Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm

I was shopping at Target last weekend, and decided to purchase the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm in the color Forbidden.  The reason I purchased this was because it was on sale for $2.98.  At that price, I figured I couldn't go wrong.  They had some other lighter colors that were more pink, but I really liked this color better than the others that were on sale.  It is a really nice color.  This product has the lip stain on one end, and just a clear balm on the other end.  I took several pictures in different lighting so you could see it in bright light and in dim light. If I am going to be completely honest about the product, then I would say that I didn't really care for the feeling of it being applied.  The applicator wasn't smooth to me.  It gave my lips this weird tickle and was a little rough going on until I used the balm side to make it shine.  I applied one coat and then applied a second coat once it dried.  And like I said previously, I put the balm on after applying the color.   It did last for a couple of hours, but it didn't have a strong staying power.  

This is the description from the Revlon website:

This unique 2-in-1 gives you kiss-proof color with soft shine and a nourishing balm for supreme comfort.

Some of the characteristics of this balm stain are as follows:

-Unique 2-in-1 lipstain and balm
-Kiss-proof color with soft shine
-Nourishing balm for supreme comfort
-Lightweight feel

It does like nice on the lips as you can see in the pictures below, but I prefer the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain.  I just like the way it goes on smoothly instead of a little rough like this one did.  That is just my opinion.  I would like to hear other's opinions on the two products.  Feel free to leave a comment below if you have used either one or both of these Revlon lip products.    

Like I stated above, I purchased this particular color on sale for $2.98.  The regular price was $7.99.  I got a pretty good deal.  Your local store may have some of the colors on sale as well! You never know until you check it out! So, go out to your local Target, and purchase this wonderful product by Revlon so you can tell all what you think of it!  You can also purchase it at places like Ulta, Walmart, local grocery store or drugstore that sells Revlon products (I can't guarantee a sale price.)      

Happy Shopping!  

Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

I recently purchased my first Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the color - 005 Crush.  It would be wonderful for your Valentine's Day look.  I absolutely adore this color.  It is beautiful.  I took several pictures in different lighting so you could see it in bright light and in dim light.  It goes on very smoothly.  You do not have to use a lot to get the full effect of the color.  Also, it lasts for hours.  I put it on in the early afternoon, and I didn't have to reapply it until late evening.   

This is the description from the Revlon website:

It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood.

Some of the characteristics of this balm stain are as follows:

-Lightweight Lipstain + Moisturizing Balm
-100% of women who tried it felt their lips were instantly moisturized with a soft stain of color
-Retractable chubby crayon, no sharpener required

All of the colors that are available are also very lovely.  I purchased this at my local grocery store and they had an in-store coupon for $3 off of any product over $5.  The regular price was a little over $7, so with my coupon, I got this for around $4. Your local store may have an in-store coupon available!  You never know until you check it out!  So, go out to your local drugstore, Target, Walmart or grocery store and purchase this wonderful product by Revlon!     

Happy Shopping!  

Revlon Nail Enamel - #330 Naughty



I was finally able to polish my nails using Revlon's Nail Enamel in the color #330 Naughty.  I had initially posted about the color in a previous post, but I had not had the chance to use it at that time:  http://thehouseofdiva.blogspot.com/2012/10/revlon-nail-enamels.html

Once I was able to use it, I came to the conclusion that I really like the color.  It looks really dark in a dim lit room, but out in the sunlight, it was a very pretty purple!  I only wore it for a couple of days and then changed colors.  The performance of the brand was really good.  While polishing my nails, it went on smoothly and did not get too thick and goopy.  I used two coats and it dried quickly.  Over the few days that I wore it, I did not have flaking.  It seems to be a good quality product.  Please see my pictures below to get a feel of what the color looked like.  In these pictures, it is mostly dark, but like I said, it does look lighter in the sun light.

Pretty In Pink.....for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Well, I polished my nails with my new Revlon Nail Enamel in color #271 Extravagant that I previously wrote about in the following post:  http://thehouseofdiva.blogspot.com/2012/10/revlon-nail-enamels.html      

I was looking for a pink color to use in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I would like to show my support of all of the survivors, lost loved ones and their family & friends in any way that I can.  I know this is a small way of doing so, but I think any support is better than none. The pictures that I have posted look a little purple, but it is pink. In my opinion, it is bright and stands out in a crowd. I really like the color and have had a lot of compliments on it so far and I have only been wearing it for a couple of days.  

While polishing my nails, I noticed that it was kind of thick.  When you put it on, you have to make sure that you do not put too much on the brush because it will make a blob on your nail and at that point, there is probably too much to spread evenly without streaks.  It will make for a very thick coat, and will take a long time to dry.  That is what happened to me the first time around.  That was a bit disappointing, but I polished my nails all over again, and the second time was much better.  I did it pretty fast, and that is why they look a bit sloppy, but if you take your time, then I'm sure your nails will look marvelous!    



My verdict on this particular brand and color is that it is nice, and I will wear the color again.  It is on the thick side and I will remember that when I use it again in the future so I won't make a big mess of my nails.  Revlon has a great selection of other colors, so please visit their website to see all of the colors available.

Revlon Nail Enamels

Tonight, I was at the store and wanted to try to find a new nail polish by OPI.  The color I was looking for was "Every Month is Oktoberfest", but it was no where to be found.  They had just about every other color.  So, I will have to see if I can find it at another store.  I was told I could find it on Ebay, but I will keep looking at the stores around me before ordering from online.

So, since I could not find what I was looking for, I decided to keep looking at different brands and colors.  Well, I came across the Nail Enamel section of Revlon polishes, and there were coupons for $2.00 off a bottle right in front of the display.  As stated on their website, Revlon® Nail Enamel delivers gorgeous smooth, chip-resistant color to nails.  There was a big selection of colors to choose from in the Revlon collection that it was hard to choose.  I tried several colors on my nails before deciding on #330 Naughty and #271 Extravagant.  These two colors just caught my eye for some reason.  The purple gray #330 Naughty was very nice, and I think it would go good with a lot of clothes in my wardrobe.  I was looking for a pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and came across #271 Extravagant.  There were plenty of pink colored nail polish, but I really liked the way this dried on the one nail I that I test polished.

The description from the website:

• Revlon Nail Enamel gives up to 10 days of lasting color & shine*. Revlon's exclusive silk-protein shield works to instantly help even out the surface of the nail while rising above color to automatically smooth away bubbles, streaks and brush marks.
• Available in 72 shades
• *when worn with Revlon Base and Top Coat.

I have not had a chance to polish my nails in either one of these colors (I only tested one nail in each color while at the store), yet, but when I do I will post pictures so you can see how pretty they are!  Hopefully, it will be real soon!
