“If you wait for like 5 minutes, you'll be left with a beautiful stain. Or you can wear these like a gloss and then you'll still be left with a stain after you eat”50:05–50:09
“These are absolutely phenomenal. They feel so moisturizing and so beautiful on your lips, which is another point for them because a lot of lip stains dry out your lips”50:12–50:22
“Your lips actually feel hydrated when you wipe it off. Zero complaints about these. Love them”50:22–50:29

“The most perfect, subtle, but like longwearing lip stain. So good”13:32–13:41

4Variant: Hydra Honey

“The nice thing about this is that it's a gloss, but then it stains the lips as you're wearing it. So, again, a really nice staining product that is going to give you color, but a lasting tint”

Brand note

NYX is the drugstore brand that shows up when creators want affordable, functional makeup with actual shade options. The Wonder Snatch Lifting Setting Powder gets the most talk — it's mattifying and smoothing, but the tiny .2 oz size makes it expensive per ounce, and some find it gives flashback or doesn't control oil all day. The brand's lip stains also get consistent love for longevity and precision. Overall, NYX is a solid go-to for budget-friendly basics, but you have to watch the value on some products.
