I've got a million lip products but I can't stop buying more. This is my latest purchase, on a whim when I was wandering through Farmers looking for a clear brow mascara.
I think the word 'stain' in the name threw me off, because I was expecting a long lasting colour even after the balm wears off. But this is straight up just a standard tinted lipbalm. I got the reddish shade, and it does look very pretty on my lips but the colour just doesn't last. It's very balmy when applied, and feels quite moisturising, but also transfers extremely quickly and after maybe half an hour the colour's completely gone.
I've had better tinted lipbalms, and I've got plenty of lip crayons like this already. It doesn't really add anything new or innovative like I thought it would so I'm a little disappointed. Don't think I'd buy again.
This lip balm goes on so nicely and feels quite creamy. Definitely not the coverage you would get from a regular lipstick but I was quite impressed by how bright it actually turned out in the end. It's a good inbetween lip balm to have in your handbag or just to top up over your regular lipstick. I quite like to mix n match to see what different effects I can make.
Tips: Apply over a regular lipstick and depending on lip balm colour can boost the colour. The brighter pink looks great over some more neutral colours.
