Just Bitten Kissable Stain Balm - Crush

Ugh. This product is so good. I bought it due to the hype on here and caught it on sale at 40% off.
At first the color of the tube scared me, it looks sooo dark. But on the lips it starts off as a light berry / pink which can be built up to a darker berry. Its so flattering! It last ages and stains the lips. I agree that this is a universal product and can definitely ditch other products for …Read more

I love this balm stain so much that I want to put my other lip products away for a while. My natural lips are pigmented and sort of plummy but slightly grayish. I look hideous in any brown shades. Once my lip product wears off I hate my natural lip color. I love this product because it sticks around for a long time. My lips are stained for hours after this wears off. I don't mind the …Read more

"Crush" is a gorgeous deep berry red on me, very flattering if you've got yellow or olive tones in your complexion. I also have naturally pigmented lips, which may be why this color remains true on me instead of turning hot pink or fuchsia. It applies with a slight glossy sheen, but the color remains after the gloss wears away. The color also wears off evenly so you don't end …Read more

I really don't like this... It stains a bright pink rather than its true colour, which is a common problem for lip products like this, but, still. The peppermint smell is a little off-putting too, and I think that that ingredient may also be the reason it dries my lips up like the Empty Quarter.
Personally, I also think there's way too much shimmer/glitter in this one, really …Read more

Bought this as a suggested dupe for Glossier's Generation G lipstick in Jam. Colour is very similar, Revlon stain balm is a bit glossier. There is a lot of transfer with this product, whether right away or after a few hours, so you will see a lot of balm on anything you're drinking from. That being said, there is still colour that stays on post-transfer, and it is nice and transparent …Read more

This starts outs nice deep glossy color but very quickly stained my lips a hot bright pink. I'm not sure if this is a type of oxidation effect, but it happened to be with some of the other stains in this line. I wanted a stain that stayed dark, and it didn't do that at all. I have pigmented mauve lips.

Such a nice color, really easy to layer and it lasts a while. Leaves my lips pretty soft too. Too bad the scent is kind of off putting.

I LOVE these!! I seem to be on a roll w/ lip products recently. :)

If you have read any of my other reviews, you may be aware I only wear items that are long lasting and/or waterproof. I have no interest in primping (or worrying about primping) throughout the day - I want what I put on my face at 6:00 am to be there when I come home at night (6:00 pm). Also, I tend to stay away from …Read more

LOVE. I bought Crush & Honey when they first came out. I just saw them in Ulta and had been wanting to buy some Tarte lipstains. They looked similar and had the word "balm" so I figured I'd try it and hoped they wouldn't turn out to be one of those weird crusty-looking stains. AND THEY DIDN'T!

They don't make my lips dry at all and add a really nice …Read more

I have other colors of the Just Bitten Kissable Stain Balms. While I do wear this, I don't like it as much as the rest. It feels good on my lips. The stain is always really pretty and lasting. Unfortunately, I don't really like how it looks when I first apply it. I really have to layer it to get it to not look patchy. Even if I don't do anything different with my face or …Read more
