Detail Cosmetics Glass Stain (shade: Naked)
I was not satisfied with my matte lip color. I wanted something glossy. It's nice I found Detail's Glass Stain which is probably the most affordable legit lip gloss-stain on the shopping site I use.
It has a high coverage gloss upon fresh application and it looks really pretty. The gloss itself doesn't hold long but it leaves a sheer stain. The shine however persists even after the gloss which I like. The consistency is a little watery and it has a slight cooling effect on the lips.
It's lightweight, but for me, it feels a bit drying especially in the inner lip parts. It also stains unevenly. The glossy high coverage finish barely lasts an hour. The stain on the other hand lasts up to four hours. Eating or drinking will ruin the stain however.
When doing research, I found a couple reviews saying the lip product stinks. But when I received it, it smelled really nice like candy. Two months later, I found that its sweet candy smell started to smell more like chemical margarine. I sniffed it too much one time which gave me a headache. This scared me since I didn't want it to go to waste. I would not have saved it from frequent in hopes of preserving it for special occasions had I known that it would eventually start to stink.
