These Clinique Chubby Stick look-a-likes are practically a staple in my makeup bag at the moment, so I thought I'd share why! The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stains (crazy long name), are basically a super pigmented and moisturising lip stain in a chubby crayon form. The chubby pencil design makes it easy to apply the colour directly to your lips and because it's a retractable pencil, there's no sharpening required! I have two of these stains, in Crush and Honey.
Crush is the darkest shade available and it's a berry red shade. I apply this colour and then blot it so that it's not as pigmented on my lips, and by the end of the day there is still a stain on my lips. It's perfect for when I don't want to carry any lip products with me as there really is no need to reapply! I just add a little lip balm over the top as the day goes on, because even though the balm stains are moisturising, my lips do get dry throughout the day.
Honey is a more recent purchase (which I bought using my Boots Advantage Card points) and is a lovely soft pink shade. A sort of 'my lips but better' colour which is great for everyday wear. This is currently in my work bag, even though I don't really need to reapply during the day, it's there for those 'just in case' moments'.
I definitely am glad that I picked up these balm stains, especially in these two particular shades! I'll be looking into the rest of the shades available, but so far I've found two that are perfect for me =)
Have you tried the Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stains? What do you think of them?

I want crush!!!! Why did u not bring it to swap and give it to me =/
ReplyDeleteLol because it is mine! Hehe it's exactly the same shade as MAC Captive =)
DeleteThey look nice, when the one I'm using runs out I'll have to try these ones!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely the two most used lip products I have at the moment (apart from Carmex) =)
DeleteHoney looks nice I might try that.
ReplyDeleteI love Honey for daytime! For some reason it is more moisturising than Crush (or maybe it's because it's the more recent purchase?) =)
DeleteI have crush and you're right, it's really pigmented!
ReplyDeleteYep it is! Too much for me to wear full on, but I do like the stain it leaves =)
DeleteI have three of these! They're so good, lightweight to carry about and wear on your lips and you don't need a mirror for application! Downside is the smell, for me, but otherwise it's all pros. I like the colours you chose!
ReplyDeleteOooh what shades do you have? I don't mind the smell, I thought it was a bit mint/menthol-like at first, but not too sure now! =)
DeleteI love the concept of them but I'm still on the fence about whether I like them or not :( x
