Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Top to Bottom: Romantic, Sweetheart, Honey

I feel as though there needs to be a drum roll playing at this moment. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains! Ah, finally! I've had this post sitting in my drafts for weeks! I've been looking for a proper way to present them and swatch them! These Just Bitten Kissable Stains are sold at drugstores such CVS, Rite, Target, etc, you know, the usual! They're akin to the Clinique Chubby Sticks but a ton cheaper!

Left to Right: Honey, Sweetheart, Romantic

They come in a range of colors and I picked up Honey, Sweetheart, and Romantic. The popular ones seem to be Honey, Sweetheart, and Rendezvous. I did pick the first two but an Orange/Coral stain was something I already have a TON of. I actually like these stains more than I thought I would! They apply evenly although not much color is dispersed in one swipe. It has a minty feeling to it which I don't really mind because it goes away in seconds! These stains actually stain! And they stay on for hours like you had just freshly applied it. I also like that you don't have to sharpen them because they twist up!

There was a nice range of colors. I like when companies come out with a product and provide colors that everyone can enjoy! Honey is a brownish berry tone. It seems to just amplify everyone's natural lip color and give it a little more oomph, so to speak. I've been wearing this one a lot to work! Sweetheart is a pink-berry-light fuchsia (I know, I know, what?!) It's hard to describe because in the pencil it looks like a bubblegum pink and then when applied to the lips it's more of a fuchsia berry tone! The last one is Romantic, which I haven't seen too many people snatch up! It was the only one with multiples left on the display. Ketchup red is the only way I can describe this color. It reminds me a lot of M.A.C.'s Lady Bug lipstick but this one is more sheer.

The stains apply nicely with no tugging and are surprisingly pigmented. They can be easily sheered out or layered to pack a color punch. A great plus is that they are also moisturizing which is great as my lips tend to be on the drier side.

All in all, I'm really impressed with these lip stains! I prefer them A LOT more to the Maybelline 10 hour stains. There's a lot of product for what you pay for and the color selection is brilliant for every kind of lipstick lover. I won't be picking up anymore colors as these are the three that I was most interested in but that shouldn't stop you guys from checking out the rest!

So what do you think? Will you be picking up some Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stains or have you got some already?

  4. I have two of these colors (Honey + Sweetheart) as well as Smitten... I love them! Your post makes me want Romantic too, haha. It looks like a great, wearable red for fairer skin tones like us!! I like Smitten a bit better than Sweetheart on me for a bright lip -- Sweetheart looks a little abrasive and is less wearable for me! Honey is AMAZING though. I can't wait to get my hands on more! Yay for Revlon being awesome!
