Hochglanz-Lippenstain

I was skeptical about the whole gloss-to-stain thing, but after a few minutes the color set in and it held through lunch without that sticky feeling most glosses have. The shine stayed put long after the gloss faded, which is exactly what I wanted.

The shine is what got me—it starts like a glossy lip color and settles into a stain that doesn’t dry my lips out. I can sip coffee and still see a hint of color hours later, which is more than I can say for most glosses I’ve tried.

I’ve been wearing this every morning and the gloss-to-stain transition is surprisingly quick — by the time I finish my coffee, the colour has set without that sticky feeling I hate. It fades evenly over a few hours, so I don’t get that patchy ring around my lips.
