As we all know Clinique started the "balm stain" trend in a crayon form by releasing their Chubby Sticks. Since then other companies have released their own take on the "Chubby Sticks". Revlon and MUA have released their own versions of the "Chubby Sticks" and they look identical - packaging wise.
Revlon have called theirs the "Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain", (bit of a mouth full if you ask me!) When you apply the product it is like a balm and it's really moisturising. Then it dries and becomes a stain that last quite a long time and they smell like peppermint. They're pigmented and it has got a twist up mechanism - NO SHARPENING!
MUA have called theirs the "Power Pout". I think the MUA stain is a bit glossier than Revlon's, but MUA's doesn't last as long. The power pout is similar in pigmentation and smell to Revlon JBK balm stain.
Swatches.
Top to bottom: MUA - Broken Hearted, Revlon - Honey, MUA - Irreplaceable, Revlon - Rendezvous
My favourite is Revlon's Honey as it is the most flattering on me!
They are both great and both are cheaper than clinique's Chubby Sticks.
MUA Power Pout: £3
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain: £7.99
Which one do you like?
