OMG YES!!!!

This is a little expensive but it is worth it! I love the many colors especially the red/gold pair. Very sex lips! But please apply the stain with the utmost care, remember to start with a little color and build from there.

apply carefully

Great stain; if applied with fingers or a lip brush. If you use the wand that comes with it, you will deposit too much product and end up looking like a clown. I apply a thin coat with my lip brush to my top lip and press my lips together. I emphasize thin coat. In order for you to get the stain effect the product must be applied sparingly. One of the drawbacks of that is, if you don't h...read moreave your lip brush with you, your finger application stains not only your lips, but your fingers. Other than that, it is a wonderful product. I have Sayonara which is a vibrant, yet wearable pink and Daredevil which is a dark red. I have had both tubes for over a year, they are still almost full because so little product is needed. Non-drying, and long wearing. Color goes on evenly and smoothly.

Really Great Value

I bought this solely because it was $10 for one at Sephora...so naturally I had to get 2 (Turkish Delight Gloss/Sayonara Stain and Stolen Kisses Gloss/Pampa Stain). I already owned a Nars lipgloss, which I love, so I knew I'd like this. I have yet to try the stains, and I will definitely take heed of the advice people give in this reviews as to not deposit too much color and use it very sparingl...read morey. The 2 glosses are awesome thus far though. Turkish Delight is a nice, pale, non-shimmery (which is very important to me) pink color, which would look amazing with a smoky eye. Stolen Kisses is a dark nude with a hint of rose and looks great with everyday makeup and at work. Would I spend more than $10 on this? Maybe...but not much more...I'd probably max out at about $15...but then I wouldn't get 2, and where's the fun in that?!

Beautiful color!

I have the red/gold combo and love it but do wish it did last a little longer. Had to reapply a few times during the day. You don't need much of the stain because of the saturated color. It is a little more than I would normally spend but I do like the product.

Ok but color is pretty heavy and opaque

When I think of stains, I think of Benetint, Stainiac or Vincent Longo. I wouldn't really call this a stain. It's more like a very heavy, highly pigmented lip gloss. In "heavy", I mean colorwise, not necessarily consistency. I got the colors Turkish Delight/Sayonara. On me, the color combo looks like a dark rose with a hint of brown. Not bad but not really my type. It's extremely ...read moreeasy to get too much of the product on your lips using the applicator that comes with it. I had to put a small dot in the middle of my lower lips and blend with my fingers in order for it not to look unnatural, garish and cakey. The "gloss" part of this combo feels a bit goopy and sticky. I'd rather wear just the color or "stain" and top it off with a clear lip balm or even chapstick. The color doesn't last long on me at all. I would say about 30-40 min. and that's without eating or drinking anything during that time. For a stain, it just doesn't quite cut it as it doesn't really 'stain" the lips like a real stain would. Instead, it sits on top of the lips as opposed to "sinking" into the lips. For a lipgloss, it's pretty good, especially if you're into glosses with a lot of pigmentation. But for me, I prefer a gloss with a semi sheer to sheer finish instead of an opaque or matte finish. In addition, for $28, it's a bit too expensive for what it advertises.

Color is Dark

The color comes out darker than the tube. Less is more for this one.

pleased

I have the combo in Moon Fleet/Indian Red, and at first I was kind of schocked how the color goes on. It was reminicsent of tomato soup, but afer about 5 min. the color settled into a lovely red. Color keeps moist like a gloss, so careful with eating and drinking! the moon fleet looks great on top of the red, or all by it's self! keep in mind to line your lips before applying, it goes on pretty slick!

orgasmic...

to be quite honest, i tried orgasm lip gloss for the first time last night. i wasn't blown away, but then again i wasn't wearing any makeup either. it was a nice nude color i would wear probably when i pair it with the corresponding blush. texture is okay; average.
