SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING Skin Genie’s Lip and Cheek Stain Alive ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ Packaging : 5/5 Smell : 5/5 Application : 5/5 Comfort : 5/5 Texture : 5/5 Longevity : 5/5 /VERDICT/ First, i love its packaging to the max! It's actually a new look of it and it looks really fancy with the gold lettering and mind you, they come in a white box with gold lettering too so they are a perfect gift for someone you know who loves lip tints. The smell is so sweet! Like a fruit or even candy, it tastes sweet too! Regards it application, it's very easy since it's a roll-on. So you just need to roll it once or twice for a natural look and since it's really pigmented even though it's water based, you can apply more layers for a more intense color. It's that buildable! I didn't feel any sting instead it's very comfortable on the lips! It's also non-drying and longevity is one of my favorite about this! I a...

The ...
