Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Mulberry

Anyway, I frankly don't get why would they market it as a lip stain as it's nothing like the stains I normally use, which are usually bright, sheer and adhere well on the lips (God forbid it's called " Lip stain"!) .First, the texture of the Laura Mercier lip stain is very much like a creamy lipstick that melts as soon as a brush/finger tips touches it. I know there are several high-end lipsticks are creamy and malleable enough that a tiny bit spread on the entire lips is sufficient for a nice tint. Well, I ensure you, this is not YSL...

In fact, the creamy consistency reminds me of Wet n Wild Silk Finish lipstick called dark wine... (Nothing against you Laura, as Wet n Wild makes some great lip products once you forgive the waxy scent...But come on, those lipstick are a dollar a piece at regular retail price!)The second awkward thing about this "stain" is its color. Is it just me but...who in the world would want to stain their lips into brownish burgundy (aka the color of liver) ? I guess my somewhat sickly purple-toned lips could benefit a bit from the warmth but when I do smear it allover my lips...it just looks like soy sauce stain (the thing is that soy sauce would have a better staining power that this, which slide off right away).

So I guess Laura Mercier lip stain is the epic fail? Well, not entirely...While it offers no bright color, sheer finish or staying power...If you look at it as a lipstick. It is smooth, rich in color and gives a soft and smooth finish. (It's still a yucky color for me though...)Laura Mercier Lip stain with a layer of Milani Glitzy Glamour lip gloss in In Vogue...Yuck?

Overall it's still a decent lipstick (for grown-ups) for the price (3 dollars something along with a sharpener and shipping cost included, courtesy of this blog post . I would have blogged about this deal earlier if I actually like this product...) I find it very difficult to love it...

By the way, I just found out that a site similar to the one I fussed about earlier has been stealing my blog content for the past few months. It's not just taking pictures, or my text...In fact, that @$$hole (I couldn't find a name to address that person therefore I will just go with what I find most fitting. Excuse my language. ) is copying down the entire source codes into the site: My reviews, my spy cam trips my bandwidth etc... all into her site helping her to make profit through ads...

In case you can't tell, I was (still am) extremely furious so it might take a little while for me to calm down doing all those cleanup and reporting plagiarism through Google (If it happens to you, don't let it slip. You can modified/relocate your pictures and report infringing party to major search engine so they will not get indexed at all...) I think I am alright at the moment, just need to vent a little bit. Yeah, a bit...
