Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I really like the matte balm crayon I have in shade 220 Showy Flamboyante. The colour is a beautiful light and bright pink. The durability of wear of this product is pretty good. Because it is a matte balm the wear is great and I am not reapplying it as much as glossy finish alternatives. I love the texture and consistency of this crayon. It glides on amazingly easily and feels nice on but I find by the end of the day my lips are a bit dry but I find this will all of my matte lip products this one is not the most drying though. These are amazingly good for the reasonable price and have such a good colour range available I really recommend these.

I was ever so excited for the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms to launch in New Zealand as I am a big fan of bright, bold colours with a matte finish. This colour range has something for everyone, from a deep purple to a neon coral. My personal favourite and most worn colour is 'Showy,' a bright pink.

The name and packaging of the product turn these colours from a standard lipstick to a chubby crayon with the word 'balm' suggesting sheer, moisturizing colour. However on the lips these really could be a standard (but still beautiful) lip colour as the application is surprisingly precise and the colours are bold and long-lasting.

The matte formula is great for those with oily skin or anyone who prefers a matte finish to their look. The colour doesn't change during the day and they are pretty hard to budge. I don't struggle with dry lips and only experienced dryness after wearing the matte balm three days in a row. The colour can be reapplied once during the day, however a third application looks thick and gunky so I did have to remove the lip colour and then start fresh. Overall the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms are a great product for anyone who doesn't suffer from dry lips and is looking for a pop of colour.

I have recently purchased many of these matte balms, and they are definitely some of my favourite lip products. These stay on for 3-4 hours and moisturise and hydrate my lips. They come in various colours and add a pop of colour to your lips. I find this product very easy to work with and would definitely repurchase.

I love this product. I haven't always been comfortable applying and wearing lipstick and this is a great alternative. This is long wearing and affordable. There's so many colours. I now own three and will continue to buy this product.

A friend of mine gave me a pink one of these because she already has one. Oh my life, these are amazing! The smell is a fresh mint smell, the colour itself is so pigmented. Once the lipstick has worn off there's a slight tint left on your lips, its great. The lipstick isn't drying, it lastes a good few hours on your lips. I probably will buy more of these, they have a good colour selection too. The lipstick is a bit pricey, but for under $30 its great!

I have this in the shade unapoligetic and I am in love. I have been looking for the perfect red/fuchsia/pink lip colour that's matte and this is perfect. They last all day and are really creamy. I didn't expect it to go on so smooth as it's matte but i was pleasantly surprised. The packaging is cute and easy to use as you never need to sharpen it. There are only a few things I don't like about it: once you've used it for a while it tends it go flat at the top which makes it hard to get a crisp line. And the smell, I really don't like peppermint, but the smell doesn't last that long (thank god)

I received one of these babies in a goodiebox. I am so glad I did as this isn't the sort of thing I would pick out for myself but I LOOOOVE it!

I cant remember the shade(I dont have it handy) but omg the colour payoff is amazing and it stays put all day(or night) despite eating and drinking with it on.

This didnt dry out my lips at all, in fact I find it very hydrating and my lips continue to look smooth the entire time Im wearing it.

If you are on the fence about purchasing it, dont be, it is an outstanding product

I have several Revlon Kissable Balm Stains, so when they bought out the Matte Balms I knew it wouldn't be long before they worked their way into my collection. I have 'Sultry', a deep pinky nude which is almost my-lips-but-better, and 'Elusive', a medium, warm pink. They're both incredibly wearable colours and now live in my handbag as I pretty much wear one of them every day at work. Despite being a 'balm' as well these are also quite opague and you only need a quick swipe to get a nice colour depth.

There's a few differences between the Matte Balms and the Kissable Balm Stains, the most obvious being the smooth matte finish. Unlike a lot of matte lipsticks I have, these aren't incredibly drying thanks to the moisturising balm effect. I have quite dry lips and work in an area with heaps of air conditioning though so still prefer to apply a seperate lip balm to keep up the moisture as I did find if my lips dried out then the lighter shade (elusive) did crack in my lips. The colour lasted a decent amount of time, lasting through drinks but you'd need to reapply after eating.

Another difference was I found these didn't have the obvious minty fragrance, taste or tingle of the balm stains.

I love crayon-format lip colours for ease of use and the Matte Balms are no exception. The colour is so easy to apply and I like how the plastic package is the same colour as the balm so you can distinguish between them, especially when you end up with a few!

Overall a really great lip product that I'd happily repurchase.

I absolutely love this product, i had seen so many reviews on it so i went out and finally bought it yesterday.and already, i am so impressed. It really moisturises my lips like a lip balm, and the colour stayed on for so long. :-D i am in love with matte liptstick i just really feel like it makes the lips look fuller? if you know what i mean. i was so lucky i got the last one of the colour i wanted which was sultry! it is so natural looking and i love it!

One perk of having a partner who travels for work all the time is that he was nice enough to bring me back a goodie bag from target where these are only about $6 US... I have Striking and I've done a good three days worth of wearing it now and must say I'm impressed! Same minty taste as the original range, application is a breeze, it stays on fantastically and even reapplication goes smoothly considering some of the history I have had with Mattes. 'Striking' is just that... striking! Love the colour and the orange hue that comes through with it. Definitely intend to continue adding to my collection next time he's in the states
