A Balm Upon My Lips...CANMAKE Stay-On Balm Rouge swatches

Two weeks ago, while patrolling the cosmetic section at AEON on the Mori side of LakeTown Mall, I came across a CANMAKE display featuring the Stay-On Balm Rouge. I don't know how this product slipped by me, but I had no idea CANMAKE had recently added these lip balms to their permanent lineup.

The Stay-On Balm Rouges are CANMAKE's answer to the Revlon Lip Butters; they're a balm, lipstick, and gloss rolled into one. CANMAKE Stay-On Balm Rouges come in four shades: 01, 02, 03, 04, and retail for ¥609 ($6.28).

From left to right: 01, 02, 03, 04.

Intrigued by this new product (and the reasonable price), I purchased all four; the display at AEON was out of the 02 shade, but I was able to find it at the R.O.U store in the Kaze side of LakeTown.

With flash from left to right: 01, 02, 03, 04.

The Stay-On Balm Rouges contain: shea butter, honey, squalane, royal jelly extract, jojoba oil, olive oil, rose hip oil, grapeseed oil, macadamia oil, pomegranate oil, and UV protection (whatever that may be). The lightweight, non-sticky texture of this product feels great on the lips, while providing a moisturizing, lustrous, playful sheer(but pigmented)-wash of color. I definitely see myself reaching for these balms this Summer.

Out of the four lip colors, my favorites are 02, 03, and 04...okay, they're all my favorite :P

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
