Growing up I always thought lipstick was for adults and never felt old enough to wear it in my lates teens and early 20's. Oh how things have changed now.
I picked up one of these at a make up sale as they seemed less intimidating than actual lipstick. I got so many compliments and went about 3 more. I love their bright colors and easy wear formulae. More like a lip balm than a lipstick.
These were the gateway drug to my lipstick collection. I barely use these anymore as I discovered I prefer matte lipsticks but they were a good starting point form someone who had never experimented with lipstick before.
After trying Rimmels Crayon I decided to give these balms a try. I picked one up from an outlet sale at an affordable price. Revlons easy to find in most stores throughout New Zealand.
This lip stain is reminiscent of a large crayon . It's packaging is bright eye catching. Has the Revlon labelling. I got to do a few swatches and what I noticed from these swatches is that some colours are more pigmented than others. The colour I chose was Lovesick. This colour is a deep vibrant shade of pink with red tones in it. The consistency is like a balm with a tinted colour.
When I applied it to my lips it went on smoothly. Felt hydrating. This colour I chose was bright on my lips. Without eating it lasts me up to two hours wear time. If I eat or drink it does transfer easily.
I wouldn't pay almost thirty dollars for this balm. I think it's priced far too high. I would rather look for it in a clearance store. One balm lasted me up to twelve months. Would I buy it again probably not now because I'm into liquid matte lipsticks. But overall I think it would be great for someone who's starting out with make up.
