Hey Everyone!
Happy New Years and I have soo much planned for this year. I will be focusing on doing more product reviews and trying to stay in the beauty/makeup direction for this blog. I hope you all have been enjoying it so far and are looking forward to whatʻs to come as much as I am!
ANYWAYS, letʻs get started!!!
I am soo excited to share with you all my FIRST product review EVER!
First, Iʻll talk about where I found it and the cost as well as the selection. Then I will go into my experience with using the product all day and my overall opinion on it. I will have photos that go along with this posted below this review.
Okay, so I walked into Don Quixote, itʻs a grocery store chain here on Oʻahu, and I decided to check out their makeup section since I heard soo many great things about it. I havenʻt been in Don Quixote in a hot minute too! I was amazed to find JESSIEʻS GIRL Cosmetics products AND the JULIE G nail polish collection! I thought I would never find it. I bought a Julie G nail polish and I will be posting a review of that later.
Okay, so the balm stain was $2.99 and had a $1 off coupon attached to the packaging. The selection seemed to be pretty good. There was a red, berry, nude, and the pink color that I chose. The packaging is plastic and looks decent enough. I think it doenʻt look or feel too cheap. Itʻs just right.
I put the balm stain on this morning around 7:30 before I went about my day and I only used 2 swipes on my bottom lip then rubbed my lips together to spread it evenly and it was superrr pigmented! It stained my lips right away. It was crazy! Then I started to have a tingling sensation on my lips and I wasnʻt sure if it was the stain soaking into my lips or if itʻs supposed to do that. I will need to go do some research on that one. If you try this product or have this, could you please let me know if it did that for you too?
I did the kiss test to see if it transfer and it didnʻt budge! It did budge when I rubbed it off on a napkin to get it off of my lips, so that is a bonus when you are looking to remove it!
I had this product on for a total of 9 hours today and here are the photos to show you how it went.
This is what it looks like and the packaging. I think itʻs pretty decent and nice for what itʻs worth.
How much product is in the tube. This is a lot considering I only used like 2 fast swipes.
The color I had was 127 "A Stiff Pink".
This is how it looked in natural lighting at 7:30 am.
Here it is at 10:30 am and it started to get dull in color.
Here it is after lunch at 1:30 pm and it seems to be really light on my lips. It was faded or completely off in the center of my lips from eating and drinking water.
Then here it is at 4:30 pm where it is almost completely off my lips. I wiped it off shortly after this since now I will just been chillin at home.
Overall, I would recommend this product if you are looking for an affordable stain lip balm. Also, itʻs pretty affordable. I mean, you canʻt go wrong with it being $2.99 and then having that $1 off coupon. Itʻs like $2! I think itʻs worth it and it did its job. The only thing about this product is that you would have to reapply it, but thatʻs not too bad unless youʻre looking for a long wearing product. Another thing is that it loses its shine after about an hour so you can top it with a lip balm or gloss which kind of defeats its purpose, but it still has color pigmentation to it. If you like the matte look then you wonʻt need to worry until you reapply it.
I donʻt have any other product that I can compare this too, but I will probably be on the hunt for another drug store brand that offers this to do a comparison instead of a high end one.
How did I do?! Please comment and let me know what I could improve on!
Thanks for reading this and hope this helps you in deciding whether or not to purchase this product!
