New York Color Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains in Faithful Coral, Perpetually Mauve, Unforgettable Fuchsia, On Everyone's Lips & Get Noticed

The promise of lip stains is very, very attractive to me. Colour that lasts yet feels like nothing on the lips? Sign me up. The New York Color Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains ($2.99) are new to the drugstore and, if you're into stains, something I'd strongly suggest you check out. 

NYC Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains in Faithful Cora, Perpetually Mauve, Unforgettable Fuchsia, On Everyone's Lips & Get Noticed 

The NYC Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains are housed in a gloss-like tubes with a doe foot applicators. The consistency of the stain is a creamy but slightly watery. The product feels cooling and wet upon application but dries down quickly. While drying down, I get a slight stinging sensation which dissipates after a couple minutes. The lightest colour (Faithful Coral) almost doesn't show up on my lips and requires a couple layers to build up colour. The other four (Perpetually Mauve, Unforgettable Fuchsia, On Everyone's Lips & Get Notice) only need a single coat but the intensity of the stain can be strengthened with two layers. Regardless of any number of layers, the product isn't drying or moisturizing but feels weightless on the lips.

New York Color says that their stains alst only 4 hours, however I'd say that it's more like 16 for the darker colours. The first time I tried Unforgettable Fuchsia, I was afraid that my lips would be permanently stained. That's the big BUT. The darker colours like the fuchsia and the orange/red are hard to remove - even with the help of a heavy duty cleanser.  

The Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains meld into the lips so perfectly it's almost like your lips are naturally coral, mauve or fuchsia. I've applied 5 of the 6 colours on my lips. The missing shade is #300 In the Spotlight (cool pastel pink), which I'd presume would be like Faithful Coral - 

sheer and hard to build colour.

The 4 deepest shades of the Smooch Proof Liquid Lip Stains are perfect for lengthy work days, as they don't require touchups and you can easily apply a lip balm overtop without disrupting the colour.  I've said it before and I'll say it again. There are some hits and misses in the NYC line but the hits are great bang for your buck.
