Palladio Lip Stain in Orchid Initial Reaction.
Very pigmented. Much darker than expected. I was expecting the light lavender color of the packaging, I'm not sure if it is the pigmentation of the product or that my lips are very pink on their own which tends to change the color of all the lip products that I wear. It turned a bright fushia color on me which I really really liked but wasn't what I purchased it for.
How's the staying power?
Four hours and one large sonic vanilla dr pepper later, the color is still there. Not as vibrient but there. It looks like, after four hours, more what I expected it to look like when I first applied it.
It claims not to dry out your lips.
But don't they all? This one comes the close though. I've tried Benfit's benetint, tarte's cheek & lip stain, and cover girl's new lip stain just to name a few. Tarte's is definatly the best as far as hydration goes, it is more of a gel consistancy so it's kind of a given. This one is definatly cheaper and more portable though. I do believe that this does not dry out my lips, but, left to their own device, my lips will be partched so gloss is a must. I would suggest a gloss over any lip stain for hydration's sake anyways. Although for me nothing saved my lips from covergirl's drying effects...it was a no go.
Over all I think its a 4 out of 5 stars It's a great product and very affordable but I don't like not knowing what color I am really getting until I get home, know what I mean? My main gripe with "drugstore" cosmetics is just that... put out a freaking tester already!
What do you think? Have you tried this brand? This lip stain? What are your thoughts on it? Share your experiance. Did I leave anything out of this review that I should cover next time?
