Bite my lips

I saw Revlon's "Just Bitten" Lip Stain advertised in a recent issue of Lucky Magazine. It took me a couple of tries to find it but I finally got one for $11.99 at Long's Drugs.


My say on the product is that it's definitely NOT WORTH the $11.99 I shelled out for it. It is...in a word...w-e-i-r-d. At first, you're like, ooh, it looks like a vial of blood, which I thought was kinda cool in a science-y kind of way. But, then I discovered it has a cheapo roller ball applicator that doesn't really work well. The gloss itself is too "wet" for a roller ball applicator so it goes on kind of messy. It's not horrible but I'm expecting me if I have to pay double-digits for lip stains. If you're looking for a great lip stain, try Benefit's pocketpal benetint + gloss. That's totally worth double digits in money.



The brush applicator is perfect and the gloss on the other end highlights the "just bitten" look that I really want.

Conclusion: If you're looking for a quality lip stain, skip Revlon's and buy Benefit's benetint pocket pal for $20.00. It's totally worth the extra dollars.
