As you know, I’m a huge fan of lip stains like those made by my favorite brand Liptini. So of course I had to give Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain a try. The great things about lip stains is that you can layer them, so you can get just a hint of color with one coat, or a dramatic pout with two or three layers. And while you can add enough layers of Cherry Crush to create a nice pop of color, it gives such a great “your lips but better” look with one layer you may choose to stop there. It is formulated to be a color that is universally flattering – and it certainly works on me. Think of that color your lips get when they just look great on their own – after you bit into a cherry or a juice strawberry, after sucking on a cherry popsicle, or after a hard workout – this is the color that Cherry Crush seems to produce on everyone who I’ve seen try it.
One of the ways it works on everyone is by reacting to the pH level on your skin. While there isn’t that much of a difference between one person and the next when it comes to pH levels, it’s enough to cause a change to the color of Cherry Crush. Add to that the fact that it contains antioxidants and cherry and pomegranate extracts, and you have one impressive product.
Of course, the fact that it reacts to pH brings out the mad scientist in me, so I’ve been trying to see how different products of varying pH levels tweak the color, and the results are pretty cool. Stay tuned for my findings…Â
