Revlon Just Bitten: Kissable balm stain -Swatches

Hi Dolls

I hope your enjoying your weekend. Recently Revlon came out with these awesome chubby sticks (I'm aware that's not what there necessarily called but its easier to say that)I've been hunting these babies down and could not find them anywhere for the life of me! Target carries them but they were all picked over. I found them all stocked up at Rite-aid. I guess there supposedly sold at Walgreen's but I checked two of them and nothing. These might be one of those things like the lip butters where everyone and their mom wants them right when they come out and of course after all the hype they'll be more avaliable. They are going to be apart of Revlon's permanent line so we don't have to worry about that.

There are 12 colors in this collection. I've never tried the Clinique chubby sticks, or the Tarte lipsurgence's but by pictures, and the blogshere they do look pretty identical and for a quarter of the price. I picked these up for $9 and for the Tart ones their about $24.

Unfortunately for these I don't think they really match to their packaging to much. I do like them thus far (I picked them up today) I just wish they were more the color of the package. However they still are very nice. As far as staining goes well it does stain all right, I look like I was eating about 547527 Popsicles. lol Which isn't bad especially if your one that doesn't really like to touch up your lips throughout the day. The lasting power of sweetheart is pretty amazing! I've been wearing it for a good 6 hours and still good to go! The formula is more of a balm when first applied, but then dries after a little bit and is more of a stain. I'm really not sure how you remove stains to be honest. I never wear them but I thought since I loved the lip butters these couldn't be bad. Revlon lip products are probably my favorite drug store products.

Overall these are pretty great, especially for the price. I think now that its pretty close to summer I usually like to wear more low maintenance products and these are definitely that. There very lightweight and they feel pretty moisturizing on my lips even after a few hours. I wouldn't say there EXTREMELY moisturizing or anything, but they're not super drying either. The lasting power is pretty great still going strong after a full day eating, drinking etc. The only negative thing I'd have to say about these were the actual color matching to the packaging. I really can't stand that. Its not like they're blue packaging and and purple balm but their not the perfect match which usually that's what I was going off of. For a drugstore product, and again for the price they're pretty pigmented. and have great color pay off. If only they had SPF  they'd be pretty close perfect. 

What do you think of these? Any color recommendations?
