NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lip IV Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain with 12HR Hydration - Drippin In Rose Pink

Instant favorite, I want to put this on all the time! I usually dislike lipgloss, and bought this because I wanted a stain that didn't feel as dry as some do. But the gloss is also fantastic -- it doesn't have that sticky feel, it doesn't attract hair, and it feels so incredibly hydrating from the minute I put it on. It does very slightly feather into my vertical wrinkles around my mouth (they are fairly deep, since I'm nearly fifty and smoked most of my life), but nothing near as much as other glossy lipsticks and glosses, and I have to really examine myself up close to even notice. If I wipe off the gloss after ten minutes to just wear the stain, it doesn't look like it went into those lines at all. The stain lasts me about 8 hours (depending on what I eat -- greasy things will ofc remove it faster), but I honestly want to reapply the gloss at that point anyway. It also comes off evenly -- I haven't had the issue of color staying bright and solid all around my lips, but being gone in the middle. The smell (and taste) is similar to coconut oil -- faint coconut, and very "natural" -- not the cloying fake coconut smell you get in some cosmetics. With its being so hydrating (I feel it work better than most of my lip care products, including the famous LaNeige lip sleeping mask -- and yeah, I tried putting it on before bed, and the glossy look and hydrating feeling were still there the next morning), and so versatile, I think this is about the best value for your money you can get. Small downside: the color swatches don't feel super accurate -- even those where they show all colors on different skin tones. I expected this to be a bit more muted and more pink, and instead this color ended up being bright red, like a true bright red lip, which is a bit less wearable. The stain is fine, but also veers red. I have pale olive skin, and my lips aren't very naturally colored, so any stain definitely shows up bright, and that's fine, but a red lip isn't always the best choice for a daytime look, so I wish the name and the swatches would be a little more accurate. I will be buying more colors, though, cause I love it just that much. Read more

I love this product. It’s a bit thin so a little goes a long way when applying and the applicator works well. As a gloss it’s not sticky at all, and it leaves a great matte stain when blotted or as it wears. The color is true to the photos and it doesn’t have a noticeable smell. The product is small, but right for the price and fits easily in my smallest clutch. Will buy again. Read more

Beautiful colour but the lip stain is not very dark (very very light). The lip stain also does not last all day, even if it is not wiped off and kept on as a gloss. Other shades in this brand do last a bit longer and stain better if that is what you want it for. This particular shade is a beautiful gloss colour regardless and it feels very smooth and hydrating on your lips! Read more

Im really liking this product, NYX Lip IV Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain, color #2, Hydra Honey. I am happy with most everything it claims to achieve. The quality is great, as is the color pigment. Goes on smoothly and feels good, not sticky. It has staying power (the key is to let it set) though I didn’t get 12 hours out of it. More like 8 hours, for me. But In all fairness, I did drink coffee and ate some fries. I’m including 2 photos, one after application, second, 5 hours later. Hope this helps. Read more

It applies evenly. It’s a thick formula and will get on your teeth easily. It doesn’t dry down. It leaves a faint very unnoticeable stain. Doesn’t wear long at all. It’s beautiful when applied and is very glossy. It lasts as long as any other gloss. Not long at all. It feels good, but I wouldn’t say it’s hydrating properties extend beyond the initial application. If I wasn’t told it’s supposed to stain, I wouldn’t have noticed. That’s how much it stains.

I LOVE this lip stain! The stain goes on as a very bold, dark gloss that looks pretty brown. After leaving it on for 10+ minutes, I normally wipe it off with a dry cotton round and it leaves a very pretty stain on my lips. It doesn't have a strong smell or taste after it's wiped off and normally lasts around 6 hours. I'm not really sure that it's hydrating, but I normally top it with another gloss. But, it's a good stain for the price point and hasn't run out after using it for a month straight. Read more

Beautiful color. It stains my lips and even after the gloss has worn off, my lips have color. It's not drying and there's nothing to peel off. Read more
