I can't believe how long-wearing this stuff is... it's crazy! I used to be a Benetint diehard, but it frustrated me that I had to reapply every few hours, which defeated the point of lipstain to me. Plus, I love the girlishness of lipstick, and how feminine it feels to put it on, so I went on a search for the best red lipstick. I went straight to MAC and asked for their truest red, and the artist gave me Russian Red, which I knew was the same lipstick the Rockettes wear. IT IS GORGEOUS, and AMAZINGLY versatile! Applied straight from the tube it is a jaw-dropping red that is bold and bright but still believable on my very fair, neutral-toned skin (always the lightest shade in foundation!), with a finger a pretty, berryish stain, and with a brush (what I do every day) it ends up just like Benetint-only it actually lasts all day! Seriously, from 5am when my tutoring job starts to 6pm when I get out of class. It is amazing. If you love Benetint, get this! It's half the price, and honestly lasts twice as long! I brush on a little after lunch just in the center of my lips, and I'm good to go- also, applying lip balm (Nivea, strawberry-tinted) over it does not affect the color (with Benetint, it seemed to break the stain down). I love it.

Beautiful color, beautiful sheen, lasts so long, and leaves a pretty stain behind! Smooth, not waxy, gorgeous! I have Tulip, and it's my go-to every day lipstick! I'm a lipstick girl as long as it's moisturizing and pretty, and Origins is perfect!

This stuff could be great, as long as it is applied with a very, very, very light hand- however, it settles into EVERY line and cakes like mad, even when applied with a good brush, and I do not have dry skin. I wanted to love it, but alas... no thanks!
