A ton of lip product swatches!
I have collected far too many lip products over the last two years!! Don’t worry - I am fully committed to project pan now.
I decided to take swatches so I can figure out which ones I can declutter (and to have an inventory of my collection so I’m not tempted to break my current no-buy).
For reference: I have a light, cool-neutral skin tone. Photos were taken next to a window with my indoor lights also on. Except photos 2-4 which are without indoor lighting.
Happy to answer any questions about products!
Pic 1: Lip Liners
Maybelline Ink Crayon (Stay Exceptional)
Rimmel (Pink Candy)
Buxom (Dangerous Dolly)
Sacheu (Plumped)
Revlon (Mink)
Covergirl Lip Stain (20 Admire)
Covergirl Lip Stain (35 Canyon)
Notes: Longest lasting are Sacheu (you let it dry and peel off, but it’s hard to apply precisely with the applicator), Revlon (drier formula), and Maybelline (takes some time to dry down but then doesn’t budge).

Judydoll Watery Lip Gloss (11 Grape Shake)
Peripera Water Bare Tint (08 Pure Pink)
Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint (05 Cherry So What)

Laka Fruity Glam Mini (113 Pleasure)

rom&nd Glasting Melting Balm (09 Peonies)

Pic 3: Korean Lip Tints
rom&nd Dewyful Water Tint (08 Berry Divine)
rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint (28 Bare Fig)
Lilybyred Bloody Liar Coating Tint (05 Talented Peach)
ETUDE Fixing Tint (05 Midnight Mauve)
ETUDE Fixing Tint (10 Smoky Cherry)
ETUDE Fixing Tint (15 Woody Pink)
Notes: Etude Fixing Tints are my favourite! They’re matte but not drying/annoying on the lips. The others are glossier.
Pic 4: More Lip Tints / Stains
Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink (Coy)
Maybelline SuperStay Teddy Tint (Pinky Promise)
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil (Hope)
Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink (Lover)
Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain (85 Rosewood)
Covergirl Clean Fresh Jelly Water Tint (Mulberry Melts)
Covergirl Clean Fresh Jelly Water Tint (Raspberry)
Notes: Pretty sure something is off with my Vinyl Ink. It isn’t as saturated in colour as videos I’ve seen. I shake the heck out of it too 🤷🏻♀️ Love all of the others. The Jelly Water Tints feel the lightest (I forget they’re on!) and last the longest. You can build the colour up a lot.

Notes: I really like these. They come with a clear balm you can reapply throughout the day to make colour last longer and keep lips moisturized. When applying, don’t rub lips together or close your mouth until the lipstick is fully dry. Then apply gloss.
Pic 6: NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain
Bubblegum Burst
Cranberry Splash
Hydra-Honey
Notes: As you can see, the stains of these colours look pretty much identical. You can wear these without wiping away, but they get stuck on my teeth easily since it’s a thick formula. Very hydrating though! Coconut scent.

Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (07)
Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (17)
Kate Tokyo Lip Monster (CP02)
Clinique (Black Honey)
Tom Ford Mini (19 Runway Rose)
Notes: The Kate Tokyo Lip Monsters last forever!! Wish I got more when I was in Japan. They don’t feel heavy on the lips at all. No makeup remover or oil cleanser would get them off my arm, and I didn’t even leave them on long before wiping.
