I absolutely love this balm stain! It is lightweight but still has enough colour. The more you apply, the more opague your colour. The darker the colour you purchase, the darker the stain. My lips are dry, and before i apply lipstick i have to apply lip balm, but with this product, i dont have to! Yay! I feel like it is age appropriate for teens and it is also great if you are just a beginner at makeup as it is easy to apply. Love it! I would so totally recomend this! Im going to buy all the colours asap!
