High Street Heroes: Revlon Lip Crayons

If you're a long-term reader you'll probably know how much I love the Revlon lip crayons, they are my ultimate go-to lip product because they are so easy to use/wear/apply.  They are without a doubt my favourite lip products available on the high street. I have built up a little collection of four of the balm stains and two of the matte balms and I just love them.  I don't have any of the lacquer balms mainly because they look similar on the lips to the balm stains, but don't leave a stain behind.  I'm really happy with my little collection, but I can't help lusting after a couple more... oops!

I have four of the Just Bitten Kissable balm stains in a range of colours - Romantic, Crush, Lovesick and Cherish.  They all leave behind a gorgeous stain when the balm fades which I absolutely love because I am definitely not the sort of girl that reapplies lipstick every twenty minutes.  The stain fades really evenly so you aren't left with a weird lip-liner effect after a few hours, and it withstands eating and drinking pretty well.  Romantic is a true red shade which can be applied lightly to stay sheer or built up to a more opaque shade.  The stain left behind this is so long lasting making it perfect for long days.  Crush is a purpley berry shade which is my go-to every day lip product in autumn/winter without being too vampy.  Lovesick is a really bright blue-toned pink which my mum hates but my boyfriend and I love.  It's such a bright girlie shade it feels like a pick-me-up; it's impossible to feel sad with this on your lips! My last balm stain is Cherish which is a baby blue-toned pink which is my least favourite because the balm part of it it kind of frosty which I'm just not keen on. It's such a shame because nice shade once it fades so I do still wear it sometimes, but I just wiiish it wasn't so frosty!

I also have two of the newer matte balms which I adore.  They look matte but aren't at all drying or uncomfortable to wear, they're relatively long lasting for a high-street matte lip product and they're so opaque.  I definitely recommend grabbing a few of these - they're definitely worth the money.  I have a bright orange shade called Audacious which I need to be feeling brave to wear out of the house and I think will look even better with a tan but I love it and it got quite a few compliments.  This is the newest addition to my collection but I'm so glad I grabbed it, I can't wait to wear it on holiday in the summer.  Lastly is Elusive, which is pretty much as close to nude as I go.  As much as I wish I could pull off a nude lip, I've never found anything that doesn't drain all the colour from my face.  Elusive is an easy-to-wear everyday shade that I find myself reaching for on a day-to-day basis.

I completely recommend these lip crayons, I adore the packaging, formulation and shade range and they're pretty cheap too.  I can't help having my eye on a few more of these beauties - I fancy picking up Standout (matte balm) and Rendezvous (balm stain).  I'm planning on doing a few more 'high street hero' posts showcasing some of my favourite drugstore products that I just can't get enough of.  What are your high street heroes?
