The Wednesday Question

When you need a reliable lip color that you KNOW is going to last for more than an hour or two, which product do you usually reach for in your stash?

I seem to always reach for my Revlon Balm Stain in Smitten these days. It's a great shade to wear at night, and that's usually the time when I don't want to have to worry about reapplication (I'm always having too much fun to be bothered with that!). It even lasts through dinner for me. Love that color!

  1. One of the ELF Matte Lip Color Pencils - Nearly Nude, Tea Rose or Coral any shade is a good, long-lasting go-to.

  2. I also choose Revlon's Kissable Balm Stain but in "Honey". I'm trying to branch out and use the other colors I have but it's my favorite so far.

    1. Honey and Smitten are my chosen colors in the Balm Stain as well. Love it!

  3. Chanel Glossimer in Spark. On me it leaves behind a nice stain as well as a little glitter and I still feel like there is a little slip left behind that keeps me from chewing up my lips

  4. Maybelline 24hr lipcolor. It's the only thing I wear anymore.

    1. I second this! I LOVE Lasting Lilac - gorgeous cool bright pink shade with BLUE sparkles!

      I also love CG Outlast Double Shine - the "Bronze Goddess" shade is my HG lipstick!

  5. I love the Revlon Balm Stain in Honey and Adore. I like Smitten and Crush too. If I layer on Precious first, then top with them, they don't turn too bright on me.

  6. I go for Revlon Stains or the Hard Candy stains!

  7. I press and dab the Milani Color Statement lipsticks on my lips, blot and repeat. It makes for a nice subtle stain effect, that lasts nicely. My 3 favs are Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose, and Nude Creme. Wait...I also like Sweet Nectar. Another good long lasting lippie is the Tarte Matte LipSurgance. I have 2, Hope, and Exposed...both are great for a natural flushed lip look. If you don't care for a matter feel or appearance, layering a tinted balm (or plain) over it works well.

  8. Smitten is a favorite! I also love Lovesick - beautiful shade. Another one I love is Milani's Color Statement in High Voltage. And this isn't drugstore, but Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lip Color in Tesoro is my all time fave.

  9. I either reach for one of my Revlon Kissable Lip Stains, NYX Matte Lipsticks, or a WnW lipliner over lipbalm (Fab Fuschia lasts all day). It sounds like I need to check out ELF's Matte pencils!

  10. Haha. Before I read your answer, I was going to say the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart or Honey. Is smitten the purpl-y colored one?

  11. My go to, never fail lippies: Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle. Revlon Balm Stain in Rendevous. -Terese

  12. My revlon balm stain in honey! (:

  13. I either use the revlon's just bitten balm in romantic. Or MAC Red russian. I use the same blotting and reapply method with the MAC lipstick as BubblegumBengal with her lipsticks.

  14. i go for revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in honey, or the wnw lip liner in brandywine (or both!)

    ReplyDelete
  15. In the day time I go for Revlon Kissable Lip Balm Stain in Honey, at night I use a mix of Romantic and Honey or just straight up Romantic depending on the mood. Honestly I don't wear much lipstick at all, I can't stand the feel, so what I pick depends on feel as much as wear time.

  16. I have a lot of products that last well on me, but lately I've been reaching for Black Radiance lipsticks frequently. So pigmented and long lasting!

  17. I have yet to find a "stain" that lasts more than 15 minutes on me. I usually just go with SPF lip balm, but I do like the Revlon lip butters at night sometimes, or the L'oreal color balm during the day, since it has an SPF. But they don't last if I eat or drink anything :(

    ReplyDelete
  18. I go for the Revlon Balm Stains, since they last and don't feel sticky or weird. My go-to favorites are Honey, Adore and Romantic.

  19. More votes for Balm Stain! I love Adore--it's just a perfect brick red on me. NYC lip stains in Endless Spice and Nude are also things I reach for a lot, and Revlon's Pink Truffle Lip Butter is the first lipstick I will ever use up completely, I think. Such a nice, moisturizing product in a really wearable workhorse color.

  20. I love those Revlon Balms. I think I have three. They definitely are the most long lasting lip colors I have. Second, would be the YSL Lip Stains. Honestly, though, I prefer the texture of the Revlon Balms.

  21. Any of the Rimmel Apocalips. Packed them for a vacation and they were amazingly long lasting!

  22. I love Smitten, although I'm wearing Adore today. Revlon has really stepped up it's game in the lip color department. I love the balm stains, the lip butters, and now I want that shine finish that you posted about yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I wear the according revlon lipstain for the color I want then I bring a lip gloss of the same color! my faves are sweetheart and smitten:)
