A couple months ago I ordered some things from Sephora and I received a trio sample of glossy stains.
I don't remember which one I tried but it was a vibrant red and I adored how it looked and that it left a beautiful red stain. The consistency is a little heavy but very creamy.
This month I decided to splurge on one however I went with a nude colour because I don't wear red very often however I was very disappointed in the sheer uneven colour. When swatched on my hand it looks lovely but on my lips it's a hot mess.
Overall I like the concept of these and the fruity smell however they can be drying after a bit and some work lovely and others don't. I will be returning the one I bought and I don't know if I will repurchase another. I love how they stain and apply however my lips have been so dry and I just don't think these will work well for me at the moment. I find they can get a tad bit drying as the colour fades.
I'm rating the glossy stains 6.5 out of 10. With such a high price tag of $36CAN. I expect more out of these. I prefer the Maybelline Elixers which are about 8CAN. They have a nicer more creamy moisturizing texture, richer pigmentation and they have a nice shade collection. I know l'oreal has released something similar to the two however I have yet to try those.
I hope you found this review helpful. I want to review the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine next so that may be my next post I'm not sure. I also want to post my January favourites so we'll see :)
BTW I UPDATED MY SEPHORA OILS REVIEW SO GO BACK AND CHECK IT OUT :)
