Sephora Cream Lip Stain (New Shades)

I have a few of the original Sephora Cream Lip Stain colors for years now and they are one of my favorite formulas for liquid matte lipsticks.  In general, they are non-drying, stay on for 6-8+ hours without weird peeling, and super comfortable.  I do find that the middle wears off faster than the rest, so it can leave that lip liner look at times, but it does re-apply really well without flaking off or anything.  Also, unlike some of the more liquidy formulas out this, this one is more whipped and absolutely does not bleed and you don't need a lip liner unless you want to.  The only con up until now was the very limited shade range available.

When I heard that they released more shades and now have 40 shades, I immediately went online and chose the shades I thought would be ones I would want to try - 23 Copper Blush and 24 Burnt Sienna.  Just like the other colors in this formula, I do not find these too drying, but it does stay on for the 6-8+ hours with normal eating and drinking.

I got in my Sephora box this morning and I did choose right!  Both colors are beautiful and in the neutral undertones I gravitate towards.

The first one I tried is 24 - Burnt Sienna.  It's the darkest of the three shades and even though it's called Burnt Sienna, it's more berry in color than anything else, especially on my lips.

The shade 23 in Copper Blush is the perfect natural dark mauve-blush color I love.  The color does dry down to a darker shade than that in the tube, so just be aware that the color on the tube is not the color that ends up on your lips.

Overall, I highly recommend any shade really in the Sephora Cream Lip Stain line.  They are all opaque with one pass and end up staying on for most of the day without too much fuss.

The wear time so far is just like the others I had and the formula feels exactly the same.  It was slightly patchy on the first pass, but swiping the wand over it again evened it out pretty easily.  Only one dip was needed to cover my entire mouth and I love it.
