Review and Swatches: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in shades Adore & Rendezvous

From Revlon's website,
"It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable™ Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of colour that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood."

If you are a lippie-lover and you read claims like Soft Lips plus color, how long would you wait and torture yourself till you grab em? No wonder chubby lip crayons and 'balm stains' are popping like mushrooms everywhere, though not so much here in Canada :(. Almost all brands seems to have a type of lip crayons starting from Clinique's to the recent Wet n Wild [which didn't yet reach here in Canada :(]



I like lip crayons for their ease of use mainly. It's like having a lip liner that you can contour your lips plus color as well. No need to worry about applying color outside lip lines accidentally. And there is the fun of playing with crayons once again :)


I have tried 2 colors from Revlon's Just Bitten Balm Stain range and 1 which I have yet to try. I got this on sale but the normal price is around $9.00 I guess. This is a chubby pencil that doesn't need any sharpening.
One thing I really love about Revlon's packaging for this lip crayon is that the color of the casing matches the lippie color. I love that concept, makes it so much easier to select and so much fun to see it. A definite plus from the usually boring black packaging they have!

Both lippies have a mint fresh scent that I like very much. The color applies sheer but can be built to an extent. Lasting power depends on how intensely the color was applied but you can easily get a wear time of 2-3 hours with this which I think is good for a glossy product. The stain lasts much longer [avg 4-5 hours] so overall this is a nice product to take with you for travel.

Left - Adore, Right -  Rendezvous
Adore is a reddish sheer shimmer color with brown/copper hints. I don't care much for the shimmer in this, but it doesn't show much on lips, so no worries. The color intensity can be increased but if you are looking for the dark red color of the casing, that may not happen. This gives a lip-balm finish to lips without any heaviness or greasiness. This is a safe color for office makeup, night wear and for Fall season.

Adore is on Top, Rendezvous is the lower one, both layered 2-3 times

Rendezvous is looks very bright on packaging but it is most gorgeous summer orangey peach shade. I love it! This is the best bright orangey peach shade I have that is so easy to wear and rock. The best part is this is one color that I can wear without worrying about the color making my skin look dull. This color just perks up the whole face. Pictures don't do justice, you need to try this. This color suits almost all skin tones. A MUST BUY for your SUMMER!!!

Overall, I love this product range from Revlon, Thank you Revlon for Just Bitten Balm Stains!
