REVLONBalm Stain, Cherish

Great shade of pink

I have about 30 lip sticks and balms from different brands, pretty much all of them are more expensive than this one, but this Revlon balm stain has been my favorite for a couple years. It stays all day long even after meals(as long as you don't try to rub it off.) and the colors are awesome, not too heavy for work, yet gives your lips a vivid tint. Based on my personal experience, it doesn't dry my lips as well. I got compliments all the time whenever I'm wearing it, and a lot of my friends have asked what lip product did I use.I have used two entire tubes of these already, this is the only lip stain that I would buy and buy and buy again. I'm collecting all the colors, and yes, I've already recommended it to everyone.

I generally prefer tinted glosses, but my guy absolutely hates kissing me when i'm wearing a gloss, so i've been testing out new products. I tried this balm stain in "cherish" and after about a month i'm a fan. The color goes on fairly strongly pink, but it fades to a nice rosy color after about an hour. The "stain" aspect lasts most of the day, depending on how much i eat/drink, but the "balm" aspect only lasts about an hour. I'm prefer to have some form of balm/gloss on my lips so this is a bummer. I just supplement with chapstick. Notably, it has a hint of a peppermint flavor which i found to be a nice surprise.As for packaging (which i noticed some complaints about), it's shrinkwrapped in perforated plastic. not great, but not especially hard to remove.

So I had previously been using a long wear lipstick that couldn't really make it through a meal, and worse, would dry out majorly. Nothing says, "kiss me" like lipstick that somehow manages to be both dry and sticky.Anyways, my friend swore by this stuff, and I had been drooling over the color. I told her I had naturally darker lips (darker than the color) and hadn't had much luck with stains in light pink. (A previous Revlon purchase of a marker like product was a huge fail.) She insisted this stuff would work, and she was TOTALLY right.I can't wait to buy more, in other colors, and phase out my draggy lipstick. (Man, wish I hadn't just bought two of those, at 10 a pop, I could have purchased THREE of these!)Overview* Lightweight* Not dry* Moisturizes but doesn't smudge* Long lasting* Packs a punch of color (light color shows up on darker lips)

I liked the past bought product. This one not much. hard to figure what the color will be. The color I want is well liked, so the size is shortened + the price skyrocketed. Will go elsewhere

Lipstick was open and used. Do not feel comfortable using. Please refund.

It wasn't what I thought it would be. Basically just an expensive colored lip balm. Did not stain like it said it would. Disappointed!

I was disappointed that the lip stain I received wasn't even close to the color I ordered. Obviously the color names and numbers are the same, but as you can see, the colors don't match. I decided to keep it because I can still use it, but it certainly wasn't what I wanted.
