Silly me thought that the liquid end of this duo was a gloss, so when I couldn't scrub off the swatch on the back of my hand, I was befuddled. Turns out it is a shimmery stain meant to act as a base coat for the creamy berry hued lipstick.

This duo is a bit of a win-lose situation. I really like the creamy textured lipstick but don't I don't care for the lipstain. Applied on its own, the stain barely changes the colour of my pigmented lips and has very poor staying power (approximately 2 hours). Unlike Lise Watier's Hydra Shine Lipstains, this product was drying to my lips making them cry out for a coating of the creamy lipstick. Worn over the lipstick as a seal, it takes away the luscious slip of the lipstick and decreases the longevity. 

On the other hand, the lipstick end is a perfect daywear berry colour that doesn't settle into dry lips. I wouldn't say it is moisturizing but it is certainly smooth and luminous. Have you experienced anything from this line?
