First things first, I haven't tried a lip stain before, and after trying the Revlon ones, I'm tempted to try others! I have 'Lovesick' and its a very pigmented, gorgeous shade of pink. I didn't think I would like it as I tend to wear reds or purples, but I LOVE this stuff. It glides on smoothly, and the crayon like tube fits in the hand perfectly so you can easily apply a smooth lining to your lips.
The only thing I don't like about this product is that after a while it feathers and smudges outwards, and because its a stain it looks terrible. That, and the weird 'mint' smell it has to it - its not a smell I've ever smelled before, and its mildly unpleasant. I also slid the entire tube to the top to see how much product was actually in the tube, and its about the length of the lid, rather than the tube itself. Feeling a little ripped off, but it seems like it will last a long time, so the feeling goes away quickly.
I would repurchase this, but after seeing the price in the description, maybe not! I'll finish the one I have first ;-p
I have darker lips and sometimes its a bit hard to see the colour I apply on them but these little beauties have fantastic colour pay-off.
I have tried the red in matte (not my shade unfortunately) but the red-brown shade called Adore suits my southeast asian olive skin quite well. This is my shade for work.
It last about 3-4 hours. My lips are quite dry so I normally layer it with a gloss.
