Primark Lip Stain Pen

Hiya ladies today's post is about a lip stain pen i picked up in primark a couple of days ago, im not a fan of lip stain pens because they never seem to last very long on my lips but this was only £1.50 so i fancied giving it a go.

The applicator is very fine at the tip which is perfect for getting precise lines which is a must for this product and im going to show you why.

This is a swatch of the lip stain just applied and then a picture after i have washed it off.

Just applied                           washed off

well as you can see it does stain the bloody stuff doesn't come off, i found this out the hard way i had applied this on my lips in the morning and it was still there the next evening it wouldn't budge so i was stuck with bright red lips for a couple of days i would put a picture up of it on my lips but i don't fancy looking like a clown and i say clown because if you make a mistake while applying it, it ain't coming off so your stuck with wobbly edges then you try and rub it off and it smudges onto the skin around your mouth (not a good look). It's such a shame because the application colour is a lovely deep red.

So primark although you have amused me with your lip STAIN pen i don't think i will be using it again anytime soon.

Maybeline Colour Sensational Lipstain

I have never used a lip stain before so i was quite excited to try it out, the packaging is nice all the different colours have co-ordinating lids and ends which i liked, the applicator is like a felt tip pen so its easy to apply, i got the colour tender rose which is a lovely pink, the first thing i noticed was the scent it smells like fruity berry's also colour is really nice and you can't feel it on your lips it is quite transparent but if you wait for it to dry then apply another coat it gets darker which i found really useful because you can use it lightly for a day look and apply it heavier if your going out.

The first day i had this on my lips after 20 mins i noticed  the downside to it, i looked in the mirror and 90% of it had come off the other 10% was stuck to a little dry patch i had, i worked out that it had come of when my lips got wet 'im a lip licker' so because you can't feel it on your lips once it dries you have no idea if its still there or not.

Overall I'm 50/50 on this lipstain the colour is really nice but for me to maintain the colour i would have to check and re-apply it every 15-20 mins which to be honest I'm not prepared to do, i haven't got time to be looking in the mirror every 15 mins worrying that it had come off and I've been walking around with patchy lips. I would buy this if it had more staying power but as its a newish product i don't think they will be changing the formula any time soon.

you can buy it for £5.99 here 

have you tried any lipstains from other brands and what did you think?
