Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Cherish
I have the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the shade Cherish. Its
a blue based light pink shade which we will talk about in a bit. The lip balm
stain itself has a peppermint fragrance which is not too strong on the lips
(but if you have a very sensitive nose you will get bothered by the fragrance
until it dies off in about 10 minutes)
The stain needs to be applied to well exfoliated lips else it shows up patchy
on the lips. It does feel cool on application because of the peppermint I
think.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Packaging & Price
The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains come in thick pencil forms. The
pencil is of the same color as the product inside. The end of the pencil is silver
in color while the cap is the same as the rest of the body. It is a retractable pencil so you never need to sharpen it.

Overall the
packaging is cute, travel friendly and very attractive.
The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is priced at Rs 600 which
is quite steep but I think looking at the price of Clinique chubby sticks
Revlon priced it much lower to stay competitive.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Cherish - Pigmentation, Texture
& Staying Power
Different shades of Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains seem to have
slightly different textures and staying power. The shade Cherish is blue
based light pink color. A lovely shade if you have fair skin. If you are
wheatish or dusky then I personally feel there are other shades available that
would suit you better. It does not suit my wheatish complexion and I usually
layer it with a light peach gloss to cut down the poppy pink color it imparts
to the lips.

The shade Cherish is not very pigmented. A single swipe will
not show up on pigmented lips. On clear lips it will give a hint of pink. For my
pigmented lips I need 6 swipes (yes I know I too get tired applying that many
swipes!) Even with 6 swipes it does not hide the pigmentation as you will see
in the photographs of the lip swatches. The color looks more poppy pink in
person (it is more like how it appears in the hand swatch.)

The second lip swatch is of the ‘stain’ that is left behind after about an
hour – again you will see the lip pigmentation is showing through but it looks
more natural.

The texture of the Just Kissable Lip Balm Stain is very smooth.
Initially if your lips are very dry this will take about a minute to settle
down and impart its smoothness. I suggest exfoliated lips so that this
stain applies evenly. If you apply it to parched lips it will smooth out
your lips but would still look patchy.
The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Cherish has a good staying
power. It initially stays glossy for about 3 hours. After that it leaves
a nice stain on the lips which is more darker than the initial color (and
is more suited to wheatish skin tones!) - so I usually apply this at least an
hour before I step out and then I top it with some gloss - then it gives me a
healthy pink color and stays on almost the whole day leaving behind a natural pink
stain on my lips.

Overall I really like the concept of a chubby pencil and I am really
looking forward to trying out other shades like Honey. I do wish instead
of peppermint this had like a strawberry or melon fragrance - then I would have
been head over heels in love with it :)
