Today I will be reviewing the Wet n wild megalast balm stain for you guys, I purchased mine from well.ca which is basically like an online drugstore. I haven't seen these balm stains in-stores so I'm not sure if Canada even has them yet. We tend to get new releases later than the US and at much higher prices which is unfortunate but sometimes its worth the price difference. I picked up two colors, Pinky Promise( a frosty pink) and A Stiff Pink( hot pink). Well.ca didn't have the complete color range, but these two seemed like the ones I'd wear the most than the nude and red colors. The price I paid was $3.99 each which is about double the price sold in the US. I personally am alright with the price since the only balm stain I've seen is by Revlon and they cost between $7-$10.

Out of the two, my favorite is A Stiff Pink since Pinky Promise made my lips look more of a brown frosty color that washed me out. They apply really nice on the lips and are opaque after one coat. The formula is moisturizing but I tend to apply my rose salve before using any lip colors anyways. The finish of the stains are glossy but not shiny except for the Pinky Promise which I wasn't a fan of. The frost finish didn't do any justice for my lips, the color wasn't anything special either. I wouldn't recommend this shade, but I think if you use it over a more pigmented lipstick as a gloss it can be quite pretty. When worn alone, it just made the lines in my lip more visible since the color payoff was muted. A Stiff Pink is the perfect color, brightens up my skin when I wear it and makes my teeth look whiter! I've been on the search for a hot pink lipstick and this balm stain is a winner. When I was taking off the color, it left a rosy stain that didn't wash off. I think this shade is a bit bold for everyday wear but I definitely think it will look amazing for the spring. Check these affordable lip stains at your local drugstore! I hope these are at my local walmart in the near future, I have my eye on rico mauve which looks like the my lips but better shade! Have a Happy Wednesday!
