I like this color when it’s on the center of my lip. However, I don’t like how it leaves some sort of weird ring around my mouth. It’s almost as if it pulls a completely different shade on the outer edge of my lips and I like this better after it wears down a bit. The color looks less shiny and gives more of a my lips but better kind of look. But this isn’t a product I will reach for often: it is too fussy to apply. You often hear (read) me talk about Essence Cosmetics. And you’ll also have heard of it’s big sister Catrice. Both of those brand are from the same company Cosnova. I’ve been using their products for many years and I’ve seen relooks of these 2 brands several times. It’s crazy how they can come up with such nice concepts for such affordable prices. Lately I’ve noticed a lot of great new lip products from Catrice. Today, I’ll talk about the Aqua Ink Lipliner. There is a total of 6 shades in the collection. Like a true marker, the colors show a lot darker on the lips. I’m talking very very dark, even for the lightest shade that I have. The more layers you apply, the darker it gets. They can apply a bit patchy, so make sure there is nothing on your lips (no lip balm). Catrice Aqua Ink Lipliner 070 Rosewood Flair is a deeply pigmented lip contour with a ball applicator to promote strong accuracy. Plus, the water-based texture causes immediate absorption and prevents smudging for optimal, long-lasting results. This formula outlines bottom and top lips swiftly, perfecting an optical illusion for those who want more volume. Indeed, there are multiple semi-permanent shades at your disposal, adequate for all skin tones. Alternatively, you can also fully cover your lips, taking advantage of particularly hydrating ingredients like Aloe Vera, Panthenol, or Vitamin E. The Catrice Aqua Ink Lip Liners are lip liners with a felt-type ball-shaped applicator. These lip liners are creating a semi-permanent tint effect and are water-based according to their description. The lip liners are available in 6 shades and are vegan, too.

There is absolutely no transfer and even with make up remover, it’ll stay on your lips. I wore it a couple of weeks ago, when I went to a restaurant. I applied it around 6 pm in the evening and it was still on my lips when I woke up in the morning. It just slightly faded on the inside of my mouth. And this does what it says on the tin. It is a little bit sheer, but not overly so. I also really love this shade. There are only 6, so there isn’t a whole lot to choose from, but I like this bright watermelon red. Reminds me of one of my favorite Revlon lip butters, which has a very similar shade. The texture of this is comfortable to wear and it does wear down, but for such a creamy product it does leave a bit of a stain behind. The SwatchesIch habe beim Auftragen von Burgundy Sunset Waves das Gefühl gehabt, dass er sich noch ein klein wenig besser verstreichen lässt, und kleinere Unregelmässigkeiten gnädiger vergibt als Let’s Mauve to the Beach. Die Farbe ist wundervoll knallig, aber dabei trotzdem alltagstauglich dank der leichten Konsistenz. As you can see there is quite a bit of product on the applicator and that caused an uneven application. It also went on weird to begin with, which is a problem I have had with many other lip stains in the past. I’m not sure what it is with me and lip stains, but they hardly ever work for me. Either they only stain one of my lips, or they leave a strange ring around my lips. This one does the latter as you can see in the lip swatch below. Catrice Aqua Ink Lip Liner Nun, und der übrig bleibende Lip Stain ist dann einfach nur der Hammer! Er ist so intensiv, dass man abends schon ein wenig Mühe hat, ihn zu entfernen – Mizellenwasser und/oder Reinigungsöl kann hier helfen (oder mein heiß geliebter Heimish All Clean Balm!). Die Farbe des Stains würde ich als Kirschrot beschreiben, und insbesondere für jene von Euch mit stark pigmentierten Lippen ist sie sehr empfehlenswert. Hier sieht man den Farbeffekt wirklich gut! Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains: mein Fazit Eigentlich war es eher der Farbton Let’s Mauve to the Beach, welcher mir beim ersten Swatchversuch bei Müller das Herz gestohlen hatte. Doch mittlerweile muss ich sagen, dass das rubinrote Burgundy Sunset Waves zu meinem Liebling geworden ist, den ich derzeit fast täglich trage! This here is the shade 020 “Jump Into The Red River”, a classic red shade again. Typically for a gloss it comes with a angled sponge applicator. Surprisingly, the swatched product is super vibrant in color and not what you expect a gloss to be. Unlike the lip liners this product doesn’t dry down matte but stays glossy and moist on the lips. Also this stain is very long-lasting and despite fading out throughout the day by drinking and eating it will still leave a hint of color on your lips.

Am liebsten hätte ich gleich alle vier Farben des Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains mitgenommen, aber das wäre doch etwas ausufernd für einen Test geworden.Was haltet Ihr von den Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains? Habt Ihr schon die Catrice Neuheiten bei Müller oder dm gesichtet? Die Konsistenz der Aqua Ink-In-Gloss Lip Stains ist schwer zu beschreiben: Sehr leicht, wässerig-gelig, aber dabei nicht zu flüssig. Auf den Lippen fühlen sie sich zunächst ein klein wenig seltsam an, aber dann ist das Tragegefühl insgesamt sehr angenehm, da man sie kaum spürt und sie auch nicht so kleben wie ein klassisches Gloss.

The staying power is a huge plus. The lip liner stays on my lips for almost 24-30 hours after which it starts fading away. It leaves a semi-permanent tint to my lips because of which the color is very hard to remove. I use an oil-based makeup remover and a scrub to remove the stain completely. It is a waterproof lip liner and thus, it easily sustains meals and drinks. Also, the lip liner stains my clothes and the mistakes stay for almost 2 days. The product is not at all moisturising on the lips, so it is essential to hydrate your lips before application. Overall, it is a great product.

Catrice Lip Dresser Shine Stylo

The second lip product is the Catrice Aqua Ink-In-Gloss, and as you can tell from the name already, it is a gloss which gives a semi-permanent stain to the lips. Similar to the Lip Liners this product is water-based and vegan. It comes in 4 different shades. Moreover, it has a lightweight finish and contains Glycerin and feels moist on the lips and doesn’t dry them out.
