Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

Lip stains are becoming very popular with many brands producing their own, Revlon has come out with their spin on them and they are a great success. I saw that one of my friends had one and I was interested in having a lipstick that would be hydrating, last all day, and have great colour. I also love matte lipsticks but find that they can be quite drying so I thought the matte balms are a great idea.

I decided to purchase my own and I got the colours 230 'Complex' which is a peachy nude, and I also got the colour 250 'Standout' which is a bright deep red. Two very different colours but both show up when applied to the lips and have great colour. These matte balms are definitely not for people who prefer natural sheer lipsticks. They are very bright and show up true to colour, I also love how the colour is the same as the packaging it makes it a lot easier to find the colour you want. They have a minty smell to them but it isn't too overpowering and as soon as you apply them to your lips they feel hydrated.

They also last a very long time, I find I don't have to re-apply them a lot throughout the day. They are also easy to apply as they have a smooth slightly creamy texture to them. I will definitely be purchasing more of these very soon.

I was really on the fence about purchasing these matt balm lipsticks as I tend to be disappointed with how they come off to easy or go absolutely EVERYWHERE when you are trying to put them on. However after hearing a few good things I decided to take the plunge and purchase two different colours. When I next put the lippy on it applied on great, it is so handy having it in a pencil formed stick, it made it much easier to apply. The colour (Coral) stained my lips perfectly did kept the bold colour that I was looking for and it also stayed on for as long as I needed! I really love how this product delivered on what was promised. The colour transferred onto my lips beautifully and stayed there throughout the day, it was easy to apply so I had to go back and get more! Now I have a range of colours from the Revlon range and receive many complements when wearing it and of often people will ask what kind of lippy it is and where I got it from. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good bold lip colour and is sick of having to apply lippy every 5 minutes!

I bought a few of these as my friend owned one of them and I really loved it. They are also really decently priced! I now own three different colours, including the one in the picture above and this is also my favourite. They are really hydrating and work just like a lip balm should, meaning you get the colour and the hydration in one easy product. They smell like menthol, which I really love because it feels fresh on your lips. The colour is actually also a lot more dramatic that you think it would be, meaning it works great as a lip stick replacement also.

I absolutely adore these matte balms! I have about 5 different colours and the colour pay off is beautiful! They moisturise your lips without drying (Like most Matte Balms do) and glide on really easily and nicely. The only one bad thing I would have to say is that they don't last as long as a regular lipstick on my lips so you do need to reapply every so often :)

I also love how cute he packaging is (The Crayon look) but it's not too big and still fits happily into my makeup bag!

Will definitely be repurchasing!

I am in love with this product! I was initially looking for an everyday lipstick to wear and when I came across these I was amazed. The first colour i bought was Elusive and it is just the perfect everyday pink that I wear almost everyday.What I love about these is that they have a matte finish but they dont dry your lips out, they are actually quite moisturising. They also leave a minty sensation on your lips which I love. I now also have the colour Sultry which is a darker mauvy pink which everyone seems to be loving. This colour is perfect for the cold season. Over all I will definitely be buying more colours.

A friend recommended me these, as well as the balm stains which I've yet to try. I picked up Striking, Standout and Unapologetic, and I'm crazy about all three. They are very pigmented (Standout and Unapologetic more than Striking) and ridiculously easy to apply because of the crayon format. This is excellent for me because I'm not super skilled with lipstick. They smell nice and they're balmy on the lips. They dry to a really matte finish which is a little different between them - Unapologetic probably comes up the creamiest, whereas Striking can be a bit streaky and flaky after a while. They wear for ages. I was thrilled with my MAC lipsticks but these wear better. Through snacks, drinks and even meals, I've found little need to reapply. They set and they stay. I'm mad about them and I will probably buy the rest of the set, as all of the colours look fantastic.

In love with these, I have a the colour sultry, which is the perfect nude for my skin tone and the color shameless which is a deeper purple colour.They do have a matte finish but it is not super drying, they also have a minty scent so it might not be for you if you're not into scented lippies. These pencil shaped lippies are so easy to use and I love that they don't need to be sharpened :)

I own 4 of these so far, and will probably get more in the future. The pencil shape makes them super easy to apply and the colours are very pigmented.

I've found the lasting power of these is really good, only fading slightly in the middle if ive been eating or drinking, and I have woken up in the morning with the colour still there if I have applied them at night.

These balms dont dry super matte, which I like because they actually feel like you're wearing lip balm and they dont dry out your lips like other mattes can. The only downside to this would be that they can transfer onto things but not too much.

When the bucket sale came to town this was one of the many products that I couldn't resist. I love the Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stains and thought if this was to compare in anyway I would absolutely love it. I bought the shade 205 Elusive which is a lovely pink shade that I am pleased I picked.

The packaging is the same as the balm stains and all the other balms that Revlon do. I think it is really practical. With this the packaging is the same color as the lip shade which I love as when you are digging in your bag you can find exactly what you are looking for. The product twists up from the bottom. I like that the packaging is matte as well to match the product.

The lip product has a delicious minty smell which I really really like. It smooths onto the lips beautifully. Some matte products are quite drying but this feels really comfortable on the lips. The product is fully opaque as well which is really nice. This has a nice lasting power, but not as good as others as it is not as drying so it doesn't get into the lips as much. On me it lasts at least half a day before I need to top up the middle.

I love the product overall and will pick up other colors if I see them on sale. I imagine a red shade would be awesome!

These are amazing and long lasting, the colour selection always leaves me in a panic because I cant buy all the ones I want at once and have to choose which ones to add to my collection. I cant get enough, so easy and creamy to use and perfect for in your hand bag.
