Hello!
It's been forever since I posted anything on my blog. I went on vacation, I'm busy with bridesmaid stuff and I'm preparing to go back to school... Not to mention I have a three year old! Anyways, the inconsistent blogging has come to an end. Yes, I do have plenty of things to do but the world of beauty isn't going to wait on me ,haha.
Let's get started shall we?
Today, I have a pretty awesome review to share with you all. I picked these Megaslicks Balm Stains up at my local Walmart about a month ago and I have to say I'm surprised with the quality. I know Wet N Wild has legendary lipsticks but I didn't expect much from their Balm Stain. So don't be fooled by the price tag!
The claims
Now you can amp up your lips with one stick for a kissable pout in no time. To keep your pucker-perfect, these all NEW lip balm stains glide on smoothly while conditioning the lips. Enriched win Acai Palm Oil, this amazing formula forms a protective shield on the lips to prevent feathering. Complete with six great shades and continuos moisture, the formula leaves the lips with a unique minty, dolling sensation. No matter how long the kiss, this balm will last and last.

Where can I buy them?
I purchased mine here.
Are the claims true?
They apply smoohly✔️
They condition the lips.✔️ A Stiff Pink does but Pinky Promise not so much.
Doesn't feather✔️
Moisturizing✔️✖️To some degree(more info under the individual swatches)
Minty sensation✔️
They stain✔️ AStiff Pink stains beautifully but Pinky Promise is to sheer to notice.
I also want to point out that the balm stains do not have a scent.
The packaging
The packaging feels cheap. Sometimes the lid falls off but hey, I would rather have cheap packaging than a cheap product.
A stiff pink
I can't get over how pretty this shade is! It's definitely bright and perfect for this time of the year.
This shade is very glossy looking but absent of shimmer.
It's not tacky or annoying.
It doesn't cling to my dry patches or dry my lips out. So, the Moisturing claim is true from that aspect. I don't think it can replace a chap stick but I'm comfortable enough to wear this alone.
The pigmentation is bright and opaque. The left swatch is one stroke and the right is three strokes(it pretty much looks the same).
It applies evenly and doesn't feather outside of the lip line.
The glossy wear lasts for about two hours, then your lips are left with a stiff pink stain.
The stain fades evenly and looks lovely for up to five(ish) hours.
I definitely recommend A Stiff Pink!
Pinky promise
This shade is very hard to photograph (probably just me haha), resulting in my pictures being bright from the light over my hand.
Pinky Promise is a very shimmery pinky or peachy nude shade.
It's not tacky or annoying.
It's not as moisturizing as A Stiff Pink but at the same time it doesn't dry my lips out.
It may cling to rough dry patches but you should be fine if your lips are moisturized before hand.
The pigmentation is good for this shade. Some might say it lacks in that department but it's meant to be a sheer nudy pink. So I give it a thumbs up. The left swatch is one stroke and he right swatch is three strokes in the picture above.
It applies evenly and doesn't feather outside of the lips.
Pinky promise lasts for about a hour then it's pretty much disappears. I don't notice a stain left behind but it might be too sheer to really notice.
Even though it doesn't last long I still love this shade. It's great for a quick look and it's super cute. Plus, I love using it on the center of my lips for a pouty look.
I recommend this shade if you're willing to work with it. It's so beautiful on the lips.
Have you tried the Megaslicks Balm Stains?
