Hard Candy Stain Shine
I found this to be a surprisingly good lip set. I have Piglet, which contains a beautiful raspberry popsicle stain and clear glittered gloss. The stain applies evenly and wears well, and the gloss isn't sticky and helps the color to last a bit longer. Not the most unique or high-quality of products, but pretty good nonetheless. I am very picky when it comes to lip products. I stay away from glosses because they are generally made too sticky. The gloss on one end of the tube is actually very light and the fine glitter is very flattering. The stain lasts fairly long on my lips and often times I just wear the stain because it looks very natural. By varying the amount, you can achieve different looks. I love this duo and the color I bought is 'Stop'. I got this Hard Candy Stain and Shine in the color Piglet. I do agree with the one other reviewer that the lip stain is definitely a purplish shade. I don't mind because the staying power is extra long and I normally wear a regular lipstick on top of the stain for extra long wear. What I am really crazy about is the softly shimmered clear gloss on the other end. This lip gloss is one of the best I've ever tried. It provides a gorgeous shine and is very long lasting. I have previously used a Hard Candy lip gloss that I was never impressed with. I will purchase this product again as well as get the other color that this comes in. I bought this cause Hard Candy was having a 75% sale. THe color is pretty berry but not a dark color. I enjoy this because I would rather layer the color one by one then have the stain just cover my lips in a dark color without having a choice to turn back. The color is very natural and not overwhelming like most of the other stains out there. (which also means the color is not very shown like the others) The gloss barely has any scent to it which I am very not used to. The texture of the gloss is kind of funky too but it's not something that bad. I bought this and Kiss and Tell Fate and both of them are good for everyday school/casual look. The days when you are lazy or you know you would work a lot but you still want to look pretty. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Nice stain, lovely gloss
I have this in Piglet is the only true purple stain I use. The gloss is like a clear, vaguely shimmery/pearly (but not overly so) dream and I adore it. The stain is nice, if not a bit watery, but the color is true and it does last a long while. Doubles as a cheek color. Watery consistency, however, ensures that the stain will travel into lip lines, if one has reached the point in their make-upping life that she must be concerned about such things. Gloss looks great on eyelids for a sheer wash of transparent sheen. Stain will attach itself to dry skin on lips, never to be removed again, so be sure to exfoliate lips before use! — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

LOVE THIS
I bought this for my wedding and it delivers better than any other lip stain ive tried, it gives such a natural look and it is very buildable and natural looking. It even doubles as a natural looking blush too. — 5 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

love to stain!
Great product. I would only give the warning to be sure your lips are well moisturized. If your lips are chapped or cracked, the stain absorbs more in these areas and is noticable. — 5 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Can't believe they discontinued this.
I've tried every lip stain there is, and while this one is not perfect, it's the best one I've tried. Only drawback is that it doesn't last long enough (but I think I tend to have unreasonable expectations in that area). Piglet is a great color -- not to red, not too pink. Nice mauve-ish shade. — 5 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful
