Just Bitten By Revlon’s Charm

Posted on by

My makeup this week has been simple – a light layer of Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturiser in Glow, a dab of Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium, the Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil in Warm Brunette through my brows, L’Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara, a touch of Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper on my apples (still haven’t managed to put that blush down) and then whatever lip product I feel like that day. Most of the week I’ve been reaching for a product that I hunted high and low for in the US – Revlon’s new Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Charm.

A nourishing balm with a hint of stain in stick form – of course people are going to draw comparisons to the cult favourite Clinique Chubby Sticks. I’ve never given those a go, but I have to say I’ve been really impressed by the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so far. Firstly they come in a good range of colours, some nudes, darks, pinks – they’ve got it covered. It’s also ridiculous easy to apply and cleverly twists up so no sharpening is needed. I love this shade Charm, it’s right up my street. A creamy nuded peach, it’s probably my perfect everyday shade. In terms of their balm claim I have to give them a B+; not the most moisturising product in the world but not as drying as their Lip Butters which I wasn’t really a fan of. And they do leave quite a stain on the lips. The stain that’s left once the balm wears away is a pinky peach, much darker than it appears when you first put it on but I like it nonetheless. To keep the peachy sheen topped up it’s a reapply every hour kinda job, but the stain left on your lips hangs around for a while longer. So all round a thumbs up from me!

When these will be hitting UK counters exactly I cannot be too sure, but knowing Revlon and how long they made us wait for their Lip Butters we could be waiting a while. Although British Beauty Blogger did note that these will be £7.99 when they’re released which I think is pretty reasonable for such a product. Will you be keeping an eye out for these?

    :o they’re in superdrug now?! I need some!! Especially this peachy one, it looks lovely! I didn’t rate the lip butters either, I so wanted to like them because I love a good ol’ tinted balm, and everyone else was raving about them but I didn’t find them moisturising at all!

    These are already out my local superdrug. They launch in boots from the 11th. :) I really didn’t get on with charm, just don’t think it was the colour for me. I have picked up another colour to try to compare. x

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      Ah that’s great that they are out already! x

  • Anatasia

    Forget the lippy, your happy photo made me smile. 
    I have always wanted to try the Clinque Chubbys so this may be a cheaper alternative. 

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      Haha thanks hun! x

    I need these in my life! As much as I like their lip butters, they’re not my favourite product in the world because they just don’t stay on the lips for as long as I’d like. I’ve been lusting after the Clinique Chubby Sticks but would much prefer these as they’re half the price!

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      Ah yes and apparently they’re on offer at the moment in superdrug – even cheaper :) x

  • Leigh

    I can’t wait for these to come out in the UK, hopefully we won’t have to wait long!

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      People are commenting saying they are out already! Check the superdrug and boots websites :) x

  • amy.bevissmith

    I picked one up yesterday in my local superdug..but they did look as though they’d just been put on the shelves! i picked up a lovely orange –  i didnt see this colour though :(

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      Ah amazing that they’re out already! Although it seems to look like this colour won’t be released in the UK :( x

      That’s dedication! Hope you like them x

    I think i do prefer the Clinique chubby sticks over this becuase i already feel that i have quite a few products that stains the lips and sometimes it can be quite annoying when you want to remove it. I prefer something more like a lipbalm with subtle colouring that moisturises the lips. Thanks for sharing~x

      haha, i’m sticking my one near up my nose right now trying to figure out the same. It kind of reminds me of an Avon lipbalm used to have when i was a little girl.

    I love your lashes! I love them! You’ve really inspired me for my everyday makeup with mascara and All that Glitters!
    Charm looks great on you but I’m afraid we’ll never see them live here..just like it happened with revlon’s lip butters which I’m still dying to try but..it won’t happen:-((

    hey anna, i know it’s a bit crazy to say but you’ve really been giving me this energy -very very positive! 

    just an opinion (well actually i’m craving haha) please post more of your outfits-styles-thingies because i really adore whatever you’ve posted by far -they’re all great and close to my sense of style-fashion, would absolutely love love to see more! 

    and one more thing :) i have this super sensitive skin, any recommendations for skincare with not many toxic-chemical ing.s in it? i’ve been using clinique for years and hate it just can’t replace it with anything else -dunno why. 

    best wishes to you! 

  • FloribundaR

    That. Is. So. Beautiful! Okay, so, I really wasn’t too excited about these BUT you have completely sold it to me. I just need that colour in my life! xox

  • Megan

    I was going to get the honey one of these but after seeing this post I think I want this one more :) xxx
