'Cherish' is a deceivingly bright blue-toned pink. I don't think this colour suits me at all so its not one I would repurchase.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain's come in crayon-like packaging, no need for sharpening as the product has a wind up mechanisim. They smell very strongly of mint which I personally loooove & they apply very easily. Can be applied sheer but they do develop themselves to become brighter not too long after. They aren't the most moisturising nor are they extremely drying so I would say you can definitely feel you have something on your lips but its not uncomfortable at all for me.

They last extremely well! It lasts for 5+ hours before needing to reapply for more opacity but they do leave a light colour on your lips which is great. If you immediately eat or drink after application though, colour will come off. The stain needs to develop and actually 'stain' the lips for a while, so if I do that, after eating or drinking the colour will still be about 80% there which I was impressed with.

Overall the lip stains are a great lip product for someone who hates touching up. There is also a pretty good shade range to choose from. Unfortunately I don't like this shade, but I do recommend other shades from the line! continued >>

I absolutely love this. Tons of colors, goes on smooth and stays forever! I never really wore a bright lip before but after trying this (and loving it), I've branched out. It can be a little drying, which I wouldn't expect from a balm but it still stays on all day and gives a great pop of color. I have four colors already and will keep on buying!

I hate this product, it's absolutely awful! I had been looking for a sheer pale pink shade and I had the choice between this and the lip butter in cotton candy, I chose this as I wanted one with a bit more staying power but I really regret my descision. There is such a blue undertone to this that it looks awful on me, and unless you apply the tiniest amount it's far far too bright. Shows up every tiny bit of dryness on my lips and leaves my lips feeling dry and tight. Think this will be banished to the bottom of the drawer :(

What I find most difficult about this collection is that because the tube is completely sealed off, you can't pop open the top and see the true color of the product. So I randomly picked up cherish and all I could do was hope for the best. But when I opened the product, I was slightly disappointed :(
I was expecting a neutral pink color, not a heavily blue undertone pink...don't get me wrong, the texture is lovely and I adore that mint extract that's added to the formula. Now keep in mind that I do have quite pigmented lips, so it made my lips look slightly purple with just a few coats. I'm no where near comfortable with pulling off the whole purple lip look just yet, so I was a tad turned off by it. However, after the glossy cream finish hate gone away, I did notice the stain was a very pretty, straight up pink color. I'm not too fond of this shade, but hopefully I'll learn to love it in the future.

If you have pale lips like mine, this would work well for you. For a balm stain, it's quite pigmented. It looks like a sheer lipstick when i wear it and the pink is so pretty. it does feel moisturizing and at the same time, it does stain my lips for a couple of hours. Clinique Chubby Stick is very similar but twice the price of this one.

I love this product, My lips looks amazing when i put it on and it stays on for hours. I have never used a pink lipstick/stain before and I am going through a pink faze so I thought I would give it a go and i am very happy. The only problem I do have is it dry’s my lips out a fair bit, All I do is pair it will Nivia Soft Rose and that helps with the dryness. Overall I Love this product and would defiantly buy it again.

I bought 3 of these Revlon balms and I almost took this one back before I tried it. Ironically, it is my favorite of all three. I have pale skin and darkly pigmented lips. Most often when I try colors that are lighter than my lip color they look weird to me. This gloss goes on semi sheer. I apply and blot. Then I apply gloss or lipstick and gloss. When I first tried it, I asked the opinion of two female coworkers, who thought it looked natural. The other colors I tried, Lovesick and Smitten, go on garishly bright and if not blotted and subdued look whorish. I was also surprised that the mintiness didn't cause me to have an irritated or allergic reaction. The balm is somewhat drying. I would use moisturizing lip products in conjunction with it.

If you have fairly pigmented lips, as I do, you may want to skip this product. From the swatches I'd seen online, I was expecting more of a stain than a tinted balm, but I had to apply several layers before I saw a distinct color. Plus, there are quite a few dupes for this shade (MAC Creme Cup comes to mind). If you want a sheer cool-toned pink, or if you have pale lips, this product might work for you; it did feel moisturizing, so that's a plus. Otherwise, not worth even the $9 I paid for it.

very light cool-toned pink, reminds me of MAC Angel. Both are not look good on my lips.

Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain's are great in general (easy to apply and nice smell/taste), but I think you have to be careful about what colors you are picking. Cherish is a beautiful pink color, but I think because it is a lighter shade, it serves more as a lipstick than a balm stain. This color doesn't stain my lips at all and wears off in about 1-2 hours. It also catches on the any part of my lips that are dry. I've tried other dark colors in this line which I love and they last forever! I use this product now only because I love the color, I probably wouldn't repurchase this color again though just because I think I can find something that lasts longer.
