I picked up two colours of this product for $4.97 CAD each.  Persistent Pink is a light bubblegum pink colour and Champagne Stain is a dark rose colour.  These lip stains have marker tips and feel very rough on the lips when applying.


I find that they are very difficult to apply and when you try to build the colour it actually lifts instead.  Both colours are extremely drying and when I applied something to moisturize, it took the colour off.  The colour comes off easily with water as shown above.  A very slight pink hue will remain, but not enough to be very noticeable.  I’ve tried to use them for “Popsicle” lips, but the staying power just wasn’t there for me.  I’m often surprised when something in a brand’s regular line performs so badly but is still being carried.  I think it must work for some people, just not me.
