Even better than Sephora's long lasting lip stain; the best I've experienced thus far. Product Info:
Other good lip stains/colors are:
--Loreal: http://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Paris-Infallible-Lipcolour-Rosebud/dp/B001H925S8/ref=sr_1_21?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1342637381&sr=1-21&keywords=loreal+lips
--Maybelline: this one is more liquid, which layers well over Stila or Loreal for additonal options: http://www.amazon.com/Maybelline-Superstay-Gloss-Stain-Heaven/dp/B007WRV9XG/ref=sr_1_15?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1342637532&sr=1-15&keywords=maybelline
NOTE: The Maybelline ships with 2 included...it's not $24 per.

This review covers two Stila Long Wear Lip Color crayons--Adorable and Paramour.ADORABLE
Color: Pale peachy nude. It is actually lighter than my natural lip color.
Swatch accuracy: I did not find the color swatch on the Amazon product page to be accurate for this color. The swatch makes the color look a good bit darker than it actually is.
Finish: Matte. I detect no shimmer, sparkle or glossiness in this color.
Feel: Quite smooth and not tacky or sticky. A little drying over time.
Fragrance: A moderate crayon-like scent. Not perfumy.
PARAMOUR
Color: Wine/pomegranate. For me, the color appears darker in the stick than on my lips, but then my lips may be more pigmented than the average.
Swatch accuracy: I found the color swatch on the Amazon product page to be fairly accurate for this color. However, as noted above, it appears lighter on my lips than what it appears in the stick.
Finish: Matte. I detect no shimmer, sparkle or glossiness in this color.
Feel: A bit tackier than and not as smooth as Adorable. More drying.
Fragrance: A mild crayon-like scent. Not perfumy.
GENERAL:
Made in the USA.
Twist-up crayon-type application but with rounded vs. pointed tip.
Easy to apply accurately.
Considered long wear (but I'm not sold on that yet).
As a "woman of a certain age," I find that these lip colors (esp. the darker colors), when worn alone (without gloss), show every line in my lips. I love their easy application and petite size for carrying in my purse, but prefer to wear gloss over them (or lip balm under them) for comfort and added moisture.
3 stars when worn alone.
4 stars when worn with gloss or balm.
3 1/2 stars average.
