The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen – Swatches and Review

I received a sample of The Balm Stainiac Hint of Tint in Beauty Queen (berry pink) last summer with an online order and I finally tried it. I am in love! This unique water based formula gives you lots of time to blend and the results are an amazing healthy flush of colour to your lips and cheeks. It lasted all day on my cheeks and a really long time on my lips. Even better is the fact it’s totally affordable. I think it retails for $17 US and $18 CAD. I will definitely be picking up a full sized version of this product and check out the other available colours (Homecoming Queen – soft peach and Prom Queen – light rosy pink).

Stainiac hint of tint works with all skin tones. Dab just a touch on your cheeks or layer to pop the color. Fear not those dreaded streaks that most tints leave behind – Stainiac’s water-based formula is designed to give you more time before the stain sets.

Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain in Flush – Swatches and Review

The shade Flush is described as sheer rouge. When applied it looks just like that natural flush of one’s skin so I find that shade name quite appropriate! It looks incredibly natural and not like you are wearing any makeup at all as it melts into the skin. It is very easy to blend out and I had no troubles applying it. The first time I wore it I applied after I had put on my “face” and I had some fading. Actually it pretty much disappeared. The second time I waited to apply a light dusting of setting powder until after I had applied the Hourglass Cheek Stain and it lasted all day. If you are prone to blushes fading on you than you may want to pass. I was very happy to find this worked for me with a bit of powder because I love how it looks.

The product dispenses through an easy to use, twist & click sponge applicator, so you can either dab it on to your cheeks using that or just with your finger. The sheer formula gives you a light, natural looking end look that can be layered up for a more dramatic effect .Hourglass formulas tend to be packed with goodness, and this product is no exception!
