Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

WOHOOO Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are AWESOME! I love this product! 

So first with this product I bought this at Walgreen which occasionally there will be buy one get one deals that are offered, such as BOGO 50% which was what I got. The two shades that I got were 001 Honey on the right, and 035 Charm on the left. The original price at my closest Walgreens was $8.99 each. 

This gel formula comes in a variety of 12 shades. It comes in 0.095 Oz./2.7g, which is not a lot when you try to screw up the top. You can retract it as well.

This product is a sheer glittery formula that resembles a crayon that glides on like a lip balm and does not fall into the cracks of my lips. It is retractable which is very nice considering that you do not waste a lot of product. The stain does stay on your lips for hours but the feel of the lip balm and a little bit of the color does fade after. The nice thing about this balm stain is that it is indeed kissable so it does not transfer! 

I do prefer these Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stains over the CoverGirl one that I recently reviewed. The CoverGirl is more drying and falls into the cracks of my lips. It is not super moisturizing like any balm but it is not drying as well. It is not glossy, sticky, but very comfortable to apply. It has a very small minty scent to it but nothing obnoxious but you can only smell the mint when you apply.

When you want some color to your lips and your face I recommend applying this it will just give your a look an UMPH

Oh by the way if you reapply and add more than one application it will not be cakey and not gather into the corners of your lips! The color will come out more and more vibrant if you add more application.

My boyfriend approves of this balm stain because I can wear something on my lips that will not transfer onto his lips :) Although some will not like this product, that I've heard or seen I totally recommend trying this product over the CoverGirl! 

The color payoff does not show very well on my photos from my camera but the top picture is Charm and the bottom is Honey, which is a my lips but better color for me because they enhance my natural lip color. Charm is not as pigmented, but they are just as pigmented as the Revlon Lip Butter they just leave a stain and sheen to your lips.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

Today I will be reviewing the Revlon Colorstay Foundation.

I bought this at Walgreens for $11.99 but you can purchase this at CVS, Ulta, Walmart, pretty much all stores you can find cosmetics.

This line has 20 different shades from combination/oily skin or normal/dry skin.

The product itself offers that it wears up to 24-hours, gives a flawless look and lightweight feel. It also offers an SPF of 6. The packaging is in glass with a 1.0 Fl. Oz foundation, which is an average amount of foundations that any line has to offer. It does not have a pump, the cap screws off. 

The shade I got was in 110 Ivory for combination/oily skin, which I do have both. I have an oily t-zone  with sometimes dry patches around my mouth or nose. I, myself do have acne, but majority of them are acne scars now, and uneven skin tone as well. 

The coverage on this foundation is medium to full but also build-able  I do not wear my foundation 24-hours a day so I would not know if it does last that long, what I can tell you is that it does last me from 6am-9pm. Waking up and getting ready for class till the end of my other class. The consistency of this foundation can be a little watery so I do recommend shaking it up before applying. The foundation does smell a little odd eh whatever. The finish however is matte. 

Some people say that this foundation can get cakey because it is matte and you have to blend quickly, but I never have that problem. I dot areas of my face with foundation and blend it either with my beauty sponge or my fingers.

This foundation can act as a concealer and foundation. The more you build up the more you will cover.   The foundation to me does not feel cakey and I usually only put one layer on but going back with a small amount to conceal extra blemishes and scars peeping out. I do apply powder after the application to reduce any oil throughout the day. Although I do apply powder, I feel that my face does get oily, so I use blotting sheets as well. 

Overall this foundation has great coverage and I tend to use this foundation if I that my skin needs more coverage I will turn to this. The greater part of this foundation is that it does not break me out which I really enjoy! It is long lasting, good shade range, and has SPF.
