Hello girls,
I was just reading a few blogs and reviews on revlon just bitten lip balms when I looked at the ingredients list.A silent yayyy. These.These are "carmine" free(read post).A guilt free lip balm is always welcome in my stash.So,in came these babies. :) I got them online.Read haul post.So,were they a love or a disappointment?Find out below...
REVLON JUST BITTEN KISSABLE LIP BALMS In SWEETHEART and HONEY
Price for both is different.I got "honey" from Dhanak in PKR 1050 and "Sweetheart" from Beauty hub in PKR 1350.
Packaging is a an instant,smashing hit for me.The material is so sturdy and travel friendly.The balms look like fat crayons which is totally cute ^_^ . They are swivel up crayons so no worries about sharpening at all.
I love the minty tingling sensation on lips.You start to feel it gradually and then it builds up deliciously into a cool feeling.
The balms are very moisturizing.The balm effect stays for an hour or so.Afterwards the stain stays for a pretty long time i-e 5-6 hour.
My favorite most thing about these babies is the fact that they are pretty hydrating.They do not rob the moisture of lips even if they might not completely replace your chap sticks.Nowadays I easily skip my Vaseline lip balm sometimes without fear of flaking.So,the girls who struggle with chapped lips will like it.
The color pay off is amazing for a lip balm.You get full richness of pigment in two swipes.The balms looked a little sheer and I wasn't not expecting the color to fully conceal my two toned lips, but on application I was quite satisfied with the result.The color looks vibrant and just lovely.
"Sweet heart" is a lovely hot pink color.Some fondly call it barbie pink too.However, it deepens into a fuchsia pink after sometime.Frankly,I am not a huge fan of fuchsia pink so I do not use it very often now.For those who love berry shades this might be a hit.
"Honey" is a very soft pink.It can be called a nude pink.This color also deepens into soft brownish pink.Mute rose pink is a very accurate description of this shade.A very wearable color for daily use.It stains my lips in a brownish pink after 4-5 hours.
.
GOOD POINTS:
1)-Long stay time 5-6 hours.
2)-Moisturizing.
3)-Nice pigmentation and color pay off.
4)-Travel friendly.
5)-Carmine free.
6)-Come in a lot of shades.
BAD POINTS:
1)-Balm wears off after an hour or so.
2)-Shade may change color.So it can come as a bit of surprise that the color deepens and changes to something other then what you were expecting.
3)-Price can be an issue.
4)-Availability might be an issue

ReplyDeleteooops :) well you will like them if you get the right shade so do google some swatches before buying :)
DeleteI soooo wanna try these babies.lovely glossy swatches but,it would be great if you add lip swatches too :)
ReplyDeleteI do want to.However,I never find them helping as lip products don't always look the same on all.So I just skip it.Plus I dont think I have the most shapely lips :)
