I have several shades of this lipstick and I love them so much. So why am I giving this just one star? Because of the shade inconsistency. It is not the first time that I realize a huge difference between the advertised shade and the real one. There are plenty of reviews highlighting this issue. I loved my 140 Pink Tea, and now it is a grayish color that I wouldn’t purchase. The lipstick I received has NOTHING to do with the advertised one. You can see already a big inconsistency between the lipstick picture and the lip swatch within Sephora’s website. But look at my pictures! It is completely grey and very dark! It has nothing to with how it looks in other reviewers either. There is something very wrong with Sephora’s lipsticks leaning too grey lately and not as ...

I won’t return it because it is too much trouble and hassle, but I don’t see myself using this shade ever (unless I am able to successfully mix it with others) It is sad because I LOVE the formula, so lightweight and pigmented. But I can’t trust purchasing their lipstick online anymore.... Show more

A jack of all trades every day all day liquid lip
So I really love the formula of this lip stain. An employee of mine said she found the holy grail of liquid lipstick and after having bad results with several other brands I was skeptical but bought a few based on how excited she was. The formula is truly special, it fixes everything I hate about other brands to create an all day every day product. Is it perfect? No but it's close in all the ways I need it to be. It doesn't last as long as the ones that dry out my lips and make them feel sandy but it lasts enough one touch up application late afternoon is all I need. It doesn't dry as fast as others and transfer remains possible slightly longer than some but again this allows easy clean up if you mess up applying and the faster drying ones make my lips cracked, dry, ...

It doesn't dry as fast as others and transfer remains possible slightly longer than some but again this allows easy clean up if you mess up applying and the faster drying ones make my lips cracked, dry, and gross and mistakes cause stains on my skin. You don't need to go crazy making sure it goes on thin. I kiss my husband good bye daily and he doesn't end up wearing it or smudging it. I'll sacrifice faster drying and some staying power for a lipstick that feels wonderful on my lips all day long and is forgiving in application. Like most liquid lips if you apply a gloss/balm over it, you're gonna ruin the staying power, same with greasy or oil foods that will make it run so just be careful or eat healthier! My only complaint is the color identities. The online photos aren't great, I've bought some that were too dark or too light in person despite looking just right online. I also noticed the inconsistency in colors one of my faves Rose Redux I've side by side compared and the color from one to the next is slightly off. This is also a petty complaint, but I hate that after you remove the plastic the color name is no where on the tube. Makes it impossible to easily remember which is which or quickly buy a replacement since you can't rely on the online photos Otherwise though very impressive product especially for the price, not sure if its quite holy grail but it's the closest I've seen to perfect yet...

Beautiful shade, but not transfer proof
I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador of the shade Marvelous Mauve, which I received as part of a gratis package.WHAT I LIKE:* Intensely pigmented color - the shade marvelous mauve is gorgeous* Easy to apply* Creamy upon application* No liner needed - color does not run, bleed, feather or pill* Wears comfortably - but this particular shade also felt a smidge more drying than others in the line* Dries down without feeling tight (but this shade dried down slower than others in the range - not sure if it's just this shade or because my lips may be more dry than when I've worn other colors from this line)AREA(S) FOR IMPROVEMENT:* Not transfer proof - this isn't really a deal breaker for me as I prefer ...

That said, it is a gorgeous color!* Like the other shade I received as gratis (01 Always Red), this one also faded fairly quickly after my meal, but because this shade is closer to the color of my naturally more pigmented lips, the wear down was less noticeable on me, which also makes this not being completely transfer proof fine with me.BUY, BUY, BUY 🛍 or BYE-BYE 👋?:* There's a lot of product in the tube so I don't foresee finishing it soon. That said, this is a beautiful shade and one I would happily BUY, BUY, BUY. 🛍* Highly recommend 👍... Show more

Gorgeous red color, but wish it wore longer
I have a couple of these liquid lipstains in my collection and was excited when I received the shade Always Red as part of a gratis package. This is my honest & authentic opinion as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.WHAT I LIKE:* Creamy formula on application - allows product to glide easily across lips* Quick & smooth dry down* Sets without leaving lips feeling tight or dry* Rich, pigmented color - I used one swipe on my bottom lip and pressed my lips together for color on my upper lip.* Demi-matte finish* Extensive color range of red shades - I'm scared of reds but there are other reds that I'd be interested in trying from this range* Wore comfortably* Holds up fairly well and lasts for a good amount of time (but see below)* Did not run, ...

I love it!!
For reference I am in my mid 40s and so have wrinkly lips. I like matte finishes and I already own several SC lip stain lipsticks because I really like the formula.PROS:- Lightweight formula: it feels light on my lips.- Not too drying: I find this formula less drying than other matte liquid lipsticks I own, feeling comfortable for most of the day.- It doesn’t transfer: if I apply it over clean dry lips, and let it dry, it doesn’t transfer and stays on, but it will feel more drying along the day.CONS:- There is nothing I don’t like about this lip stain, but you should check the shades in store if possible because I have had issues in the past with some big shade inconsistencies.

Long wearing, but not kiss/smudge proof
I ran out of my usual red LipSense liquid lipsticks, so I decided to give this Sephora liquid lipstick a try after reading some of the reviews.Electric ruby, which I guess is now called Red Velvet? Is the perfect color red that matches well with my skin tone. I get a ton of compliments whenever I wear it.The formula is not drying and is quite comfortable to wear for a long period of time. The only reason why I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars is that it’s not smudge or kiss proof. After reading a review saying that it’s mask proof, I ordered it and tried it out for myself. Unfortunately, the lipstick smudged all around the inside of my mask and some of my face. Whenever I eat or drink, it does come off on my cups, straws, food, and even on my upper chin.

Matte but not drying
The consistency of the liquid lipstick is quiet thin and mousse like. It has a mild sweet chemically scent but disappears as soon as the lipstick is dry and sets. On application it goes on creamy and smooth on the lips and does not smudge. It dries quickly and sets into a smudge-proof matte finish. The feel after it has dried is like velvet and light weight on the lips. It is transfer-proof although we see very light traces on the glass. It provides perfect amount of hydration without feeling dry – thanks to the avocado oil present in it. The lasting power is great, like 6-7 hours. However , the insides of the lips wears off a little after meal. It is easy to touch up and stays on the lips without crumbling or flaking.... Show more

pretty ok cream lip stain :)
I guess as a disclaimer: I bought this twice, both as gifts - one for my girlfriend, who had it used on her when her and I got our makeovers at Sephora in Tempe, and one for my mom who fell in love with the Black Cherry color after seeing the pictures my girlfriend and I took after said makeover. I can't say any of my own opinions on it, but they can:My girlfriend said that it didn't taste like anything, and that it felt as though nothing was there. It lasted pretty much all day for her without needing to put it on again. The lip stain can be a bit of a pain to remove, and it can be pretty difficult for her to apply it evenly and can be really messy if you're not careful (that being said, she is very new to makeup) but overall she really likes it.My mom really ...

The Best Liquid Lipstick
I have never repurchased a lipstick before I started using this. In fact my last purchase was probably my 4th or 5th tube. First let's talk about the colour, this is the most perfect red on me, it's not too blue, not too orange and certainly not too dark. It's the perfect for any occasion and I usually get compliments when I wear it. I feel like it's the kind of red that puts a glow on your face, even if it's the only makeup you wear. Secondly, the formula, I used to be wary of liquid lipsticks as I find that most of them are too drying and can make lips look and feel awful as they'd be peeling, cracking or just generally feel uncomfortable. Not this one though, yes it still has a matte finish but it's one that's comfortable and in me doesn't peel, crack or ... MoreI have never repurchased a lipstick before I started using this.
