Both of these stains promise high colour intensity with a balm like feel and they both deliver on this 100% I love the crayon packaging of these stains, the lids never go missing in my handbag like lots of lipsticks do! Application is easy and fluid and you never need to sharpen them. Both have a light minty taste/smell but not enough to make your lips tingly with menthol. Perfect.
The Honey balm is my go-to everyday colour. I will wear this instead of chapstick if I can't find one as it is that moisturising. It is a nude pink that matches my natural lip colour perfectly. The finish is a low level gloss (more like a chapstick kind of sheen), no glitter or shine making them perfect for day time or the office. I have almost finished my first and will absolutely be buying this one again. Plus some more colours probably.
The 210 Unapologetic is my favourite BOLD statement lip look. This is a vibrant, bright pink (true pink, not orangey and not berry toned, PINK) and MATTE. It feels balmy still which is amazing for matte products and never feels drying. BUT it can look dry very easily. Having well prepared lips with no flaking is crucial. I often will layer this stain with a chapstick over the top to stop it looking dry which makes it less matte but oh well.
The staying power of both of these stains is amazing. I can apply and have hot cup of tea straight after and it doesn't budge. No marks on the cup. Wow.I'll reapply maybe once in a day.
Love these! Although the colour I brought didn't suite me as much as I'd like it to it was amazing! They colour lasted ages on my lips, very moisturising didn't need to apply lip balm. definitely will be trying different colours soon!
