Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain Review

I have three of these in various shades and love them. These are my go to lip product if I am going out and don't want to have to worry about my lip colour coming off if I know I am going to have limited opportunity to reapply it. I love how nice these feel on and they are super easy to apply. My only groan is that once the sharp tip has worn off they can be hard to get precise lines with but you could always sharpen it with a little knife if you needed to. The packaging is nice and easy to use with a twist up action to get the product out of the tube. There is a hint of peppermint in the balm when you first apply it but it is not at all overpowering and I find it refreshing and nice.

I have a couple of these in different finishes, the main reason I brought them was I was wondering around a pharmacy waiting and spotted the lacquer lip crayon first with its shiny coat, well it drew me in and I walked away with 2 of them in my hands to purchase.

I'm normally a matte long lasting lipstick kind of girl as I'm lazy and putting on these types sees me through the day without touch ups but the attraction to these balm stains was strong.

Matte: Sultry (dark pinky purple) Lacquer/gloss: Provocateur (bright red)

Both of these offer a non dragging and non drying formula wrapped up in a butter smooth application crayon in a twist up and down capped crayon. The design of these are that the colour of the product inside is reflected in the colour of the outer packaging, even so much that the lacquer colour has a shiny effect to the barrel, where the matte colour has a muted matte finish to it. Both of the formulas were quite long lasting, the matte more so than the glossy red which seemed to want to slide off of my lips after eating and drinking which is normal of this type of finish. The matte stuck around a little after eating but soon wore away, both needed at least 2 tops ups during a 9-10 hours work day to see me all the way through, but these lip crayons are cute enough to slip into your bag, or put on your desk to top up with.

These balms act like a lipstick and lip balm had a beautiful love child together with a sprinkle of staying power thrown in for good luck. They hydrate your lips to a point, it isn't a complete substitute for a balm but it doesn't dry out your lips and has a very faint mint smell to it that wore off once applied that makes you think of regular lip balms.

I only have 2 of these at the moment but they do catch my eye as soon as I walk into Farmers or the pharmacy so no doubt the temptation to resist buying more will be short lived.

These are a really good very easy product to use. The retractable stick protects, and allows you to extend if need be. The product itself is soft and glides on effortlessly, and is very moisturising. It leaves your lips feeling soft for hours. The bright red shade is slightly glossy so won't stay on all day but has good staying power all the same so maybe another top up on a night out and you will be sweet! No rings left round your face after a drink either!

I love the look of these and the amount of product you get. I have the lightest and the true pink shade, the light has a nice shimmery effect and the pink is more a full colour. I got them online, i think I paid around $12 for both so was such a bargin. They go on smooth, dont flake on me at all and arnt sticky.

These are one of my favourite lip products, I now own several different colours. Firstly, I really like the crayon-style applicator which made it really easy to apply, great for when you want a quick touch up. The stain applied nice and even with a slight balmy feel to it, so you get a little bit of moisture although not to the extent of a normal lip balm.

In terms of longevity, I would still touch up after eating and drinking to keep the colour looking fresh. It comes with a lot of product and you only need to apply it lightly so this is great value for money.

I'm also a fan of the colour-coded packaging. Each balm stain has a coloured plastic tube which matches the colour of the balm inside, making it easy to identify between them when you have a few like myself!

These are a great purchase for anyone who likes experimenting with colours, and wants something long-lasting for day or night which isn't as heavy as a lipstick.

I have three shades,they apply smoothly and feel hydrating on the lips.They stain the lips too which I suppose they are meant to.They last all day for me, but two of the shades oxidise and change colour totally different from the tube.

This is one of those beauty purchases on a whim that was on a really good sale. I bought a light pink/peach type colour - really summery and I really love this colour.

The colour is quite intense, but not overpowering. I love the lip crayon application - it is easy to use and makes it perfect for a more casual makeup look. The balm stain has a strange (but not bad) minty taste and scent; unexpected but wakes up your lips and is somewhat refreshing. It has a decent staying power; nothing that lasts all day for me but for a few hours anyway. This is not so much of a hindrance for me as the packaging makes it really easy to reapply anywhere.

I would buy one of these again, but probably not at full price (as there are a lot of options for that price).

I have this as well as the matte ones and I think this is one of the better balm stains I've tried. It's an opaque, dull pink and gives my lips a hint of color which looks really natural. I love these crayon style designs which you turn up because application is so easy and precise and you don't have to sharpen them. Its texture is actually quite balmy and feels smooth when applied. It's not drying and but I do have to reapply every so often. The color gets rubbed off quite easily and transfers when I drink or eat, due to its balm consistency. I don't like the smell as it's quite artificial and not scented. Overall a cute purchase and I carry it around in my bag for a natural hint of color.

I have three of these, two matte and one gloss. I love the range of colours they have and the fact that you can get them in matte/gloss.

I love that the matte ones are not drying. They apply smoothly and are not uncomfortable to wear, same with the gloss ones. They also have great pigmentation and last a while.

I know not everyone does but I like the peppermint scent of them. The crayon shape tip is cool and it makes it easy to apply as well as being able to twist the bottom to get more product.

I have two shades of the Balm Stains: Lovesick and Romantic. Lovesick is a nice wearable pink shade and Romantic is an orangey-red. I really like them both.

These balm stains are not as pigmented and has a glossy finish but it's good for every day casual makeup look. They're pigmented enough but they're not as long lasting as compared to the Revlon matte balms.

What I like most about the balm stains are the minty scent. It feels good on the lips and it's not drying.
