Obsessed with Revlon Kissable Balm Stains

Yes, I am officially obsessed with Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. That's all I have been wearing ever since I got my hands on these amazing lip stains a few weeks ago(see my previous post here). I would say they are not so much of a balm as they do dry out after a few hours. I don't have to reapply the balm stain though, just regular balm to moisturize my lips.

I got a few of these balm stains through ebay as they were not available in my local drugstores back then. They were shipped fairly fast from U.S and I got them within a week.

I just went to my local Rexall( drugstore) and I almost jumped with joy when I saw them on display.


They are regularly-priced at $9.99 and this week they are on sale for $7.99. Great time to grab those if you want to try them out.


The display is not very big and they only had a handful of stains.

I already had the shades: Honey, Darling and Charm. I just ordered Cherish from ebay a few days ago. I prefer the lighter colors so I grabbed Rendezvous and Precious today.

The staying power of these balm stains is amazing. I do find some stain last longer than others though. Honey lasts the longest on me so far. The lighter/nude colors don't stay as long.

Charm


Rendezvous


Precious

Precious and Charm are actually quite similar. Charm has a more peachy undertone. Both look very natural and nude but surprisingly don't look totally washed out on me as a lot of nude lipsticks do. Rendezvous was one of the first colors that attract me but I thought I wouldn't look good in these orange/coral colors but this one looks pretty good on me. I am so glad I got it in the end. 

I'm just so happy I got all the shades I wanted for these balm stains. Sometimes, little things make me happy. So since I'm treating myself, might as well treat myself to one of these deadly delicious but fattening junk food: 


Poutine

I didn't know that Poutine is quite unique to us Canadians. I thought they are readily available all over the world. If you haven't had one of these, this is French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. I usually limit myself to one of these once or twice in the summer. My niece and nephew love these and I always take them to one of the local chip wagons to get these when they come for visits.

    1. I just wish the display at my store has more testers. They only have tester for Cherish. I wish they have the darker shades and I would love to check those out too. Cherish seems like a very nice shade of pink. Darling is pinkish with a purple undertone. Hope you will find your perfect shade!

  3. Lot's of ladies were telling me to check Super store, but I've been a couple times now and they aren't there:( I also went to Wal-Mart and they still haven't arrived. My shoppers has them but I do not want to pay $11.49 for them especially because I want more than one:P

    1. I got Shoppers' flyer this week and it only says coming soon in my area. But considering where I live, I'm surprised I found them at my Rexall. Definitely check out your Rexall and good luck!

    1. I have used other lip stains and they only last a few hours. These ones are amazing, perfect for lazy people like me who don't need to reapply throughout the day. The colors look different on everyone, depending on if your lips are pigmented or not. Mine is not very pigmented and I find the lighter shades look better on me.

  6. These still haven't arrived in Australia but I already have Charm which satisfies my curiosity about them for now. I think Charm looks super pretty on you! :) Poutine looks delicious!

    1. Oh still not available in Australia yet? I thought Canada is slow already, considering it's so close to US and there is always a delay in new items. I am loving Charm and a perfect nude color.

  7. I grabbed two of these (Charm and Rendezvous) last night at my local walmart! they were regular price 8.98 or something, which isn't bad compared to Shoppers!

    1. Our Walmart is pretty slow in getting new stuff. And if they show up, there will be so limited supply. 8.98 is not a bad price at all. Looking forward to hearing what you think of these.

    1. I only grabbed the lighter shades as I know the dark ones are much more pigmented(and also harder to come off).

  9. I always prefer colored glosses over reg lipstick most of the time, so it sounds like I need to try these out!

    And poutine - I've always wanted to try poutine, gravy over everything makes it better!

    1. I was a lip gloss gal before. Hated lipsticks/lip stains. But the new products are very impressive. I find myself grabbing the lip stain mostly these days. You should definitely check them out!

      Yes, gravy makes everything so much tastier :)

  12. Thank goodness we don't have that snack here. LOL! That is a strange combination to me and probably most Americans. I love the Revlon lip stains too. New follower, following you back. Have a great day! Stacie xo

    1. Poutine is very addictive. Once you have tried it, you could never go back to regular fries! Hope you will be able to try it some day soon! Thank you for visiting my blog and following, so sweet of you :)
