Great product but watch out for the bright shades

These lip crayons are awesome. There's a huge range of colours, they're a smooth and creamy formula, and they smell like peppermint! This seemed weird at first to me but the mint is an ingredient meant to make your lips tingle and appear fuller. I have 3 shades, 230 (a nude) 245 (a bright orange) and 225 (a deep burgundy). while the nude and burgundy are excellent I find the bright orange clings to any slightly dry patches on my lips. Avoid the bright shades in these, but definitely pick up some of the more toned down colours as the quality is excellent.

Tips: make sure your lips are in tip top shape if using one of the bright shades. Any dry patches will be very noticeable!

Must-have

These are great for every day use and the perfect must-have to have handy in your make up bag.

The colour pigmentation is great and their staying power is good too.

They're easy to apply and the formula is moisturising on your lips with a fresh minty smell.

The colours available are lovely and are perfect for nourishing and giving lips a pop of colour.

Great colour though not really a balm.

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.

Tips: Use it for the colour. The matte finish makes it worth it.

Balm Review

I bought a set of these balms, they don’t really last long but they do work so good as a cream blush!! I guess if you are just doing makeup looks at home for pictures they’re good to use otherwise not the best.

But they do work as blush and eyeshadow!

Tips: Use a few dots where you would put your blush and blend!!

I'm developing an addiction.

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.

Revlon Matte Balms

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.

Tips: Exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub before wearing any matte shades!

Long-lasting and bold colours

I bought two of these recently in the shades 220 Showy which is a cool toned pink/coral, and 210 Unapologetic which is a cool toned brighter pink. I like the pencil/stick format, very easy to apply, although I wonder if it will be harder to ensure a crisp cupid's bow once they've worn down a bit. The tubes are matte too, which is a nice touch. They smell strongly of peppermint which I disliked because it's something that can be quite drying, and the fragrance is unnecessary to add. Both colours lasted well on my lips, through a morning of coffee drinking and snacks, only needing a reapplication after lunch. They are quite bold colours, both both are very wearable - I wore them to work and received compliments, especially on Unapologetic. The two cost me $44 at Farmers which I think is a reasonable price for a good quality product, and if you want them cheaper they often have sales.

Tips: Apply lip balm when you start putting your make up on, so that when time comes to finish off with your matte balm then your lips will be nicely moisturised.

Comfortable Matte..

I really enjoy these lip balms. Being a lip junkie I have tried many matte lipsticks and these I have found to be a very comfortable, non drying matte lipstick.

I have mine in the colour standout remarkable. Slightly metallic deep red. Well pigmented, Great for all skin tones.

They smell really minty and refreshing. Goes on very smoothly and lasts a good amount of hours.

A must have at a reasonable price from farmers.

Revlon Colourburst Balms - Showy

I was given a Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade Showy as a gift and I am really pleased that I was able to give this (fairly) new range from Revlon a go.

The Colourburst range look like large crayons that are easy to apply to your lips. I really like the colour that I was given - Showy. It is a nice pink shade that is a good every day lip colour. The Balm is very moisturising on my lips and has average staying power of about 2-4 hours, depending on if you are eating or drinking etc.

The Matte range is very pigmented and the crayon-type applicator means it is very easy to apply. I like my Colourburst Matte Balm and want to try more colours in the range!
