Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I got one of these in a set and have been giving it a go over summer for a bit of moisture. But I must admit it’s balm effect is short lived. It really doesn’t last long on the lips.

Very much feels moisturising and creamy on the lips upon application.. like it should, but the effect is not long lasting and so I don’t think it can really claim to be that nourishing as it just wears off.

Perhaps if it stuck around a little longer I would repurchase but sadly I probably won’t. Which is such a shame as the colour is pretty, it tastes ok - not waxy and it does feel nice on the lips while it’s there so not all bad.

I do love the easy way this glides on. But there is no definition on the lips with such a wide shaped crayon. It certainly has a balmy feel. I brought a trio pack. And while I love 225 shade in pink. The red shade absolutely stained my lips for hours and I didn't like the look. Probably won't buy again.

First up let me tell you how hard it was to pick a shade to buy while I was in the store. All the shades looked amazing, though some would not suit me and some were out of stock I still had a tough time picking one to buy & try in the end I went with 'Showy'

Showy is a gorgeous hot pink but still very wearable. The product applies nice and creamy and the colour is very pigmented. I also love the minty smell and tinglyness.

I have quite dry lips so I did find the balm to dry out my lips and start to feel weird & I found with eating and drinking it came off quite easily.

The packaging is the same as the rest of Revlon's Colourburst range a twist up crayon which is the best as no one likes to sharpen lip products to get that nice point for application.

Overall as I haven't tried many other lip products I am keen to buy a few other colours as I have heard that some colours differ in consistency/colour pay off etc.

I was expecting big things from these in comparison to other brands similar products, but this just sunk into the line s in lips and didn't give a full coverage.

Thought this product smelt funny and didn't like the texture on my lips. It felt like it was apply lipbaalm with a crayon. Not for me, but do love all the bright colours it comes in

I tried this product out simply because a friend was wearing it and it looked great on her. It seemed to dry my lips out alot and made them peel :( Even tho this product wasn't for me it comes in fab colours!

The application process i found was difficult, because i naturally have very dry lips, i found it didn't just glide on, it actually highlighted the cracks in my lips. In saying this not alot of the product is required to cover your lips.

It comes in a great pencil-like package with a secure slide on lid, which i think is handy for carrying in your handbag.

Personally i wouldn't buy this product again, simply because it dried my lips out more.
