A Review for Sephora Cream Lip Stains!

Hello all!! I hope you are all well and it's going to be a lovely week for you! My laptop is sadly still not back, so I'm coming to you via my phone! Sad!

I recommended these lip products to my good friend and fellow blogger Nina mou, Nina's Blog , please check her out!! She's fabulous!! Annnnd she wanted to see some a look with the lippys, so who am I to disappoint!??!? I will wear them with eye makeup tomorrow... today is my "off day" and I'm just running errands and getting my daughter from school, so just eyeliner and mascara today for the eyes...

ON TO THE LIPS!!

First up is Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 04 Everlasting Purple




Second is Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 10 Everlasting Burgundy




Now, I'm not sure why these both are having such a "pink" tinge on my skin in the pics, b/c they are not at all in real life. These were taken in natural light, no flash.

What I like about these stains :
1. Cheap! I paid $10 each and that's a steal for these!
2. The color in the tube is the color you get!
3. Very pigmented
4. Pretty good staying power, a good 4 hours!
5. Not drying at all for a stain! (which is hard to find!)

What I don't like about these stains :
1. Color range is pretty bleh
2. I wish they stayed longer for a stain
3. I find the smell is a little annoying
4. They slide after eating and drinking

Overall I am very happy with these! I can deal with the negatives, that doesn't bother me enough to throw them out!

So, will you be picking these up?

                                                                Thanks for taking a look!
                                                                          ♥ Holly
