Lip Ink Matte Moisturizing Lip Stain - The Pros and Cons

Lip Ink is known for their semi-permanent lip color that I absolutely adore. They have just released their Matte Moisturizing Lip Stain and I am here to give you my thoughts on it. These lip stains come in five different colors. You can purchase a trial size or if you love them, you can grab the discounted 5 pack. Let me tell you a little bit more.

This is a very unique lip product. It says matte, but it's very different than I expected. It has some shine to it and it is very thin and sheer. I personally would prefer an opaque lip color and a bit of a thicker product. I will say that it does moisturize your lips, where as other lip stains dry them out. This is probably the most unique lip product that I have ever used. It's funny because it is very light when you first apply it, but after you let it sit for awhile you will see the color become deeper. I first noticed this when I swatched it on my hand, only to notice later that it was darker. Let me get right to the point about this with the pros and cons.

Pros

It moisturizers your lips very nicely.
It's long-lasting! This stuff will last you all day.
It doesn't transfer. You can eat, kiss, talk or whatever you want without worrying about your lipstick coming off.
A little goes a long way. Since it is so thin, you don't need too much. However, if you want to layer it, it may run out quickly.

Cons

It's sheer. I'd rather it be an opaque lip stain. That's one reason that I love lip stains, because they are deep and fully cover your lips.
The color doesn't match the color on the site. The Matte Pink color on the site is more of a pink-berry color and the color that comes out on my lips is a pink-red color.
The price. I think that the price is too high for the amount of product that you receive.

Overall, I like this lip stain. I don't love it, but I may wear it again. I like the hydration and moisture it gives my lips. I really wish it were the color that I thought it was because that would be very a beautiful color. I think that this would be a good lip stain to wear when you are at an outdoor event because it will last long, give you the moisture you need, and bring a little bit of color to your life!
