Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

This is an amazing product. It comes in a nice sturdy packaging so good to carry in your makeup bag or handbag.

It’s a cross between a velvet balm and lipstick, so it doesn’t dry my lips out. I have three colours in this range and all of them are great and very pigmented.

You can build the colour up and each layer gives you a great look.

I got the darkest plum colour they had and I absolutely loved it. Great color, coverage and texture. Can be hard to get a clean line as the product starts to wear down which can be a pain but I loved the colour so much I put up with it. When mine runs out I'll definitely be replacing it!

I am loving these for everyday wear. I have now purchased three of the colours (Standout, Sultry and Shameless) and I've been wearing them almost every day both for work and partying. The matte finish is the biggest drawcard for me as I'm not a fan of shiny lips and I love the fact that it's a balm and doesn't have that sticky, drying texture that a lot of matte lipsticks can have. The staying power is better than I expected for a balm and I tend to only need a serious touch up after a meal. Another added bonus is the subtle minty flavour. Of all the colours I have bought, I seem to be getting the most mileage out of Standout right now. It's an excellent shade of bright red. I'd love to see them add more dark colours to the range.

I have recently purchased many of these matte balms, and they are definitely some of my favourite lip products. These stay on for 3-4 hours and moisturise and hydrate my lips. They come in various colours and add a pop of colour to your lips. I find this product very easy to work with and would definitely repurchase.

I have always been a big fan of Revlon kissable balm stain and I'm also in love with this line. This is a must-try if you want to have smooth yet matte lips.

The size of the packaging is pretty much the same with the older line (kissable balm stain) but guess what, it's in matte too, so cute and easy to distinguish when you own different shades.

The price is very affordable, I bought mine off ebay for 15$ incl. shipping but you can buy from Farmers when they are on sale for about 18$. And of course, it lasts for ages.

I bought three shades: Audacious (neon tangerine) , Shameless (purple) and complex (nude). Much as I love shameless and complex, audacious did not work really well for me. It's the shade that Emma Stone wore for the campaign but the balm just doesn't stay on my lips at all.

I really love the texture ( except for Audacious), it's very smooth and hydrating your lips quite well. The lippies are matte but they don't dry up, you just need to apply the lipstick and have the matte effect immediately.

In terms of longevity, this line does not stay as long as balm stain but can last for at least 2 coffee.
