Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain Review, Photos, FOTD

Recent pit stop at the drugstore to kill time before dinner resulted in a mini haul. I picked up the new Revlon Just Bitten lipstain amongst other things. The packaging is cute and there was a $1 off coupon at CVS.


You've been bitten! Ok, I got the face wrong. I forgot that the theme was bitten, not smooch'n.


Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Passion ($8.99) comes with lipstain on one end and lip balm on the other.


It has a marker tip applicator


The small balm on the other side. No scent, no flavor, no additional color, simply just balm. The balm is handy, the Revlon site recommends that you use the balm after applying the stain.


It looks like just a hint of color up close but is actually pretty bright from afar. The shade combined with the fact that it's a stain gives off the impression that your lips are naturally flushed.

I did a simple neutral look to go with the lips:







Verdict:
I have mixed feelings about this one. I like the natural appearance and the Passion shade is appealing. I also like how long lasting it is, it doesn't budge or rub off, not even after eating and drinking. It lasted for 6-8 hours with minimal fading. On the other hand, the uneven application bothers me. It's hard to remove, even with makeup remover. I also feel like the marker tip dries out too quickly (could be just mine).

Pros:
♥ Very long lasting
♥ Natural looking

Cons:
♦ hard to get achieve a even application
♦ hard to remove

Quick Tip:
Make sure that your lips are NOT chapped before application, otherwise it'll turn out blotchy and not so attractive. If you have chapped lips prep it by gently exfoliating to remove the dead skin then follow up with some lip balm and wait until your lips are soft/smooth. Blot your lips then apply.

XOXO, M

  3. Revlon used to have those staining lip things in a roller ball form, right? Maybe it was last yr or something. I think this looks good on you though! :)

  6. The tips only dry out if you apply the lip stain to wet lips. The moisture ruins the tip of the lip stain marker. Make sure your lips are 100% dry before applying lip stain.

  8. It looks really nice when applied properly! I'm not sure if it'll work for me though, since my lips flake very easily.. Thanks for the review. ^^

  13. this looks really pretty, but lip stains do require a nice even lip to begin with so it doesn't work all the time, which is a shame, because i love the stained look it gives, very natural and pretty :)

  14. Hey Mona!

    Actually it was the mix blushes that I hated the most--now I have two and I probably use them every other day... :( It's unfortunate, but I'm kind of one of those people who wear makeup to FEEL good and be girly as I get ready in the morning and etc...and not so much that I feel the need to actually wear makeup because I can't leave the house bare-faced....so I suppose packaging is quite important for me in that sense.

    In that case, what would you say are your favorite brands?

  15. I have pretty chapped lips and that's one of the reason why I try to stay away from lip stain because not only does it look skanky but I find it hard to remove as well. Thanks for the review Mona! :)

    Do you know what's the proper way to remove them? I tried them out at the drugstore but couldn't get it off so I didn't buy it.
