Everyone’s a lover of the Chubby Stick, the size; convenience and sheer colour make it an un-forgettable lipgasm of a product. Well, no need to spend R215.00 for Cliniques Chubby when Revlon have one that’s half the price yet packs the same punch.
Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain is a mouthful to say, but I assure you, it’s a name that will be on your lips forever! This is Revlon’s revolution in lip colour. The packaging is very Chubby Stick, with its thick retractable crayon style in the colour of choice with a silver base that twists to produce more of the product. The lid is a coloured plastic in the same colour as the canister. The base of the canister has a label in the colour being purchased whilst the canister merely has a few choice words done in mirrored silver. This packaging is very simple, yet striking and allows the stain to take centre stage. The contrast between the bold colour of the canister and the silver writing make it stand out as being bold and daring.
The stain itself is almost of a stiff jelly consistency as its loaded with moisture and sheerness. Even in the accompanying photos, the moisture and softness of the stain is visible. This initiative from Revlon is a blend between a balm and stain; it goes on smoothly, has good staying power and doesn’t bleed. When the boldness of the colour fades, it has a subtle “just bitten” look which is where the stain part comes into play.
The colour that got me hooked was this subtle, almost translucent orangy red- 045 Romantic. At first glance it does seem a true red, but after application it has some orange under tones. This is what makes the colour so fresh and invigorating, it even suits every skin tone and eye colour. The more layers applied onto lips the more intense and noticeable the colour gets.
These Balm stains are perfect for the working lady as it can easily take you from office drab to party fab in just 2-3 swipes.
The result is fully hydrated, full lips that have an intense dose of colour and moisture. Because of it being a balm, it offers sooo much of hydration that it looks like you’re using a patting of gloss over your lippie, BONUS! Great and easy for when you’re on the go or need colour fast
