Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain Review

I have this as well as the matte ones and I think this is one of the better balm stains I've tried. It's an opaque, dull pink and gives my lips a hint of color which looks really natural. I love these crayon style designs which you turn up because application is so easy and precise and you don't have to sharpen them. Its texture is actually quite balmy and feels smooth when applied. It's not drying and but I do have to reapply every so often. The color gets rubbed off quite easily and transfers when I drink or eat, due to its balm consistency. I don't like the smell as it's quite artificial and not scented. Overall a cute purchase and I carry it around in my bag for a natural hint of color.

I had been eyeing these up for quite a while when I finally saw a Christmas special pack of 5 (a couple of years back) at half price. So of course I bought them!

They are all beautifully coloured and easy to use.... Kind of like a crayon on your lips. But I really didn't like them. They all smell minty and have that mint feeling on your lips. I usually love this and find it quite refreshing but I find it quite intense with these ones!

The leave a light sheen with a slight pop of colour which is quite nice for a subtle makeup look but the feeling of them is just not for me.

However, I don't know if they have changed their formula or if it is just because of the shade but my friend recently sent me a peachy nude one and I love it! It doesn't have that minty scent or feel and it is nice and moisturising on the lips and looks great!

I bought one of these babies as they were on special for $12 and had the shade I was looking for.I bought "Crush" which is a darkish berry shade. Kind of plum. First off, I love the crayon format.. easy to use. Second I love the colour. And third, the formula goes on very easily, provides a light stain effect and yet looks sheer also. Feels very moistrising and provides a nice splash of colour to my day. I'm predicting that I will be wearing A LOT over the coming winter days and nights.

I bought Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in "Rendezvous" (#040), after using Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick (#020). I've never really been a lipstick kind of person and I find that I definitely prefer the look and feel of balm stains to actual lipstick.

The packaging and formula of the Colorburst Balm Stain is the same as the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain and is also packaged in a 2.7g retractable chubby crayon stick with a silver twistable base. The formula provides an even coverage and is moisturising (while the balm lasts) with a long-lasting colour stain. The colour wasn't as intense after a few hours, but there was still a coloured stain on my lips and by simply touching up the balm, the colour was revived and my lips are moisturised once more.

The Colorburst Balm has the same slight minty smell as the Just Bitten Kissable Balm upon initial application, but this wears off after a few minutes. If your lips do continue to tingle or they sting at all, remove the balm stain immediately, as Peppermint Oil can be an irritant to certain skin types.

I haven't had a problem with Rendezvous 'bleeding' into fine lines and wrinkles around the lips but I'd still recommend using a pencil lipliner to create a nice crisp, neat outline. If you don't have a pencil lipliner in a matching colour, just use a nude one (one that matches your natural lip colour) and blend the edges of the lipliner onto your lips with a cotton bud to prevent any harsh outlines.

To prevent any dry patches on my lips from being accentuated by the lip stain, I gently exfoliated my lips with a warm wash cloth before applying a tiny amount of eyecream onto my lips to lightly moisturise them before applying the balm stain.

Would I recommend this product? Yes, I really do enjoy using Revlon Balm Stains. Would I purchase it again? Definitely. When I finish a tube lipstick in a favourite colour, I plan to replace it with a Balm Stain in a similar colour!

I have three of these, two matte and one gloss. I love the range of colours they have and the fact that you can get them in matte/gloss.

I love that the matte ones are not drying. They apply smoothly and are not uncomfortable to wear, same with the gloss ones. They also have great pigmentation and last a while.

I know not everyone does but I like the peppermint scent of them. The crayon shape tip is cool and it makes it easy to apply as well as being able to twist the bottom to get more product.

I really like the pigmentation and texture of this balm its very moisturising on the lips, - even the matte texture. the colour selection is great too and I love that the packaging matches the colour making it easy to find.

I have two shades of the Balm Stains: Lovesick and Romantic. Lovesick is a nice wearable pink shade and Romantic is an orangey-red. I really like them both.

These balm stains are not as pigmented and has a glossy finish but it's good for every day casual makeup look. They're pigmented enough but they're not as long lasting as compared to the Revlon matte balms.

What I like most about the balm stains are the minty scent. It feels good on the lips and it's not drying.

absolutely adored this product. I have the the dark pink one and i used it regularly and it never failed to give me the "lip stain" look. Only thing is, after a while it would get greasy on the lips.

This is a great go to balm when you need a bit of extra colour. I have a matte colour but it is still pretty moisturising. These balms have amazing colour payoff and pigmentation. However they dont last very long on the lips and I find myself having to constantly reapply. Overall a nice easy to use product, but I wouldn't rely on it for any more than simple day to day use.
