Revlon Balm Stain, Sweetheart

i've bought it 8 times on here, after they discontinued it at my local pharmacy. I have classic ivory, natural tan skin. This orange/red lip stain is AMAZING in the wintertime. It is a pop of color when my face is pale from no sunshine. It's old Hollywood orange/red circa Pearl Harbor movie with Kate Beckinsale.I have worn it in outdoor physical labor during 20 degree windy days. My lips are still full and healthy. I'm just starting to try new colors from this line. I tried Unapologetic and it is a magenta pink- not the bright red that was advertised online. Last night, I wore Unapologetic matte lip stain to bed, and I woke up with the color still on my lips! And I'm a side or belly sleeper! Amazing.

I've tried a LOT of lip stains that do NOT stain my lips. This brand, only the color "Sweetheart", works great. It really last for hours. I wish the other colors worked as good,but they don't. I've tried nearly all of them. I wonder why it's so difficult to make a good lip stain?

This Revlon Balm Stain can be so hard to find in stores now, so I'm glad it's online, because it is my favorite. This is my second favorite daily color, a fairly bright orange that still not as bright as a red. The color lasts and lasts, usually if I apply in morning and refresh in the evening after dinner, that is enough. I have very dry lips, and this is incredibly moisturizing. Excellent product.

The color barely shows

I've never tried a Lip Stain before, I'm very intrigued by them, I just don't want to pay that much $$ for a lip color. Hence I found Revlon's Balm Stain.The first couple of times I wore it I could feel the tingly peppermint, which I love, but then my lips got use to it and I don't feel it anymore. I think it works well as a balm, and it makes a beautiful color -- I first bought Honey (the only unopened color on Target's shelf) but it was too similar to my natural lip color, and to me that's pointless. Then online I bought Rendezvous, and I liked that it was a noticeable color, but soon decided it was too orange'ish. I finally bought Romantic, which is the perfect red and exactly what I'd been looking for!One day, I paid close attention to my red lips and I noticed after 5 hours they were still there! but by 8 hours there was nothing left. HOWEVER, I'm not sure what I must have done different on THAT day, because any time I've paid attention since then, there has been no color by 4 hours...So if anyone has any tips for making the color last, I'd love to hear it!

I own several of this line of balm stains, and I enjoy them for their nice shine, good pay-off of color, and some durability. I sometimes go to bed and still have a bit of stain from when I used it around dinnertime. I like waking up with a little color on my lips.It's not as glossy as gloss, but has a pretty shine. It's minty in scent and it's very easy to apply due to the crayon tip. The pencil rolls up (you don't need to sharpen.)I am NC42 in color and the HONEY is just like a bit of a shimmer plain balm on me (no color payoff). I've seen swatches of this looking lovely on gals with light lips. If your lips have good pigmentation, this may be a boring choice. I find that the deeper colors, like Sweetheart, are fabulous. I've rebought these. They're really great for affordable balm stains. Revlon: keep this and make more colors.A nice product.UPDATE: I tried the honey and for folks with deeply pigmented lips, this one is a waste of money. No payoff colorwise at all. It doesn't show up at all on me. For lighter lips ,I think it might work well as a nudish-pinky-beigey color. On me, zip. Nothing. Not even much shine. Oh, well. The others that I tired, tho, I still love.

So sad this is no longer available retail and only on Amazon. This is still HG status the best moisterizing lip balm stain..that is a true stained balm EVER! I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! This provides alot of color payoff with a stain that lasts all day plus super moisterizing like a creamy lip balm. Please Revlon bring this back on shelves..it is really an incredible product!! I will keep ordering this product as long as it is available!

The reason for the one star rating so that nobody else will buy it! I want it all for myself and that’s no lie. I think L’Oreal discontinued it years ago and Amazon is the only source left. I don’t know what I’ll do when it runs out… Being a normal human woman I can’t resist buying products and so I have tried to buy different lip colors and stains through the years and they all wind up being returned or falling to the bottom of my make up bag. This is the best And please don’t buy it, lol. PS, Trying to think of how long I’ve been using it and the only certain number that I can come up with is a minimum of 15 years, may have been more.
