I love this product. I use Berry Bitten every morning. It's a perfect base for a natural look with just balm, or all day color under lipstick. For a black tie event, the red shade under any lipstick makes sure I can enjoy dinner and drinks without touchups. The price is right too. Make sure you snap the cap on all the way to make sure the tip does not dry out. Great product. A+

It's ok. I agree, you need a gloss or something over it, simply because it dries out your lips. But, lasts for a very long time and looks good.

I personally love these marker-style lip stains. They are generally pretty good colors, and super easy to apply. However, I did take away one lippie because they're a little bit drying - you have to put either a clear gloss or chapstick over the top to make them really wearable.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! I have it in berry bitten and it's in daily rotation. Coverage can be sheer with 1 application, or much darker with 2. And it LASTS, which is the best part. Staying power is as long as any of the all-day lipsticks, but without the dried up feeling those products tend to give. Wear it under clear gloss, lip balm, lip stick or alone. It works any which way. And application is a snap with the marker.

I was looking for a product I could apply in the morning and just forget about and this is it. I will definitely repurchase and try out the other color options as well.

I love the idea of a lip stain in pencil form, but many that I've previously tried have been disappointing. This one, however, stands out from the rest of the crowd. It delivers nice color that lasts, and it so easy to put on you don't even need a mirror. I bought it in two shades: pink tease and red siren. The pink tease was too light for me and was basically the color my lips are naturally, thus it didn't do too much to enhance them. The red siren color looks great on my lips. I put on some chapstick first (it will crease in dry lips), then put this on top. Soft, supple, berry lips that last for hours!

Also, I have not had a problem with the pens drying out. I've been using my red one for a few months now, and it's still going strong. Maybe because I put the chapstick on my lips first, so when I apply the pen some of it rubs off on the tip, keeping it moisturized? I don't know, but I've never had a problem with it.

I used this product about 4 times and it dryed up. I think it might have something to do with the fact that i used it sometimes when my lips were damp. Berry Bitten looked edgy with my pale skin and i do love the idea of a lip pen so yes, I will buy again.

I have this in pink tease, and I love it. I'm not much of a lipgloss/lipstick fan because gloss slips off too quickly, and lipstick constantly needs touch ups (maybeline's long wearing stuff is pretty good though!). Anyway, I love this! It's very easy to apply, you don't even need a mirror! Two coats make my lips very dark and dramatic which is great for going out at night, but one coat is great for a daytime look. I always layer my chocolate lip gloss over it, which makes the color (and smell) more yummy! I highly recommend this. I am tempted to try it in red, though I am fair and it might be too much for my skin tone.

WOW! I've never ever bought a lip product besides Nivea's Vitamin Power lip balm but receiving this as a swap extra has forever changed the way I think about lip cosmetics. I have this in Pink Kiss and I absolutely love the way this makes my lips look, really full and lush. I use my Nivea lip balm over this and can honestly say that my lips are looking the best they've ever been. I'm tempted to try out all Mark lip products but sadly, they're not available here in Australia :( Thank god for MUA...will definitely be trying out other Kissink markers and lip glosses!

I have this in Pink Tease and I love it! My mom got Berry Bitten, she is a big fan. I don't find this drying.. then again I do use a gloss or balm over it. When I put this on in the morning the colour will last through to the late afternoon, surviving breakfast and lunch without reapplying.

I agree with other reviews. It smells like those fat markers I used to use as a kid. I love it.

My only problem with this product is that it doesn't come in more colours. I am very fair and I think the Pink Tease may be the only one that suits me. Won't stop me from trying the others though.

I got this in Berry Bitten and loved the idea of a lip stain in a marker, but the color was too dark for me, so I bought it in Pink Tease. These are the only lip stains I have ever tried, and I love them! They are a bit drying, but thats easy to fix if you just layer some lip balm or gloss on top. Very fun to use!!!

I bought 3 of these hoping that one after the other would work but they didn't. No brand of lip ink as ever worked for me and this one is no exception. They are hard to apply, go on extrememly uneven and are all drying. Plus the shades are awful for someone with my coloring. Hate these. Are these discontinued yet?

Well, I love this product, but I did have a few issues with it. First I had it in Red Siren. The color wasn't right for me, and it dried out within days after I got it, which was weird, considering I always capped it correctly. Then I got it in Berry Bitten. LOVE the color. The whole concept of a lip stain marker is fun, too. These have the best staying power of any stain I've tried thus fair. Unfortunately, my Berry Bitten marker dried up almost as quickly as the Red Siren one I had. I wonder why? I'll probably still repurchase and see if it happens again.

At some point in time, I had all of these. I found that foxy, red siren, and berry bitten were too strong and dark on me though. They all seemed to show up a dark fuschia. Pink tease was perfect! Unlike Urban Decay's version, these are nicely wet markers, not dry. Stain lasts a long time. This and the new Tattoo Kiss (heart kiss is my fave: basically kissink in toned down more wearable shades) are Holy Grail. I love the healthy naturally pigmented lips look this gives. And I don't ahve to worry about it wearing off and leaving me with pale amidala lips!

This is a fun product -- a fruity smelling magic marker that gives an “I just ate a Popsicle” look. I purchased this in Pink Tease. I feel like a big kid, coloring my lips. This is a novelty item, thus I won’t be repurchasing.

I got this in red. It is a nice warm muted red. This goes well with sheer red lip colors or gloss. I tried this with a shimmer gloss too. It does not last as long as I would like but it is a fun idea.

I have this in Berry Bitten. I love the scent, ease of application and the color (like another reviewer I smudge as I apply, and the result is very natural) Why not 5 lippies? Lasting power is not so great. 2 hours at most (more like 1) ... not what I'd expect from a stain. But the price is right so I'd repurchase. Just wish the "marker" were a bit more "permanent"

This is one of the coolest products I've ever owned - it's like using a marker on your lips! (It even smells like the markers I had when I was little! lol) Not to mention, the color stays on ALL day! The shades are quite vivid, though, so I don't wear it often - hopefully when they bring out Tattoo Kiss, the shades will be more subtle!

♥ LOVE!! ♥ I've upgraded these to HG status. I'm a PPP with very little coloring in my lips, so when I heard that mark had an affordable, easy to apply lip stain, I went for it. Pink Tease is awesome, it's an adorable peachy-pink that kind of bring my lips back to a normal human color. It looks very cute on, especially with a little gloss (I am using mark glossblossom, love that too) over it. Berry Bitten is much darker, but I find I can pull it off if I smudge it a little with my finger before it dries. Both of them last all day and are easily removed with my normal face cleanser at night. Kind of a weird magic marker packaging, but hey, it's not like you have to ever reapply so no one has to see it. But these are an awesome find and I would definitely repurchase!



UPDATE: Still loving these! I tried their new Tattoo Kiss, which comes in prettier, more subtle colors, but for some reason they're much more dry than my kissinks. And they don't last as long. Viva la kissink!

My only gripe with these are they are not long lasting for me. But I love the colors of Red Siren and Pink Kiss. They are easy to apply, especially because i have highly pigmented lips, so anything that shows up is great! Plus, you can't beat the price.
