The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain in charm I had ordered came in the post a few days ago!

I sometimes find that the colour that is on the packaging to show what colour the product is most of the time incorrect. However I found that the packaging colour was almost the same colour as the product, it is such a good match that you defiantly know what shade you are getting. I quite liked the fact that you don't have to sharpen it like a normal 'pencil' type makeup product. You just have to twist the silver bottom and it turned up, but don't turn it up to much because you may break it! 

The colour is a little pigmented although I have heard that this lighter shade isn't as pigmented as some of the darker shades. As it is sort of a nude coral shade it doesn't need to be that pigmented as it just looks like that your lips are slightly tinted.

I have quite naturally dark lips so I found that the colour made my lips a bit paler but with a hint of coral which I do quite like. It has quite a minty scent as well which I thought would bother me at first because sometimes some mint scents can give me a headache, but I didn't find the mint scent to be a problem. 

After a few hours my lips were a bit darker but the stain was still showing up. I even tested it out not long after I had put it on by drinking a cup of tea and the stain still seemed to be on my lips as nothing showed up on the mug unlike some lip products may do.  Normally with lip products I only wear them sometimes on a night out, however because this shade is quite subtle I find that I am wanting to wear it out in the day time. 

I would recommend this product as I think that it is worth the money, I am glad that I took a leap and brought a lip stain after having no luck with lipsticks. I did look at cheaper versions of the same style of product but because of the good reviews I had seen/heard I am really glad that I brought this one instead of a cheaper version. I am not saying that the cheaper versions aren't good because for all I know they could be brilliant, I just haven't tried them out. As I have had some success with this shade I may go out and buy some other shades because Revlon do have some beautiful colours that are from what I have heard are wonderfully pigmented.

I have never really been a fan of lipstick, I have on some occasions brought some and worn it out. However I always think that I go for the wrong colours that doesn't suit me. 

I remember this one time I was going out on a Saturday night and I had red lipstick on and a black dress nothing too fancy and my mom said that the shade of lipstick didn't suit me. Thanks mom! Since this comment I have never really worn lipstick out on a day to day basis or even on a night out. I could see where she was coming from, I just didn't think that the shade of lipstick suited my skin tone. 

The only lipsticks I have brought have been cheap MUA ones that if I can remember you can get for a couple of pound from Superdrug. Colours such as a few different shades of red and a light pink. I didn't want to buy anything too expensive because of my track record with failing lipstick. 

For a while now I have been wanting to have some sort of lip product that I can wear. I feel like the makeup I wear at the moment has gotten quite boring and I want to add something new to it but still keep it quite natural looking. I brought a Boots own make tinted lip balm as it was the winter and I needed something to moisturise my lips. It reminded me of one that I had when I was younger that I was obsessed with so I thought I would try it out. It was quite pinky too pinky for me I wasn't too keen on it but I kept on using it throughout the winter to save my lips from the cold. 

However some of the wonderful youtubers that I watch mentioned the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. I watched a few different reviews on them and I decided that I would invest. I did see them in my local Boots and I was going to buy one but I didn't know what colour was best. I did try to swatch some on my hand but the sample ones weren't in a good condition at all so I didn't fancy touching them! (Sort it out Boots!)

I think that I would rather go for a nude colour rather than a red or another colour. The makeup I wear when I go out is quite natural and toned down, just some foundation, blusher, brown eye liner and mascara nothing too fancy! So I think that a nude colour will go perfect with my day to day look. 

As I am not too sure when I will be next near a store that sells the balm stain I decided I would order some off the internet. I had a look around and I found a company on Ebay that is selling them sealed, brand new for about £2 cheaper than they are Boots and Superdrug (£7.99 each normally). I ordered the balm stain in Charm as it is a nude coral colour which I am hoping will suit me better than previous lip product purchases. 

It should hopefully be sent out tomorrow and be with me in a few days so I shall do a review on it when it comes.
