10 Best and Worst Lip and Cheek Stains

Lovely, Smooth Lips
Revlon's "Just Bitten Kissable™ Balm Stain" gives an immediate coating of silky, luscious colors to lips. It is not unlike Tarte's "LipSurgence™" lip tint. The range of available shades is impressive. The color may not last quite as long as Tarte's version, but there is a tint on my pout for a long number of hours along with a comforting feel.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 9 people said helpful

Pretty stain.....
This gives a really pretty stain but I find the product a little drying so I don't reach for this often. I have to apply an additional balm on top of this. For more color, apply this product on dry clean lips and for more subtle color, apply this after applying lip balm first to your lips. I love the mint scent to this and unlike many minty lip products, this product doesn't have much of that ting...read moreling sensation (which I don't mind) but if you don't like that sort of thing, this might be well suited for you. I got this in the lightest color they offered since the other colors were too vibrant for my taste.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

AWESOME Staying Power
With the new edition of matte and lacquer colors, I'm seriously more in love with these balms than ever before! I believe these really beat out Cover Girl's or Rimmel's versions. I also much prefer these to Clinique's just because the price is so affordable and there are so many more color choices! These are so travel friendly, and the formula goes on super smooth and buttery. But, those who are ...read moresensitive to scents in their makeup should know that these do come with a bit of a minty fragrance. I believe they have started putting less of it in their newer colors, but the smell is definitely still there (just a little fainter). For those who don't mind the scent, the mint actually might be quite pleasant. Personally, I enjoy it because it helps freshen my breath! Application wise, I don't ever need to drag these across my lips to get a good color payoff, and it gets slicker and easier to apply the more it warms up on my lips. The 'stain' side of these balms are great too! When the original color and shine fades away, I'm left with this nice my lips but better color that varies according to what shade I was wearing. I don't have to worry about the stain applying in patches either, thanks to the balm formula! But, I do have to complain about the lack of moisture from these, though. (I get super dry lips, so those who don't have a problem with flakes and chapping like I do may not experience this problem) My lips just feel a little tighter and flakier in places after the balm wears away and I'm just left with the stain. Applying more does help, but I just don't get nice soft lips like when I wear traditional lip balm. Plus, the balm does tend to cling on those little flake patches if they decide to pop up! This is still a great product though, especially for drugstore prices. I recommend those who are interested to go grab a couple colors to try!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful
