Revlon Revlon Revlon!

Revlon keeps coming out with new stuff! They all look so good!!

I got my hands on the Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Coral Reef and their new Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain in Sweetheart Valentine.

Ouu that's a new word...Balmstain! Fancy.

REVLON PHOTOREADY CREAM BLUSH:

Packaging:
Simple, elegant, to the point. It comes in a simple clear, shallow jar. The diameter of it is slightly less than the MAC Cream Blushes.

Consistency:
It's extremely smooth and very very easy to blend. The colour is very even as well. It doesn't leave a chalky feel or finish upon application.

Colour:
There are 3 colours in their cream blush line. 2 of them, including Coral Reef, may scare you straight out of the container but they blend out easily and won't make you look like a clown. Easily sheered out but not so much that you can't see a thing (ehem! unlike the bouncy blush from maybelline). Pretty foolproof. Coral Reef gives you a beautiful glow!

Staying Power:
It stays a good 6 hours but then it starts to fade a little. A little trick to help your cream blush stay looking fresh? Apply a bit of powder blush over the top!

REVLON JUST BITTEN KISSABLE BALMSTAIN:

Packaging:
Very similar to Clinique Chubby Sticks. A chubby pencil style packaging with a twist up bottom. No sharpening needed! Tres cute.

Consistency:
A super smooth balm! Just in the shape of a pencil! It glides onto your lips like...well...butter!
Don't be fooled by the "kissable" in the name. If you kiss someone right after you put it on or you havent eaten and food or you didn't drink anything, and you decide to kiss someone...their lips are going to be just as pink as yours. It transfers.

Colour/pigmentation:
This balmstain is definitely more pigmented than the Clinique Chubby Sticks. The colour I got is a bright, blue-toned pink on the lips. They aren't sheer.

Staying Power:
Besides the fact that it transfers initially, it does leave a stain behind on your lips. It's not as bright as the initial colour but don't take that as me saying it isn't noticeable. You WILL notice the stain. The first time I swatched it on my hand the colour stayed for 2 days!

I prefer this balmstain to Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lipstain, you know, the one with the marker on one end and the balm on the other. That one is pretty bad.
