Hey everybody! Can't believe this is my first post!! :D
Since I didn't really know what to post, I decided to post a mini-review of the new Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains.
People have been RAVING about these on Youtube (yes, I'm subscribed to tons of beauty channels on Youtube haha).
Jordana recently released tons of new products, including these balm stains. These balm stains are in a crayon form (similar to Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain $8.99), they twist up so there is no need to sharpen, and they come in a variety of colors. Oh, and they're around $3!
These balms stains claim to:
- Be moisturizing
- Leave a light-weight stain
- Apply with a glossy finish that will then transform into 'The perfect flush of color''
I definitely wanted to give these a try, so I went to Walgreens and decided to pick up two.
Left: ''Sweet Pink''
Right: ''Cranberry Crush''
Here are some swatches of both balm stains. Please excuse my weird hand haha :D
Let's start with ''Sweet Pink'':
I picked this one up because it looked like a deep, neutral (muted) pink in the packaging. However, when I put it on my lips, it looked a lot more pink and less neutral. You can build it up and make it a bright pink color.
''Cranberry Crush'':
I picked this one up because it looked like a really deep Cranberry color... perfect for fall! When I put it on my lips, it didn't look as dark. I was kinda disappointed because it looked similar to Sweet Pink, just a little bit darker. Still a really pretty color for fall, though.
Overall, I do like these. Their pigmentation is good, you can build up the intensity, they are long lasting, moisturizing... and they're suuuuper cheap! I would pick up more colors, but keeping in mind that the actual color may differ from the color showed in the packaging.
Since they are darker, I will be wearing these for fall a lotttt! :)
