Best matte lippy!

'Sultry' caught my eye as soon as I saw it. As soon as it went on display I tried it on and got so many compliments on how the colour suited me! So I naturally just HAD to buy it!

The product comes in a long tube, sort of like a jumbo pencil so it is so easy to apply. When you first put it on, your lips tingle as there is a pepperminty smell and taste to it which I love! I easy get about 3 hours of wear out of it, provided I dont eat anything.

The only downside is that if you have dry lips, the formula might stick to it and make it appear even drier, so always exfoliate your lips before you wear the lippy! A friend (ex Revlon counter manager) always wears makes sure she puts on eight hour lip cream before she wears it just to prime her lips and swears by it!

I would definitely repurchase the Colorburst Matte Balms, I just wish they came in more shades! Such an easy and comfortable lippy to wear so would definitely recommend to everyone!

Showy

First up let me tell you how hard it was to pick a shade to buy while I was in the store. All the shades looked amazing, though some would not suit me and some were out of stock I still had a tough time picking one to buy & try in the end I went with 'Showy'

Showy is a gorgeous hot pink but still very wearable. The product applies nice and creamy and the colour is very pigmented. I also love the minty smell and tinglyness.

I have quite dry lips so I did find the balm to dry out my lips and start to feel weird & I found with eating and drinking it came off quite easily.

The packaging is the same as the rest of Revlon's Colourburst range a twist up crayon which is the best as no one likes to sharpen lip products to get that nice point for application.

Overall as I haven't tried many other lip products I am keen to buy a few other colours as I have heard that some colours differ in consistency/colour pay off etc.

Non-drying Matte

When the bucket sale came to town this was one of the many products that I couldn't resist. I love the Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stains and thought if this was to compare in anyway I would absolutely love it. I bought the shade 205 Elusive which is a lovely pink shade that I am pleased I picked.

The packaging is the same as the balm stains and all the other balms that Revlon do. I think it is really practical. With this the packaging is the same color as the lip shade which I love as when you are digging in your bag you can find exactly what you are looking for. The product twists up from the bottom. I like that the packaging is matte as well to match the product.

The lip product has a delicious minty smell which I really really like. It smooths onto the lips beautifully. Some matte products are quite drying but this feels really comfortable on the lips. The product is fully opaque as well which is really nice. This has a nice lasting power, but not as good as others as it is not as drying so it doesn't get into the lips as much. On me it lasts at least half a day before I need to top up the middle.

I love the product overall and will pick up other colors if I see them on sale. I imagine a red shade would be awesome!

Truly a Standout!

The packaging of Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms are very similar to that of Revlon Colorburst Balm Stains. They are in a twist up tube format that look like chubby crayons which we all love as they are so easy to carry around, to use and they don't need sharpening. Like Revlon Balm Stains, this Revlon Matte Balm has minty scent and taste which I find soothing on lips. I have the shade Standout which is like a mixture of red and pink color. It isn't bright red, but a lighter shade of red with pink color added to it. I love how this balm easily glides on lips without tugging or dragging. It is smoother to apply as compared to many other matte lipsticks I have tried in the past. It is super pigmented and one swipe is enough. The color you see on the stick is what you will get on the lips which is super nice. As far as longevity is concerned, it lasts 4 hours on lips. But at least it fades evenly on lips and I find reapplying very easy because of the balm's texture. All in all, its a matte balm with lovely shades to choose from, wonderful texture and great quality. This is nice to try!

Favourite lip colours atm!

I own 4 of these so far, and will probably get more in the future. The pencil shape makes them super easy to apply and the colours are very pigmented.

I've found the lasting power of these is really good, only fading slightly in the middle if ive been eating or drinking, and I have woken up in the morning with the colour still there if I have applied them at night.

These balms dont dry super matte, which I like because they actually feel like you're wearing lip balm and they dont dry out your lips like other mattes can. The only downside to this would be that they can transfer onto things but not too much.

delish lips! x

In love with these, I have a the colour sultry, which is the perfect nude for my skin tone and the color shameless which is a deeper purple colour.They do have a matte finish but it is not super drying, they also have a minty scent so it might not be for you if you're not into scented lippies. These pencil shaped lippies are so easy to use and I love that they don't need to be sharpened :)

My new favourite thing!

A friend recommended me these, as well as the balm stains which I've yet to try. I picked up Striking, Standout and Unapologetic, and I'm crazy about all three. They are very pigmented (Standout and Unapologetic more than Striking) and ridiculously easy to apply because of the crayon format. This is excellent for me because I'm not super skilled with lipstick. They smell nice and they're balmy on the lips. They dry to a really matte finish which is a little different between them - Unapologetic probably comes up the creamiest, whereas Striking can be a bit streaky and flaky after a while. They wear for ages. I was thrilled with my MAC lipsticks but these wear better. Through snacks, drinks and even meals, I've found little need to reapply. They set and they stay. I'm mad about them and I will probably buy the rest of the set, as all of the colours look fantastic.

All You Need a Lip Product

I am in love with this product! I was initially looking for an everyday lipstick to wear and when I came across these I was amazed. The first colour i bought was Elusive and it is just the perfect everyday pink that I wear almost everyday.What I love about these is that they have a matte finish but they dont dry your lips out, they are actually quite moisturising. They also leave a minty sensation on your lips which I love. I now also have the colour Sultry which is a darker mauvy pink which everyone seems to be loving. This colour is perfect for the cold season. Over all I will definitely be buying more colours.

Go to!

I absolutely adore these matte balms! I have about 5 different colours and the colour pay off is beautiful! They moisturise your lips without drying (Like most Matte Balms do) and glide on really easily and nicely. The only one bad thing I would have to say is that they don't last as long as a regular lipstick on my lips so you do need to reapply every so often :)

I also love how cute he packaging is (The Crayon look) but it's not too big and still fits happily into my makeup bag!

Will definitely be repurchasing!

Elusive

I got this in the shade Elusive as part of my Xmas present thos year and I'm absolutely obsessed with it! Id been lusting over these in Farmers for ages now and I'm just so in love. The color is soft yet vibrant, the matte finish looks classy and satin without appearing dry or too dull, and most of all it feels so smooth and soft to wear. I love the concept of crayons, they're so easy to use and are super comfy to hold. The staying power is great although I have tried my best to avoid eating and drinking when wearing this. Overall an awesome matte lippy
