Clarins Hydrating Water Lip Stain

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this lip stain so much! I wore it to the club this past weekend and it lasted ALL NIGHT!!! I was shocked! I love how the color looks as well! For the price it is worth it!!

My review is for 01 Rose Water lip stain. The packaging is just okay-nothing fancy or eye-catching. When I opened it, I noticed the brush has a flat, paintbrush-style tip. The product itself smells really nice, which was a pleasant surprise. Application takes a little practice. I had to wipe the brush off slightly, just like you would with a paintbrush, to avoid applying too much product. The formula is very watery, so if you skip this step, it's easy to go outside your lip line. I shared photos with one and two coats-it's definitely buildable and goes on smoothly. One big plus: it didn't make my lips feel dry. That said, you must prep your lips beforehand if they're chapped or flaky. It really emphasizes any dry spots, as you can see in my close-up photo. I didn't notice any transfer onto straws or cups, which was nice. However, it didn't last long. After drinking and eating a sandwich, it wore off in about an hour or two. Overall, it's a pretty lip product with a lightweight feel and a nice scent, but don't expect all-day wear. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This stain packs a punch. Shade #03, Red Water, is a bright, candy apple red with a slight cherry scent. It can be VERY overbearing when applied with the applicator - I prefer to use a brush to better control the saturation, because it is very pretty and natural looking when applied sheer. This stain can wear unevenly throughout the day and requires minor touch ups, but much less than your average lipstick.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Clarins Water Lip Stain in Rose Water is a vibrant fuchsia-pink shade with a lightweight, water-based formula that glides on easily and dries to a soft, matte finish. It feels refreshing on the lips and is enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and raspberry water, making it comfortable for all-day wear. The color is buildable—from sheer to bold—and impressively long-lasting without smudging or transferring. I love how easy it is to use and how vibrant the color is!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I think this lip stain has been reformulated…and honestly, it's better than ever. I used to love it years ago, but I love it even more now. The texture has changed noticeably: it has a gel-like consistency while still staying thin and watery. It applies smoothly, builds up beautifully, and lasts for a few hours without drying out my lips. One of the best things about it is its versatility. You can wear it as a soft, natural flush of rose or layer it for a more punchy, bold red lip. It's great for customizing your look depending on the occasion or your mood. I had stopped buying it before because the old packaging was terrible, the lid didn't seal properly, and I'd end up with lip stain leaking into my bag and all over my hands. Thankfully, that seems to be fixed now. The new cap snaps into place securely, which means no more mess and no wasted product. As a bonus, it doubles beautifully as a blush. I'd even compare it to my favorite Chanel water tint blush, it gives a subtle, natural flush with a soft sheen that makes your cheeks look healthy and fresh. Highly recommend if you're into multipurpose, natural-looking tints that don't make a mess in your bag.
