Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Lovesick Passionnee Review

28 Replies

by Arpita

Hi All,

Today I am going to review the Revlon lip stain in lovesickpPassionnee shade. I won this balm from Revlon’s Twitter contest. However, please note that my opinion, my experience, the pictures are completely mine and I have NOT received any payment for doing this review at all and even if I did not write this review, Revlon won’t mind at all because this is not a sponsored review or anything like that.

 

Price:

Rs. 600 for 2.7 g

 

My Experience:

Packaging: It comes in a super cute pink retractable tube kind of packaging. Everything has been printed nicely on the sticker stuck on the tube and the packaging looks super cool and it is travel friendly.

Shade: Lovesick Passionne is a beautiful bright pink shade with cool undertones. It contains micro silver glitters.

Fragrance, Texture and Moisturizing Power: It smells minty and exactly the same like Polo candy (That round minty candy with a hole in the middle) 😛 The lip stain has a creamy texture and it glides on very easily onto the lips and provides normal coverage in a few swipes. I do not have much lip pigmentation and so I cannot comment on the pigmentation coverage. It is quite moisturizing for my lips but super dry lips may need a good lip balm over it. One thing I do not like is the glitters present. The color settles in the fine lines of the lips.

 

 

Lasting Power: The color lasts on for about 2 hours and then the stain last for about 1-1.5 more hours. Therefore, in total, the lasting power of this one is of about 3-4 hours, which is good! A thing that pinches me is the price of the product but for the quality, it is totally worth it 😀

 

PROS:

  • Packaging
  • Moisturizing power
  • Lasting power of about 3-4 hours
  • The color is cute
  • Quality and Quantity
  • No wastage of the product due to retractable packaging
  • Minty polo candy like fragrance
  • The stain it leaves behind looks good
  • Long shelf life of about 3 years from the date of manufacture
  • Brightens up my face

CONS:

  • Silvery Glitter particles
  • Price
  • Settles in fine lines

 

Final Verdict: I have only one word for this which is ‘fantabulous’! Must buy Lip stain from Revlon 🙂

Maybelline Baby Lips Rose Addict Lip Balm Review

9 Replies

Hello lovely ladies,

Maybelline baby lips have become most wanted lip balm in India since its arrival. It is available in 7 different shades. Today, I am going to review the Baby Lips Lip Balm in ‘Rose Addict’ variant.


Price: 

Rs 150 fo 4g

 

Shade Reviewed: 

Rose addict

My Experience:

I was pretty confused on choosing the shade and finally got Maybelline Baby Lips Rose Addict. You can see they advertise as new revolutionary lip balms with lots of good features. So, I wanted to test them.

Packaging: This Maybelline lip balm comes in a pink colored twist up tube which is easy to use and travel friendly. I find no problem with the packaging part.

Color, Texture and Fragrance: This lip balm is almost a translucent one with very mild rosy tint. This tint hardly shows up on lips. However if you have that pale pink lips, it might show up a bit but it settles like just a transparent balm on pigmented/dark lips. The fragrance is frutilicious and yummy!

 

Swatch:

How it works?: It is a soft and smooth one with SPF 16. It protects your lips from sun. I have a dry lips hence I need lip balm very badly. It hydrates my lips and keeps moisturized for 6 hours without any intake of food. It also withstand for 4 hours after cool drinks and light meal. I love tinted lip balms but this one is translucent. But I never mind. It doesn’t have any taste (sad) 🙁

PROS:

  • Convenient twist up tube package
  • Good Staying power
  • It has SPF 16
  • It heals chapped lips
  • It doesn’t melts like other lip balms
  • Lips are well moisturized
  • Affordable price
  • It gives a glossy and shiny finish to the lips

CONS:

Hmm… I’m thinking and thinking. No, I couldn’t find out any.

 

Rating: 4.8/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes! I highly recommend this Maybelline Lip Balm to everyone!

 

Would I Repurchase?:

I am going to try some other shades from Baby Lips. Berry Crush and Cherry Kiss seems to be more attractive.

 

By the way I have a question.. What happened to Maybelline Lip Smooth Balm? (tinted balms with shades of strawberry, rose red) I can’t find them anywhere. Have they stopped production??

Himalaya Herbals Natural Intensive Lip Balm Review

Color and Fragrance: This is a colorless transparent lip balm which has a very suffocating herbal fragrance. I am sure most of you will dislike the smell. The fragrance lasts on the lips until you decide to remove it completely. Thus, this is a major turn off for me.

Himalaya Herbals Natural Intensive Lip Balm Review

Staying power: Himalaya herbals Natural intensive Lip Balm stays on for 1-2 hours without any meals in between. You need to reapply it and this may be a problem for some. The lip balm is very soft and if you apply too much pressure on it while applying, it may break.

How it works: Though, it has an uncomfortable fragrance added to it; it does its job of moisturizing the lips perfectly. It provides that intensive moisture for the lips. It also healed the cracks on my lips and made them pink and healthy. It also has fewer chemicals than the other lip balms as it is herbal. I quite liked the fact that it does not leave any whitish cast behind and gives a glossy sheen to the lips.

PROS:

  • Affordable price
  • Give a glossy look to lips and thus can be applied under or over lipsticks.
  • Heals cracked lips
  • Makes lips softer
  • Survived a full meal
  • Free from petroleum, silicones, artificial colors and preservatives.
  • Contains winter cherry, almond oil, olive oil, honey, apple seed oil and other herbal ingredients and thus safe to be used.
  • The packaging makes the product travel friendly
  • Stays well for 1-2 hours and prevent lips from drying for 3-4 hours
  • Finally, its claim to provide intensive moisture and it is completely true

 

CONS:

  • Breaks easily if falls from the hand
  • Fragrance is a major turn off

 

Rating: 4/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

If you do not mind the uncomfortable fragrance of this lip balm then you must try it 🙂

 

Would I Repurchase?:

If you have dry lips then you may want to try it. However, the quantity is huge for me and will last for quite a long time. I will get bored of it soon and thus will not repurchase because of the pungent smell.
