Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

This lip crayon completely surprised me, I was looking for a bright pink lipstick and tested this in a drugstore, only to find that not only was it super soft and hydrating, but also the colour was so pigmented and strong! I have to admit, I didn't really have room in my budget that week, but I couldn't stop thinking about it so I had to buy it! First of all, the application is surprisingly easy despite the broad tip, although I can imagine as you use it more you may have to be a bit more careful, or use a lip liner. Secondly, the colour is very matte, which I love, and very long-lasting, as it claims to be. Even when it does begin to fade, it fades quite naturally so that it doesn't look like you haven't reapplied. You also don't need to do too many coats to get a nice, strong colour, so in terms of price its well worth the cost. Since its a balm, its also very hydrating and doesn't dry out your lips. Everything about this product is a hit for me, and I absolutely recommend it to everyone, especially if you have trouble applying traditional lipsticks and want a less harsh product for your lips.

I have shameless and it's long lasting and pigmented and a great product and I would buy it in a more neutral shade but the only issue is the damn smell. It smells horrible and it's the one thing I don't like about 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!

I got the darkest plum colour they had and I absolutely loved it. Great color, coverage and texture. Can be hard to get a clean line as the product starts to wear down which can be a pain but I loved the colour so much I put up with it. When mine runs out I'll definitely be replacing it!

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 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

It has to be said straight up I like a matte lip. These are great. The colours are great with good pigmentation. I like the formula. The product applies smoothly and wears well. This will last through a coffee without having to re-apply. You get a Matte finish that isn't chalky or dry. This doesn't make your lips dry and flaky. These are awesome to throw into your handbag. Personally I quite like the mint scent but it may not be for everyone.

I have one of these in the shade 250 ‘Standout’. It’s a perfect blue-based bright red, and I think it would suit basically anyone.

I love the packaging; the tube itself has a matte finish and I love these crayon-type lip products anyway. The lid fits securely, and the tube is easy to wind up and down.

The actual product is very pigmented. One swipe is basically fully opaque, and so this is very easy to apply. I agree entirely with the name as a description: although it’s not in any way glossy, this glides on super smoothly, just like a balm. It definitely looks velvety as opposed to full-on dry matte, which I really like.

This doesn’t dry out my lips, which is great. I don’t find it particularly moisturising, so I do often apply a bit of lip balm before, but it doesn’t accentuate dryness too badly, and it is very comfortable to wear throughout the day.

In terms of lasting power, this is pretty good. I do have to reapply after eating a meal, but it stands up to normal wear well, and I can get a good few hours without having to worry about it.

For such a bright/bold colour, I really like that I don’t have to use a lip liner, as it doesn’t really feather or ‘travel’ off my lips.

My only slight gripe with this is that (as with any crayon-shaped lippie), the tip wears down eventually, and so it’s a bit harder to apply precisely. However, this is a small thing in light of the fact that it’s really an amazing lip product, and I’m willing to live with it because of that.

Overall: I love this, and I’m definitely keen to pick up another one or two different shades at some point.

The packaging of Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms are very similar to that of Revlon Colorburst Balm Stains. They are in a twist up tube format that look like chubby crayons which we all love as they are so easy to carry around, to use and they don't need sharpening. Like Revlon Balm Stains, this Revlon Matte Balm has minty scent and taste which I find soothing on lips. I have the shade Standout which is like a mixture of red and pink color. It isn't bright red, but a lighter shade of red with pink color added to it. I love how this balm easily glides on lips without tugging or dragging. It is smoother to apply as compared to many other matte lipsticks I have tried in the past. It is super pigmented and one swipe is enough. The color you see on the stick is what you will get on the lips which is super nice. As far as longevity is concerned, it lasts 4 hours on lips. But at least it fades evenly on lips and I find reapplying very easy because of the balm's texture. All in all, its a matte balm with lovely shades to choose from, wonderful texture and great quality. This is nice to try!

'Sultry' caught my eye as soon as I saw it. As soon as it went on display I tried it on and got so many compliments on how the colour suited me! So I naturally just HAD to buy it!

The product comes in a long tube, sort of like a jumbo pencil so it is so easy to apply. When you first put it on, your lips tingle as there is a pepperminty smell and taste to it which I love! I easy get about 3 hours of wear out of it, provided I dont eat anything.

The only downside is that if you have dry lips, the formula might stick to it and make it appear even drier, so always exfoliate your lips before you wear the lippy! A friend (ex Revlon counter manager) always wears makes sure she puts on eight hour lip cream before she wears it just to prime her lips and swears by it!

I would definitely repurchase the Colorburst Matte Balms, I just wish they came in more shades! Such an easy and comfortable lippy to wear so would definitely recommend to everyone!
