LIP VB Hydrating Gloss Stain – Lip Tint Gloss with 12HR Hydration Long-Lasting Moisture & Shine, Smooth Lip Stain with Glossy Finish, Non-Sticky, Rich Color for All Skin Tones (#1 HYDRA HONEY, 1)

This is a nice two-fer product that goes on as a gloss but has the lasting effect of being a lip stain once the gloss wears off. I chose this lip gloss in the color called Hydra Honey and it is a brownish-reddish-orangish color that goes on fairly thick and dark as a gloss, but mellows to a much more natural color as a stain. I use a light touch when applying, as the color is more saturated than the usual glosses I am accustomed to, which makes sense since part of this product's appeal is its staining effect. As a gloss it lasts pretty well, but of course that will depend upon how much you are eating, drinking, talking and licking your lips while wearing it. The longer you can leave it undisturbed on your lips, of course the longer the gloss effect will last, but also the more effectively it will be able to stain your lips. It also helps the stain do its job if you apply this to clean lips as opposed to applying it over lip balm which could act as a physical block to prevent your lips from absorbing stain. This lip gloss has a high end look and feel, and it feels very smooth and hydrating. I do like that they hydrating effect lasts very well. Even after the gloss wears off, my lips still feel smooth and nice. I like the natural tone of the Hydra Honey shade, since it is not bright pink or purple but more of a warm realistic lip color, especially in its stain form.

The color of this lip stain (Hydra Honey) is nice and the bottle/applicator is of a good quality. I had challenges with it going on "streaky," which was fixed by applying even more lip stain. I appreciate that it's liquid rather than being waxy like lipstick, which also results in me "eating" less of it off my lips during the day. However, it never really sets and will absolutely come off on clothing, etc. that happens to touch it. Be cautious. The color itself lasted about an hour before it was gone and I needed to reapply, although the "hydrated" feeling lasted a long time even after the color faded.

Too oily and it is not a lip stain.

Just okay, it does wear off after drinking and eating. Otherwise, the color is nice.

I have seen similar types of lip gloss to stain products that I've been wanting to try so I decided to try out this product that had a better price. It has a great consistency which feels luxe and hydrating on the lips. It is very smooth on the lips and exactly as described. I would say that the color I chose ('Hydra Honey') is slightly brighter than I had expected but still a very pretty shade. The stain appears after wearing it for a longer period of time, as opposed to other products which stain after wearing them for just a few minutes. The stain looks very natural which I like. Overall, this is a nice product and I would recommend it!

I don’t recommend it. It’s supposed to be lip tint. It’s very sticky and it don’t at leave any tint after wiping it off. at least for me it didn’t work.

Thick and sticky, this lipgloss provides excellent coverage. I had slight bleeding, but not too significant. Dried well and stayed on all night. It did not tint my lips in the morning, however, which I liked very much. I also like the "tube." Nice tight seal and was great to slip into my pocket, though I didn't need to re-apply.

It only stays on the lips for a short time
