SEPHORA COLLECTION Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick 12 African Violet

This is my new FAVORITE color, and Sephora brand stays on a very long time!!

I have used this lip stain for about 4 years. The color goes with anything you wear and it goes on and doesn’trun into those awful lines you have when you age. I’m 77 and I have always told my daughters, “Don’t go out without putting your lip stick on.”

10/10 lipstick. I got the black shade for my ren faire costume and it stayed on all day with zero transfer (thats with eating and drinking) and it didn’t smudge. It did “bleed” a smidge on my upper lip near the end of the 8 hour day, but I think with a lip liner, that could be fixed. I also should have double set it with powder. I only set it once. But thats ok.

I really like this color and the matte appearance, as I'm pushing 50 and glossy lipstick looks ridiculous on me. I, too, was disappointed that it didn't last longer, and I also didn't bring it to work with me because I thought it would make it through the 8 hours. After only cup of coffee my lip started showing through. I had used Cover Girl Outlast for years, which lasted the whole day, but recently it started making my lips really dry. This lipstick did not dry my lips out. I didn't mind paying this higher price because I thought it would look fresh through the day, but finding out that it was half the price in the store left me more than a little sour when I came home and had a red line on my top lip and a red line on my bottom lip, and nothing in between. I am going to try adding a lip primer and see if that increases its longevity. If anyone else has tried a lip primer and found it to work please comment on my post.

I love the consistency of these cream lip colors. They are so easy to apply since the consistency is thinner and smooth. Only needs one application. Lasts for a good while, just have to touch up the center of my lips after eating.

false advertising. why is this called a lip stain when it is literally just regular lipstick? and not even a long lasting one. had it on for 30 minutes before i started drinking some water and it immediately all started coming off in the middle with just the outside of the lips remaining after i finished my drink. you can take it off very easily with just a cloth don't even need micellar water. a lip stain is supposed to STAIN the lips. :/

This is amazing lipstick/stain. Its sort of a combo of both and it lasts for a long time but is still rather easy to remove when its time. Ill just say that this helped me get noticed by the intended target and I have worn it several times and received many, many compliments.

Love this product, looks good and is easy to apply and remove.
