ELF Lip Stains - Five Different Shades

Normally, I don't wear lip stick, lip stains, or anything really pigmented or "heavy" on my lips. I prefer a light gloss or lip balm. 
I've recently started to add more color to my lip collection! I've tried other lip stains in the past but they've always dried my lips out but I figured for $3, I don't have much to lose if I hated these!

I tried the shade "Heartbreaker" first, I wanted to just test these lip stains out before buying a bunch. 
I liked the results and decided to buy five different shades!

The ELF website states;
Achieve full coverage that lasts for hours with this long-wear formula. Enjoy silky matte color or layer on the moisturizing clear gloss for a shiny look. With key vitamins A & E your lips stay smooth all day long.
I do agree that these do give you full coverage and they *are* long-wearing but they don't last as long as your typical stain would. These last me for about four hours and then I have to reapply. I personally don't mind that, I love the colors, I love that it does last for a good amount of time and I really like the texture. It sort of glides onto your lips and I prefer these without the clear gloss on top of them. I like the matte finish better. The gloss helps a lot to keep your lips moisturized. It isn't sticky at all and just a nice, normal clear gloss. 



The shades I bought;
Heartbreaker - First Date - Red Carpet - Fashionista - Birthday suit
Heartbreaker - Natural nude
First Date - Light bright pink
Red Carpet - Deep cherry
Fashionista - Medium pink
Birthday Suit - Light pale baby pink

I love every single one of these shades. They're all great for different looks. Most of these are great for all skin tones.









These are my current favorite lip products.

Jane LIPKICK Lipstick - Not So Innocent Pink & Cotton Candy

I noticed some Jane cosmetics at a local drugstore, all on sale! I was surprised and happy because I hadn't seen Jane cosmetics anywhere for years! I decided to buy these two very different pink shades!
Not So Innocent Pink

Cotton Candy













Availability; 
You can also purchase these at most Rite Aid drugstores for about $5.00. 

Formula;
These are really creamy and moisturizing, they feel so nice on the lips! These are both pretty long lasting and have sort of a shine to them when you're wearing them. 

Not So Innocent Pink;
Very light, frosty shade. It's nice to pair with neutral eye looks as well as smoky eye looks. The light reflects off this one a lot. 


Cotton Candy;
Bright Barbie pink. This one is a very bold, hot pink shade. I'm a big fan of this color! Not for everyday but really pretty with a more toned down eye look! 

Overall; 

 I can't wait to buy more Lipkick lipsticks from Jane cosmetics. I'm not a big fan of "Not So Innocent Pink" but I love "Cotton Candy".  I want to try different shades. 
These are a great value and I've heard that "Cotton Candy" is hard to find so if you love bright, bold lipstick and see this one, pick it up! For the daytime I wear this shade but with lipgloss over it and that makes it pretty wearable for work. "Not So Innocent Pink" is good for the daytime but there is way too much frost for me. I suppose this would be a nice color for the summer time when I have a tan!
