To Start with, let me tell you these are not stains, I am not sure why they are named as stains :/ These are more like a pigmented liquid lip balm or a lip lacquer to be precise.

I like the rectangular packaging and the colors outside according to the shades like red or pink. Also the country names, loved them!

The applicator is slanted and small but perfect for application. Its very runny in texture as you can see here in the swatch, so be careful when applying. It gives a wet, glossy, opaque color. Its completely non sticky and very light weight.

I absolutely loved the pigmentation! These are like so pigmented, the most in the lip lacquer category I would say. These stay for around 3 hours without eating or drinking, but if you eat, it would vanish completely 😀 It does not leave any stain. But lips are moisturized and you do not feel the need of a lip balm even in these winters, when using this. They fade away gradually and evenly.

They do get on the teeth though, even after wiping off the excess with your finger in between lips, you would need to do it 2-3 times,since these tend to run on the lips :/ Maybe since its a deeper color.

Shanghai Sizzle is a true warm red, not very bright or in your face. A subtle, wearable orange red.

Here is it on me..

Overall, I would say these are like nice pigmented lip gloss/lip lacquer. Would not call them a lip stain. These are pigmented and glossy, stay for around 3 hours and very very light on the lips. Lips remain moisturized too. At 675 bucks, these are slightly expensive but 8ml is a good quantity. I would love to try Parisian Passion and India Intrigue.
