I love lip stains! You apply them in the early AM and hours later the same lip color is still vibrant, and perfectly in place. I have to say, I've tried my fare share of lip stains and most dry out lips, cause feathering and chapping. It's a challenge to find a beauty gem that also provides "wow" color to brighten up a glooming, rainy day!

This spring, I've discovered the perfect hot pink to heat up the freezing weather and bring out Spring, at least in my makeup.

Givenchy Printed Lips Tinted Lip Stainer is a richly pigmented tint that goes on smoothly and with great accuracy. My advice: apply SLOWLY! If you color outside of the lip line, make sure you have a Q-tip handy and possibly some makeup remover. But you don't have to be a fabulous artist to get the job done right.

The secrets to this beauty buy? This lip stain goes on matte and utilizes a felt-tip lip pen that delivers the stain. It immediately saturates the lips with lasting, beautiful and bright spring color. This lovely lip color is available in Rose Impression and Pink Impression.

If you brush your teeth or wash your face and need to re-apply, which often causes lip stains to fade, this easy-to-apply lip stain fits in the smallest purse or makeup case for reapplication on the go, if needed.

What's your spring lip must-have? Is it a lipstick, lip stain or lip gloss? Tell us about it!!!
