stila Calligraphy Lip Stain | Long-Lasting Tint, Moisturizing, Transfer-Proof, Lightweight, Sheer Buildable Color, Fades to a Natural Wash of Color | Alexandria, 22 Fl. Oz.

This is a GREAT matt lip stain that lasts for hours and doesn't bleed. However, the colour choices are woefully inadequate and the colour I chose online was waaaay pinker than I wanted, so it it sadly returned. Stila, please come up with some less disco colours!

Came quickly. Packaged in a sealed plastic. Colour is really pretty, bright and fresh for spring/summer. The stain goes on easily. And remained on all day. Does not bleed, wipe off or get on teeth. I wore a gloss on top for shine. I will be buying other colours.

One of the best lip stains I’ve encounter on my search for the longest wearing. Stays on a good 6hrs. Can add extra layers for deeper colour.

This lip stain does last a long time, but at the price of all moisture that once resided in your lips. Also, don't count on the pigment lasting longest on the parts you want it. Instead it will mostly last around the sides and you will have to make the hard choice of walking around with lipliner lips or reapplying and starting the cycle all over again. Additionally, the one I ordered was a pretty color, but not the color it advertised itself as.

This worked pretty well at first but there was hardly any product in the pen. It was empty after a few uses.
