I love long-wearing lip colors as much as the next woman, but you have to admit they can be a bit drying. However, Rimmel London came out this Spring 2015 with their Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss Proof Lip Color and I needed to see if this new line lived up to its claims.  I was sent several to review in 750 Heart Breaker (brick red), 550 Playing With Fire (true neutral red), and 230 Kiss Fatal (mauve-plum).  

This is a two-step lip product with one clear gloss side and the other with the lip color.  When I first pulled out the lip color with its doe-foot applicator, it was a bit thinner consistency that reminded me of a liquid lipstick.

The product went on smoothly and dried fairly quickly.  You do need to give it a minute to set before turning that tube upside down and using that clear coat of gloss.  This is what kept my lips feeling comfortable and moist instead of dry as this type of stain product can be.

Provocalips did last exceptionally longer than you might expect through eating and drinking without transferring to my coffee cup to kissing.  Some of the color does disappear to become more of a stain.  I had enough color after a meal without touching up.  All I did was add the clear end for more of a shine. In fact, the same thing happened after dinner because there was sufficient color still left.

I really loved this product because it does live up to its promises.  Although I didn’t clock it to the minute, this lippie won’t budge unless you take an oil-based remover to it.  If you don’t, you will see still have traces of it the next day.

Hard Candy Cosmetics All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stains Collection Review + ($60) Giveaway!–Ends October 27, 2014

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Starting on the left  is 808 Cupcake (medium bright pink), 607 Mavelous (rosy pink), 608 Chic (peach-nude), 604 Red Minx (tomato red), 779 Tickled Pink (light baby-doll pink), and 778 Sand Castle (nude), 606 Pout (perky pink-red), and ending with 791 Fair Lady (beige-nude) on the right.

I have become an ardent fan of lip crayons for all they can do for keeping lips moist in addition to beautifying with color. However, I had never tried any made by Hard Candy Cosmetics until I received their collection of All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stains for this review and giveaway.

These All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stains are fat, retractable crayons that double as lip gloss and stain. Furthermore, they come in a rainbow of gorgeous colors.  I got twelve (the entire collection at the time), but three more were released since then.  With these shades you can go from daytime to looks that are playful or all out glam.

Going from left to right is 923 Zappy (raspberry-pink), 920 Perky (cool violet-pink), 922 Pulse (red-orange), and ending with 921 Mystic (lavender).

Besides feeling so lightweight and soothing against my lips from the formula’s non-drying silicone base, I liked that these crayons delivered more of a slick, flavorless tint than heavy coverage. 

As far as the amount of wear to expect, I estimate about three to four hours at most before it fades and transforms into more of a glorious stain.  You may though want to reapply for that comfortable feeling as I did, but it is not necessary.

Hard Candy Cosmetics All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stains ($5) are available at Walmart or on walmart.com.  Check these lippies out!

Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains (#50 Precious and #10 Darling) Review + Swatches!

Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains (#50 Precious and #10 Darling) 

I am a big fan when it comes to lip stain products.  To know that you can eat and drink without constantly reapplying ranks highly with me. Some of these products though can leave your lips feeling drier than lipstick or gloss.  However, Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains that I recently tested for this review will keep them feeling comfortable with plenty of moisture while staying put from my best lipstick test.

According to the press, these stains are to last hour after hour for at least three hours.  Although I think they have shortchanged themselves with that estimate because they last far longer than that.  I put my #50 Precious (an innocent pink-brown nude) on after breakfast at seven.  This lasted after a coffee break and through lunch and nearly made it until dinner if not for my guy swooping in with kisses to ruin the rest of my test.  Usually, he ends up wearing whatever color I happen to be wearing at the time.   Thankfully, this time he was safe, which made both of us happy.

What else I really liked was how smooth this chubby crayon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain went on.  At the same time, the feel of this product was light while it treated and colored the lips with softness. 

The shades of the tubes closely match what you may expect to see on your own lips, which was nice for making the proper color choice. 

Another thing that won a place in my heart was that I didn't have to wait for anything to dry either and the fact that these balm stains were retractable.  All I was left to do was apply that angelic nude or adorable pink color and go about my day.

In this photo, I am modeling #50 Precious. 

The other shade I was sent was #10 Darling, (a sweet light pink-lilac).  Check out the color below that I am wearing.

I really loved these Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains for delivering everything you need in a lasting lip product--soothing moisture, pigmentation, and wearing for hours! 

Although we demand to look great, but we do have better things to do than constantly reapplying our lipsticks and glosses--so good job, Revlon.
