17's Berry Crush Lipstain

When I first started blogging I saw Maxfactors Lipfinity Liptint Pen in the shops and after that I saw similar products popping up everywhere.

What I've got today is a similar concept, a lipstain pen, but with a slight twist. This has a balm included so you can keep your lips moist and soft without the fear of licking the tint off.

Berry Crush is another offering from the 17 Spring Collection in Boots.

I quite like the idea of lipstains as I don't like wearing lipglosses or sticks on a day to day basis. Stains offer the colour without the feel of a product on your lips, and having a balm included is very helpful as I have found stains can make your lips feel very dry.

  This particular stain is a delicate rosy pink and the balm (ofc) is clear, as you can see above the two together provide a delicate hint of colour.

(it took two days for the colour to wear off my hand after swatching it, I tried everything and it wouldn't budge)

 Because my lips are highly coloured naturally the stain didn't show amazingly well but you can still see the touch of healthy pinkness coming through here. Very much 'my lips but better'.
 So are you a fan of stains or do you prefer lipsticks & glosses more?

  5. I've only ever tried one stain. It was completely the wrong colour, and I didn't like the feel of it either. This one sounds great, though, as it comes with a balm. I do tend to ave trouble finding lip colours that suit me, though. I can't stand lipglosses, so I generally just tend to stick to my trusty vaseline unless it's a night out, when I'll slick on some lipstick. Thanks for the post!
