I love make-up but when it comes to lipstick, I’m lazy. I’ll apply it in the A.M. but that’s about it. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. That’s why I LOVE stains. Put it one once in the morning and you’re pretty much good to go. Any they look natural. So when I heard Revlon was coming out with balm stains, I was more than jazzed. And as you can see, I’ve amassed quite the collection! Of the 12 available, I have 8–the 8 that suit me most.
L-R Above:
Romantic
Smitten
Lovesick
Sweetheart
Cherish
Darling
Honey
Rendezvous
From Revlon:: It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood
From Me:: So far, I’ve really been enjoying these. They aren’t drying and really do leave a lovely stain. The only complaint I have is that the pink colors can kinda look the same on the lips, especially Lovesick and Sweetheart. AND in my experience, after reapplication, the color will appear deeper than the first application since your lips are already stained. So be aware of this. But all in all, I think these will be something I will use all summer. The pinks really are gorgeous and the red is going to be great for winter or more vampy looks. Rendezvous, the orange, may not be a color that gets as much use since it is ORANGE, but it’ll definitely blend well with a pink gloss or another stain to even it out.
Verdict:: Must buy, but don’t pay the full $7-8 each for these. Wait for them to go on sale in the drugstore and then go crazy, like I did 
Enjoy the swatches below!

But slowly and surely, my desire to sew, paste, rip, cut, bend, staple, and adhere grew into a full blown obsession!

ohhh love these! I will need to try them, Ive been on a Revlon kick lately the lipstick is so great!
So good!! Revlon has been turning out some good stuff lately, although I do love these a lot more than the lip butters!
Thanks for posting the pictures! I have been hearing such good things about this stain, and I went to the revlon site to see more, and would you believe they don’t have any pictures of the different shades? So this is a great help
Hi Eagle Rowe!
My name is Alice and I liked your post so much that I mentioned it and linked back to it in a post that I wrote about ‘favourite lip shades around the world’. Hope you do not mind, but if you do, just let me know and I will remove the link.
Thank you
