Stainiac

The Balm Stainiac cheek and lip stain

     I have never tried a stain before and tend to gravitate towards lipstick and glosses.  Last month I was feeling adventurous and tried out The Balm's Stainiac.  This tint has a great color and the applicator makes it easy to apply.  The color enhances my natural lip color great.  It also had a great smell, which is key in a lip product for me because I hate icky smelling products.  Although to me it was very drying and a few hours later my lips looked thirsty.  I didn't try it as a cheek stain and glad I didn't  because of how it made my lips feel.  Overall the product was okay and I will not be repurchasing it.  This does not mean it may not be the product for you.   If you like a very minimal and natural look and you are willing to reapply it often then this product may be for you.
