NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lip IV Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain, Long-Lasting, Tinted, Vegan Formula with 12 HR Hydration - Hydra Honey (Brown)

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.

Obsessed! I've never been a fan of glosses because they get all over stuff and never really "stick" but this is like a gloss AND a stain. It's glossy for maybe 30-45 minutes and then turns into a stain. I can keep applying to freshen the shine but the color stays. I've not really tested one application for longer than 3 hours but the color stayed for that long at least. As far as moisturizing, the jury's out. My lips didn't feel particularly supple but not dry either. Also the taste/fragrance is neutral to pleasant. It certainly wasn't gross to me. I think my only complaint at all is the applicator. It's flimsy. After one use, it bends so you have to be gentle-ish or use it the other direction after it bends (after 1 use). So there you have it. I'd buy it again because I love the gloss stain itself, if not the applicator.

I got shade splash n spice and the gloss color is not good on me lol it’s too brown for my skin tone. But I really like the stain it leaves behind! It’s a natural, neutral pink. I find many stains are too bright but this one is very subtle and perfect for everyday. It’s a tiny bit sticky after you wipe the gloss off but it goes away and feels very comfortable on the lips. I put lip balm on top of it. I left the gloss on for about 15 mins before wiping it off.

I’m impressed; an affordable lipstick that fades nicely and doesn’t smell overly artificial and sweet. It lasted only a couple hours before fading, leaving my lip slightly unevenly coated when it did fade. However, I used bubblegum shade so it wasn’t noticeable. If it were a darker shade it might not be as flattering. The scent is very light. Only the faintness of coconut. It also was not sticky and instead felt like a nice lip balm on. It wasn’t too glossy either. I don’t think this lighter shade stained as much as I thought. I might try a darker shade to determine.

The product is good and I like it a lot. Moisturizing, leaves a nice color after. Not terribly long lasting but you only need to retouch once or twice during the day. BUT, the colors are not as shown. I've ordered two now that are just a shade / tone off from what is in the picture. One was a dramatic difference - the drippin' rose is definitely more of a reddish brown. Regardless, all of the colors are one color while wet, fading to about the same tint when dry. I am keeping and using them - a very nice product actually.

I absolutely adore this lip stain. It's genuinely a perfect "my lips but better". The border of my lips tends to disappear over video call, and I really like to apply this, let it sit like 1 minute, then blot majority of it off. It's SUPER easy to apply, and I don't find it exaggerates my lips' texture, despite having quite parched lips. I find that, blotted, I get several hours of wear time and it doesn't come off on the edge of my water bottle. Attached images of blotted, my natural lips, fresh applied. First set is Bubblegum Burst, second is Red-y-Set

I am completely obsessed with the NYX Lip IV! It gives you the juicy, high-shine look of a gloss with the deep, cushiony nourishment of an intensive lip oil or mask. ​The applicator hugs your lips perfectly and distributes product smoothly in one swipe. It feels incredibly hydrating without any of that annoying, tacky stickiness that hair clings to. It smooths out dry lip lines instantly and leaves your lips feeling plumped and moisturized long after the shine wears off. The subtle tint looks effortless on its own or layered over lip liner. A major drugstore holy grail!

Good color dupe for Rare Beauty Lip Oil in Delight. I was looking for a rare beauty lip oil in delight dupe. I would go through one about every two months so at $12 a month I was looking for something cheaper. I tried the nyx fat lip before and that was too thick so I kept going back to rare beauty. This one is a little thicker than the rare beauty but nowhere near as thick as the nyx fat lip, consistency is somewhere between the rare beauty and the fat lip but its not too sticky. The color is great. The stain is slightly more opaque than the rare beauty but I dont mind for the price. I think worth it at around 10 bucks. I'm pretty tan, not very dark but my lips always seem a little pale so at full application the color looks a little strong for me but still matches my skin tone and once worn off the stain is a perfect.

Great lip stain without the dryness! Feels silky smooth and not sticky on the lips, will be trying other colours, this one was a a nice neutral even though it looks dark- it’s not

Känns skönt på läpparna men är inte så hållbart som jag hoppats

This is a beautiful lip gloss/stain. If you want a more intense colour you can wear as a lip gloss, and if you want less colour or more of a lip stain look you can blot the colour until you’re happy with the result. I want to try other colours too.

Magnifique et longue tenue

The best lip tint i have ever tried, lasts for about 5 hours at a time, and looks amazing on my olive skin. i think this lip stain is viral for a reason
