I prefer lip stain. Loreal has some pretty awesome colors. I took a shower and I'm still wearing the lip stain from yesterday morning. I like it because you can go out and drink and not mess it up :) But you have to be careful because if you get it on your skin it's an absolute pain to get off... :( But it comes with a glossy thing that moisturizes your lips and makes it look like a gloss. :)
