I used a Lush lip scrub (the bubblegum one which tastes amazing.) Then used the colour wand as instructed.
Then after letting it dry slightly, which I think may be what caused it to crack, applied the lip balm that came with it.
Now I didn't want to dismiss this product after just one usage so I tried it again today. I even used a Bourjis Lip Contour too to see if that helped it stayed put, but it didn't. Overall I would give this product a 1/10. In my opinion it is really not the worth the money and creates a lot of mess getting it off. (If you do buy a Lip Stain make sure you have a make up remover with oil in to get it off.)
I know these aren't the best photographs but I hope you can see what I mean.
I would love to know what your experiences with Lip Stains have been like? Am I doing something stupidly wrong?

I have tried a Maybelline Colour Sensation one in December and it's a lovely colour when it is first applied, but after about ten minutes it cracks and rubs off noticeably on the inside of the lip - definitely prefer lipstick! xxx

I got another kind of lipstain pen from Maybelline and it dried up after only wearing it twice! I was so annoyed! I've also tried the Maxfactor ones and these work MUCH better so myabe it's just Maybelline? Gillian x
ReplyDeleteOo I might go and try a Max Factor one then and see how it compares.
DeleteThank you :)
