Review: The Balm Lip & Cheek Stainiac Beauty Queen

It's been a long time I wanted red lip tint. Haven't had one before, and lucky me I got one from The Balm Indonesia. This is the best lip tint I've ever had and since I don't have many before. Check it out!

Description
Stainiac “hint of tint” works with all skin tones. Dab just a touch on your Cheeks and Lips; layer to pop the color. Fear not those dreaded streaks most tints leave behind - Stainiac’s aloe-infused gel-based formula is designed to give you more time before the stain sets.

How to use
Dab this stain on your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Use the wand to apply to your lips. Layer to build color.

Price
$17

Sounds very promising, I like the idea that it gives more time before it sets rather than makes my lips look like bleeding which usually happens with quick drying tint. And because it gel based, it should be more moisturizing.





It comes in a carton box, usual packaging, but it's colorful like The Balm, as always. It's retro and pop art like western comic style. The stain itself is made from transparent plastic and silver cap. Not really a cute one but it's simple. 





The wand is slanted like other lip tints, perfect shape for lips. But I still like using finger for the finishing touch because it's more natural that way.




The formula is amazing. It doesn't bleed or leaked into lip lines because it is aloe based gel which is more moisturizing and gives more time before it dries. 

Stainiac has 3 colors: Homecoming Queen (Orange), Beauty Queen (Magenta/Pink) and Prom Queen (Red). This one is the best selling one. It looks red but the color is magenta pink. The color is buildable, we can layer it until the color we want.




It's quiet long lasting even after drinking and eating. Once it settled, it's a bit hard to be removed, so use make up remover to clean it properly. Good thing is, it doesn't leave my lips look like bleeding. To look best, I like to use lip balm on the top of it, juicy lips is mine!

On cheek, I like to apply 2 layers because 1 layer is still invisible for my cheek. It gives a flush and fresh look without too much color.

Pros:
+ Moisturizing
+ Gives more time to apply because it dries longer than other tint
+ Has 3 color choices
+ Long lasting

Cons:
- Packaging is very common but not a big deal
- A bit pricey

Overall:
It's a bit pricier than Asian lip tint, but I bet it worth the price because it's different. The formula is moist yet long lasting and settled nicely. Really recommended for those who just learn to use lip tint because it gives more time before it sets. Other than that, it's useful because it can also be used for cheek too. I always love 2 in 1 product.

Review: IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige

IOPE is a brand from Amore Pacific. The medium high collection similar with Laneige and Mamonde. The skin care range is more for older people, while Laneige and Mamonde are for younger people. This is my first IOPE. It is really best selling, sold 1 every 30 seconds in the world. I also heard that it is featured in many magazines, got award, etc... I am curious with this air cushion thing. and it is really good to know there is a compact sunblock with high SPF (it's 50!!). Since it is superrrr hot here in Bali, where I live, I don't like wearing cream sunblock. *Sorry for blurry picture* The box is thick because it contains the compact sunblock + FREE REFILL... Love it the free one. You also get the small booklet for product description inside. Description It is 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling. The cooling effect is new to me, I never have cooling effect product before. Really all in ...

Quick News from Etude House! Etude Hose, why are you keep making me broke? Maybe for some people. it's really true. They are now going on their spring collection as the new lips fit already launched. A few days ago, there is something new and it's so exciting and colorful.  Etude House Any Cushion has been a hit and it's best selling item. Do you remember the last year Sweet Recipe collection, I reviewed the   Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base #2 Berry . And now they are combining both of them and creating a new Etude House Magic Any Cushion. I love how they look. They're just like macaroons to me! Kyaa... There are 3 colors just like the Baby Choux Base, Peach, Mint and Berry. It claims that the cushion can magically tone up the skin. So if you have redness, you can choose the mint one. If you have pale skin like me, berry is the perfect one, and peach can also whiten your skin tone. I love this idea because it is more practical becaus...

Review: Eveline Glicerini Hand and Nail Cream Bio Olive + Karite Butter

Back then, my mom bought me this hand cream at Sasa Hongkong. At first, I was sceptical about this because I've never heard about it before,  Eveline is a pretty name for a girl but never heard about them on cosmetics or so. It's a brand from Poland that has been sold worldwide. I love Sasa because they sell a lot of products, so many brands that I don't know and they are affordable. I hope Sasa will open in Indonesia, someday *dreaming*. After searching and browsing, I'm surprised that they have so many products for make up and care (face, ,body, hair). Such a lot of products. And I've found this on their web, the description of the hand cream and what's in it. GLYCERINE CONCENTRATED HAND AND NAIL CREAM DEEPLY NOURISHING + REGENERATING BIO OLIVE + KARITE BUTTER strengthens nails  48h perfectly absorbing formula NATURAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Glycerine hand cream ensures deep nourishment and intense regeneration.
