Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

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

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!
