The perfect tint is hard to find

What’s Cracking Good — Lip and cheek stain

Vincent Longo’s Cupid’s Breath lip and cheek tint was my desert island beauty product.

With a swipe of the sponge-y tip, a natural-looking shade of color appeared on my lips and cheeks like magic, waking me from the dead in under 15 seconds.

Now, however, Cupid’s Breath is nowhere to be found. Amazon lists it, but claims it’s out of stock. I had a brief moment of hope when I saw it listed in In Style Magazine — but still, my favorite color is elusive.

I’m now scraping the contents out of my current tube. I’m going to have to come up with an alternative.

Here are a few I’m looking at:

1.) Sephora Lush Flush Lip & Cheek Stain , $12 in Red Wine and Rose

2.) Vincent Longo’s My Sunshine Lip & Cheek Stain, $22.50
It’s the same formula in a different, more orange-y tint. This is the one I actually purchased. It’s okay, but I kind of look like I got into some Kool-Aid.

3.) Mark Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain, $9
You can afford to try several of the stay-on shades.

4.) Jemma Kidd Rosy Glow Lip & Cheek Tint, $28
Super-sheer color

5.) Marry Me Lip & Cheek Stain, $22.50

Any suggestions?
