LIP INK® Customer Reviews

This review is for the Lip Ink Founder: “Hey Rose, recently came across Lip Ink’s product line and was impressed to see a collection focused on the actual benefits to the consumer rather than just the fancy ingredients.”

“Hi Rose- Thank you again for all your help! Our wedding day was a blast! The picture attached was taken immediately after the ceremony and after “the kiss”… with no time to reapply makeup or lipstick. As you can see… no smears on me and no smudges on Darrell. Yay! My bridesmaids loved their Lip Ink gifts, too. I am forever a Lip Ink fan!!!”
-Anarissa

“I love the Lip Ink® liquid lip color Glitter Red. I have been wearing it since the first day it was sold. Which is over 15 years ago. I called customer care today to see if there is a product to lighten it, to give it a summer look. They suggested to use a magic powder in the color diamond. Just paint down the color Glitter Red and then powder it lightly ( very lightly with the diamond magic powder) , then finish it off with a layer of Glitter Red and some LIP Ink shine over the top of it. It worked perfectly. Thanks for my new summer lip color. Thanks LIP INK”

“Lip Ink is my all-time favorite lip stain. My mom got me hooked years ago and I have been in love since. I never used to be a lipstick girl. I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of reapplying, worrying about having lipstick on my teeth or leaving kisses on all the cups. With Lip Ink, I don’t have to worry about any of that. I apply in the morning and I’m good for the day. And they come in so many amazing colors! My lipstick drawer is full of nothing by Lip Ink! No joke! But coral is my go-to. I have two tubes of coral: one at home with the others and on in the office because you never know when you might need a little color!”

“Thank you so much for the basket of lip goodies! It arrived today and I can't wait to try out some of the things that I haven't tried before. Btw, that chocolate mint gloss smells absolutely amazing!

Hailey Rose-Wearing Lip Ink Earth Red Lip Ink was absolutely perfect for vacation. I'd wear Lip Ink for 15 hours straight- swimming in the ocean, zip-lining, indulging myself in food, going on tours, etc. My lip color stayed put the entire time!

"Dear Rose,
My LIP INK arrived! I'm impressed! The color is beautiful and the magic is real! Thank you one more time. I'll start saving up for the next one, till I by them all :) Girl love from Serbia!"

"Hello! I just wanted to send an email about the phone call I received from you all today. What a nice surprise!!! I was so impressed that you all took an interest in my business so personally. I have just recently stumbled upon the lip ink product from a google search gone awry. I am a lover of cosmetics, but especially long wear lip color, as I am in a field where I wear a mask all day off and on. I was floored when I saw your product claims and couldn’t wait to try it. I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this stuff! I have been trying the different colors to see which I love the most. The wear is fantastic and the glosses (especially hyper shine) are fantastic!!! I also love that there is minimal scent. Also, your company’s devotion to sustainable and healthy products. I wore coral to dinner with some girlfriends the other night (I am 31 and my friends are the same age), and I had them all looking at your site by the end of the night. They loved the look! I am just trying to try as many things as I can from you guys!"

Lip Ink is fabulous! When Rose first developed the product in 1995, she personally applied my Lip Ink at the California State Fair in Sacramento. I was allergic to every cosmetic--until Lip Ink came along and saved my cosmetic life! I have been a fan ever since and use nothing but Lip Ink products. Thank you Rose for adding color and glamour to my life!

Voted "Best Everyday Lip Color"

The first time I tried Lip Ink was at Ink ‘n’ Iron in Long Beach. My friend, Renee, and I had been walking past the table and I convinced her to stop to try the goods with me, as I am always a sucker for a good lip stain. Renee doesn’t typically like to wear a lot of makeup, which is why it was particularly amazing when we both fell in love with the product and immediately purchased a set of Lip Ink Color.

I love the “stay all day” power of the Lip Ink Color lip stain (especially in my favorite color, Wineberry), but now that I live in SoCal and sit through a long commute every day, my lips sometimes need an extra boost of moisture. This is especially true right now, during our heat wave, when every office building and restaurant has their A/Cs on at full blast, which is a recipe for dry, cracked lips. So, you can imagine how excited I was when Lip Ink launched their new product: Lip Ink Shine Moisturizer.

It makes my lips feel so soft and supple that it’s almost as though I’ve rubbed olive oil onto them (an old DIY beauty trick). But the best part is that the color is still bold and bright, and totally layerable with the original Lip Ink stain, or other Shine Moisturizers. I’ve been experimenting with layering my Wineberry stain with the Matte Berry Lip Ink Moisturizer for a shiny plum look. And the Lip Ink Moisturizer in Matte Red is my go-to for nighttime events (it matches my salon-given Jessica-Rabbit-red hair).

My boyfriend, who usually hates to kiss me when I’m wearing gloppy gloss or balm, has even given the thumbs up; he likes the way the Shine Moisturizer makes his lips feel, too! Here’s a snap of Renee and I rocking our Lip Ink for the first time

Lip-Ink Lipstick has done wonders for my self-confidence in interacting with people because I know that my lipstick is fantastic and I do not have to worry whether most of my lipstick has slid off! All other lipstick products that I ever tried (and I have tried a lot) lasted about 30 minutes and then just gradually wore off. So every thirty minutes, I would need to put on my lipstick again. It is not convenient when I talk to someone or being the master of ceremonies at a multi-national meeting to take a “make-up break”. It is also really embarrassing to put on your lipstick in public, especially when you are the only woman at the meeting and you are intensely interacting with someone or many people constantly.

Lip-Ink Lipstick will last on my lips at least 4-6 hours without coming off and it keeps looking almost as good as when I first put it on! Most other people have to take if off with the “Off” product because it is so permanent! Compare the 4 hours of confidence to the 30 minutes of using other lipstick and you will see why I have bought Lip-Ink Lipstick for more than 20 years! Of course, a drink (like water) or eating something is the true nemesis of other lipsticks, but NOT Lip-Ink. Because I take a lot of medications to survive, I have “extremely” dry mouth. Yes, I use the Biotin products plus a prescribed toothpaste to help my dry mouth, but I still have to drink something in order to just continue talking. If I fail to drink my water, after about 10 minutes, my mouth gets so dry that I start slurring my words so no one can understand what I am saying. So I do not have the privilege to wait until an event or meeting is over to drink anything. It is required to hydrate my mouth constantly by drinking something. This only causes my regular lipstick to slide off QUICKER (and yes, I have tried the new lipsticks that promise that they will stay on till you take it off and they only last about an hour). With Lip-Ink, eating or drinking has NO effect on my lipstick! I have been a Lip-Ink customer for at least 20 years and counting… They have a variety of colors and I can see what lip stains are in the collection that is best for my coloring. The more coats of Lip-Ink I put on, the darker the lipstick gets so I am in control of just how deep of color I need! Going to Church? I use one coat so it is light but looks great. Going out for the evening with my husband, I can use three coat of the very same color I wore to church because 3 coats makes the color very deep and luscious.

Lip-Ink Lipstick lasts a long-time depending on how often I wear it and how many coats I use. I just ran out of one of the lipsticks I first bought called “Cherry”. I loved the color and wore it often! It made me sad that it was gone!

I do have a slight reaction to Lip-Ink Lipstick when I put it on. I feel a burning sensation which is tolerable - after using the Lip-Ink Lipstick for so many years, it is hardly noticeable now. Most people would have discarded the Lip-Ink Lipstick because of the burning, thinking they were allergic to it, but since it wears so long, I would not change to another lipstick!

The Lip-Ink website is easy to access and order plus there are daily specials so you can try other things, like the blush, the eye-liner, the tattoo cover-up etc. I encourage anyone that has my problem of getting a lipstick to stay on to buy Lip-Ink Lipstick!

No, I do not work for the company, but upon reading my comments, it sounds like I do! I am just a customer just like you that has had much practice in marketing so that is why this post sounds like I work for the company.

As I'm ordering this, I'm reminded of a story that Marianne Williamson told in her book, A Gift of Change, about a young girl who wanted to go to CVS Pharmacy so that she could pick out her own color of lipstick. It's good to know that I have the freedom to pick out my own color as well. Thank you for your products, and as Dr. Ebin Alexander wrote in his book Proof of Heaven, all is well.
