Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipbalm Stain LOVESICK - Swatches, Review, FOTD

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipbalm Stain Lovesick Swatch


I called the Health and glow near my house and the Revlon SA told me that they got these in stock, but everything got sold out. We hung up. She called back in 2 minutes and said "Actually, you're really sweet and and I felt really bad for not giving you these, so I had an extra, that you can have!"
Me "OMG! Wait! I'll be there in 2 minutes!!" I reach the store and see another lady trying to snatch it from the SA who pulled it out to give to me as soon as she saw me enter!
I yelled in my most ladylike voice and tried to snatch it back from her and I really might have made a noise because my mum woke me up!


So now I did what any normal, self respecting (to prove I'm not mad), smart human, who knows himself/herself best would do. I Googled it.
And lost interest in about 3 minutes after Google almost told me that it made no sense! How can it not make sense to you?! Huh Google?! So this time, I type lovesick. (Ya, just lovesick, like there's just one thing I'll find!) Thing is, I was so distracted, and I wanted it so badly..

Can you see the silver shimmer in there?

Bah so anyway. This is what Google said- You're either in love, or missing the person just bitten kissable lipbalm stain, so much that you're unable to act normally. 
I then realised that  - This is that pink lipstick(ish being) I saw everywhere. It wasn't available at the nearby Health & Glow stores and was sold out everywhere I looked online. Even the New U in Inorbit had just Cherish and apparently so did Shopper's stop! I was love sick!
Actually, Google described Lovesick as - In love, or missing the person one loves, so much that one is 
unable to act normally.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipbalm Stain Lovesick Review and Swatch
That's closest to the colour of the lip balm stain,
Packaging: I love it! It's a twist up, fat little crayon in the same coloured case and the cap. The bottom thin (that you twist) is silver and it the body has it's own name & shade written on it in silver.

Colour: It's a fuchsia. Definitely blue toned. With a good dose of silver shimmer in it. Not something you'd normally notice (unless you have microscopes for eyes) It isn't gritty or anything, just on very close inspection could I see it.
It does apply darker on me that in that freshly applied swatch below, somehow. So it leans toward purple on me. On a friend who has slightly darker complexion than mine, it looks pinker. Took me a while to like this colour on my lips to be honest (I finally got it online). I think it's one of those colours that suits all skin tones (unless colours with cool undertones are not your thing at all!)

Texture: It's a light formula that starts of as a nice lightly moisturising balm, but as it wears longer, it does get slightly drying. Nothing that another layer of this (or a lipbalm) cant fix. But it is insanely pigmented and on my pigmented lips, This particular shade (and the other dark ones form this range I'm sure) show up nicely in one swipe (it's not like the sheer lipbalms, even the Nivea ones are sheer in comparison. These are a little less pigmented than the MAC lustre formulas) 3-4 layers of it does give full coverage (depending on how pigmented your lips actually are) It stains heavily, and I love it! It does what it claims. It leaves a deeeep pink stain on me (leaning toward purple, mostly) cause I reapply it often. 
I have forgotten about having it on many a times and I keep applying it and it leaves a very deep berry stain on my lips by the end of the day which wont budge! Which goes on to show how light the texture is. It feels like you're wearing nothing on our lips and it's so great for the summers especially!
In my mum's words (who btw is not a makeup loving lady) -  Such a cute crayon this is! Even I don't mind using this! 
Lasting power: I got her to wear it once (she hates applying lipstick and I swear nothing stays on her lips for more than an hr max) This lasted 4-5 hours on her! On me, it's lasted up to 7 hours after which I tried to remove it.
When you first apply this, it smells like peppermint! Like polo. It lasts about a minute on me max. And for the life of me I don't know if it's a real cooling sensation it gives or do I imagine it with the smell. Honestly, I love the peppermint feeling. I wish it would last linger but I know that the world doesn't!

Price: Rs 600 for 2.7 grams

I haven't ever rated a product but I really feel like rating this! You think I should maybe start?
5/5 4.5/5 (Just because it's the first time I am rating a product and I don't want to be lenient! lol)

Will I repurchase the RJBKLBS (LOL)? Yes! I want Sweetheart.

It's the perfect lightweight texture that's amazing in my opinion. That combined with gorgeous colours that stain enough so as to avoid retouching/reapplication is what won me over! It's cheaper than the similar looking lakme/ Clinique crayons. I haven't tried either of those to compare.

    3. You're making it easier! I know, I feel this is too cool toned for my liking. Might like it more during winters with a highly moisturising lipbalm! I'll wait as long as I can before getting it!:P
