Amazon →Stylevana →SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
KATE Lip Monster applies like a balm but stains like a tint, leaving pigment that stays fairly well even after the glossy film fades. It's long-wearing but not transfer-proof, and the glossy layer can vanish during the day, leaving lips feeling dry and needing reapplication. One creator calls it great for dry lip girlies, but notes it won't fix very flaky chapped lips.
