My opinion on Revlon Balm Stains

Hi there! I know this post is late but my internet was not working for some reason or another! On Saturday I went shopping and picked up a Revlon Balm Stain in Rendevous. This is an extremely bright orange that looks absolutely amazing on the lips! Not only is it so moisturising, your lips get stained and you can bearly get it off till the next day! Some people may not like that, but with all the eating we do we need it! These Balm Stains look exactly like a crayon but they apply with enough coverage. Sometimes I use this as a lip liner if I am feeling the need to do something different.

The balm comes in a fun twist-up chubby pencil. I was expecting the balm to be soft and melty but it's quite solid (like a fat lip pencil but with more glide) and doesn't squidge when applied. It's feel neither like a lipstick nor a traditional lip balm, but feels great to use.

There is a very faint minty smell to the balm but it's not noticeable once applied.

The balm feels really comfortable and weightless on the lips. I easily forget I'm wearing it. Unlike many other lip stain products, the colour lasts most of the day without drying the lips out. It is quite moisturising but I would still wear my usual lip balm under or over the balm stain though just for extra smoothing and plumping.

Once the shine of the balm wears off (after eating, drinking, licking etc), the colour still remains faint on my lips, but surprisingly still looks fairly even and not patchy
