REVLONBalm Stain, Cherish

So I had previously been using a long wear lipstick that couldn't really make it through a meal, and worse, would dry out majorly. Nothing says, "kiss me" like lipstick that somehow manages to be both dry and sticky.Anyways, my friend swore by this stuff, and I had been drooling over the color. I told her I had naturally darker lips (darker than the color) and hadn't had much luck with stains in light pink. (A previous Revlon purchase of a marker like product was a huge fail.) She insisted this stuff would work, and she was TOTALLY right.I can't wait to buy more, in other colors, and phase out my draggy lipstick. (Man, wish I hadn't just bought two of those, at 10 a pop, I could have purchased THREE of these!)Overview* Lightweight* Not dry* Moisturizes but doesn't smudge* Long lasting* Packs a punch of color (light color shows up on darker lips)

best colored lip product I have ever purchased. I had to get almost every color. goes on like a chap stick with a clean application with the pointed top. stains lips gently for all day wear. build able color that can be reapplied and will stay on all day while moisturizing. great for work or if you are planning on eating. there is a basic color for any outfit: reds, pinks, burgundy, orange, natural lip color. honey is my all time favorite. best purchase! worth the price. i never worry wearing these that they will run or spread on my face or teeth. no need for a lip liner and blotting can make a more matte look too.

I generally prefer tinted glosses, but my guy absolutely hates kissing me when i'm wearing a gloss, so i've been testing out new products. I tried this balm stain in "cherish" and after about a month i'm a fan. The color goes on fairly strongly pink, but it fades to a nice rosy color after about an hour. The "stain" aspect lasts most of the day, depending on how much i eat/drink, but the "balm" aspect only lasts about an hour. I'm prefer to have some form of balm/gloss on my lips so this is a bummer. I just supplement with chapstick. Notably, it has a hint of a peppermint flavor which i found to be a nice surprise.As for packaging (which i noticed some complaints about), it's shrinkwrapped in perforated plastic. not great, but not especially hard to remove.

I have about 30 lip sticks and balms from different brands, pretty much all of them are more expensive than this one, but this Revlon balm stain has been my favorite for a couple years. It stays all day long even after meals(as long as you don't try to rub it off.) and the colors are awesome, not too heavy for work, yet gives your lips a vivid tint. Based on my personal experience, it doesn't dry my lips as well. I got compliments all the time whenever I'm wearing it, and a lot of my friends have asked what lip product did I use.I have used two entire tubes of these already, this is the only lip stain that I would buy and buy and buy again. I'm collecting all the colors, and yes, I've already recommended it to everyone.

Purchased “Cherished”, a little waxy however goes on nice. The problem is the color is bright pink, nothing at all like the virtual try on color. Not even close. Returning tomorrow, will not purchase again.

This stuff is awesome!!! Beautiful creamy color that applies easily, stays true, feels great, tint stays for a long time (but creaminess diminishes), and this smells FANTASTIC!!! I really love this and intend to reorder when I run out. Tempted to order a second just to be sure I have on hand when I do finish the first. This was a really really great buy!!!!

This looks nothing like it's supposed to. Even the packaging is a different color than shown here. It's a barely-there bluish pink. Already opened and tried, so can't return. Total waste of money.

I guess I'm a little confused from the reviews -- these do have nice texture and color, but they did not stay on my lips very long at all, even without me eating or drinking anything. I've been trying to find a stain that will stay with me the whole work day, but I guess my search continues.
