REVIEW! | NYC New York Color Smooch Proof 16HR Lip Stain in Persistent Pink

NYC New York Color Smooch Proof 16HR Lip Stain in Persistent Pink
NYC New York Color Smooch Proof 16HR Lip Stain in Persistent Pink is a bright warm-toned pink.  This will look a little differently on everyone based on your natural lip color.

It has a really nice finish; it's not glossy but it's not matte.  It's surprisingly not drying, which is saying something coming from a lip balm junkie!  I didn't even have to slick on a coat of balm after I applied this to make it comfortable.  It felt lightweight and wasn't remotely sticky or tacky.  The felt-tipped marker applicator was super easy to use and the stain applied evenly.  It had a faintly fruity scent that faded shortly after I swiped it on, and it's flavor-free.

The BIG question: did it last 16 hours?  Um...no.  Does anything?  Not that I've found!  I was only able to eek out 3 hours of wear before the stain seemed to have completely vanished.  It did pass the kiss test, though; not a speck of color was transferred.  I didn't notice any transfer on the glass of water I sipping, either.

Although this stain didn't stand up to it's outrageous claim of roof-raising 16 hour color, it was comfortable to wear and applied like a dream.

My Rating: B+
Cost: $4.99 MSRP
Where to Buy: CVS, Duane Reade, Drugstore.com, Rite Aid, Target, Walmart
