I picked up some of the Maybelline in Mauve Dream because I love stains, but they dry out my lips and I love gloss, but it never stays. This product promises to give you the color of the stain with the look of gloss.
In the end, I think the glossy look is there right when you put it on, but it goes away quickly. The color, however, does stay put for a while, but once you eat lunch...it's gone. I love the color of this stain both when I first apply it and when it wears off a little.
Given the fact that I'm a teacher and talk all day long, I need something that will stay put. This stain gloss certainly does. I recommend trying it, they have lots of really pretty colors.
