I love this product, I got mine in the shade: 005 "Crush Begun", which is a deep mauve-ish color. I wasn't sure what color to buy but it ended up being perfect, in fact, I think it would be universally flattering and look good on pretty much any skin tone as it is a very natural color and not too dramatic.
This is the first lip stain I have tried and I was super impressed, I love the fact that you can apply it so it looks barely there, but you can also make it look like a bold lip color really easily if you want as well. I prefer going for the "barely there" look myself, and it is much easier to achieve that look with this stain than it is with lipstick. I also like that it is pretty much like a fat crayon, which makes applying it really simple, although it took me a bit of adjusting to get used to.
I think this product would be great for a makeup newbie who isn't quite ready for lipstick yet, or if you're like me, somebody who hates having to reapply lipstick all the time. It lasts for a long time and is really moisturizing, so overall I would definitely recommend it! I am already planning to get more, I've had my eye on the orangey-color one (040 Rendezvous).
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.
Purchased this with excitement that it would last, not be clumpy as it is like a magic marker...........well it did stain my lips .....not the color that I thought it would, not the color I bought! Maybe because I have older lady lips but it ran in the cracks. So I stuck in the makeup bag and forgot about it for about 1 month. I opened it (cap was on tight) and it was almost dries out. Stood it up to see if that was the problem, nope it was almost gone. Well I won't by this again so I then tried a different product................
Love love this! I have purchased 3 shades for me and have given them as gifts to many of my friends. Revlon kissable balm stains look like fat crayons and addresses the issues I had with the other stains. This balm stain is moisturizing and is so easy to use. Just swipe it like a lipbalm.
Honey is a neutral mauve that I wear almost daily.
Darling is a light violet that is also wearable during daytime. Both however leave a stain that is deeper than what you see in the stick. I think this all depends on your chemistry as the stains don't look the same on all people. It lasts almost 5 to 6 hours and that means I only need to touch up once and look 'healthy'.
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.
Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are amazing! It does exactly what it says and the colours are pigmented. The stay power of these balm stains are just great, I have used several other balm stains before and I must say that these have given me the best results and I can trust they wont fade in an uneven, unflattering manner.
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.
The color is amazing, it is surprisingly long lasting (it lasted 3 hours for me!), and the texture is great!
