I just found this on another web site and couldn't wait to post it! I love Benetint lip stain by Benefit - you can make your lips as light or as dark as you want, and the color will last for hours - but it is expensive! Also, I understand that the dye in it is made from crushed insects. Ewww! This "copycat" stain is made from natural food coloring, which can be found at natural food stores, such as Whole Foods.
