Oh it's cherry...and it stains!
I already had a warm bronze toned lip stain so I wanted one along the cool/pink line. I like Stila's other lip glosses and glazes so I figured this one might be good. I'm not a huge "cherry flavor" fan, but it seemed tolerable. I love the pen design, like other Stila products although for the "newbies" it can be hard to master. It's VERY cherry scented so if you like cherry pop...read moresicles, you'll be thrilled. What I didn't like is that it is bright...REALLY bright! And it stains your lips for a long long time. And that brightness doesn't fade. I wasn't too happy about looking like a 3 year old who had drank a gallon of cherry kool-aid. And it is almost impossible to neutralize with any other lipsticks, glosses or stains. If that's what you are looking for, you found your product. If not, stay away!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

works
This stuff is better then Benefit, but nothing like Tarte's cheek stain. It’s a little hard to work with, you either don’t get enough products, or way too much comes out. It did a good job at staying for a few hours, but then needed to be reapplied so I did not just have stain on the outer most parts of my lips. Overall I would not buy it again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Fun product!
Stila’s Cherry Crush lip & cheek stain is a lovely little gel based stain housed in adorable cherry blossom print click pen. Since this is a gel, it picks up where other liquid (read – messy) stains leave off. A couple clicks of the pen produces a small amount of colour, just enough to easily tint your lips or rouge your cheeks. It dries quickly, yet gives you plenty of time to ...read morework with the colour, ensuring plenty of leaway for your desired effect. Top if off with a little gloss or lip balm to add some dewiness, people will think you’ve just eaten a bowl of cherries! I definitely think this gives a very youthful flush to the face – like a child who’s been out playing in fresh air, and I would love to see it produced in a variety of colours. This would be a great travel option, as it houses 2 products in one streamlined package.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain
I was browsing websites looking for recommendations on a great lip stain. This seemed to get the best reviews. I checked it out at my local Sephoria, and loved the color right away. I tried it on, and imediately was grossed out by the taste. It had a bitter taste. But... the color was so fabulous I decided to buy it anyway. I do keep trying it over and over because I really love the color, but it ...read moretastes gross to me. I am surprised no one else mentioned that point. I don't think it lasts as long as a henna stain though, but the color is gorgeous.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

TOTALLY AWESOME
I have pale skin and hardly any natural color in my lips, so this product was a godsend! It's easy to apply and stains your lips or cheeks lightly. Then you can layer on more if you want more intense color. I love that I can just wear this with a little bit of lip balm or lip gloss and go! It also smells divine and the color should go with ANY skin tone. This will ALWAYS be in my purse.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Good overall
This is a pretty good stain, but I think it's a bit too pink for most people. It's bright on the lips, a little less on the cheeks (I'm pretty fair though). It applies evenly though, and it does stay put.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Sadly Crushed
After staring at this stain undecided for who knows how long in Sephora, I finally caved in with high hopes due to the good reviews here. However, my disappointment of this product came sooner than i expected, Despite it being a cherry-red stain, it only manages to stain my lower lips and not my upper lips even after i persistently apply it. I ended up looking like i was sucking on cherry lollipo...read moreps with slurs on my lower lips. =*( After a week of patience, I lost it and returned it back to Sephora. On the side, the packaging gives a very spring to summer feel, very different from the usual Stila lip packaging and the attached brush is good too! So, my final verdict is that you should buy this product where there is good return policy just in case it doesn't work out for you; mainly because the price isn't the easiest to swallow if the product is a disappointment.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

fruity fun!
First of all I LOVE the packaging. Red tube with silver cherry blossoms winding around it, can we say gorgeous? The product itself smells like a cherry slushie, yum! The color is not harsh at all, more like a natural flush. And it stays on for a good 6 hours. Well worth the money.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

wears all day!
i love the new cherry crush!! it gives me a i just ate a strawberry look, smells just like cherries and wears all day. i have found that you need to use your fingers to use on cheeks, but i just use the applicator for my lips. i like the fact that it is a gel, where i have tried some liquid stains and they don't blend!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Too bright... but amazing wearability
Not my favorite product. It's REALLY bright in color. I'm pretty fair, so it comes off as hot pink on my lips. I suppose if you want something really bright, or if you have a darker skin tone, it would be perfect. It does last all day, and the applicator is quite nice.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful
