NYX Epic Ink Lip Dye ~ Blazed 12

Awww Yissss! I love a great, long lasting lip stain

I LOOOOOOVE this lip stain. This is a true winner! I am an avid Lip Stain / Dye user. I have looked all over websites and in makeup stores for a good lip stain that lasts a long time. Epic Ink Lip Dye has stood up to my tests of: licking the lips, eating, drinking and trying to remove with a paper towel and water / soap. It stays on well. It goes on smooth and is light as air.<br />1) Yes this will dry your lips ( my best suggestion is to exfoliate your lips first, apply stain, let dry and top with a gloss or chapstick)<br />2) This stuff has A LOT of pigment. ( I bought two colors, this and a darker shade and I will have to return the darker shade because the color was actually much darker than the tube depicted)<br />3) I'm pretty sure this will remove easily with coconut oil / make up remover / or facial cleanser. A regular soap and water routine will take off some but not all of the product.<br />4) You want staying power? You've got it with this stuff. I put this on ( one coat ) this morning, and have successfully drank my coffee, had lunch and re applied chapstick over the product a few times and it still looks great.<br /><br />I will tell you this.. I didn't buy this on Amazon. I got it at my local make up store ( The one with the white and orange logo ) for 6.99 each. I cannot justify buying this on here when I can essentially get two of these at the store for what they're selling here. Also I can return it much quicker if it is the wrong shade / color.<br /><br />NYX you've got me hooked.. thanks for the great product!
