Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

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.

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.

I was really on the fence about purchasing these matt balm lipsticks as I tend to be disappointed with how they come off to easy or go absolutely EVERYWHERE when you are trying to put them on. However after hearing a few good things I decided to take the plunge and purchase two different colours. When I next put the lippy on it applied on great, it is so handy having it in a pencil formed stick, it made it much easier to apply. The colour (Coral) stained my lips perfectly did kept the bold colour that I was looking for and it also stayed on for as long as I needed! I really love how this product delivered on what was promised. The colour transferred onto my lips beautifully and stayed there throughout the day, it was easy to apply so I had to go back and get more! Now I have a range of colours from the Revlon range and receive many complements when wearing it and of often people will ask what kind of lippy it is and where I got it from. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good bold lip colour and is sick of having to apply lippy every 5 minutes!

I bought a few of these as my friend owned one of them and I really loved it. They are also really decently priced! I now own three different colours, including the one in the picture above and this is also my favourite. They are really hydrating and work just like a lip balm should, meaning you get the colour and the hydration in one easy product. They smell like menthol, which I really love because it feels fresh on your lips. The colour is actually also a lot more dramatic that you think it would be, meaning it works great as a lip stick replacement also.

I was given a Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade Showy as a gift and I am really pleased that I was able to give this (fairly) new range from Revlon a go.

The Colourburst range look like large crayons that are easy to apply to your lips. I really like the colour that I was given - Showy. It is a nice pink shade that is a good every day lip colour. The Balm is very moisturising on my lips and has average staying power of about 2-4 hours, depending on if you are eating or drinking etc.

The Matte range is very pigmented and the crayon-type applicator means it is very easy to apply. I like my Colourburst Matte Balm and want to try more colours in the range!

Is there anything cuter than a crayon lipstick? It could teeter on the edge of cutesy, but Revlon have created a crayon that manages to be adorable, whilst still being sophisticated. Yes, I do like the packaging.

I own one of these in the shade 'Sultry', and the colour is stunning on my skin tone. Every time I wear it I receive a compliment, and who doesn't like that?

But do I like the product, apart from the packaging, and the colour? Yes, mostly. The balm goes on so smoothly, and the crayon makes it really easy to define and fill your lips. It glides on, feels moisturising, and the colour payoff is intense. It also has this really yummy minty smell - it doesn't hang around, but it does make for a delicious application experience.

Stickability? It has it. It's often still on my lips after a few hours, however for some reason I end up with the lipstick sticking around the outer rims of my lips (up until about .5cm in) and the the inner part of my lips becomes bare very quickly, (and it happens whether I'm eating/drinking or not at all), and I end up with an unfortunate two tone effect. This may not happen for everyone, this could be a Kellie-quirk. But it's enough for me to stop giving it top marks, as I don't generally have the time to touch up my lipstick every hour, which is why I prefer either a lipstick that fades evenly, or one of those amazing new lipsticks that you need makeup remover in order to get it off your lips.

It's that one little thing that stops this being a lipstick that I reach for on a daily basis. I tend to use it now only when I'm off for a quick client appointment. Still, I'd recommend this matte balm, because it really is rather fabulous.

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

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!

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.

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.
