Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Review!

Hey everyone!! I'm back with another Revlon lip product review - the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains! I'm actually surprised this product has made its way to Barbados so quickly, after only being released this July! They can be found at Cave Shepherd locations and are around $25.00 local price.
Revlon described these lippies as -

 "It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood."

 Swatches & Review!

T-B - Cherish, Sweetheart & Honey

 I've got three colours- Cherish, Sweetheart and Honey, all of which are pink shades. Generally, these go on extremely smooth and have a slight tingly feeling on application- that can be explained by one of the ingredients: peppermint. -Some people may love or hate this aspect, personally I'm not bothered by it.
The lasting power varies on these, Sweetheart 'stains' the lips the most, probably because it is the most pigmented colour out of the bunch. The other two don't last as long.
They are all very well pigmented and true to colour.
Also, a good thing about this product is the fact that the colour on the packaging and the colour you get inside match pretty well - that can't be said about other lip products on the market, sometimes it's a blind guess when picking out colours due to poor colour reflections.

Packaging:

Sweetheart

 The packaging is also great, they remind me of the Clinique Chubby Sticks, but at a fraction of the price! They twist up to get more product. One bad thing however, is the fact that after multiple uses the point of the balm isn't as sharp so it makes application a bit more sloppy and not as precise.

 Swatches:

T-B- Sweetheart, Cherish and Honey

 As you can see, the first swatch Sweetheart is a bright pink, but very wearable - this colour reminds me of the Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart (similar names too ^-^). The second colour Cherish is a light, blue-based pink - similar to Viva Glam GaGa, although not at pigmented and the third colour Honey is a very wearable pink, definately a YLBB shade (your lips but better). I can see Honey being suitable for most skin types and everyday wear. In the picture it shows up a bit more brown than it actually is. It is more of a dusty pink. All three of these are cream finishes with no shimmer.

Overall, I think these will be a very popular product, they provide the moisturisation of a balm but the quality of a lipstick with the easy application in the form of a stick.
Final Grade : Packaging: 4/5  Product: 5/5
