Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain review

All a girl needs is lipstick! This is what we say when a lip colour is good enough that all we need to put on is that lip colour, and we do not need to wear any more make up... This is so true for this lip balm.

5 words: This is a fantastic line!...  

I have been using this product for about  a year now, and I still have quite a lot of product left on the product I purchased since last year. I have only used one the 025 - Sweetheart Valentine. One is enough to convince me that this is a wonderful line. Of all the colours available, the 025 Sweetheart Valentine seems to be the most attractive. The other colours are good too, but this swatch seems to be the most versatile of them all (the colour is both casual and formal, it is suitable for most occasions).

you can see how vivid the colours are here, I used the product on the left side of my lips

I love it because the color is very girly. It doesn't make it look like I am trying to hard to impress yet enough for people to notice the girliness. When you apply this product it literally glides on to your lips easily. (Sometimes when I'm putting on this product I like to pretend I'm like those women in movies where they easily put on lipstick in one try, this product makes it happen like that)

pros:

- great colours

- vivid colours (very pigmented)

- affordable

- long last colour

- long lasting product

- slightly moisturizes your lips

- build-a-ble (range from soft stain to bold lipstick colour)

- easily glides on lips (like those commercials)

cons:

- NOT a lip stain

- weird minty taste

- suitable for summer but not winter (especially for moisturizing reasons)

see how vivid the colour is, and notice how the top stroke is less pigmented then the second one

You can see how the product is build-a-ble.Take a look at the first stroke compared to the second stroke. For the first stroke I only applied the product once and for the second, I applied it twice. You can see how the second stroke is much more vivid. You can also compare the colour with the product before it is applied to my hand. AND despite my hand being so pale (compared to normal lips) you can see how vivid it looks. Imagine how it would look on lips!

what it looks like when I wipe it product with tissue (the tissue and the skin)

This proves this is not REALLY a lip stain... maybe close to being a lip tint. See how easily the product can be wiped off and left with almost no presence on my hand.

The colours are more suitable for Summer as well as the moisturizing capabilities. (the product helps me moisturize my lips during the summer time but for winter, I will need to apply some lip balm before using this product). 

I like the colour range they have, price is reasonable (did I tell you one stick lasted me for a year? I put on that lip colour almost every day), you can find it at most drug stores (if not all)

Update Feb. 19, 2014:

Since I have finally finished this product. I want to mention how I appreciate the ease they have made it that even when you are almost done your product, the container does not drill a hole into the product (e.g. chapsticks and other traditional lip balms) and the product can easily be retracted back into the container.

10/10 by far the best lip colour I have used so far!!
