Trial Size Lip Kit $16.50 or free (more details on that below.)
If you trade in one of your previous long lasting lip colors they will recycle it at their local toxic waste site, and you'll get this trial kit for free! For more information on that visit http://www.freelipink.com/
You can also get a free kit on your birthday if you call and register!
If you purchase the trial kit the Lip Ink is available in almost 60 shades, but if you choose to trade in your old lipstick you can choose between two shades, Sandwood (beige muted light brown) or Rosewood (brown-blue sheer pink.)
Swatched, Sandwood appears much lighter than it does on the lips. This is two layers of Sandwood with one layer of shine moisturizer on top.
First use the Off Towelette to clean, and exfoliate lips. Then rinse lips and pat dry.
Massage a small amount of the shine moisturizer into lips, and let absorb.
Apply Lip Ink to lips, and let dry about 10 seconds between coats. I usually do 2-3 coats.
Apply Shine Moisturizer over the top for glossy lips, if you prefer matte lips skip this step.
Though this is "semi permanent lip color" I've found that it comes off whenever I brush my teeth.
I know toothpaste has been a long time tip from beauty gurus to remove lip stains, but I can't go that long without brushing my teeth--it would be a punishment to society.
The Lip Ink tingles A LOT when you first apply it, but the feeling stops after a while. Just something to note because I know some of you dislike that.

Overall, I unfortunately can't recommend Lip Ink because it just didn't last on me, but I am curious to try some of their Eye ShadowGels!

These sounds like a really neat product, and I love that they do the trade-in program! That's too bad it doesn't last through tooth-brushing, but I think I would be ok with it lasting between brushing my teeth!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great when companies do programs like that. :^)
DeleteYeah, I'm okay with applying, I just thought it's something everyone should know as it is marketed as a long wear product!
I'm quite wary of lip inks and stains as I always fidn them soooo drying!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly this one isn't drying!
DeleteWith a name like lip ink I was expecting it to be a deep lip stain. It looks surprisingly subtle in your swatch.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any pigment in your lips it will come off darker. :^) My lips are about medium pigment, and after I do 2-3 coats it comes off very dark on me!
DeleteSad to know that the Lip Ink stuff did not work out for you yes those eye shadows gel sure do sound interesting.

The idea of long wearing makeup is always appealing so appealing! :^)
Deletehavent tried any lip stains or inks for this reason i feel like they are all a waste of money... thnx for the honest review
ReplyDeleteThere are some good ones worth the money, I really like Stila's lip stains! :^)
DeleteThanks for reading.
Interesting, I don't think I've ever heard of semi-permanent lip color before!
ReplyDeleteNeither had I!
Deleteyeah, i'm not crazy on lip stains too. i find them a bit odd on my lips, like just foreign. maybe once i find a good one i might like it, but for now i'll stick to my lipsticks n glosses. btw, good job on finding unique products that i would never find in a gazillion years!
ReplyDeleteThe only lip stain I really like is from Stila! :^)
DeleteLip stains are tricky, and can look quite odd. Usually adding some gloss helps them to look a little less odd-- on me anyway!
Thanks Rica! :^)
