Ball in Vienna is a stunning shade of bright fuschia. And I do mean bright, but it is also very flattering against my fair skin. As much as I adore the color, that is a drop in the bucket compared to the formula.

This is the ONLY lip stain I have ever used that lasts literally all day. And on top of that (get ready for your mind to be blown..3,2,1..) IT DID NOT DRY MY LIPS OUT!! Sorry, I am a little overly excited about this detail. But it is impossible to find any kind of lip product that does not dry my lips out at least a little. Never mind a lip stain. Another thing that I love about is the high shine finish. When first applied and throughout the first couple of hours. it is very glossy. After that, it becomes a stunning matte pink. So you really get the best of both worlds. The formula is very light weight and easy to apply and wear. Oh, and did I mention that it stays on for ages? I applied it around noon yesterday and when I woke up this morning, it was still there. And I have pictures to prove it. This picture was taken soon after I woke up this morning. The color did fade somewhat, but it is still intense.
The packaging is no fuss. Just a clear, tall tube that allows you to see the product. It does have a black lid with the CenterStage Fergie logo. The brush is even nice and allows for easy, even application on the lips.
You can find this at WalGreens and when I was last there, they had a $1.00 off coupon for any Wet n Wild CenterStage product. I ended up getting this little gem for less than $3. Bottom line, you need this lip stain in your life.
