My Opinion: - These days BB Cream releases are coming in every month and from every brand, today I am here with the review of Revlon Photoready BB Cream Skin Perfector in the shade Light Medium which suits my skin tone perfectly. The packaging of this BB Cream is similar to all other creams available in the market, it comes in a tube. The tube is opaque and matte silver with a black screw-on lid to match. Upon opening the black lid, a blunt nozzle can be found which is perfect to dispense the right amount of product. This kind of packaging makes it travel-safe and hygienic.

                           Now coming to the fragrance of this BB Cream, it smells chemically just like Revlon New Complexion Makeup. But the fragrance fades off after application so it is not worrisome for the beauties with sensitive noses. The texture of this BB Cream is soft and creamy and consistency is thick. Blending it into my skin is as easy as a breeze. It does not sit on top of my skin, it is absorbed into the skin upon slight blending with fingertips. Since the shade Light Medium is an exact match to my skin tone, it blends into my skin and gives it an even tone and streak-less finish.








                       My skin is very oily & acne-prone and this BB Cream is very hydrating. I use it on my bare skin without a moisturizer underneath. Since it has SPF 30, I don't need to apply extra sunscreen as SPF 30 is adequate for me since I sit in my office all day long. I don't really go out much in the sun. But I have to dust my Tzone with a loose powder after an hour of applying the BB Cream. The finish is dewy at first and then the face looks shiny within an hour of application. But in an air-conditioned environment this BB Cream stays dewy for around 2+ hours. After that my face needs a dusting with powder. Also this good-looking BB Cream doesn't give any coverage, its sheer and very light-weight. It is unable to hide or blur out the minor flaws and imperfections let alone cover under-eye circles. Therefore I am pressed to use a concealer to hide those aforesaid flaws.

SWATCH- SPREAD

                  This BB Cream is very sheer and cannot be built up, only a product build up can be seen if it is layered. Also it stays put on my skin for around 4-5 hours and about 1- 1.5 hours longer in an air-conditioned environment. Thereafter it fades off or rather evaporates and disappears. So I don't wear it to office, I apply it when I have to go out for short time, like shopping, outing with friends. But here I would like to add that this BB Cream minimizes the pores and doesn't give the much hated whitish cast. I use it as a primer sometimes and I am happy that it works very well. Foundations glide over this cream very easily and stays put for much longer period of time. In today's market where new BB Creams are coming up every now and then, this BB Cream might lose due to its sheerness and non-buildable quality. But it will prove to be a great moisturizer cum sunscreen for dry skin beauties.





Pros: -


* Easily Available

* Affordable considering the fact that a small blob is required for the face & neck

* Blends like a dream

* Skin absorbs it quickly

* Contains SPF 30 but does not give that whitish cast

* Minimizes pores to some extent

* Didn't break me out

* Gives a dewy glow which many of us like

* Would prove to be a great moisturizer cum sunscreen for beauties with dry skin

*Works as a primer too

SWATCH- BLENDED

Cons: -


* Not suitable for Oily Skin like mine (but I shall keep it away for the winters)

* Stays on for only 4-5 hours if not fixed with a dusting of powder

* Very sheer coverage and not buildable

* Does not hide dark circles and other imperfections

            


                      I rate Revlon Photoready BB Cream Skin Perfector 4 out of 5. I think this product will best suit beauties with normal to dry skin and oilies like me should stay away from this BB Cream atleast during hot and humid days. I have kept it aside for use in winters and I have a feeling that it will perform much better on my oily skin which turns combination type during the winters. If you have normal/dry and flawless skin then this is for you.

Maybelline Clearglow Shine Free Clear Stick BB Stick - Review

Ponds White Beauty All-In-One BB+Cream with SPF 30 PA++ - Review

2.8 gms for INR 500


Revlon Says: - Cream blushes that can be used for lips and cheeks. New for your PACIFIC COAST look by Gucci Westman! The collection?s must-have it item for the season is a limited-edition lip & cheek stick. Gives you a perfect flush of color and soft dewy finish with a non-sticky feel.


Available in 3 Spring shades: Tahitian, Sunset and Pink Passion.


* Tahitian has faint peachy finish

* Sunset is on the pale orange hue

* Pink Passion is a bright pink colour and definitely the only baby stick that required just 2 rubs (with pressure!) for the color to become visible.


Usage : Apply to cheeks for a glowing blush or to Lips for a matte effect with high pigment color and great for on the go. (Taken from MedplusBeauty.com)

Ingredients: - Not Listed

My Opinion: - When I saw these cute fatty Baby Sticks at Shoppers Stop, I literally pounced on them. I so regret my purchase now :( Actually I was about to get 2 of them- Sunset & Pink Passion but thankfully I got only 1 to try out at first. They didn't have testers and I was in love with the packaging. Now coming to the packaging of these Baby Sticks, they are cute, very cute. Short & fat like a cute chubby baby. The outer casing corresponds to the shade of lip/cheek stain shade. Easy to use and carry around but not hygienic.

                        The texture of the baby stick is waxy and hard, though it looks soft and gel-like. It is difficult to put it on the lips and on the cheeks. You need to swipe about 20 times to get a very light tinge of color (????). It feels waxy and its impossible to blend it into the skin. It basically looks like colorless grease on my cheeks and on my lips it feels waxy. Overall it gives an uncomfortable feel to my lips/cheeks when applied.

                         The fragrance of the Baby Stick is exactly the same as crayons but it fades off upon application. I cannot use it as a base for my powder blushes as it settles into 2 greasy shiny streaks on my cheeks as it is totally not blendable. This stick is not moisturing instead its very drying on the lips. There's no proper information on the pack, not even ingredient list and sadly Revlon India website also has no information about this product. These Baby Stick apart the appearance are complete duds. Girls save your money for better products. My first disappointment from Revlon, I think. 
                         

Pros: -


* Cute packaging

* Easily Available

* Pretty shades (in the tube only )

* Easy to carry around

Cons: -




* Expensive at Rs 500 for 2.8 gms

* No pigmentation, its nearly colorless

* Totally unblendable

* No ingredient list available

* No information regarding this product on the Revlon India Website

                    I rate Revlon Baby Stick For Lips & Cheeks in Sunset 2 out of 5. I love Revlon as a brand and use loads & loads of Revlon products but I have not been disappointed with any other product except this one. Not recommended, girls invest in other products which are atleast usable.  This one is a total miss from Revlon :(

**The shades Precious & Charm are not available in India

My Opinion: - I am not much into lipsticks but there are times when I completely depend on a lipstick to perk up my look. I am more of a lip gloss person, actually I have been that way since I first started to use lip products on myself. But when I saw these in the Revlon counter, I was too attracted to resist. I bought 2 shades on the very first day, and today I am going to put forward my views on the shade Honey Douce. The packaging of Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain is so cute and girly.  It looks like a chubby crayon and the body is made up of sturdy plastic and its color resembles the shade of the lip stain. The bottom needs to be twisted for the lip stain to come out & go in, its retractable. These are easy to carry around as the cap shuts tight and will not mess up your purse.

                 It smells like peppermint but the smell/scent fades off upon application. It is basically tasteless and gives a cool feeling to the lips when applied. The texture of this balm stain is creamy yet non greasy. Its certainly not a very moisturising product and beauties with dry chapped lips better apply a lip balm underneath. This balm stain is not drying on the lips but when it's gone you might find your lips a bit stretchy. The pencil form helps in applying it on the go without a mirror as the particular shade looks so natural on me.

SWATCHED IN NATURAL DAY LIGHT

                  Revlon Just Bittten Kissable Balm Stain Honey Douce is a dusty-muted pink with mauve undertones and looks natural on me. It is a nude pink which would suit most Indian skin tones or you could say that it would be a good MLBB shade for many girls. It gives a tingling sensation to the lips upon application which stays on for a while but the sensation is prolonged if applied to freshly scrubbed lips. A single swipe gives sheer amount of coverage but 2-3 swipes gives medium to opaque coverage, therefore I can say its decently pigmented.

SWATCHED IN ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

                 When freshly applied, this balm stain gives a nice shine which lasts for an hour at the most. Later on it does not fades off or vanishes rather it leaves behind a beautiful tint which looks fresh for hours. Though it is a little difficult to remove the tint completely from the lips,it can be washed off to some extent with soap and water and completely removed with the help of a makeup remover. This balm stain looks fresh and lasts for about 4 hrs on my lips before fading off evenly. A hit from Revlon!!!!



Pros: -


* Chubby & cute packaging but its so girly

* Decently pigmented

* Contains a lot of product, so Rs 600 is somewhat justified I suppose

* No overwhelming scent, a pleasant peppermint scent that fades off upon application

* Does dry out my lips and makes them flaky but gives a rough after feel

* Honey Douce is a beautiful dusty pink with mauve undertones, looks natural on me

* Leaves a pretty stain on the lips, doesn't leave them stark naked

* It's creamy but not greasy




Cons: -


* Not a long lasting product, it's a balm stain after all

* The shine does not last all day as mentioned by the brand, goes away after an hour or so

* This particular shade is not for those with pigmented lips



          I rate Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey Douce 4.5 out of 5. These come in 10 very beautiful wearable shades. The shade Honey Douce looks very natural on me and could be a MLBB shade for many Indian girls. This shade is perfect for office/college wear, a great nude/neutral for everyday wear. This shade leaves a pretty stain on the lips which lasts for hours. But girls with pigmented lips are requested to test out this shade before investing. A great  lip crayon from Revlon :)
