Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've bought six of these Revlon Balm Stains. I have been looking for good liquid stain that doesn't peel or get dry. But I haven't found a good one in a couple of years now. I thought I'd give these a go. I wouldn't exactly call them a stain. However, they do last a LOT longer than the Matte Balm that Revlon makes (looks incredibly similar and has some of the same colors but the Matte balm won't last an hour with normal sipping on water). Since they are not what anyone would consider a stain, I'd like to give them 3 stars; but, I'm adding a star since I have developed a favorite color and think I can live with these as my new lip-color. They go on smooth and you can feel the light peppermint oil tingle your lips. They haven't dried out my lips. They need 2-3 applications per working day, but will last through a bit of normal drinking water and chewing gum. They won't last a make-out session or eating. Also, unless you like hot pink 1980's style lips, do not get the Sweetheart/Valentine color! It's so bright! My favorite color is Adore. I thought I'd like Honey the best...but not so. Here's the colors I have purchased and my thoughts. I've also included a picture. I am fair/pink skinned (I wear fairly light bare minerals foundation during winter and fairly medium bare minerals foundation during summer) with dark brown hair and honey-brown eyes for reference. Honey: an almost neutral color but has purple-pink undertones. reminds me of a dusty rose or pink-heather color. Adore: some gold and brown undertones. not near as dark as suggested by some pictures. a very nice color for my fair skin and dark hair combo. appropriate for everyday, including work. Charm: rather light with lots of peach undertones. good for a "nude" look on my skin. works nice when blended in with another color (I liked it with romantic mixed in most) Rendezvous: looks like an orange crayon but wears like a dark coral. surprisingly nice, but can be a bit much. Romantic: balanced red - not too purple nor too brown. fades to a very nice pink from red. good for date nights. Sweetheart: bright 1980's pink. everyone will notice these lips. my least favorite color despite many compliments from men in my age group (mid 30's). incredibly misleading company pictures about this color.
