Thanks, @wvumountiefan!! I will take a look at these in store and hopefully pick one up. For some reason, I just have a hard time picking out liquid lipstick colors, because they always seem to pull dark and brown on me (at least several of the colors in various brands I've tried), so I feel it's best to try on in person first. I really appreciate the update and details!!
@FUTURE-
I know exactly what you mean about pulling brown and/or just way different on the lip than online swatches. There's no way I could have picked Sephora's by website photos. I've made some real goof-ups by buying lip color online. They don't even resemble the lipstick I thought I was buying.
@I will say I lucked out on the Stila shade. I bought 2 at Dermstore @ 20% off & proceeded to misplace the lighter one. The darker is the MLBB I'm going nuts over. So, by sheer luck (and reviews) I couldn't have done better. I went to Ulta before Sephora to swatch the shade I bought & misplaced.. (I think it landed in the trash somehow) & found one I even like better for the purpose I wanted. The lighter shade was mostly for popping on top of the base MLBB shade for dimension- more of a nighttime look I think. Ulta was out of stock on most of them, but was able to pick it up along with two Sephora brand lip stains. Tonight I'll condition my lips and test Sephora's tomorrow.
Oh.. and when watching You Tube, Milani got a lot of good reviews on their version. I'm sure we'll have a decent selection of less pricey options out there.
