e.l.f. Studio Lip Stains
e.l.f. Studio Lip Stains promise long lasting color with the option of a clear gloss topper. All stains are two ended.
The nice thing about the gloss is it can be removed if you'd rather just have the stain in your purse or pocket and they cover nicely with regular balm or chapstick. Lipglosses, including the one they give you, tends to remove the color in patches and ball up on your lips. Not pleasant.
I've swatched them in groups of four just for comparison sake. Four are nude browns, one with shimmer. The other four are pinks and a red, one with shimmer.
Mysterious, Bombshell, Heartbreaker, Lucky Lady
You can't really see it in the swatches, but Bombshell has a fine golden shimmer and Mysterious has a chunkier silver glitter.
And the fun ones!
Red Carpet, Fashionista, First Date, Birthday Suit
(I wish Birthday Suit had been a nude color, would have
a little cheeky! No pun intended.)
Fashionista has a fine shimmer, the rest are cremes.
I've worn a few of these and they definitely aren't stains. They feel more like a long lasting lipstick. Remember the original Cover Girl long lasting lipsticks? Same thing! I prefer to wear them alone because most glosses tend to make them ball up and remove the color.
So far my favorite are Red Carpet and Heartbreaker. I wear Heartbreaker almost daily, but I've noticed the nudes are almost identical on the lips.
As I do lip swatches, I'll add them here for reference. Any color requests?
