Lip Gloss and Lip Stain, Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain, Up to 12 Hour Hydration, High Pigment, Wet Shine Finish, Shade: Drippin' In Rose

Best value for money lip stain I've seen on the market- lots of product Note that colour is incredibly pigmented, rather than neutral, so ensure you pick the right colour before purchasing as does come out quite dark, particularly if lighter skinned like me. Admittedly I've found this can be mitigated by using a small amount and wiping off the residue after use. The stain lasts hours! And every time I go out, I receive compliments- the colour lasts all night with no budge after drying- would be perfect for clubbing, partying etc. alongside everyday use. So little need of a reapplication unless preference is for bold colour, which can easily be achieved through layering Texture is fairly thick, but glossy- a perfect middle ground, though due to amount of product, application could be messy Overall love this product but do wish there were some more neutral/subtle shades added to collection

Moisturising and not sticky. Lovely natural colour and stays in well.

Couldn't quite give this a 5 star as it requires a lot of waiting and most times requires an additional layer to really see the difference. That being said, it does work and gives a nice subtle stain. I find most lip stains give a pinky stain and don't quite match their colour (the same can be said for the expensive ones). I don't know if that's something to do with my skin, though. When adding lip gloss the colour does pop! I've given a before and after photo. This is after 2 applications. First application was on for 20mins before wiping off, the second was on for 10mins. For those who like vibrant, loud, shiny lips, there is the added bonus of being able to wear this as a gloss without having to wipe the shine off. You can apply this and wear it as is and it'll leave you with the stain after the gloss wears off. My only issue with that is that the shiny gloss will transfer and, with it being a stain, I'd constantly be wary of how it might stain. But that's not an issue for me as I don't like thick bold layers on my lips, so the subtle stain is fine. I have all brands of stains (the "viral" Wonder one, Smooche, Sacheu, Beauty Crop). I have 3 of these NYX ones and, honestly, I would rate these as one of the lowest (on par with Beauty Crop), although Wonder is only scoring higher because it takes 2mins to stain, not 20! I actually don't rate the Wonder one much at all. These are still great stains, and ideal if you don't want to spend loads: - they stain - they last (although not as long as more expensive brands) - easy to apply - nice colours - pops with gloss - compact size for the handbag - doesn't dry out lips as much as others (Sacheu scores top marks for moisturising quality. Most stains do dry out lips. TIP: apply plain lip balm, after 10mins wipe off any excess balm and apply stain) Main con: wait time is too long to get a decent stain

Great product purchased on a tiktok recommendation. Texture, coverage and colour are amazing, buildable and long lasting.

I’m really impressed with this NYX lip gloss. The formula is smooth, lightweight, and feels surprisingly comfortable on the lips without any stickiness. The colour payoff is lovely — glossy with just the right amount of pigment — and it gives a fresh, plump look that works for both everyday wear and going out. It applies evenly, doesn’t settle into lines, and keeps the lips feeling hydrated throughout the day. The gloss also layers well over lipstick without disturbing it, which is a big bonus. The scent is subtle and pleasant, and the applicator makes it easy to get a clean, even finish. Overall, it’s a great quality gloss at a really good price. Shiny, comfortable, and flattering — definitely one I’ll keep using.

Unfortunately the shade I got (cocoa quench) looks really unnaturally orange on my skin :( (I'm pale olive, maybe it's nicer on other tones) However, it doesn't feel too heavy which is nice as I don't like the feel of lipgloss. The stain is actually really pretty but not at all the colour of the gloss, it's more a natural lip colour and the longer it's left on the more pigmented the stain. The stain holds pretty well once on so I think this product is just good for putting on at home in the morning just for the stain and taking off before you leave, but maybe it's prettier in other colours. Overall really sad that this didn't work as I hoped, the gloss colour is just horrible on me.

Love this lip stain! I used it for both my lips and as blush, it lasts all day. Can either be applied as gloss or wipe off for a more matted lip stain for a natural coverage. A slight plumping effect, but nothing too strong!

I have shiny, oily skin, so usually avoid lip glosses like the plague. However, I was desperate to find a decent lip stain that didn't cost £18+, so gave this a go. I bought the shade 'Drippin' in Rose', and it is genuinely fantastic! I am a complete convert and about to order some more colours to try. The gloss is actually lovely, smells nice, not sticky - more like a shiny cream finish, and really moisturising. I am a lip balm addict normally, but haven't used any AT ALL since starting to wear this! If applied liberally and left on for a bit, it happily wears/wipes down to a beautiful and very long lasting stain, that touches up really easily if you have eaten and drunk a lot. The second photo is after several hours of eating and drinking normally, and I don't even think the photo does it justice.
