Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Rendez-vous

I have a slight addiction to lip products. Namely pink lip products. So when I heard that Revlon were releasing the Just Bitten Kissable balm stain range I couldn't wait to get my hands on one (or two!). I love my Revlon lip butters and have all the pink shades so popped along to Boots (Boots and Superdrug currently have Just Bitten on offer for £5.99) fully intending to pick up one of the pink shades.....
However...
The local Boots had sold out of all the pink shades so I ended up being a bit more adventurous and getting Rendez-vous. 
It's a bright orange/coral colour and completely out of my comfort zone! 
The bottom twists to push the "crayon" up. There is a lot of product and I think this will last for ages! The balm smells minty which is a nice touch. The colour applies well, no dragging and is very pigmented. The only thing I didn't like about it was its lasting power, I needed to reapply this frequently. I also found it didn't stain my lips evenly leaving a stain only around the edges which made me look as though I had been eating something orange!  
I'm glad they had sold out of the pink shades, making me pick up Rendez-vous.
 I have so many pink products that I would never have got around to using it! 
I went to another store and swatched all the colours as I want another one whilst they are on special offer.
Top to Bottom
Rendez-vous
Romantic
Crush
Honey
Lovesick
Cherish
Darling

Artificial Lighting in store.  
Outside in the sunshine. 
I took this after the swatches had been on my hand for an hour.
As you can see the colours fade quickly, but they do leave varying degrees of stain.

Have you picked any of these up? What do you think?

    I haven't bought any of these or lip butters as I quite like matt lipsticks most of the time but these do have some lovely colours so you may have changed my mind ha ha :)

    Rendez-vous really suits you :) The lip stains look lovely but I was sceptical of the lasting power. Although saying that I will probably pick one up anyway :P Sophia x

      love the colour of honey - quite unique but wearable. not really a fan of the peppermint scent, tho.

    I have Honey and Romantic - Honey is wonderful, definitely a my lips but better shade, and Romantic is a bright red that's out of my comfort zone but very easy to wear because the product is so balmy :) x

    I really like the color on you. I haven't got any Revlon kissable lip stains yet but dying to get my hands on these as I read excellent reviews on those. Thanks for the review! Think I would go with the rendez-vous. I already placed on orders on honey and darling from Ebay (where I live, they are not available yet) .

    found your blog and following you definitely. You have an awesome blog!
