Etude House Color Pop Shine Tint is a new tinted lip stain available in five shades released with the limited edition Color Pop Summer 2013 Collection.

I generally like lip stain and these were released in some popping shades of orange. So my two obsessions, orange and lip stain, combined together made them a tempting morsel indeed.

I know some folks dislike lip stain because they found it drying but I really love using it under my favorite MAC Lipglasses to amp them up a bit. Or on their own really as they are an easy way to get a bit of tint on my lips without having to haul out lipstick, gloss, etc….

Etude House Color Pop Shine Tint is all about the orange. Some of the shades are quite like what MAC has released in the All About Orange lipstick range only in a lip stain formula.

Take a look!

I remember as a child being fascinated with mood lipstick that’s why Lioele L’cret Miracle Magic Lipstick is so appealing. It just brings back childhood memories! I guess my first experience with makeup was one of those funky green mood lipsticks, oh, and this one time I ate a whole chapstick.

I’m still alive so I guess it wasn’t too toxic. Obviously this was why I’ve turned into such a makeup junkie now!

At this point I’m unsure how many variations of Etude House Kissful Tint Chou are around. They keep repackaging, revamping, and re-releasing it to intentionally confused me.

For shame Etude House for shame!

They know I’ll keep buying it that’s why. And you should consider buying it too because it is THEE bestest lip stain ever. Tired of stains drying your lips out?

Etude House Kissful Tint Chou is for you my dears!

Why yes I do feel like a bit of a vampire after applying Tony Moly Tint! Jeepers, what were they thinking when they created this lip tint? It’s super powered pigmented and will last all day dying lips a deep shade of blood red. Honestly, it looks like I took a bite from someone’s neck…it’s just that odd, unusual too realistic shade of bloody red.

Hmm!

L’Oreal Color Caresse Shine Stain, quite an exciting Spring 2013 launch for L’Oreal don’t you think? These have everyone in an absolute uproar at the moment and I can easily understand why considering word on the street is they are a cheaper dupe of YSL Glossy Stains.

I have tried both the L’Oreal Color Caresse Shine Stains now and the YSL Glossy Stains so I feel confident comparing the two products. I even went ahead and hauled out my YSL Glossy Stains and revisited them to make accurate comparisons between the two.

Shall we have a look?

As you know from my prior posts Physicians Formula Sexy Glow Glossy Stain released in drugstores for Spring 2013 in two shade selections.

These contain pheromone boosting ingredients to give you a “sexy” feel and look. I can’t stop laughing when I type sentences like that. The pheromone aspect of lipgloss isn’t necessarily a new thing, Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lipgloss had packaging which released pheromones when you rubbed it. But hey, at least Urban Decay didn’t go so far as to inject pheromones into the formula. Supposedly the Sexy Glow Glossy Stains are infused with cocoa extract or what Physicians Formula refers to as “the Love Chemical” and horny goatweed…I’m not making this up, it’s on the back of the box.

As far as sexy goes it might be the vibrant, intense shades of red and raspberry that you get into a sexy mood as these shades will rock your pout.

Now that Summer is here my lip and cheek stains like to come out and play a good deal more often than they do in the Winter. Recently a shade of the new Avon Lip Stain Markers passed by desk and I decided to test it out today.

Hey, wait, why did I always think that the It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush Lipstick Stain was a clear balm sort of formula?

How wrong was I!

The shade Je Ne Sais Quoi always appeared a clear balm to me so I never indulged. Surprised was I when I got a sample to try out and it actually turned into one of those perfect shades of pink.

It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush Anti-Aging Lipstick is a balm, a gloss, and a stain all in one.

Soap & Glory Cheekmate is a cheek and lipstain the brand introduced a few months ago. Soap & Glory roamed deeper into the cosmetic world with this release as they never really did color cosmetics.

I’m a little sad we haven’t yet seen the cosmetic line here in the US but I look forward to the release.

Let’s take a look!

Cheek stain lovers will want a look at this one.

Sephora Be You Lip Stain is a new gel lip stain inspired with a tangerine-inspired color. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a new product. Sephora has done lip gels and stains in the past but not one that was tangerine in color nor one that was self adjusting.

I was fairly curious about a self adjusting shade of tangerine so I purchased it.

Take a look!
