LUCRATIVE LIP GLOSS
Lucrative? Not sure why they chose this as the name of their gloss nonetheless it is a good product with a reasonable price tag. They are $15 each or 3 for $40. Really not a bad price. The glosses come in 10 colors. While I have to say I do like all of them my favorites are Lavish, Lethal, and Lovesick. They all give a decent amount of color with high shine just like you would expect from a gloss. They are not sticky or gooey which is always a plus and they compliment most of the liners Younique has to offer. They are also great worn alone. Glosses in general are not my personal favorite cause I like the dense color that lipstick gives but these are definitely my go to on days that I feel like wearing less or just want some extra shine.

MOODSTRUCK PRECSION LIP LINER
Liners go for the the same price as the gloss which I think is a good deal. You can also save and bundle on these too. First the good about the liners. The colors are vibrant. They go on smooth. Can be worn as matte lipstick (LOVE) or liner.They LAST all day and then some. Primal is my personal favorite. It is almost like a hot pink with a red undertone. I absolutely love to pair Primal with the Pristine Liner from the eye collection for the ombre look. The only thing that you have be careful about is making sure that your lips are not dry or cracked if you are gonna use the white liner... it will show... and make your lips look chunky and flaky which is not ever sexy or cute or ok... so if you have chapped lips do not fill them in with Pristine. The bad or just not so good... the lip liners come in a very limited selection and there are not many colors that suit me. But if there were... I'd probably buy them all.

STIFF UPPER LIP LIP STAIN
"Smudge-proof. Smooch-proof. Worry-free." Quite the claim! And also makes this product sound AMAZING! Which unfortunately I find that it is not. Although I have seen fantastic results on others it just doesn't work for me. I applied the first coat. Sultry was the color I used. It is stain so you have to expect that it will be watery... and it is. I found it hard to get it on evenly. More than that I found it hard to keep it contained and looking precise. But once I got it on... it looked GOOD! For a few minutes. In less than three minutes my lips had almost absorbed all of it and something about that just doesn't sit right with me. I mean all the color was gone... so the claim is half true. I didn't have to worry about kissing it off or smudging it because there was simply nothing there. Huge disappointment! So I put a second coat on... and had the same result. Third coat... slightly more color stayed. But lets be honest who wants to keep applying the same thing for mediocre results... oh and it costs $22 and for that price I expect it do a little more. Don't worry it is not a total waste. Urban Decay makes a fantastic lip liner called Ozone. It is a clear sort of base liner that goes great with a product like this. Apply Ozone first and you don't have to worry about feathering, it also lets you maintain a precise defined lip. I find with using Ozone first the color also lasts a little longer.
If you use any of these products let me know what you think... love em'? Hate em'? Gotten different results? Let me know :)
