Product Packaging: The Stain gloss comes in a white
tube with the cover being more or less representative of the colour of the stain
gloss. If you are more of a lipstick person then give the Super stay 14 hour
lipsticks a try.
The
applicator is in the shape of an oval and there is a small hole in the middle
of it. It is soft and fluffy and pretty flexible. Even though I have small lips
I still find it pretty easy to work with.
Product Colours: These stain glosses come in ten
shades for your every colour desire. For me that colour was Pleasing Plum. Ah
yes, I was in the mood to delve into the world of purple lips! Little did I
realise the shade Luxurious Lilac would have been a better choice but I
digress.
What is
interesting about this product is that the colour of Pleasing plum appeared
more purple when wet and once dry it changes to a deep plum colour. Either way
the colour is really pigmented and reminded me of a liquid lipstick.

Product Performance: The stain gloss glides onto the
lips easily. I did note a slight sensation when applied onto the lips; not exactly
tingly but not exactly burning either. Like I mentioned before the product
appears rather glossy on initial application but then dries down and the stain
part of it takes over.
As for
the ten hour part, I did try the product a few times and had different wear
times but none of them lasting 10 hours. The first time I tried it I applied
the product, left it on for 30 minutes and then had a drink and it was almost
all gone by then. Another time I tried it on and ate a meal almost immediately
afterwards and the stain was still visible present on the lips but most of the
actual colour of the product was gone. In all I did get about 2-3 hours wear
time on my somewhat chappy lips.
