Soooo as I am having a dinner break from my revision, I thought I'd share this quick little post with you whilst I munch on my banana butty! I've had this written for a while and have only just got round to publishing it today. Unfortunately my Blogger picture uploader has been refusing to work for about a week now (is this just me or is anyone else having similar problems?) so if it's not fixed soon, I'm afraid you might not be graced with my presence for a good few days (you poor, poor lot). Enjoy!
After all the hype around Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain* (gob full or what?!), I was delighted to receive one in the lovely package of goodies I won in Amy's blog competition a while back.
After all the hype around Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain* (gob full or what?!), I was delighted to receive one in the lovely package of goodies I won in Amy's blog competition a while back.
I received the shade Crush, a deep berry colour that is perfect for the winter months.
First off, the packaging of the balm is lovely. The product dispenses as a fat crayon which actually allows surprisingly accurate application for amateur lippy wearers like me. It also smells like mint, which surprised me at first but makes a nice change for a lip product.
Revlon describes the Balm Stain as a product that gives
"softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of colour that lasts hour after hour".
Pretty accurate description I'd say! The colour is quite deep and maybe not to everyones taste but I quite like it. I find it to be quite moisturising and it leaves my lips feeling pretty smooth.
I did try to picture this on my lips but the colour representation was really inaccurate (it came across as a darkish pink), so I thought it would be a bit useless and gave up.

One small tip; definitely apply a slick of lip balm before applying. Whether you think your lips are dry are not, without it they will end up a patchy, horrible mess like mine did!
Overall its a lovely little product, I currently have my eye on the shade Honey!
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains can be bought from Superdrug (here) or Boots (here), now reduced from £7.99 to £5 on both websites!

Ahh I thought it must just have been me, I wish they'd fix it, apparently the same problem has been occuring since November!! xx
DeleteSuch a pretty colour, would love to try this out!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, definitely worth a whirl :) xx
DeleteThese balms are so lovely =) I have yet to try them but from my experience they are always good!
ReplyDeleteYes they're a great little product if you're not so confident with really bold lips! xx

Definitely worth a try if you haven't already! :) xx
DeleteI love wearing these! They are some of my favorite lip colors, with a really nice color range and it's so hydrating (and a pretty close dupe in my opinion to the Clinique chubby sticks!) I love your blog, btw!

Yeah I've heard they're really comparable to the Clinique range, but I haven't tried one of those myself yet! Thank you so much! xx
DeleteI have this shade (and two others) and I love it! :) x

I'm thinking I need to invest in another shade, but can't quite decide which one! xx
DeleteI have this shade and I love it. Really need to invest in some more, too!
