Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

I bought two of these recently in the shades 220 Showy which is a cool toned pink/coral, and 210 Unapologetic which is a cool toned brighter pink. I like the pencil/stick format, very easy to apply, although I wonder if it will be harder to ensure a crisp cupid's bow once they've worn down a bit. The tubes are matte too, which is a nice touch. They smell strongly of peppermint which I disliked because it's something that can be quite drying, and the fragrance is unnecessary to add. Both colours lasted well on my lips, through a morning of coffee drinking and snacks, only needing a reapplication after lunch. They are quite bold colours, both both are very wearable - I wore them to work and received compliments, especially on Unapologetic. The two cost me $44 at Farmers which I think is a reasonable price for a good quality product, and if you want them cheaper they often have sales.

Thought this product smelt funny and didn't like the texture on my lips. It felt like it was apply lipbaalm with a crayon. Not for me, but do love all the bright colours it comes in

I LOVE these matte lipsticks! The colour range is incredible, I now own 3 of this range and all suit my skin and eyes. The buttery shea texture is nourishing and soft so no need for a balm underneath. The colour lasts for hours and I only need to reapply after eating a meal and its' pigmentation is amazing. The colours are so bold and dense, and people always comment on my lippy when I wear it out. I feel the pepperminty scent it has naturally plumps my lips which is always a bonus. It has cute and handy packaging that fits nicely in the handbag or evening purse, and I like that they are the the same colour on the packaging as the colour of the lippy so there's no mixing them up when you're in a rush. They are reasonably priced, average about $22 which I think is fine to pay for a product that really works and looks gorgeous and finished. The ONLY downside to this lippy is that it starts off pointed, which is perfect to give that defined cupids bow, and as it wears down it becomes rounded like a normal lippy so is harder to complete the bow.

First off - I love these!

I got three of these from Farmers - two of them in the matte and one of the lacquers. They were Buy 2 get the 3rd free which I felt was a great deal. The matte shades I purchased were 210 - Unapologetic and 220 - Showy.

I find these are very moisturising on my lips. Others have said the balms dry out their lips but it is the opposite for me. I like the texture of them and they smell minty which I also love. The mint also feels like it gives you a little bit of plump to your lips as well as often after doing my first application my lips tingle a wee bit.

They are so easy to apply, they dry fairly quickly and the formula is buttery and when you rub your lips together it feels good to me. They are very opaque, you don't need to do more than 1-2 swipes. The balms last a while on your lips, I usually will go to work and only have to reapply after eating lunch, they last while I drink a cup of tea or coffee.

The colours are gorgeous, I will repurchase and have more shades on my wishlist already!

It has to be said straight up I like a matte lip. These are great. The colours are great with good pigmentation. I like the formula. The product applies smoothly and wears well. This will last through a coffee without having to re-apply. You get a Matte finish that isn't chalky or dry. This doesn't make your lips dry and flaky. These are awesome to throw into your handbag. Personally I quite like the mint scent but it may not be for everyone.

I absolutely love these! i love matte lip products and it stains my lips so it has atleast some colour when i am unable to reapply. They are easy to apply and have a really good smell! Would so repurchase more in different colours.

I tried this product out simply because a friend was wearing it and it looked great on her. It seemed to dry my lips out alot and made them peel :( Even tho this product wasn't for me it comes in fab colours!

The application process i found was difficult, because i naturally have very dry lips, i found it didn't just glide on, it actually highlighted the cracks in my lips. In saying this not alot of the product is required to cover your lips.

It comes in a great pencil-like package with a secure slide on lid, which i think is handy for carrying in your handbag.

Personally i wouldn't buy this product again, simply because it dried my lips out more.

I have two 215 shameless desinvolte(purple) and 225 sultry sulfureuse(rosy-mauve). These would have to be my go to lip products, I purchased them when unichem pharmacy had a two for $30 sale. I've had them for about four months and I am absolutely going to repurchase when they run out. Such a creamy formula and the staying power is amazing, I would put it on about 7:30 in the morning and not need to reapply till about 2:30 in the afternoon. There also seems to be a great range of colours available. Definitely something you need to purchase for yourself.

I really like the matte balm crayon I have in shade 220 Showy Flamboyante. The colour is a beautiful light and bright pink. The durability of wear of this product is pretty good. Because it is a matte balm the wear is great and I am not reapplying it as much as glossy finish alternatives. I love the texture and consistency of this crayon. It glides on amazingly easily and feels nice on but I find by the end of the day my lips are a bit dry but I find this will all of my matte lip products this one is not the most drying though. These are amazingly good for the reasonable price and have such a good colour range available I really recommend these.

I was ever so excited for the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms to launch in New Zealand as I am a big fan of bright, bold colours with a matte finish. This colour range has something for everyone, from a deep purple to a neon coral. My personal favourite and most worn colour is 'Showy,' a bright pink.

The name and packaging of the product turn these colours from a standard lipstick to a chubby crayon with the word 'balm' suggesting sheer, moisturizing colour. However on the lips these really could be a standard (but still beautiful) lip colour as the application is surprisingly precise and the colours are bold and long-lasting.

The matte formula is great for those with oily skin or anyone who prefers a matte finish to their look. The colour doesn't change during the day and they are pretty hard to budge. I don't struggle with dry lips and only experienced dryness after wearing the matte balm three days in a row. The colour can be reapplied once during the day, however a third application looks thick and gunky so I did have to remove the lip colour and then start fresh. Overall the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms are a great product for anyone who doesn't suffer from dry lips and is looking for a pop of colour.
