Awesome stuff! I love the idea of lip/cheek stains but most of them are either too drying, or leave that telltale stain on your cheeks if you aren't blazing fast about spreading it. This is the...

Before I begin, I'm not the kind of person who cares about what people say about what I put on my face. BUT, I have very pigmented lips, almost like the lips of a smoker except that I don't smoke....

I love this stuff. I hate the feeling of lipstick so I've tried almost every lip stain out there and this is my favorite. I wish it came in more colors, but the Prom Queen color looks great with my...

TheBalm Stainiac is a must-have product for those who like to keep their products to a minimum, or keep their makeup routine simple. I love that this stain works well as a blush and lip colour. It...

I love this stain! I received a sample size of it in my Birchbox and wasn't sure what to think, since it looked really magenta inside the tube and I'm usually more of a chapstick girl... but...

This is the best lip stain in the whole world. It is a beautiful, universally flattering colour. It actually lasts me all morning. So for about 6+ hours. Even when I bite my lips. Even when I drink...

I really like using Staniac as a cheek stain - it's a perfect rosy color and lasts a long time on my skin, which is nice. As a lip stain, the color is beautiful but I just find it a bit drying. ...

This was the first stain I've tried, so I can't compare it to anything else. I have also only used it on my lips. I bought the colour "Prom Queen," which, on my lips, is a...

Love this stain! it has the perfect berry color, similar to benetint but more subtle and much easier to apply. it has more of a gel texture, much like the body shop one but doesn`t get streaky. it...

This is a fairly good lipstain. It didn't make my lips feel dry and flaky and it's easy to apply. Other than that I don' think I will ever buy a lipstain again. I have this in Prom Queen but since...

I've tried a lot of different lip stains and this one is the best I've used so far. The texture is great -- not too liquidy or goopy. I usually dot it on my lips and use my fingers to blend in,...

This is by far my favorite lip coloring product. I don't have to worry about it transferring anywhere, and it gives my lips a pretty color (looks like I just ate a cherry popsicle!). The color is...

Have already re-purchased twice already. HG stain for me -- great color which REALLY enhances the natural color of my lips. "Homecoming Queen" is OK but too orangey. Benetint is too "harlot /...

Love this. I have the original berry color too, which pretty. This one is more red, so I like it when I want a more dramatic look. Really like this product. Staying power is not good, but other...

A pretty rose color, a little darker and redder than benetint. I like that its a gel consistency and with a doe foot applicator. It stays on for quite some time. Definitely would repurchase.
