Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I love the smell the fresh minty scent is so yummy . i found these very creamy an matte as was said to be it does transfer on to food glasses etc really easily so need to reapply often. the packaging is handy . the shades available are pretty an playful. im not sure if these are a lip balm an lipstick or if its just a balm in general . i really like these an think there great for little sisters an cousins

The matt balms are my favourite and I think they are much better than the original balm stains.

I have the shades 225 - Sultry and 240 Striking and I like them both. 225 Sultry is a great nude or your-lips-but-better shade. I use it all the time and it's long lasting on my lips. I sometimes use it under lipstick but it's also great by itself.

I also love the minty smell of the balms. It's an added bonus.

I have the shade 250 which is a lovely deep red. Its really vivid and bright. I love the matt colour, although I feel like after the initial shine has worn off it can make my lips feel dry. It lasts really well and by applying normal lip gloss on thoughout the day you can revive it.

I picked up Elusive from Life Pharmacy where they retail for $21. I personally don't like chubby sticks but that colourful display was hard to ignore. Would I repurchase? Most likely not. I can make do with a cheaper option with a similar finish.

I chose Elusive because I was drawn to the colour of the packaging, a muted rose pink. Unfortunately the colour is not true to pan and in this case it wasn't necessarily a bad thing because I was still drawn to the colour and I found out why below.

If you own MAC Please Me (matte) which happens to be a favourite you could possibly skip Elusive because they're a good dupe for eachother. If you're part of the chocolate club Please Me and Elusive don't appear as "light". In contrast to my skin tone it comes across as more of a neutral rose berry. The only key difference is Elusive has more of a semi creamy matte finish similar to Colourpop's "matte" Lippie Sticks.

I can wear this product without blotting too much and it stays in place for perhaps 3 hours before fading. I'm impressed because it feels lovely on the lips without drying so I don't really need to do damage control later. It's a product I would recommend to others if they need it straightaway.

Mine is 260 Passionate, a beautiful fuschia that’s more pink than purplish. The crayon glides very easily. The matte balm lasted unbelievably long: today I put it on around 8.30am, it still looked good after a coffee, a muffin, and lunch, I didn’t need to re-apply it. At 5pm my lips still have decent colour on it, I only had to pressed my lips together to spread the colour a bit more the middle bits seemed to have disappeared a bit. The effect was like a stain.

I don’t think it’s nourishing nor moisturising, admittedly it doesn’t dry my lips. I’m expecting a much more moisturising effect from a “balm”. Apart from that, I would repurchase another colour.

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.

Is there anything cuter than a crayon lipstick? It could teeter on the edge of cutesy, but Revlon have created a crayon that manages to be adorable, whilst still being sophisticated. Yes, I do like the packaging.

I own one of these in the shade 'Sultry', and the colour is stunning on my skin tone. Every time I wear it I receive a compliment, and who doesn't like that?

But do I like the product, apart from the packaging, and the colour? Yes, mostly. The balm goes on so smoothly, and the crayon makes it really easy to define and fill your lips. It glides on, feels moisturising, and the colour payoff is intense. It also has this really yummy minty smell - it doesn't hang around, but it does make for a delicious application experience.

Stickability? It has it. It's often still on my lips after a few hours, however for some reason I end up with the lipstick sticking around the outer rims of my lips (up until about .5cm in) and the the inner part of my lips becomes bare very quickly, (and it happens whether I'm eating/drinking or not at all), and I end up with an unfortunate two tone effect. This may not happen for everyone, this could be a Kellie-quirk. But it's enough for me to stop giving it top marks, as I don't generally have the time to touch up my lipstick every hour, which is why I prefer either a lipstick that fades evenly, or one of those amazing new lipsticks that you need makeup remover in order to get it off your lips.

It's that one little thing that stops this being a lipstick that I reach for on a daily basis. I tend to use it now only when I'm off for a quick client appointment. Still, I'd recommend this matte balm, because it really is rather fabulous.

I got this in the shade Elusive as part of my Xmas present thos year and I'm absolutely obsessed with it! Id been lusting over these in Farmers for ages now and I'm just so in love. The color is soft yet vibrant, the matte finish looks classy and satin without appearing dry or too dull, and most of all it feels so smooth and soft to wear. I love the concept of crayons, they're so easy to use and are super comfy to hold. The staying power is great although I have tried my best to avoid eating and drinking when wearing this. Overall an awesome matte lippy
