Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

These lip crayons are awesome. There's a huge range of colours, they're a smooth and creamy formula, and they smell like peppermint! This seemed weird at first to me but the mint is an ingredient meant to make your lips tingle and appear fuller. I have 3 shades, 230 (a nude) 245 (a bright orange) and 225 (a deep burgundy). while the nude and burgundy are excellent I find the bright orange clings to any slightly dry patches on my lips. Avoid the bright shades in these, but definitely pick up some of the more toned down colours as the quality is excellent.

I received one of these babies in a goodiebox. I am so glad I did as this isn't the sort of thing I would pick out for myself but I LOOOOVE it!

I cant remember the shade(I dont have it handy) but omg the colour payoff is amazing and it stays put all day(or night) despite eating and drinking with it on.

This didnt dry out my lips at all, in fact I find it very hydrating and my lips continue to look smooth the entire time Im wearing it.

If you are on the fence about purchasing it, dont be, it is an outstanding product

I have this in the shade unapoligetic and I am in love. I have been looking for the perfect red/fuchsia/pink lip colour that's matte and this is perfect. They last all day and are really creamy. I didn't expect it to go on so smooth as it's matte but i was pleasantly surprised. The packaging is cute and easy to use as you never need to sharpen it. There are only a few things I don't like about it: once you've used it for a while it tends it go flat at the top which makes it hard to get a crisp line. And the smell, I really don't like peppermint, but the smell doesn't last that long (thank god)

A friend of mine gave me a pink one of these because she already has one. Oh my life, these are amazing! The smell is a fresh mint smell, the colour itself is so pigmented. Once the lipstick has worn off there's a slight tint left on your lips, its great. The lipstick isn't drying, it lastes a good few hours on your lips. I probably will buy more of these, they have a good colour selection too. The lipstick is a bit pricey, but for under $30 its great!

I love this product. I haven't always been comfortable applying and wearing lipstick and this is a great alternative. This is long wearing and affordable. There's so many colours. I now own three and will continue to buy this product.

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 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.

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 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 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.
