Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

so first off i'd like to say that this balm for me personally didn't have a lot of colour pay off, but thats okay because i tend to use these when im not wanting a full coverage lipstick. what i do love about these is the peppermint!! what some people don't realise is that its to help plump your lips! such a great idea! plus it helps with stuffy noses in winter because the scent lasts a fair while. i own a muted baby pink with a shimmer and i love it on its own or over another light pink lipstick.

theyre easy to use and travel friendly, and if you get from Postie Plus theyre relatively cheap too!

I brought a whole bunch of these from Nzsale- Im a huge revlon fan. Revlon are strong with their "fruitY/punchy"" colours , and these balms are no exception. I found that i didn't need to exfoliate my lips before use- which is something that drives me nuts about using a matte lipstick. I love that you can build up the colour with these- it can go from beach to dinner out easily. They are great size to fit into your handbag and the crayon like appearence means they are easy to find.

This lipcolour is shaped like a crayon which makes it super easy to apply - you just draw it on! It has a lovely creamy texture which dries to a lightweight matte coverage. Afterwards my lips felt super soft! The pigmentation is very intense, just one sheer layer is enough for a colour that stands out and lasts. This lipstick was given to me by a friend so the colour isn't something I'd normally wear ('Fierce Redoubtable' - a sort of brick colour), but I do feel fierce when I wear it :)

I've never been much of a fan of matte lipsticks. At 47, I thought I was too old for that look. Happily, this product has changed my mind. Gone is the drying formula, in it's place is this feather-light, long wearing lip balm that really does stay put. Once it's on, you don't really feel it (unlike other matt lipsticks I'd tried) and the crayon-like design makes even the brightest colours easy to apply without getting nervous. I have one colour now but would love to expand and get a couple of different ones in the same range.

I picked this up from local life pharmacy. I instantly get attracted to make up stands. I can’t help myself but start looking at all the make up . I like that Revlon is a brand that can be easily sourced.

I love lipsticks and I like trying different formulas . I wanted to try this out because I was interested in the texture. Typically the packaging comes in a chubby stick . I got the shade Sultry a pink matte nude tone . I love my pinky nudes for every day wear.

Application it goes on nicely . I like that this formula is bright in colour . It did transfer with eating and drinking . I found it easy to top up whenever I needed to . Did get a good four hours wear .

Overall I like the colour range . I think price wise it’s pricey . Could be cheaper for a drugstore brand . I think $10 is fair price point. I can’t see myself repurchasing this as there are cheaper alternatives.

I quite like the format of lip crayons because the chubby stick packaging gives a sense of nostalgia for me. It's also handy that it twists up without needing to be sharpened. The balm applies smoothly and is quite moisturising, which is the benefit of lip crayons over liquid lipsticks, but it wasn't as velvety matte as I'd like. I think they had sacrificed some of the matteness to make it more comfortable, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for. It is affordably priced but I prefer other cheaper alternatives that have a very similar formula if not better.

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.

This is an amazing product. It comes in a nice sturdy packaging so good to carry in your makeup bag or handbag.

It’s a cross between a velvet balm and lipstick, so it doesn’t dry my lips out. I have three colours in this range and all of them are great and very pigmented.

You can build the colour up and each layer gives you a great look.
