I am a huge fan of these. They are amazing, and gorgeous. Revlon now has numerous ranges for this, and these things have revolutionised my lip colour routine. I am not a fan of lipsticks that run or are very drying, and lipgloss is so sticky. I usually really love lip balm, but every now and then you would like a dash of colour, and that is where these have come in and won me over. I can have colour and moisture and a variety of colours with great staying power. Yep, these are excellent little things!

I love this lip tint it is of really great quality and I find that the colors in this range are amazing. I am not a fan of lipstick so this Revlon Just Bitten lippie gives me just enough color so that I don't have completely nude lips and it moisturizers my lips which is important in protecting my lips. Price is a by too much for me but it's such an amazing product, last quite some time.

Xoxo

I bought the Just Bitten Balm Stain in Honey just two weeks ago. I tested it out in the store and the light pink colour is just so flattering on my caramel skin. It smells great, and leaves a subtle sheen and delicate colour on your lips. It goes for R120 at Clicks, and although I haven't opened mine yet... (saving it for a special occasion)... the tester I used in the store works great!

The one in Honey is my most repurchased lippie! I cannot go anywhere without it! It is perfect for when you do a dramatic eye and you want a muted lip and its a beaut for every day wear. These are moisturising and long lasting!

I love this just bitten balm stain, I actually have both the old and the new one, however I find the new one is more softer in shade than the older one, it also stays on for longer. I have the new just bitten in a redish plum colour, it transfers in my lips in a smooth, rich colour and doesn't move from there. It lightly transfers onto other items like glass wear and straws, but the colour is still there. It's really worth a try!

A great selection of colours is available to suit every taste and style. Since it is a stain it is alot longer lasting than a lipstick. It has balming properties and is therefore definitely worth the price.

I fell in love with these lip stains when sampling them a Clicks one afternoon. They have a fresh peppermint scent to them when you apply it to your lips.

I was really impressed with the 12 colour selection, meaning you will definitely find a colour that you like.

My balm stain lasted 6 hours which is super impressive for a "balm". Just take note that darker colours last longer than lighter ones.

I love having this handy balm stain in my purse even thought I only have to apply it twice a day to keep a light tint at all times :)

I would recommend this to all ladies who need a long lasting balm :)

I've tried my fair share of lips stains but these are my favorite. Im not a fan of very obvious lipstick so these Revlon stains are a perfect choice for me because it makes my lips look amazing and natural and the colour lasts

I love these stains. I have the bright pink colour called "cherish devotion". I've also used my moms one, which is a gorgeous orange. These are so easy to use, and you don't even need a mirror. I feel like a kid playing with a crayon. They are moisturising and colour lasts quite nicely. These also have a lovely peppermint scent.

All the hype over these sticks is worth it - they are as fabulous as everyone says they are. I want them in every colour. :)

I recently bought two of these balm stains and I am quite happy with my purchase. My favourite at the moment is Honey (001). Perfect for me for everyday use. One coat of Honey looks a lot like my natural lip colour – I like this as it doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything, but my lips look lovely! You can built up the colour nicely too. The product goes on nice and smooth and my lips do feel moisturized, but that feeling unfortunately does not last very long. So I have to apply some lip balm or 8-hour cream shortly after. Revlon is forgiven as most products with some ‘staying power’ do dry out my lips a bit. If you suffer from dry lips, make sure your lips are exfoliated before you apply and keep them moisturized. I love the fact that the colour stays put for quite a while. It does slowly fade, but lasts much longer than most of my other lip products. And it doesn’t transfer. Yeah! I also love the minty scent and the cute packaging. I still need to see how long it lasts before replacing, so I can’t yet say if the price justifies the amount of product that you receive. All-in-all, I am very happy.

Firstly, the colour selection in Dischem was quite limited, with only 7 of the 12 colours out on the shelves - I think that alone plays testament to how popular these balms are. I applied all the colours to the back of my hand while I tried to make up my mind on which colour to pick. I am not at all adventurous with lip colours and I am happy that Revlon kept us timid girls in mind and have colours such as Precious Precieuse, which is what I settled on in the end. It is similar in shade to my skin colour but has a nice subtle pink to it that I find to be very lady like and pretty. Basically, I thought I'd pick a safe colour and see how much I like the balm before purchasing any other more bold colours.

While standing in the checkout queue at Dischem I tried to wipe the stains off my hand with a wet wipe (that I always carry around in my handbag) and the top layer of the balm came off easily but the stain had seeped into my skin and stained it - which is of course what the product is suppose to do. It was quite a battle to get the stain off my skin but after some (not so gentle) persuasion it eventually budged.

The experience I had was really remarkable. I went out for supper with my family (to celebrate my Mom's 50th Birthday) and before heading to the restaurant I applied the balm to my lips. What is great about the colour is that you can easily build it up to the darkness that you wish for. I found that two strokes on both my top and bottom lips gave an even coverage. If you want a lighter shade then one stroke on both lips will give you a nice natural pop of colour. The balm has a minty freshness to it when applied and refreshes lips. It has a feeling to me that is similar to a lip gloss in many ways without the seriously oily look. The balm has a sophisticated shimmer to it that I personally like a lot.

Arriving at the restaurant 20 minutes later I could still feel the balm on my lips - usually by this time lipsticks and balms are hardly noticeable on my lips. I ordered a glass of water and while sipping away I was seriously shocked by how little of the balm transferred to the glass - It was hardly even that noticeable and I could still feel that the balm was staying put. I even asked my parents to have a look at the richness of the colour and they said it looked just as good as when I had arrived. After having a meal and ending off the evening with cake the typical balm-like feeling on my lips had gone away however the colour was still on my lips.

So my thoughts....they are very simple. This is a wonderful balm and an even better lipstain. It works far better than other lipstains that I have tried in the past and because this is a balm it hydrates and moisturises a person's lip beautifully. Let's just say that my list of colours to get now cover a variety to the point where I'd even consider getting a red (I never wear red lipstick).

I picked my balm up at Dischem for R92.00 and saw that at Clicks they retail for around R99.00 each.
