Revlon Eye Shadow Quad in Delightful Swatches and Review

A few weeks ago, Rite-Aid had REVLON for 40% off!  I went in search of some of their new products but when my store was sold out, I decided to try this eye shadow quad.   This was my first eye shadow purchase from REVLON, and I have to say that I am really impressed with the quality.  



Quad in Delightful




Delightful Swatches


All of the colors applied evenly and smooth.  My only issue was with the gold because there was a little fall out and the color was not very pigmented.  But tapping my brush before application took care of that.  The shadows are a little powdery, but for a drug store product I thought the color payoff for all the colors, with the exception of the gold, were great.  When I wore this quad I did use an eye shadow primer which helped the colors show brighter.  

I really enjoyed using this quad.  It gives me a light and airy look, which I found perfect this summer.  

Have you tried any of the new Revlon eye shadow quads?

REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in SMITTEN

My latest REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain purchase.  I just love these things.  I was hesitant to buy this color at first because I thought it would be too dark.  This color is a lot lighter on the lips than it appears in the stick.  

SMITTEN is a light berry color and in my opinion this color is perfect to wear all year round.

I hope this swatch helps  you decide on your purchase.

Have you tried this color or another color from the REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains?

REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in HONEY

 Another one of the from my growing collection of REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.  I only have 5 but it probably seems like more, since I have featured others in previous posts.  Honey is a really light mauve color that is basically a "my lips but better" color.

I have showed this in my current favorite lip combo post HERE.

REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in PRECIOUS

Here is another one from my collection.  I have to say, I really do love them all.  I like this one because it's so light.  It gives you just a little bit of nude color to the lip.  It is very similar to Charm, so I don't think you need them both.   You can check out an early post with my review and a skin swatch here.

Current Favorite Lip Combo: NYX, Revlon, & MAC

My Current Favs for my Lippies!


This is something that generally changes week to week for me, as I am sure it does with most people.  I have recently become more into lip products and feel like I am buying new things every chance I get.  With all the new products I have to choose from it is really hard to pick just one favorite, but these 3 products are my current favorites of this week.

And the combo is:

NYX Lipliner in 810 Natural
REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 001 Honey
MAC Lustreglass in Pinkarat



Sorry this picture is a little dark.  I use natural lighting and it has been cloudy for days.  But the colors still show true.


The end result!


I just love this combo! The liner is more brown, while the balm stain is more mauve, and topping it with the pink gloss with golden shimmer gives it an overall shimmery nude look.

What is your current favorite lip combo?

I have been hesitant to do actual lip swatch photos lately because I am currently battling Melasma due to pregnancy.  Melasma is darkening of the skin in areas or spots.  I am 9 months pregnant and as soon as my new little man gets here I will be blogging about my journey to get my skin back to normal.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a great week!

Stay Beautiful!

REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in CHARM

The latest edition in my REVLON JUST Bitten Kissable Balm Stain collection!


I have written about these before but this is my newest color and wanted to share.  Just like the blog post before, Charm is also in a plastic tube with a twist up bottom, and has a slight menthol/minty scent.  After about an hour of wear you will notice some of the glossy finish begin to disappear but the stain remains. =)

I love this color! It is a light delicate peach, that just gives your lips a subtle hint of color.  I would definitely recommend exfoliating your lips prior to using this shade of this product has it could amplify the look of dead skin.  


 CHARM 035





On Lips


I can not say enough good things about these REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.  I enjoy wearing them so much! They are moisturizing and from the ones that I own, they each give the perfect amount of color.  I will probably be adding more of the darker colors to my collection for fall! =)

I definitely recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a good quality moisturizing lip stain.  REVLON makes amazing products and has become my favorite go to drug store brand.

Let me know if you have picked up any of these and how you like them!

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Thanks for reading!

New Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

Thank you Revlon!!!

As I was on my way to Dillards to pick up some of Clinque's new chubby balm sticks, I decided to stop at rite aid and I'm so glad I did.  Tarte is known for it's LipSurgence line, and rightfully so because they are amazing but a bit pricey at $24 a piece.  Clinque released their version called Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm, priced at $16 a piece.  I thought I was getting a major deal on a similar product as I was headed to the Clinque counter, that was until I spotted these new babies from Revlon.


Revlon's Just bitten Kissable Balm Stains

These are available in 12 different shades and are twist up's, no sharpening required. I found these to be very creamy in application and they felt moisturizing on my lips.  I purchased the 3 shades I thought would be perfect for my skin tone and they are lovely but at only $8 and change I can go back to pick up some other shades and experiment with color!  So much fun for summer!!

After about an hour or so of wear, the glossly finish begins to wear away but the stain is left behind.  Reapplication is a breeze with these chubby sticks, but you could even just use your favorite gloss or balm if you did not want to add more color.


I highly recommend picking some of these up!  I have seen them in Rite-Aid, Walmart, and Target so far.
