Review and Swatches - Sephora Collection Lip Products

Sephora Collection Color Lip Last in Brown is Back - I have been a big fan of the Sephora Collection Color Lip Last products. They have a great color payoff, awesome longevity and they are set at a reasonable $13. With the 90's Makeup revival in full swing I thought I'd try out their popular brown shade "Brown is Back" it is described as a pinky light brown, of course your lip color will play a factor in determining the final shade. This color is a perfect mix of brown and pink. Overall I have two issues with the Sephora Color Lip Last lipsticks. First, prepping your lips and using a lip liner (Picture above is the Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Lip Liner in Natural) is a must to help keep the product from spreading. Secondly, even with the most gentle application the lipstick tends to break easily and stars rotating within the tube. A lip brush would be the ideal application.

Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Classic Beige - I am a huge fan of lip stains. If a brand has any type of lip stain product I am the first in line to try them out! In my opinion for the Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain you either Love 'em or you Hate 'em. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan. I must admit the pigmentation on these stains are great. "Classic Beige" is described as a matte pinkish deep beige. I fell in love with color and wished it worked out. I prepped my lip with various lip balms and primers to see if maybe it was the products I was using beforehand. The lip stain was quite uncomfortable to wear. After it completely dried it settled into lip lines that I did not even know I had. What are your thoughts on the Sephora Cream Lip Stains?
