Revlon Balm Stain, Honey

From top to bottom... Sultry (a matte balm), Honey (balm stain), Romantic (balm stain), and Crush (balm stain)I LOVE ALL OF THESE. The Sultry matte balm glides on super smooth and even, and is super pigmented. One swipe and you're good to go!Honey is more of a neutral pink color but stands out just enough! It is sort of like a dusty pink color. Romantic is kind of like a coral- red color. It is not a true red but it's perfect for me! Not too orangey either, just the right hint of coral! & Crush is probably my favorite color by far. It is not the same as the color shown however. The color shown is like a dark maroonish but the color I received is more like a pinkish- purple color. If you look at the stick itself you can see tiny flecks of what appears to be glitter but I don't see that at all when I put it on my lips. All of the balm stains have a pleasant, smooth feeling going on the lips and they have a slight mint smell to them which I love. They don't smell like lip products. I ordered all of these from Amazon and they all came in individual sanitary packaging and I did not have any issues with broken seals or broken product at all. I would highly recommend buying these!!

Starting off with the elephant in the room; this product is as far from a "lip stain" as I am from Mars! I don't know what Revlon was thinking when they used the word "stain" in the name, I'm guessing they had no dictionary in the board room that day. Even that's no excuse in today's world because someone could have simply asked Google. That's my rant for this product and truly my only con for it either.Onto the pros! I have the Honey color, and no, it is not the actual color of honey. It's actually a beautiful mauvey neutral. It's quite soft and silky on the lips which lands itself as a perfect depiction of a balm. I used my phone's flashlight to apply it in the dark once and saw that it has a bit of a shimmer in the color and really gives it a more lipstick look. The shape of the giant crayon works very well for lining the lips before filling them in. If you use the side of the crayon to fill them in, you will be able to keep the tapered shape, otherwise you will end up with a fat nub that gives little precision in application. Also, the scent is very pleasant. It's almost like a minty chamomile tea smell that goes away shortly after you apply it. There's no flavor to it, which I prefer not to eat the color off my lips because of delicious lippies! I hope this helps you out. Please click helpful if it does.

I was on the search for a lip stain that didn't dry out my lips, but that I didn't have to reapply seven times a day, and I sort of found it.Application - It's very smooth and easy to apply, and it applies evenly.Color - Honey is a my lips but better color, like others have said. I find it a little pinker and more attractive than my own lips. I don't personally love using these sorts of colors because if I put on a nice chapstick, it's about the same color without drying out my lips, and these do dry out your lips, I'm sorry to say.Romantic is a gorgeous red that I find absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long as I wanted it to. So what I do is take a dark red marker stain and color in my lips and then I put Romantic overtop. It stays Romantic's color, but it doesn't go away as quickly. With this method, even using the one dollar elf lipstains, it lasts almost all day. I don't re-apply the marker stain, only the balm.Sweetheart's color honestly scares me. I put it on and my father told me very clearly "wow. Your lips are..Um.....Pink." They were. They were incredibly pink and it just didn't flatter my skintone. I gave it to my older sister and she likes it a lot better, though. While I didn't love the color, Sweetheart's staying power is just incredible.Overall, these don't last forever and they're drying, but with some learning curve, they can be pretty darned great. They're my favorite of all my lipstains.

I've been using this lipstick since it came out. Unfortunately, it's not being sold in stores anymore. I like the way it moisturizes my lips without feeling like a lipstick. It says in the description that it's a lip stain, but it's not. It doesn't stain your lips at all, so the staying power isn't the same. I love the light weight feel of it without feeling goopy or dry on my lips like alot of lipsticks are. It has a slight minty taste, and the color is light enough to be natural with a boost. I like that you can wind it up or down to protect it too. I'm just sad that I can't find it anymore.
