Sephora Lip Stain Liners - don’t sleep on this product! 👄
Wow, wow, and just wow! As someone who has been on the hunt for the perfect, long-lasting lip liners and has tried many, these are by far the BEST LIP LINERS I have tried so far. I prefer these even to my Huda Beauty, NYX lip liners etc. (I love Huda beauty products, but these take the 🎂) read on to find out why.
Sephora collection lip stain liners in 13 ‘Marvelous Mauve’ and 40 ‘Pink Tea’
Description:
From Sephora’s website: 'The SEPHORA COLLECTION Lip Stain Liner is a long-wear lip pencil. Its tapered tip helps you define your lips with unbelievable precision. The added bonus: its retractable applicator keeps the tip in perfect shape for longer.
I chose shades 13 ‘Marvelous Mauve’ and 40 ‘Pink Tea’.
Ingredients:
13 MARVELOUS MAUVE

Price:
13.90 CHF each.
Appearance and consistency:
Each lip liner contains 0.27 g of product, which is a decent amount for a lip liner. Shade 13 is a pink shade which gives more colour to my lips, and shade 40 is a darker, brownish colour which is closer to my natural lip colour and mimics shadows to give a plumping effect.
The liners are creamy, soft and so comfortable on the skin, they don’t drag or feel sharp. Unlike the NYX lip liners that have been going viral on social media, I found those cumbersome to sharpen, and they feel very dry and uncomfortable on the lips. After sharpening the NYX liners, I unfortunately feel like they drag and poke my lips instead.
Scent :
No scent 😌
My experience:
These lip stain liners are a dream to apply, and they do not budge. I repeat, they do not budge. They leave a stain as claimed, and even after 6 hours of wear, eating, drinking and walking around in warm weather, I was pleasantly surprised to see the lip liner still there at the end of the day!
I can’t believe they performed better than my Huda beauty lip liner, NYX liners, essence and catrice liners. Let me know in the comments if you would like a comparison review of any of those.
Why I 💖 it:
Three main reasons, scratch that, five:
It is LONG-LASTING
The liners lasted for the whole day! Even after eating, drinking, and walking around in warm weather.
The PRICE 💸
Very affordable compared to other high-end liners that are over 20 CHF, and performs even better!
The COMFORT
The liner glides, it is soft, creamy and feels comfortable.
Its RETRACTABLE
You can twist the bottom of the liner to push the product up, and you can twist to reverse this and push the product back down. Not all lip liners do this, and I enjoy this convenience a lot.
The SHADE RANGE
There are 20 shades available.
Why it 😔’s:
There is only one small downside I can see - is that it lacks a built-in sharpener to ensure that the lip liner stays sharp for precise application. Although the retractable function helps a bit, its not as precise as compared to having a sharpener, similar to the liners by essence, catrice and Huda Beauty.
Final verdict
9 ⭐ out of 10!
Don’t sleep on this product, it is so underrated yet exceeds expectations on performance, price, comfort, longevity and shade range.
