    Essence$4.99
    Hydra Kiss Lip Tintshade · 01 Blushing Nude
    • I would categorize this as having medium to full pigmentation27:21
    • I felt like even though it was more of a serum texture, it was very opaque on the lips27:24
    • It also has a very nice everyday finish27:28
    • It gives good hydration on the lips
    • I could wear this by itself. I could wear it with a lip liner27:38
    • This one oxidizes unfortunately
    • On that first application, I did notice that this went slightly into the lip lines of the center of my bottom lip28:09
    • I kind of smooshed my lips together and blend it out with my fingers. It goes away pretty easily28:30
    • I was pretty happy with the fade of this one28:52
    • The lips felt like I could use some lip balm, but it didn't feel like dehydrated or anything28:54
    • I did notice a tiny bit of a weird fading on the inside of my lips
    • I feel like the staining power on this one was really, really great30:34
    • I definitely think this is worth the price30:56
    • It is going to be the one that's the most inexpensive out of the bunch, but I think it's the one that performed the best, you guys30:58
    • If what you're looking for is a glossy lip stain or staining product in general, this one definitely reigns supreme compared to the other ones31:29
  2. @bykristinastudio reviewing Urban Decay Lip Toy Lip Oil at 22:52 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The actual pigmentation, I would say, is pretty sheer as well
    • This does feel like a true lip oil
    • Something that feels like it has a little bit of thickness, but hydration behind it21:42
    • I do think that the feel of this was very, very comfortable22:52
    • I thought it was really nice on the lips and the color, it was a very natural, very pretty color22:54
    • I think that this was probably the best fade out of the bunch24:52
    • There was no emphasis on my lip lines anywhere25:02
    • It didn't look extremely dry25:08
    • There was no weird transition fade to this
    • I felt like this felt very hydrating as it was actively on my lips, I thought it was very comfortable in that sense25:27
    • I don't think it's worth the price
    • I think that this is first and foremost a lip oil that has the benefits of a stain26:06
    • This is something that I could just reach for really easily, throw in my bag and not have to fuss with26:48
    • Even though it was more of a sheer stain, it still did what it said it was going to do27:00
  3. @bykristinastudio reviewing Gucci Oil-in-Water Lip Stain at 15:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Gucci$61.00
    • I really like the texture of this. I think that it goes on very nicely and exactly what I would be looking for from a more luxury lip stain15:12
    • This goes on feeling like water. It feels like you're putting thick water on your lips and it feels very thin at the same time15:22
    • When you rub your lips together, it surprisingly feels very substantial like a lip oil15:34
    • I really loved though how this looks slightly glossy without being overly shiny16:59
    • It almost looks like you're looking at the color through a glass, you know, like it looks glassy and shiny, but you have a little bit of that watercolor type look when it comes to the pigmentation17:08
    • I thought it was really, really beautiful17:20
    • I didn't have a lot of transfer. If anything, just the shine was transferring. The gloss aspect of it was transferring, but none of the pigment was transferring onto the cup, which I thought was really impressive17:38
    • For the second check-in, I really did not like the way that it was settling on the inside of my lips18:11
    • It made my lips look super dry and crusty, even though they didn't feel like it18:24
    • The third check-in, it looked way better, like scores better than the second check-in18:40
    • The entire lip was totally stained and it looked really, really pretty. Actually, it looked like it could be a natural flush of color on my lips18:57
    • I thought this was probably the prettiest it had worn throughout the entire day19:08
    • Do I think that this is worth the price? Absolutely not. It's so expensive, you guys20:17
    • I feel like there are so many glossy lip stains on the market that would outperform this, to be honest with you20:23
  4. @bykristinastudio reviewing fwee Lock'n Line Lip Contour Stain at 08:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    fwee$12.00
    • I liked the marker tip. I really enjoy how sharp the point is and how the marker tip is on the skinnier side in general7:59
    • I do find that super usable and I also think that the ink flowed really well8:26
    • I feel like the coverage though is very, very sheer
    • If a product is too sheer and you can see my natural lip lines underneath, it just ruins the illusion and it doesn't look as natural9:03
    • I feel like it applied a little bit streaky9:22
    • On the lips, it actually turns a bit more red. It oxidizes to more of a red tone, which is really interesting
    • The first check-in, it stayed in place really well11:09
    • It did last a really long time
    • After everything had kind of faded, it was very obvious that I had an outline of a lip stain on. And that's not my favorite look11:29
    • By the third check-in, I didn't really have anything to report because at this point it had fully faded
    • The shade itself was pretty much a miss on my part because again, I was really hoping for something similar to the swatch right here, but it just turned way too red on me12:24
    • I wouldn't really suggest this for you guys
  5. @bykristinastudio reviewing LAKA Stain Lip Liner Contour at 03:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    LAKA$16.00
    Stain Lip Linershade · 07 Espresso Temper
    • It is a very, very creamy lip liner
    • It has a lot of blendability to it
    • While you can blend it out, it doesn't get streaky. It doesn't get patchy or anything2:54
    • I do think it may affect the longevity a little bit here
    • I do think that it applied really nicely and I had no complaints there3:40
    • For the first check-in, this was after I ate lunch, and honestly, it was pretty much all gone except for the bottom lip4:28
    • I will say that the fade on this was very nice and smooth6:00
    • The fading started quickly
    • This acts exactly like a lip liner7:06
    • If what you're looking for is a lip liner stain, then this is not going to be something that I would consider is worth it7:10
    • This doesn't feel like it has any film formers on it like some longwear lip liners have. So even then I feel like it's kind of lacking there7:29
