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 (#6 WATER BOUT WINE, 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 stain leans a bit pink (does not stain true to the color when originally applied) but is still a great dupe overall for the price! Peripera ink mood glowy tint still ranks supreme but they just don’t have a brick red!

This lip tint is great I loved the color on me, it was refreshing and tinted well, the design is cute as it’s very compact , small and smooth. The top size made it easy to open and very functional the lip wand is perfectly shaped and comfortable for the lips. My only complaint is that it doesn’t last long enough like anytime I eat it disappears however that can be a just me thing. Overall great product.

This lip gloss stain surprised me in the best way. It feels very similar to a certain high-end brand I’ve used (you know the one), from the scent to the shine to how smooth it goes on—but without the price tag. The color I got (#3 Blush Bubble Hue) is super flattering, not too bold, not too sheer, and perfect for everyday wear. It gives just enough color to wake up my face without screaming I’m wearing makeup.The hydration is real—it feels more like a lip balm with gloss than a sticky gloss pretending to be moisturizing. That said, it doesn’t quite have the same staying power as the luxury version I’ve tried. I do have to reapply after eating or drinking, but honestly, for how good it feels and looks, I don’t mind one bit. It’s become one of my go-tos.

I was so excited to try it, it’s glossy but it doesn’t stain and it’s very messy. Won’t be purchasing again.

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!

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.

The color was much richer than I expected for a lipgloss, and the stain lasts a long time. It applies smoothly and evenly and provides a hydrating feel with no stickiness. I also love the cute little bottle it comes in. It's definitely worth it for the price point. A pretty good clone of more expensive brands.
