Revlon Just Bitten, Kissable Balm Stain


I really like the idea of having a balm in a handy crayon shape, that has a lovely stain of colour......and this is exactly what Revlon have delivered! It has a subtle minty scent to it which is appealing (I often find lip products smell awful!) and a nice moisturizing plumping feel when applied. The colour is a lot more pigmented on lips than when tested on the hand- which for me was a downside as the colour I chose looked too dark on my lips, as when I tested it in the shop it looked a lot more sheer-I have the colour crush a bright berry colour! The staying power is fairly good, but even after the moisturizing feel (that you get with any lip product) has gone; you are still left with a pretty stain of colour. You can wear this in two ways, either blot on top of lip balm for a more subtle stain, or apply liberally for more dramatic colour. The Clinique Chubby Stick is a very similar product on the market, though is more pricey at £16, however does come in a brilliant 16 shades and was a Tatler Beauty Award Winner! All in all this is a great product at a reasonable price and I would definitely recommend it..... now I want to try all the colours! The Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm is available at Boots and Superdrug for £7.99 there are 12 shades available.
