Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I have 2 of the Revlon Matte Balms: 240 - Striking Spectacular & 250 - Standout Remarquable. I love the creamy texture of these. I gave up wearing regular lipstick in favour of these balms. The matte texture is so creamy and delicious. My lips feel moisturised when I wear them and they also have great staying power. I have been completely converted by lip crayons!

I have tried the shade 'Unapologetic'. It feels slightly dry but not enough to be uncomfortable. Which is ok, because it's matte and the colour is unbelievably bold and beautiful. It stays on for a few hours and fades evenly but does transfer easily so avoid eating and drinking if you want the bold colour to stay. I loved using the twisting pen (so no bother to reapply) and received tons of compliments. So definitely unapologetic that I tried this!

Who cant resist a gorgeous matte lip right? I picked up this in the shade 240 Striking Spectaculaire. I typically tend to buy Revlon products because its a brand I trust. I was so excited to be buying one of their new products out at the time.

I love how this is a chubby stick compared to your average packaging. The smell typically put me off a wee bit because it smells like mint which I don't typically like anymore. I must say WOW oh WOW the colour is so pigmented!! I fell in love with how pigmented it is. Well worth $20. Looks like this product would last for ages too. Even if you used it on a daily basis. You get so much product in this chubby sick. You can wind it up and get more if need be. A little goes a very long way!

This lasts for hours on end on my lips. All day colour. May need to reapply after eating and drinking due to it being quite transferable. The formula is so creamy and hydrating. I'm so impressed. It is matte but not as matte as I would typically like it. Its still good though.

I have purchased a few other shades of this lately. Love the finish of these are they are so easy and simple to apply.

I absolutely loved this product ! I loved it so much I ended up buying three more of the matte colours. I love the wide range of colours they have, especially their purple ! I'd be looking for the exact shade of purple and it was the only brand that had it ! Also I love the hint of peppermint that each lippy has, it gives an amazing tingly feeling on top of the smooth creamy feeling when applying it

I really enjoyed using this product and loved the particular colour I bought! I had been trying to find lipstick where the colour would stay put and not rub off easily but after buying many 24hour long lasting lipsticks I gave up as none of them really worked. I chose this product because it had a matt finish but was still nourishing. I find it lasts a suitable amount of time before needing to reapply and I loved the colours available. Most importantly for me it was in my budget!

These lip balms have the perfect shape to be able to apply it. It's so easy. It also has a rather nice taste, which is not something I look for in a balm but it is an added bonus. I really love the colours you can get in this brand. I have a nice light pink that I wear on a daily basis. It is my favourite as it is quite subtle and I find it provides the perfect amount of colour. You really can't go wrong with Revlon.

Omg this is my favorite matte lipstick. Love all the colors and the texture. It's amazing. Also it's to easy to use because it has a pencil form.

I have an orangy-red Colorburst. Having the matte is great and it's got a real burst of colour (something that can be hard to find or only happens with layers and layers of lipstick). However it does smudge a little and isn't that great a balm in my opinion.

I've been putting off this review for so long because I wanted to get another shade! My first purchase was in the shade "205 Elusive" which is like a Barbie pink, but more muted. The second shade I have is in "225 Sultry" - a sort of maroony-plum?

First off, the scent is peppermint, and if you're very sensitive to smell, it does linger a little. I'm not fussed, so it's never been a problem for me. Secondly, it is so moisturising! When applying it on your lips it truly feels like a lipbalm and even when rubbing your lips together. Which comes to my third point, although it feels like a lipbalm, the pigmentation and appearance of it is very much like a matte lipstick.

The longevity is normal in comparison to other matte lipsticks, transfers slightly, and does fade when eating anything oily. But the good thing about reapplication is that it's the same as when you first put it on aka it doesn't appear patchy or like you've obviously reapplied. Brownie points to you, Revlon!

All in all, I highly recommend this range especially for girls with dry lips who need that extra moisture/stray away from dehydrating liquid lipsticks.

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.
