Customer Reviews of Vincent Longo Vincent Longo Lip & Cheek Gel Stain - Neo Aura, .25 ozCustomer Review: The search is over! (A comparison review) Summary: 5 Stars
After digging through many reviews and trying many products (a very disheartening project) I have found a great lip stain! I knew it was possible, that a product could truly stain the lip and last a long time. I used Revlon's Just Bitten (Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm, Passion 0.14 Ounces) with the lip balm on one end first and it definitely stained and stuck... but the drying was ridiculous, leading to my skin to just peel off (very unattractive). In the effort to keep my lips hydrated I must've clogged the pen because they only worked a few times and then I could hardly get anything out of them! Big bummer! So I vowed not to try any others that were in the pen format, even though the application was so precise and convenient.
I ordered Garden Botanica's lip/cheek stain (Garden Botanika Lip & Cheek Stain, Cherry, 0.09-Ounce Boxes) and liked it as a moisturizing lip balm, but the stay power isn't quite what I wanted. I did like it as cheek stain, though, and as something to put over other lip stains that dried out my lips too much.
I also tried Benetint (Benefit Cosmetics Benetint) in a department store, but the price tag was too large for something so subtle that only comes in one color! It did last awhile, it seems, but it was so subtle it's hard to tell... still I'd say the second best I tried.
Also sampled the tarte giant lip stain crayons (tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain, joy 1 ea) in Sephora, and while they moisturized and felt great, I didn't buy one because the stain felt like it would slip right off.
I ordered the Nars lip gloss style one (Moon Fleet / Indian Red Lip Gloss - Lip Stain Gloss), also a highly rated stain, but found it to be nothing more than a really pretty gloss. It didn't stick to my lips at all. I'd kiss my fiance and he'd turn red, even if I tried to dab off extra. So back to Sephora went that one. Great gloss, but not stain at all.
So I broke down, shelled out the cash and got a few shades of Vincent Longo Lip/Cheek Stain. I was hesitant to because all the websites I comparison shopped at represented the colors very differently. Amazon doesn't do a great job of representing the colors either, and two of the colors I tried they don't even sell here. But of the colors I tried, the best representation of the true color is the one from Vincent Longo's website, so I'd recommend looking there to see what color you want. I got Liquid Kiss, a pinkish red, My Sunshine, a bright red with a slight hint of orange and Neo Aura which looked brown when I put some on my wrist but on my lips is sort of a subtle red-brown.
They feel great on, the watery application allows you to dab on a little at a time. The colors are somewhat difficult to put on extremely lightly so if you want something really subtle Benetint might be better. I'm sure some of the other colors are subtler, though, I just prefer redder shades. There is also a slight taste/smell of vanilla, which I find very pleasant. There is a slight drying, but as another reviewer said, nothing like the other brands. Really, I'm not sure if it dries or if it just doesn't moisturize like other glosses/balms. A little clear gloss over it does the trick for me and I have really dry lips this time of year.
If you have given up on trying to find a good lip stain, don't! Try this one! It really is fabulous and although it is a little more expensive, it looks like it'll last awhile because the formula is very thin and a little goes a long way.
