No. 1: Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain, $6.99
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.7*
Why: One women claimed the product, "was a disaster." She went on to say, "it wouldn't roll smoothly on my lips so I ended up with a lot of color on some parts of my lip and almost none on other parts. It also wouldn't color my top lip as well as the bottom lip. I've had to use my fingers to distribute the color evenly, which I really hate doing because I end up with stained fingers. The color wasn't too bad, but it was indeed an orange-red color. Although this stain wasn't drying to my lips, the color didn't last long at all. Within the hour, it was already gone. A big disappointment." Most reviewers agree that this stain belongs in the trash bin.

Helpful hint, ALWAYS try the lip colors on your lips, not your hands. For some reason (and maybe it's just me), the difference in how the color looks from hand to lips is sometimes extreme. With regard to cheek stain, I have had the best luck with Clinique's product and it has been around for a longgggg time. Long before anyone else even offered such products.

The cover girl product is horrible. I threw all mine away. What a wate of money. I had high hopes for the Revlon product but it was awful as well.

Have tried many of the stains for the cheeks and lips and have not found one to my liking because it does not have that creamy dewy look which is so fresh looking especially for the lips but then to each his own. I like a creamy look so that's why we have choices.
