Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain Review

Both of these stains promise high colour intensity with a balm like feel and they both deliver on this 100% I love the crayon packaging of these stains, the lids never go missing in my handbag like lots of lipsticks do! Application is easy and fluid and you never need to sharpen them. Both have a light minty taste/smell but not enough to make your lips tingly with menthol. Perfect.

The Honey balm is my go-to everyday colour. I will wear this instead of chapstick if I can't find one as it is that moisturising. It is a nude pink that matches my natural lip colour perfectly. The finish is a low level gloss (more like a chapstick kind of sheen), no glitter or shine making them perfect for day time or the office. I have almost finished my first and will absolutely be buying this one again. Plus some more colours probably.

The 210 Unapologetic is my favourite BOLD statement lip look. This is a vibrant, bright pink (true pink, not orangey and not berry toned, PINK) and MATTE. It feels balmy still which is amazing for matte products and never feels drying. BUT it can look dry very easily. Having well prepared lips with no flaking is crucial. I often will layer this stain with a chapstick over the top to stop it looking dry which makes it less matte but oh well.

The staying power of both of these stains is amazing. I can apply and have hot cup of tea straight after and it doesn't budge. No marks on the cup. Wow.I'll reapply maybe once in a day.

I absolutely love these! I can look quite washed out without a bit of colour, yet I don't really have the time or the inclination to touch up multiple times throughout the day. These are perfect for me in that I can swipe it on lightly for a hint of colour or put a coat on, blot and reapply for a bold lip that lasts ages!

Great colours to experiment with if your not one wear bold colours as they are a reasonable price. You can quite often pick up 2 for about $30. Our Unichem where I live are constantly having specials with revlon and you can bring in your old revlon and get a good discount off a new revlon product. These balms stains do what they say they stain your lips which is handy when you don't want to constantly be reapplying lipstick and it doesn't look too tacky either. Very moisturising and have a hint of peppermint so can tingle a little but not overwhelming.

I love these balm stains! The colour payoff is great. I have quite a few of these and they're all great. Very balmy, and stops my lips from becoming dry. I find that they do stain your lips after it settles in. They glide on super easily and I use these daily since most lipsticks dry out my lips. Plus they're affordable too.

I stumbled on this when I couldn't afford to replace a Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Balm. This is now my go to in preference to the Clinique - at half the price for the same performance why wouldn't it be? The product is a crayon format, that goes on glossy but not sticky and stays on for ages, especially the darker colours. I love Smitten as one of the few red lip colours that stay relatively true on me not going pink. Honey which is a pinky neutral doesn't last quite as well but gives a beautiful slick of colour and moisturises well. They have a hint of mint or cinnamon (I can never decide which) to act as a plumper I presume, but the scent fades quickly and is not unpleasant. The only downside is that like many crayon style products the lids do not stay on all that well so you have to be a bit careful slinging it into your bag

I love the colours this comes in, they are nice and bold. I really like the crayon type style, it makes application super easy. It goes on smooth but I do have to exfoliate my lips before using, because if you have any cracks or old skin it clings to it and looks terrible. It feels great on my lips, nice and creamy. As much as I love the colour I was disappointed as I don't get a stain and have to touch it up several times, even more if I eat or drink anything, which I found to be disappointing considering the whole point of buying it was so you wouldn't have to touch it up during the day. I like it but I could probably get the same result with a good old lipstick.

absolutely adored this product. I have the the dark pink one and i used it regularly and it never failed to give me the "lip stain" look. Only thing is, after a while it would get greasy on the lips.

I love Revlon's balm stain range - they're so easy to apply, feel wonderful on your lips, and give a light pop of colour that can be layered to gain a bolder look if desired.

For such a moisture rich lip product they have pretty good staying power, especially if given 15 minutes to settle on your lips before any food or drink, but do be prepared to reapply fairly regularly if you're after a constant colour.

I love these hand lip crayons. Bery easy to apply and stays on a reasonable time. I just enjoy the ease of product and the fun colours.
