Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain vs YSL Glossy Stain

May 29, 2014

I’m a HUGE fan of YSL Glossy Stains, so when I spotted a drugstore version from Revlon I had to buy it so that I could try it to compare the two.  I already own several of the YSL stains.  From Revlon I opted for a hot pink color, which is probably no big surprise as this seems to be my “go to” color.
Left:  YSL Glossy Stain in #17 Encre Rose
Right:  Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in 001India Intrigue

The applicator brushes are very similar
Swatches
(not for color comparison, but for the glossiness and formula
The Revlon formula is much thicker
Me with the YSL Glossy Stain
Me with my Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain
Here’s my verdict/comparison of the two products:
 
YSL Glossy Stain
smells like mango which is nice to me, may be offensive to some
thin formula doesn’t feel heavy on the lips
needs a few layers to get full color payoff
color and shine last several hours
expensive at $35 for .20 ounces
readily available at high end stores in at least 24 colors
vs.
Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain
unscented which some people may prefer
thicker and creamy formula
more pigmented formula for a one swipe application
more opaque
lasted a few hours but didn’t really stain my lips
rather inexpensive at $8-$10 for .27 ounces (price depends on the store you’re in)
readily available at all drugstores in 12 colors
contains vitamin E and aloe
What do you think?  I know that I’ll continue to purchase the YSL Glossy Stains because they’re a favorite of mine.  I definitely consider these to be a luxury product.  The Revlon offers a nice alternative at a much lower price point.  You can definitely save money and get these instead.  Several companies are coming out with gloss and stain products in one right now so look forward to more posts like this because I will be trying them all!
*I paid for all products shown in this post with my own money.  All text and opinions are my own.

    I have the YSL Glossy Stain in #11 Rouge Gouache and it’s may favorite from my make-up bag! I have been thinking about purchasing another as I love this product but I’ve also held off because they aren’t cheap. Have you tried the #5 Rose Vintage, #27 Peche Cerra-Cola, or the #9 Rouge Laque? Thoughts?

      Of course I haven’t tried any of those colors! LOL! I have #17 Encre Rose, #109 Fuchsia Fugitive and #7 Corail Aquatique. I think they’re all gorgeous but like the newer ones in the Rebel Nude collection the best. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo
