![]() They’ll only last on the lips for a couple of hours, less if you eat or drink. These are lightweight tinted balms with a glossy finish. Unlike Revlon and Jordana who advertise their chubby balm sticks as lip stains, Sally Hansen only claims that the Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm is a “nourishing lip balm with a hint of tint and boost of moisturizing shine,” so don’t buy one thinking it’ll be a long wearing lip product with opaque color. You won’t be able to achieve the intensity of the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense with these. The pigmentation is sheer but somewhat buildable. The best of all, in my opinion, are still the Clinique Chubby Sticks which are fragrance-free. The Sally Hansen Colorfast Balms have a vanilla scent which I prefer over the peachy/mango scent of the Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Sticks and the fruity raspberry scented Jordana Twist & Shines. The Sally Hansen feel a smidge drier in comparison but they have a glossier finish. The Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains, Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Sticks and Clinique Chubby Sticks all feel feel creamier and have more slip. The Colorfast balms feel nice and smooth on the lips and are moderately hydrating but I wouldn’t call them super moisturizing. ![]() ![]() The original retail price on these is $5.29 each but they’re currently 75% off making them $1.32 apiece. I only managed to find three left in the display that were unopened - Spirited Spice, Health Nut, and Pumped Up Plum - and I bought them all. The Sally Hansen Colorfast balms are supposed to be available in 10 shades but there were slim pickings at the CVS store I visited. I didn’t expect much from the balm sticks but, let me tell you, I love them! I browsed the entire store’s selection and I only ended up buying the Wet n Wild trio in Knock on Wood and a few of the Sally Hansen Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balms. CVS’s semi-annual clearance sale is currently going on and although there are quite a number of items that have been marked down, there aren’t very many things I’m interested in buying.
