Hello JFOG Readers! I have another review and lip swatch post. I hope that you are enjoying these and are finding them helpful. The Sephora Collection lip stains are matte liquid lip stains that come in 15 colors ranging from brights to nudes to darks and they retail for $13 each. I have swatched 7 of the colors from the 2015 collection and one of the lip colors is from the 2014 collection (discontinued), but I included it so that you can see how it compares to the new shades. I have also included my overall thoughts and favorites at the bottom of this post.
Always Red 01
This was my very first sephora cream lip stain. A classic red that looks great on nearly everyone. (Paired with OCC NSFW liner)
Whipped Blush 08
Bright pink shade, similar to MAC Candy YumYum
(Paired with MAC Magenta)
Watermelon slice 09
Coral-pink tone, a unique shade
(Paired with MAC Magenta)
African Violet 12
a lilac shade, similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2 but it pulls more pink.
(Paired with MAC CyberWorld liner)
Marvelous Mauve 12
This is a close dupe for Stila Patina. I usually don't like colors like this because they are brown based and I have brown skin so they tend to wash me out, especially if I pair it with a brown liner. A co-worker and fellow brown girl suggested that I pair it with MAC Currant and it totally works!

Endless Purple 04
one of the shades from the 2014 collection, a berry color
(Paired with MAC CyberWorld)
Blackberry Sorbet 14
Similar to MAC Sin. It is a deep wine shade
(Paired with MAC CyberWorld liner)
Polished Purple 15
True purple, more metallic than MAC Smoked Purple and deeper than Makeup Forever no. 15
(Paired with MAC Cyber world liner)
Overall Thoughts/Favorites:
These are long wearing and very pigmented. They dry quickly and are completely matte. A little product goes a long way, thus I expect that the product will last for a while. I am able to layer these colors to make them even brighter and you can also layer the stains on top of each other to create ombre effects. I love these lip stains, as the range is diverse, thus there is something suitable for all skin tones and the price is right, particularly in comparison to high end lip stains of similar quality (Kat Von D and Stila). I would definitely recommend these to everyone!
My favorites are Always Red, Watermelon Slice, and Marvelous Mauve. Which are your favorites? Do you own any of these or are they on your makeup wish list? Please let me know in the comments section below. I love hearing from you all. Please stay tuned for additional reviews from the lipstick chronicles as I have been stocking up on lip colors!
