Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I am loving these for everyday wear. I have now purchased three of the colours (Standout, Sultry and Shameless) and I've been wearing them almost every day both for work and partying. The matte finish is the biggest drawcard for me as I'm not a fan of shiny lips and I love the fact that it's a balm and doesn't have that sticky, drying texture that a lot of matte lipsticks can have. The staying power is better than I expected for a balm and I tend to only need a serious touch up after a meal. Another added bonus is the subtle minty flavour. Of all the colours I have bought, I seem to be getting the most mileage out of Standout right now. It's an excellent shade of bright red. I'd love to see them add more dark colours to the range.

I have always been a big fan of Revlon kissable balm stain and I'm also in love with this line. This is a must-try if you want to have smooth yet matte lips.

The size of the packaging is pretty much the same with the older line (kissable balm stain) but guess what, it's in matte too, so cute and easy to distinguish when you own different shades.

The price is very affordable, I bought mine off ebay for 15$ incl. shipping but you can buy from Farmers when they are on sale for about 18$. And of course, it lasts for ages.

I bought three shades: Audacious (neon tangerine) , Shameless (purple) and complex (nude). Much as I love shameless and complex, audacious did not work really well for me. It's the shade that Emma Stone wore for the campaign but the balm just doesn't stay on my lips at all.

I really love the texture ( except for Audacious), it's very smooth and hydrating your lips quite well. The lippies are matte but they don't dry up, you just need to apply the lipstick and have the matte effect immediately.

In terms of longevity, this line does not stay as long as balm stain but can last for at least 2 coffee.

I have a little obsession with these! I have this in Elusive which is a really nice pink that is really good for every day wear. While some matte lip products can be quite drying, I don't find these to be all that drying at all, and they have reasonably staying power - I found I was wanting to reapply after 3 hours or so, but I guess it depends on what you're doing! Over all, a really nice creamy formula, super matte finish and really pretty colours - I'll definitely be buying a couple more colours!

It felt like I waited forever to get my hands on these! Once I finally got to Farmers I made a bee line for Standout. It's the most gorgeous, wearable true red. And I haven't been disappointed by it! It's long lasting and non drying.

Because there was a deal I also purchased 2 more, Showy, which is a bright barbie pink and Sultry which is a dark rosy shade. While not as long lasting as Standout, Showy is a fun bright colour and Sultry is a very nice neutral (somewhat mature) shade.

Being greedy I then returned to Farmers a week or so later and purchased 2 more. I brought Unapologetic and Elusive. Unapologetic is a very bright coral shade, I live it but it's super annoying as I find thus one slightly drying and not long lasting. But the colour is gorgeous! Elusive is a very pretty neutral pink, great for everyday.

Overall Standout is literally the standout shade for me. It lasted through eating and drinking and had to be removed with a lip scrub! The others don't really match up but I am loving the new shade selection as the original Balm Stains colours were a bit blah.

These are not a stain like the originals. I wouldn't consider them a balm either. While being more hydrating then a matte lipstick they don't exactly work like a 'balm' to me they are a pigmented matte lip colour. They do have that strong peppermint scent, which I like.

I am keen to try more shades as even though I have a few disappointments in them they are still I really nice product.

I received one of these from a Revlon pack and its honestly the only item i liked from the whole pack! I got the shade Shameless which is a purple and its totally a dupe for heroine! The formula is so creamy and it just glides on so smoothly on the lips. They are non-drying and they have a pepperminty feeling on the lips which i usually like!

The packaging is standard, its not bad and the point of the balm is so soft and pointy but it does not break off easily.

The shameless shade is a cool toned bright purple that is totally wearable even for everyday wear. Its so easy to pull off.

I do find that it is not very long lasting and feathers but thats cause i haven't got a lipliner that matches this shade. Its a good 3 hour of wear then you might need to reapply after that. Because it is so creamy it can smudge around your mouth if you're not careful, so when you're drinking, drink from a straw.

I was super excited to hear about these and rushed off to buy three different colours, Audacious, Elusive and Striking. I have to say that they went on beautifully - easy to apply and leave an even colour. The main disappointments for me are that they feel too "balmy", and they don't really have a full matte coverage. The colours don't seem to last very long on my lips, however being that it is a crayon it is very easy to reapply. As far as cost goes, they're reasonably priced in comparison to many other lippys, and there is a huge range in colours to choose from.

I was expecting big things from these in comparison to other brands similar products, but this just sunk into the line s in lips and didn't give a full coverage.

I was lucky enough to be part of a training process with Revlon where they gifted me products and colors suited to me.

I received this gorgeous shocking pink Matte Balm and absolutely loved everything about it.

I love the convenient pen and the shape of the lip color.. It makes applying really bright bold colors a breeze without the need of a lip brush or lip pencil. The range is gorgeous there is literally a color for everyone.

It has a pleasant mint taste/tingle which gives the sensation/feeling of fresh breath and just a general wake up every time you apply.

The pigment is fantastic and one swipe is pretty opaque.. I find a couple of swipes and its bound to last.. You need to make sure however that you don't have residue of balm or anything on your lips before applying and also give yourself a decent amount of time before eating or drinking otherwise you will be reapplying more than you need to. I discovered this from trial and error. Now I make sure I allow at least half an hour for it to dry onto the lips before eating or drinking and it lasts around 4 hours before I need a touch up!

I cannot recommend these enough and will be buying more colors!

These lip balm lip stains are awesome the formula makes them so buttery and easy to apply. I love how the packaging looks like a big crayon. There are also so many colours to choose from which makes it great for every skin tone! They last hours on end even when going out to eat or just for a day out! I already recommend to all my friends because I just love them that much.

I got this in the light orange shade, and i really like it! It has a minty kind of scent (not really sure really) and it dries matte after a couple of minutes. Its a pretty colour and i do like it, though it works best when i mix it with my Australis Colour Inject in Lick the Icing to get a neon coral colour for something adventurous. I really like them :) Definately keen for some different colours
