Being one for the glossy yet glossless lip products when I saw what looked like Revlons alternative to the Clinique Chubby Stick I had to give it a go. The Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stains & Balms have been flying off shelves since they arrived in the UK and are a little difficult to get hold of, but I've managed to pick up the shade Cherish, a gorgeous light pink with a hint of purple.
First of all these give no way near as much coverage as the Clinique Chubby Stick, just the tinniest hint of colour that can be built up with application. It's more on the lip balm than gloss end of the scale which I loved as they feel really comfortable on my lips, which brings me onto the next thing - the texture. It's really easy to apply, feels very nourishing with a hint of mint scent. Not as moisturising or creamy as the chubby sticks but do last around the same time a good couple of hours. Once the shine wears off leaves a colour stain to give that 'just bitten' look.
They aren't the most moisturising of formulas, but definitely not drying so I would stay perhaps look for something more nourishing if you've got dry lips. At £7.99 I'm definitely interested in picking up another shade, perhaps Charm.
Will you be picking up Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains?
I'm going to make an exception with my spending ban and pick one of these up at the weekend, they look so nice! xx

Ah you should! :) Enjoy! x
DeleteI just blogged about the shade Sweetheart but I found the exact opposite to be true - Sweetheart is SO pigmented it builds up to pretty much opaque coverage. I also bought Cherish so I'll see how that goes too :) Thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Will have a look - maybe I'll get that shade too :) x
DeleteI want these sooooo badly. Hopefully I'll find them soon c:

DeleteI am finding it so hard to decide between the Clinique chubby sticks and Revlon Just Bitten lipstains, think I'm leaning more towards Clinique now I've read your review, though, as my lips are quite dry - thanks for sharing! xx
ReplyDeleteNo problem thrilled you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment! x
DeleteI just got Rendezvous and it's the perfect low-maintainence red lip, I love it! Really tempted by all the colours though, I was impressed with the formula too! xx
ReplyDeleteOooh I almost got that shade but they were out of stock! Thanks for the comment Daisy :) x
DeleteSo tempted to purchase these although I know I have enough lip products at the moment to last me a lifetime but these Balm Stains are killing me because they look gorgeous. I have my eyes on Charm and Lovesick.When will this beauty obsession ever end eh? NEVER!haha :)
