I have heard so many good things about the Sephora cream lip stains yet I remained skeptical. Sephora is also hard to get from the UK which is annoying as the rest of Europe and probably the world has Sephora everywhere. So when I am on holiday and I spotted a Sephora which is just a few steps from my hotel door, I had my fingers crossed that they available stock for the shades that I am after.
The Sephora Cream Lip Stains are packaged in a clear tube with black cap. It has a silver marking of the brand at the cap. There's nothing special really about the packaging but it's the inside that counts right? (says the person who is addicted to beautiful packaging) The Sephora cream lip stain has a brush paddle applicator. The applicator is soft and the right size to apply the lip stain throughout the lips and even on the small corners of the mouth. The applicator helps with precision application. The main selling point of this lip stain is the product itself. When applied, the lip stained comes as thick and velvety. It is easy to blend and even out. It also dries quiet fast so you need to blend it out immediately. Once it dries up, it has a matte finish but it feels incredibly matte on the lips. As it has a matte finish, my biggest worry was I might end up having a really parched lip. The Sephora Cream Lip Stain despite that it is matte doesn't dry the lips at all which is a great relief. It has avocado oil in its ingredients which helps with lips hydration. The pigmentation of the lip stain is also very good. It is very pigmented and usually one coat is enough to give a full pigmentation. With bold lips, my greatest worry is it easily transfers. The Sephora lip stains only transfers minimally and after a three course meal, it is still there. The lip stain's staying power is really good. It lasts for more than 8 hours before fading into a nice stain. Even if it stays really well, you can remove it with your trusty micellar water after a few tries. From the range, I had the 01 Always Red (matte bold classic red) and 03 Strawberry Kissed ( matte bright pinky red)

Overall, the Sephora Cream Lip Stain has been really impressive. Have you tried the Sephora Lip Stains before? What are your thoughts about it?

I have that same feeling before Katina until I found some formula that suits me. Not all matte lipsticks suit me, only a few ones does. Xx
DeleteThe red lip stain is my perfect red. It stays on and on and on. It shoulnd't be named lip stained as it does more than staining the lips. It gives serious pigmentation
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. It's pigmentation is awesome. Xx
