Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Hey family! My Summer is going pretty well, especially now that I have a computer again! *applause* I hope Summer is treating you well also!  I can now blog normally and tell you guys about what's going on in my cosmetic and beauty adventures.  I hope you've been following along with some of my shenanigans via Twitter and Instagram :D

One of my first posts on Instagram was a pic of my Balm Stain purchase.  I picked up two.  With the love I had for the lip butters, I was sure that the Balm Stains were going to be pretty lipstick friends.

Did they exceed expectations or disappoint??  I tried them out, the colors weren't too bad-- a light lilac and a peachy nude.  The feel and texture of the lip products were decent. The stain from the colors I had weren't too deep or dark, but reasonable.  However, I was left unimpressed. This is a balm stain, so you wear the balm then a stain is left behind.  I wasn't crazy about the balm-- it's a bit creamy.  The stain left behind from both colors I got were very similar on my natural lip color. I wanted the stains to be different colors. No bueno.  While these work for plenty of people, I have way too many lip products to not be in love with these. I returned them.  For just two at regular price, I was able to pay for a basket of toiletries with a few bucks being returned to me.  Good.

I imagine that one day I'll find a stain that can be topped with a glossy topcoat for an innocent juicy, popsicle lip look.  This product comes closer than any other lip stain I've tried.  

Have you tried these?  What do you think of them?

I love these, but the lighter colors just plain suck. I highly recommend Smitten. btw - they're on sale for 40% off this week at Rite Aid. =)
