I have this in Serial Kisser and LOVE it! I tend to prefer stains / natural cherry kissed lips that look hydrated over a full matte look. The formula applies on smoothly and feels really hydrating. The color itself is like raspberry/cherry and looks like you've been eating a popsicle. At first it applies really intensely and I was worried it was going to be a full on vinyl gloss situation, but it dries down like a stain and doesn't dry out the lips. Sometimes I'll apply just in the center and spread with my finger for an even more natural look. Officially my new favorite!
I want to begin by saying I am a HUGE Buxom fan, and have been using Buxom products since they first appeared in the market. The lipliner pencils are my fave liners and I use them daily. That said, I was extremely excited to purchase this latest product because I am a lip products junkie and am always looking for lipcolors that last a long time. Sadly, while I loved how this product applied, and was extremely happy with my color choice, Smoochy, a beautiful peachy shade, the wear time was just not there for me, nor did the product leave behind any sort of stain on my lips. Please improve the formula, Buxom, to match the promises...

I am absolutely in love with Frenchy and oh Dolly the only bad thing is it doesn't stay as long as normal lip stains do and a wish. It also came in a lipstick or lip gloss. I am repeatedly putting it on throughout the day but I just I love the color so much. It is perfect. I always buy four at a time please don't ever stop selling it.

I love the brush of this product. However I was disappointed in the Pucker Up Dolly actual color. It didn't look like the color on the website. I also bought the SWAK and love that color. I like the way it feels on my lips. And by letting it dry and not blotting it right away like another reviewer suggested it stayed on for quite awhile. I've noticed that others say this is being discontinued and I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not a fan of just glass lip products, I want color and shine.

I bought the color SWAK and online it looks very pink but when I got it, it looked very purple in the packaging and went on looking very purple on the lips as well. Not what I was looking for my fair skin.

It says plumping lip so I assume it would do that but it doesn't at all do a thing to plump the lips, I'll give it a three because the color is fabulous it however is disappointing because I was hoping for a plump look. Shame because the color is beautiful.

Several of the darker colors have been great! Easy to apply, long lasting, rich color.

I love this lip stain! It's the perfect berry color, doesn't dry out my lips like other stains and wears off evenly so I don't have weird patches of color after a meal. 10/10

First of all, I am HEART BROKEN about this product being discontinued!! It is hands down the first and best actual lip staining lip product I have ever used! I have very thin lips… if I over line them with lip liner and regular lipstick eventually it wipes off and ends up looking like I have a lip liner mustache. You have to use this product the correct way in order to love it as much as I do.. it is a stain. It has to be left on for a little bit BEFORE you blot it. Let the stain do it's thing and set in a little while you put on mascara or something. I have found that the longer I leave it on with it looking moist and glossy before I blot it down the better the staining power. I over line my lip with this stain and it stays put. I mean stays put thorough wearing a mask, drinking through a straw, wiping it with hands, I even used it all summer when I went to the beach because I wanted to have an upper lip and it stayed on! Think of it like a waterproof mascara. You need to allow it to dry before you can go smudging it or wiping your eyes. You can't just slap it on and expect it not to run or smudge if it hasn't dried…..this lip stain is the same. Put it on, go ahead and over line your upper lip a little, let it set and dry a little, THEN lightly tap it with a tissue and follow that by tapping around the edge of your lip lightly with your finger. I PROMISE you this will give you the lasting stain effect while also looking natural and not like a drawn on line. I BEG YOI BUXOM, PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT!!! I am 52 and this is the FIRST time I have ever had an upper lip that doesn't wipe off! I NEED this lip stain!!

Color: Make Out - Please, please never stop producing this color! I've spent so much money trying to find the perfect all occasion lip stain that isn't drying and has a versatile color. THIS IS THE ONE I've been looking for. Of all the lip stains I've tried this is the most hydrating with best color and long lasting.

Bought SWAK based on the color in the photographs and the actual color is not even close. The actual color is much more of a pinkish lilac (similar to the color shown in the listing). Also, while this gives the look of a stain, it didn't have near the staying power of a true stain. Giving 3 stars because it is a good lip product, but it's just not what I thought I was buying. Would recommend but with some major caveats.

I purchased this in SWAK, which is labeled as a "rose." Due to the difference in monitor colors, I typically go by the label rather than how the product appears on my screen. However, the difference was huge. SWAK is dark PURPLE. I'll be returning this as soon as possible. The product was actually really nice, but the color isn't for me. I won't be trying another because these are online only and I don't have time to keep bringing things back to the store.

I expected a true lip stain that will last for hours and hours, instead what I got is more like a lip gloss. It doesn't stay on and what does stay on does not give me the "shine" as advertised. I'm disappointed. I have to reapply very regularly, as often as reapplying lip-gloss.
ADeco from Oklahoma
So I wrote my review in the wrong spot apparently, maybe it'll show up anyway. Who knows. Anyway, I love this product! I chew on my bottom lip a lot and can never get lipstick to stay on, this stain is absolutely perfect and I feel like it was made just for me! It smells so good and stays on for a long time. It's darker and shinier at first and then eventually you can see where it is a stain. It's just beautiful and I don't have to worry about my lipstick off part of my lips. I love this product and am so excited to try more colors!
MythVermont from VT
I had high expectations because Buxom is generally such a good brand and this was a huge flop. The texture is more of a gloss and is rather shiny. The color payoff is good but it does not last. It also had a horrible taste/smell and reminds me of dirt. Do not recommend.
makeupMaven997 from Portland, Oregon
The worst lip stain I ever tried. Extremely messy, with very dark red color, like dried blood, impossible to get coverage without making a shambles of it, leaks over lip lines. Worse than a waste of money, it's hard to remove and one false move and your lips are ruined.

I have been using this product since I discovered it a few years ago and I am obsessed. For those of you who like the look of a lip stain, it is BY FAR the best i have found. Beso and bitten are my go-to evening shades and pucker up dolly and xxx are my daytime shades. I wear this almost every day. It provides a beautifully pigmented, even stain and isn't drying like most lip stains out there. The color stays very long but i do have to reapply after eating or drinking, but usually even the next morning i still have a decent amount or color left over. It's the perfect amount of color- more than a gloss but less than lipstick, and is semi-matte after it settles for a bit. I will cry if this ever goes away.
PaleInFL from FL
This product did not deliver at all. It does not stain, it does not last more than 15-30 min. Absolutely disappointed since every other Buxom lip product I have used has been wonderful. Stick to the tried and true lip products and pass on this one.
LesliePresley from TX
Does not perform like a stain. More of a gloss. Had to return.
phillid2 from Tecumseh, MI
Splotchy and unsmooth application. Assumed i was not good at applying this type of stain. Sent to my sister, who uses this stain. She applied several different times and determined that something was wrong with this particular tube, as hers has always gone on very smoothly.
Robind from St. Louis, MO
It definitely did not stay on… It was off within 2 hours.
Swan from undisclosed
I love this lip stain! It's comfortable and the color is beautiful. I think I might marry it, lol.
Heather LA from Ohio
I loved the color and I wanted to love the product, but this is essentially a matte lip gloss. It is absolutely NOT a lip stain by any means. I love true lip stains, as they are more like markers and stay on all day, aren't transferred onto other items, but this does rub off, just like any other lipstick or lip gloss would. So disappointing.
Danni from Hawaii
The stain did not do its job. I usually love Buxom products and this stain was disappointing. I purchased two colors and neither worked out. I wish I would have returned it because it will sit in my drawer until I throw it away.
Maris from Illinois
I really love the color of this lip stain, it's so pretty! But it does not seem to plump my lips at all, and the color doesn't stain my lips too much either. It's still so pretty and I like wearing it but I probably won't repurchase.
