Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

First off, it smells great! A nice minty scent. It is retractable, so no sharpening is involved. The color payoff is ok, it could be better, but it could also be worse. Once you've applied enough to get the color you want, it looks very nice. It is very creamy and not sticky at all. Staying power isn't the best, so you'll probably have to reapply after about 2 hours. Overall I really like this product. I just wish it lasted longer and was more opaque.

I love love love these! Oh my gosh the color darling (its a lavender-y color) is gorgeous! It's pigmented perfectly and I love the packaging for it. But don't be surprised if you have to reapply it every few hours but besides that its a great product I love it and I'm probably gonna get more as well.

I have been wanting the Clinique Chubby Sticks for eons and all of the Tarte lip products similar to these for ages. When I saw this in stores, I eyed it for awhile, then finally snatched up the shade "Darling". I love your standard pinks and reds, but I've been in love with any purple based lip products so when I saw this lavender shade, I knew I needed to get it! The packaging is really cute- although a little long, and the crayon tip is super cute and easy to use. I love using the tip to trace around my lips and the side of the nub to shade in the color. Darling on bare lips looks pink with a purple/blue shine. Its silky and smooth to the touch with the pigmentation of a sheer lipstick and the sheen and sparkle of a gloss. Darling also has blue/purple finely milled glitter which gives the lips an adorable "pop". On the first application I was surprised by the great pigmentation, smooth feel and adorable applicator. Super pleased and happy these were a success! I am an AVID fan of the lip butter/balm/stain craze, and these won't let you down. They are a great alternative to other similar lip products, and you can find them at the drugstore. Love the Burt's Bees like peppermint tingle too!
