Hi!! :)
It's no secret that I've loved the original Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains for a very long time, and I was super excited when I found out they came out with two new versions - the Matte Balms and the Lacquer Balms!
I saw the reviews on Youtube a few months back and was dying to get my hands on them. Sadly, Singapore hasn't had it yet then, so Pea kindly brought the Matte Balms back for me from the US :) According to the reviews I've read and watched, the Lacquer Balms are nothing extremely special/good, so I decided to skip them and stuck to only the Matte Balms.
However now that they're out in Singapore, I'm itching to try out the Lacquer Balms too. HAHAHA. Will add on my little review here if I do get them ^^
For now let's talk about the original Balm Stains vs the Matte Balm~!
First up, the original Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain:
These are like the best fusion of a lip balm and a lipstick in the market. Even though the colour is sheer, it is very much build-able. It is also super moisturising and I love the mint tinge to it! Not forgetting that since it's a stain, it really really stays on your lips. Haha.
I have them in 4 colours:
These are very lightly swatched. So you can imagine how build-able the colours really are. I first bought the colours Honey and Cherish. Honey is one of my MLBBs, I used it till the cap broke and I had to tape it together to prevent it from falling apart HAHA. And cause I really loved the formula (it's always moisturising > anything else for me in a lip product), I got another two - Adore and Sweetheart. Adore is a very blue based red that I always use as a base before rocking my red lips. It helps my lips to stay moisturised! It also looks great sheer :)
Next up, the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm:
The packaging is exactly the same as the Balm Stains, but these come in matte finish and I really love it! These are not as moisturising but THE COLOURS ARE SO PIGMENTED, and they last throughout the day/night. Unless I eat something really oily then my inner lips will be of a lighter shade than the outline of my lips hahaha. But other than that, it's really quite amazing! I was drinking Koi and the colour didn't even transfer onto my straw!!!
I got them in 4 colours as well:
These are lightly swatched as well! I think I only swiped once up and down. My favourite colour out the bunch has got to be Standout. It's the perfect red shade that I can wear anywhere. If I want it to look more intense I'd add a layer of Shameless so it looks more plumy :) On the other hand, Mischievous is a pretty tough colour to rock cause it's a really true orange colour. I have to finish it off with a gloss to make it less harsh (I still love it tho).
So overall, I really super love these Revlon Balms and I'd rate them 4.5/5 (Revlon please release more colours hahaha).
If you're hesitant to pick these out, don't be! Give them a try and you won't look back :)
These Revlon Balm Stains, Matte Balms and Lacquer Balms are now available at most Watsons stores and John Little, they retail at S$19.90 each :)
