The Inks Blur Liquid Lipstick (202)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster and YSL Beauty in exchange for my honest review.
YSL The Inks Blurring Matte Lip Stain provides creamy buildable coverage that lasts several hours. What I like most about this product is the unique angled applicator. The applicator makes it easy to get clean edges and a crisp cupid’s bow. I’m not sure if this lasts the full 12-hours as advertised but it can last most of the day. I’d apply after breakfast and the lip stain would still be on after lunch and dinner. Oily foods can break up the formula a little bit. I strongly recommend exfoliating your lips prior to use, perhaps even moisturize. I found that I had similar results wearing this with or without lipliner. The formula does have a little bit of tack to it, this might be reduced by not pressing your lips together until fully dry. I found the packaging super cute and very unique. The packaging is classy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing mate lipstick. The texture is so soft and smooth which helps the color spread evenly on lip. The color is transferred while drinking or eating but still leave beautiful stain which I really like. The package is luxury mate material which doesn’t leave fingerprints on it. Very pigmented on the lip. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My honest review in exchange for free product- First I want to say, I LOVE the color. It is super pretty for everyday and I was looking for something like this. I would describe my skin tone as light olive, and it was a nice neutral pinkish mauve. I was also happy with the wear time, although it got sticky when I tried to layer it. It was not totally transfer proof but also did not slip around. I did feel the need to apply lip balm after a while as it was a bit drying. The scent is pretty and inoffensive. Surprisingly, my favorite aspect is the applicator! I wish more lip products had this. It is a unique, luxe shape that makes application easy. I would recommend this overall but be careful with layering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying this lip stain! First of all, the packaging is absolutely adorable - it's so cute and compact. The applicator took some getting used to, but it worked ok. The color is gorgeous - a beautiful mauve shade that complements my skin tone perfectly. The formula is quite thick, which I liked because it provided great coverage. While the stain claims to last 12 hours, I didn't quite get that kind of wear time. However, it did last a decent amount of time, and I was happy with it. Overall, I'd recommend this lip stain to anyone looking for a pretty, long-lasting color. Just don't expect it to last the full 12 hours!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the color rosewood emotion and i love the color!! It’s the perfect pink and the packaging is beautiful. It does have an interest scent when you first apply it, like some sort of sweet wine. The formula is super creamy and buttery but dries semi - matte. Personally, it isn’t what I am used to and felt a little sticky for a matte finish which i wasn’t a big fan of. BUT!!! It does look blurring and is definitely transferred proof. I did a napkin test and there was no transfer AT ALL! I added a bit of gloss over it to help with the sticky feeling but overall, i do recommend giving it a try since it is long lasting and looks beautiful if you’re going for the matte look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so incredibly in love with matte lip stain. I always go for bright red but I’m glad I gave it a switch up. There is a little bit of transfer when your lips get wet color definitely stays on for hours. The packaging is elegant. The brush feels amazing on my lips. I love the flat angle it is very useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite lipstick! The applicator brush is at an angle making it very easy to apply. The color is perfect for everyday wear, I like to put a clear lip oil over it for some shine. Definitely a new staple!
