Comparison: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain & Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon

The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and the Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons are two very similar products and so I was interested to see the differences and overall which I preferred.


I have two shades of each - "Honey" and "Lovesick" from Revlon and "Orange Punch" and "Peach on the Beach" from Bourjois.

Price: both products are priced at £7.99

Packaging: both products have very similar packaging, however as you may be able to see from the photograph, the silver writing on one of the Bourjois lip crayons has started to fade after only a few months, compared to the Revlon balm stains which I have had for much longer and this hasn't happened so I would say Revlon has better packaging.

Colour Range: Bourjois only has four shades in the line - an orange, a peach, a red and a fuchsia whereas Revlon has several more including a purple and a berry colour, so I would say Revlon is better on this front. However, it should be kept in mind that the Revlon balm stains have been out a lot longer and so perhaps more shades will be added to the Bourjois line over time.

 

Bourjois are the top two, Revlon the bottom two

As you can see from the photos, I would say that they are both pretty equal in pigmentation, however the Bourjois lip crayons have a much glossier finish. I find that the Bourjois lip crayons are much nicer to wear as the Revlon balm stains can be slightly drying however the Revlon balm stains do last a lot longer than the Bourjois lip crayons where I find the colour fades after a few hours.

Overall, I would say that if you are looking for a moisturising lip colour then you will prefer the Bourjois lip crayons but if you are looking for longwearing colour then definitely opt for the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.
