Cheap Treats: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

I posted TWICE today. Did you see my latest Ask Elle? Scroll down!

I love to share Cheap Treats--products I'm crazy about (usually beauty-related) 
that are fewer than $10See past Cheap Treats here.


First off, I can't believe I've not shared a Cheap Treats in a couple of months. The last one I shared was lipstick, but so many of you responded that you weren't fans! I think I've got something for you: check out Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains! These are fairly new and I just love them!

  • For those who like lip stains but hate the feathering/loss of color, try these. 
  • Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains come in 12 colors.
  • These are great for summer--just pop in your purse and go! No sticky gloss!
  • They cost around $7 (I had some gift cards and CVS coupons to use when I purchased mine)
  • They're very, very similar to the Tarte Lip Stains, which are around $24. They feature a mint scent similar to the Tarte Lip Stains.
  • These go on creamy but aren't super moisturizing, like the Lip Butters, for example. But they aren't drying.
  • The Kissable Balm Stains don't need sharpening. Just twist the bottom when needed.
  • The color payoff and lasting power is great. I easily had product remaining on my lips at the end of the day. 
  • It's a buildable color, but be careful reapplying as the color gets more intense with each application!

  5. I've been wanting to try these! I think they'd be great for summer when I don't feel like bothering with reapplying lip gloss and such!

  6. I'm going to look for these. I prefer gloss to heavy lipstick for casual day stuff, and this seems like a better solution. Thanks as always.

  19. That's so funny I was just shopping today for a coral lip stain and I splurged on a chanel lipstick and then found one for much less that I liked better! I guess I should try these as well! Thanks!
