I really enjoy these lip balms. Being a lip junkie I have tried many matte lipsticks and these I have found to be a very comfortable, non drying matte lipstick.
I have mine in the colour standout remarkable. Slightly metallic deep red. Well pigmented, Great for all skin tones.
They smell really minty and refreshing. Goes on very smoothly and lasts a good amount of hours.
A must have at a reasonable price from farmers.
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.
Tips: If you like bright colours but prefer a glossy finish compared to a matte finish, I would suggest still purchasing these and applying a clear gloss over top.
