 Rock n Rouge

Tropical Frenzy

Sweet Pink

Packaging is the same as Revlon's balm stain but the pigmentation is ten fold and a quarter of the price. I am impressed by the great texture and color. Not to mention it is long lasting. The moisturizing feeling begins to fade the longer you wear it but that is to be expected.

Sephora Color Lip Last #19 (Pure Red) Review & Swatches!

 This is what the color looks like once it sets.

 Sephora Collection

 What it is:
A radiant lipstick that lasts up to 10 hours with an incredibly comfortable feel.

What it does:
This exclusive, multitasking formula locks in color and provides comfortable wear for a beautiful pout that lasts. The high-coverage pigments distribute intense color and are mixed with a setting agent that acts as a base for the lips. The ultra-thin texture feels light and the waterproof formula makes it refreshingly smudge-proof.

This bright blue based retro red lip color is absolutely amazing. It is super pigmented, opaque, and you only need one coat. It sets very quickly and literally doesn't budge until I take it off with a makeup remover wipe.

The awesome thing is it sets to a bright red matte finish. I get many compliments when I wear this color. The packaging (shown above) is sleek and the case is made of hard durable plastic. The cap snaps on so you don't have to worry about it slipping off in your pocket or purse. It is definitely waterproof, but I did have to reapply after eating, which is too be expected. Best of all it does not dry out my lips, which other long lasting products seem to have done. I highly recommend this product. $12.00USD

Wet n Wild's liquid lip colors are great and pigmented however the product is a heavy cream which I think is not necessary and it makes the drying time longer than it needs to be (5 minutes) also once it dries it is very difficult to remove I tried makeup remover, wipes, alcohol, even vitamin E. All I can see is ouch, all that rubbing and tugging on my lips left them irritated and inflamed. Wet n Wild should either work on this formula or pull this from the shelves all together. It is such a shame because the colors especially this one are beautiful. It comes with a sponge tip applicator and the price is under $5USD. I paid $2.99USD for mine.

Sephora's cream lip stain in #01 is absolutely amazing. I love it. It is easy to remove (I use makeup wipes) and is super pigmented, it can also be layered for a more intense effect. Once it is on it is not budging, all day wear, non transferable and no scent or weird taste. It comes with a sponge tip applicator for easy use and the packaging is sleek and the price is very reasonable. $12USD. I get many compliments with this color. It is a blue based bombshell red. It dries very quickly to a retro bright matte red.

Lime Crime's Red Velvet is a force to be reckoned with I thought it was the first of it's kind, but shortly after discovered Sephora's cream lip stain and then the light bulb went off in the head. This dupe is a little on the pricey side ($16USD) and a darker blue based red, that dries down to a matte finish. Since it is the first of it's kind I ever used I will always carry a special place in my makeup collection for this product. I still love it, it is pigmented easy to remove and has no taste or scent. It has build-able coverage and dries super fast. You may have to touch up after eating and drinking but that's the case with all of these products. I kissed a friend of mine and he was shocked that red did not transfer on his lips. Score. (FYI: This product is always sold out on the site, I recommend searching on eBay or other retailers for this product. Or you can try Sephora's cream lip stain #01 as an alternative.)
