I am completely addicted to these lip stains! They are really easy to apply and last FOREVER. They also do a good job of hydrating your lips, although I still recommend always using a lip balm underneath your lipstick :)
Good variety of shades as well, which is dangerous because I kinda want them all.
This is an amazing lip product! Superestore often has great prices on them (picked a couple up for $4.99 a few weeks ago), however at Shopper's they are around $11.99.
This crayon-esque lipstain goes on so smoothly, is very vibrant and has some glossiness (not the sticky kind, the shiny kind!) when you first apply. It stays glossy for a while, and then dries to a matte stain. I've never tried a lipstain before, so I can't compare it to anything, but I can tell you that it STAYS ON! You can lick your lips, be out for hours, eat food, drink, and that colour is going to stay put. The ONLY time I've ever had it fade slightly in the middle was after working 6-7 hours, drinking a lot of water and licking my lips a LOT because they were dry and I didn't have chapstick on me. And even at that time, it was just barely faded in the middle and I didn't have it with me to re-apply.
I've never had it smudge or smear by the end of the night, but I haven't tested it out by trying to smudge it with my hand.
At the end of the night, when I take my make-up off with a makeup-remover wipe, I find that I still wake up with some colour deposit on my lips in the morning if I don't do it in the mirror and see if all the colour is off.
Overall:
- Price is good/average dependent on which store you buy it from
- Quality is great
- Effectiveness is amazing, the colour stays on incredibly well and the colour ranges are very pretty
I forgot to add the fact that it has a minty flavour when you apply it to your lips, so no gross tastes with this product (unlike many lipsticks)!
This is a great twist between a lipstick and a stain. Its heavy enough to coat your lips with nice feeling coverage and colour, but does not feel heavy, waxy or sticky. The colour does last a good while, hence the stain part. I have never liked lipsticks as you are constantly re-applying them, but this pencil is a great combo of colour and staying power, with the odd touch up. It's tube lasted a good while too, but it was hard to tell when you are getting low, until its almost out and you see the end of the bullet. Its my new favourite "must-have".
I loved the double ended balm, on one end, and lip stain, on the other. First, I would apply the balm to moisturize my lips. It's just a regular white balm, unscented; breaks off easily. Then I add the lip stain, which is actually a very pretty color. I use the balm to moisturize after. Nice "flame"!
I really like that this lip stain comes with a balm. I actually thought that the stain lasted longer if you put the balm on first and then apply the stain. The color isn't overwhelming, but it does add enough of a tint and is great for everyday wear.
I got the stain plus balm which was wonderful. I normally find that stains dry out my lips so the added balm was great. Colour was great and lasted a long time. Will probably be getting more of the colours.
I'm a huge fan of lip stains (especially lip stains that don't bleed out of your lips), and this one is great! I apply the stain in the morning, and by the afternoon it's still going strong. The available colours are beautiful, too.
The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is just what its name says it is. It combines the gloss and moisture of a lip balm and the lasting power of a stain.
Some pros of this balm stain are as follows:
-Comes in just over 10 different colours
-Easy to apply and handle
-Retractable
-Has a pleasant smell (its sort of a peppermint type of smell but its not overwhelming which I find some others like the Bath & Body Works balms to be)
-Great staying power and will last for hours, I find that after the glossy effect wears off and I'm left with just stained lips it's still a nice colour and there's little to no transfer.
The one con I have is the price which at drugstores is about $8-10 or you can get it at Wal-Mart for $6-8 which isn't too bad but I can get decent drugstore lipsticks (i.e Rimmel) for cheaper.
I will definitely purchase more of these in the future and would recommend them to others as well!
What I like about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain:
-Great pigmentation with buildable colour.
-Stain lasts up to 4 hours on me.
-Unique peppermint scent – At first, it was a little strange but now I hardly even notice it.
-Feels lightweight and smooth but not greasy.
-Super cute packaging.
-No sharpener required, retractable crayon.
I love this balm stain! The colours are gorgeous and it really stays on your lips for a really long time. Anyone would probably be able to find a colour they like. It doesn't really dry out your lips as much. I recommend applying a chapstick before you apply the balm stain.
