These Lip Stains that Karen has made for us ......are the BEST I have had Thank You Karen!! So I thought we could post our Lip Stain color and the gloss, balm or lipstick that we topped it with and what we got in the outcome.

I'll go 1st. Gigi topped with Zinna = the most bright pink coral lip....BEAUTIFUL!!

My go-to this weekend was Doll topped with Creampuff. It wasn't subtle, but we were away for the weekend, and it was nice because I could keep the rest of my look really simple. Gigi also got some attention- again topped with Creampuff because I washed the rest of the colors (it seriously bummed me out- I had visions of wearing Blaze for a lot of the weekend).

I can't believe how long Gigi lasts- it's actually the least pigmented of the bunch, but it seems to go forever on me.

Try Dixie with Zinnia: Orange explosion!

Dixie + Blaze makes for a gorgeous orange red with some shine.
Doll (or Gigi) + Crazy Love - fantastic cool pink.

That's it so far, I have to keep playing with them. The boyfriend is getting used to seeing me in three or four different and pretty wild combos during weekend days: sweats, hair in a bun and POW lipstick

Egerandi...thanks for the tip of Dixie and Zinna. I did Gigi and Shrieking Violet today. FUN, FUN, FUN LIPS!!

I wore Gigi and Creampuff yesterday and loved the combination!

Ladybug, that Creampuff is great with Roxie too!! I got a brown-plum shimmer lip today with this combo. Creampuff has just the right shimmer to it.

Does anybody have pics of Roxie with Blaze? Or Roxie with Glacier? I am so intrigued!

Thanks,
Laurie

I am sooooo excited about these lipstains!!!! I'm an admitted lipstain junky and have tried them all - from the expensive "sephora" brands like vincent longo (a favorite in Babydoll and I'm thinking Silk naturals Doll might be a good dupe) and Lorac, to drugstore brands like Covergirl and Revlon. My favorite FOTD is mineral foundation, a generous helping of mascara, maybe a little climax blush which I use almost like a bronzer (fair skin), and a good strong lipstain with a little cherry chapstick on top. Then I usually keep a Bitten or Nectar lippie in my bag to sweep on during the day.

I was actually about to login and add a post to the suggestion forum for a matte lipstain like Tarte's! I couldn't believe it when I saw that there were lipstains added to the site! Just ordered all 4 and can't wait to try them

Anybody have swatches of them on??

Thanks!!!
Emily
