Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain Review & Swatches
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain are a new chubby lip balm pencil much like Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm but as a mere quarter the price. Steal!
Jordana recently launched their Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in eight shades for the Fall 2013 season and they should be popping up at Walgreen locations shortly.
How did I like them?
Fact is I adore Jordana Easyshine Glossy Lip Color so by default Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain were a hit for me and I didn’t even have to try the formula to know it.
Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains are the same concept as Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain and Hard Candy All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stain in the fact they are a lip balm pencil but also leave behind a stain after they fade away.

Each chubby pencil has a twist up design so no need for a sharpener. They are shaped and almost sized exactly like Clinique’s own popular pencil housing 0.095 oz of product (Clinique’s has a smidge more of 0.1 oz).
These come in nice selection of eight shades in a range of nudes, berries, and a few popping colors as well. They have a very faint fruity bubble-gummish flavor and scent that’s very subtle. They provide opaque coverage on a single application and have a lighter balm-y texture that isn’t as heavy as Clinique’s version. The thinner formula provides light moisture but doesn’t hydrate super dry lips in my experience. They wear quite comfortably without migrating or feathering on my drier lips nor do they lose any intensity through the four hour wear I got out of them. They have touch of a sheen but aren’t terribly glossy or shiny. As they wear away the darker shades leave behind a very nice staining effect that lasts an extra two to three hours.

As a budget pick they are quite a lovely little pick up especially if you’re obsessed with these chubby pencil balms that brands keep launching! Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain have a formula all their own that isn’t really comparable to other pencils I already own so they are worth picking up especially for the long length stain they leave behind after the initial application wears away!
Plus did I mention I love the $2.99 price tag? You can own all the shades easily at this price!
These are available now at Walgreens or online at www.jordanacosmetics.com
