Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain Review

I love this product, was nervous to use a lipstick with stains in them. But this one was so good I really like the balm in it, it keeps your lips moist and the colour last for ages. Definatelty with use again.

I am a huge fan of Revlon's colorburst range from the matte balms, to the lacquers, to the balm stains there is something for everyone. I have one of the balm stains in the colour 001 and I love it, I want to purchase more! They are super quick and easy too apply and last on my lips for most of the day as they stain them. They are still easy to remove though, they feel very moisturising and just look really lovely. The shade I have is a lovely pink and I love wearing it by itself or under a light pink lip gloss. The packaging is also very cute and matches the colour of the balm stain so its easier to find a shade that you want.

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.

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!

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 Revlon Colour Burst Stain! It is so easy to apply, whether you are wearing it casually or formally this lippy will do the job right. I use a lip liner first then add my lip stain to give my lips a more fuller look. I have converted lots of my friends to get on board too. This stuff lives in our handbags.

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 picked up one of these babies for half price from a big bucket sale in Auckland (in "bitten"), and it's so versatile! On initial application the balm feels moisturizing but this wears away just like with a regular lip balm. The colour however, hangs around! I find it to be buildable, and if I layer it up it's not uncommon to find colour still present even the next day! The shade I chose is very nice though and I like to just swipe some regular balm over the light tint stain. Very pretty! It also has a light minty scent which i find pleasant if a little odd for a product I thought of more as a lipstick. Now I want them all!

I got a few different shades of the colourburst balm last year and I am impressed with the colour pay off and how long the colours last on the lips. I've found some of them to be a little "minty" and give my lips a funny sensation which I'm not too fond of.

I do like how long they last and how easy they are to apply though, good for chucking on when I am in a hurry and want something a little glossier. I would been keen to try out the matte version of these as well as I assume those would also probably last for even longer.

Also, really great for ladies on a budget as you can pick them up really cheap and they are great quality!

I really liked these balms because they are very pigmented without drying your lips out. I found that they glide on really nicely and are really moisturizing, unlike some lippies that go on nice and smooth but dry out over the day.

Would recommend these for people with drier lips who find it hard to wear lipstick or matte shades.

I liked the minty taste/feeling that some of them have it makes me feel fresh, that probably sounds weird but its a nice feeling!
