Swatches | Sephora Cream Lip Stains + Video

I'm quietly moving away from lipsticks and becoming an adoring fan of the long-wearing. long-lasting lip stain world.  Probably sometime in the near future  I will have all  my 100+ lipsticks up for sale in my Poshmark Closet.  However, until that happens, they will remain tucked away in my lipstick drawer until further notice.  My first foray into lip stains was actually last year when I picked up a package of lip tints from Costco's.  The brand was from Pati Dubroff and they were called Aqua Tint Lip Glosses.  They were very wet but dried matte with a slightly gloss finish.

Fast forward to all the brands that has jumped on the bandwagon (except for MAC), these lip stains are becoming the new go-to items for their long wearing staying power.  This year Sephora upgraded their Lip Stain collection with these new cream lip stains that goes on matte and dries matte without budging.  In the video I rubbed all the swatches and they didn't transfer at all.  These cream lip stains have the staying power of up to 2hrs without budging.

The only color that wasn't suitable to my complexion was 04 Coral Crush.  It just didn't blend out well on my lips for some reason.  All the other colors were very blendable and complimented my brown skin quite exquisitely.  Since it was hard for me to find swatches on brown skin, I had to choose the colors that I thought were suitable.  I do plan on ordering a few more that I liked that were out of stock to complete my collection of these remarkable cream lip stains.
