I am not usually one that goes for the hype of a product, but sometimes, I get dragged in. Even if it is a year later.
I originally bought this last month and was featured as part of my January Haul. Like I said, I don't usually buy something just because of the hype. Which is why I have avoided the Apocolips craze. With lip stains I just couldn't find the attraction in having something stain your lips. For me, it just screamed 'dry lips', something I suffer quite badly from. It was also the weird crayon look that just put me off buying one.
But, I was browsing through the Revlon stand and a very pretty lady next to me picked up the tester and tried it out. I couldn't help but look at the result and was shocked. The colour left on her lips was a solid glossy, almost like she had just applied a decent amount of normal lipstick to her lips. She smelt the product and then picked herself up one and left. I couldn't help it. So I tried it on my own lips to see whether it felt moisturising or not as colour is all well and good but I don't want something to damage my lips anymore than they already are.
The result : Amazing. It left my lips feeling moisturised as well as full of colour. This product was awesome. Also, at the time of me purchasing this, it was just £5, usually £7.99 over at Boots where they now have a 3 for 2 offer instead. I have since bought another colour which I will swatch and review soon, but I adore this pink.
Combination products definitely seem to be on the rise and people love them. We all seem to want a product that doesn't just give us one thing, but more. This lip stain balm does that. Lots of colour, moisture and cheap.

thats a lovely colour, I have to follow you simply because your signature on here is amazing <3
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is a perfectly acceptable reason to follow. Thank you.
DeleteIt's better late than never. I only have one, but I've been trying to justifying buying one more for my collection but I think I'm just gonna do it even if I don't need it because they are so awesome! I cant wait to see the swatches of the other one you bought.
ReplyDeleteI will post it this week, they are such great products. Might end up buying the whole range.
DeleteI love love love these! Best product of 2012! I only have 2 but I'm definitely considering buying some more but I wasn't sure which colour to go for, Cherish looks beautiful though :) x
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree, I cannot believe it took me so long to purchase one.
DeleteI'm exactly the same when it comes to giving into hype! I may not buy it straight away but after a year I go crazy!
ReplyDeleteI love the quality of my JBKBS but not overly sure on the colour. May try this colour out!

Makes me want a product less, no idea why. I hate hearing about the apocolips now, though sadly enough have bought one recently. Ooops.
