Pros

- pigmented
- moisturizing
- long wearing

Cons

- anount of product

Comments: Perfect bright blue pink. Pigmented, moisturizing, and wears well. Love the peppermint scent. However, this one doesn't stain. Which I actually like for this shade because the color remains the same all day. It's a cute barbie pink.

Will repurchase.

'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!

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.

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.

Very light pink color (bubblegum pink). Reminds me of Saint Germain by MAC.

I love this color it is more of a barbie pink which is sorta why I bought it the color is very pink i did hear something about that the cooler colors did have a mint smell and mine does but thats fine with me because i love mint lip products its not to over powering either, the only problem with this product is that it will show any cracks in your lips so be sure to use some type of lip balm but other than that it is a great product.

this product is a must have for me!! I bought this at Rite Aid for sale, not expecting too much. When I put it on, I felt like I was putting a lip balm, which moisturized my lip and at the same time gave a hint of beautiful pink shade! The texture is fabulous: creamy, non-sticky, smooth. I love this color because it's the perfect pink shade I can wear everyday at school, but I don't know about others. We all have different opinion about colors, so I can't guarantee that you will like the color. Look up the swatches for help. I know for sure that it's worth money if you know what color to buy. I will definitely buy more colors again in the future when there's a sale!

Revlon Cherish smells like toothpaste so that makes my lips smells clean n fresh. Leaves behind a light faded even stain. Not a stubborn stain though. Easily removable in a few wipes. Comfortably moisturizes n softens lips effectively without heavy greasy feel. A pink with noticable blue undertone. Covers n sits v smoothly on lips without clump or accentuate lip lines n broken skin. Revlon Cherish shares almost the same shade as Maybelline Pink Punch except that Cherish is very slightly bluish.

Overall I would say its not exactly staining for my pigmented lips. Doesn't suit my very yellow skin due to its blue undertone being slightly high. My face appears greenish yellow in this. Shade Cherish is a fun to hv for me but not a must try. :)

I like this product when applied only once. It's a great colour for my skin tone. The application is easy and it feels great on my lips. If I reapply later in day the colour goes very weird and no longer pretty at all. Maybe ill just try an actual lip balm to moisten the lips later in day. I am surprised how well ur lips actually do stain considering its also a balm.

i purchased this product in the color 'honey' a few months ago and really liked it, so i decided to try 'cherish.' i really like the look of barbie pink lips and wear similarly cool-toned pinks fairly often.

this color is great and is buildable from a sheer light pink to a medium pink. this is a wearable, flattering barbie pink shade that isn't so cool that it looks weird on my more warm-toned skin. it works well under gloss or similarly colored lipstick, though i prefer to wear it alone.

my lips are fairly moist, but this doesn't seem to be very hydrating. it feels similar to a standard lipstick on my lips, though perhaps a bit smoother and lighter. it's not really a lipstick, but it's not a balm either. it's similar to the clinique chubby sticks but less sheer and more lipstick-like.

i really like how precise i can be with the tip of this product. i don't feel like i need to wear lipliner. however, the packaging itself is pretty so-so. it seems a little flimsy.

all in all, i really like this product!

Bought this for £7.99 in Boots. Love this colour!!!! Completely changes my face! I would say this goes on a bit more waxy than a balm, but the colour payoff is amazing and my lips feel nice and moisturised!!! The stain it leaves behind is subtle but nice :-)

I love lip products! And seriously Revlon makes some of the best ones out there. Super Lustorous glosses got me off of my bobbi brown addiction. Cherish was the first of 3 of these that I bought. I'm not sure I've ever gone through a lip product so quickly! I love the way it goes on, feels, and smells. I do think that this color doesn't really stain my lips as much as the other two colors I have (coral and a reddish color). But it is the lip product I reach for the most. I still have a lot left, but I do see my self needing to replace this in the next few months. Even if this isn't the color for you, try one of these balm stains! They are a bit pricey for DS, but you can usually find coupons or sales. Also bought two of these for my 65 year old monther who has feathering issues, and she is enjoying them as well.

This is a blue toned pink that can go from pale to a mid-toned pink.I think that this is the most wearable color.With the shine this makes any eye look from classic and i love it.The lavender is also wearable with a light coating,
I will say that this color seems drier than the other three i have, but not overly so. With dry lips already if it was really drying it would have made my lips crack and it didn't.
The only downer the overwhelming smell of mint so if you are sensitive to cents be careful,
