Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain Review

I have this in a plum shade and I love it. It is a really handy product, it gives good colour but is more subtle than a lipstick. I use it along with a regular lipbalm and it is perfect for going out as you can wear it for several hours without needing to reapply at all.

So I brought three of these lip balm stains and well I have a totally mixed review of each colour so I will review by colours:

Amazing 5/5 = Honey Douce. (001) This is my go to everyday colour, I can wear it with any colour clothes/makeup etc as it gives the lips a perfect hue being a dusky pink colour, its neutral but with added definition. I wear this most days to work as its the BEST. Doesn't crack on the lips and wears evenly. My lips never feel dry after wearing. I will defiantly be buying again. (has lasted ages already too, bonus!) This would suit both fair to dark skin tones.

Ok 3/5 = Rendezvous (040) This is an orange coral colour and applies nice to lips however if lips are even a little chapped it will be noticeable. Even if I've prepped my lips it still seems to get between the lines. I like this one for a pop of colour but disappointed that it doesn't last as long as hoped. It doesn't seem as nourishing as the Honey douche, and dries my lips a little after use. Again, would suit most skin types depending how bold you like to go!

Bad 1/5 = Charm (035) This one just doesn't work on my lips, its a light fleshy skin tone shade and works more like a balmy gloss but the light colour sits uneven on my lips and really shows up even the smallest of lines (even when my lips are baby smooth) and actually stings my lips when applied(!) I never bother using this colour anymore and would imagine it will sit around until I throw it out or give it away.

So there you have it, a very mixed review on these!

I had the Tarte lipsurgence and the lovely BR member Kirstyj recommended I try this, this one is identical, half the price and easier to find rather than buying online. I brought the colour 105 Demure Reservee ooo fancy name. The colour is a pretty light pink with a shimmer.

I love different novelty type things and this being in the shape of a crayon ticks all the novelty boxes it also makes it very easy to apply, and don't fear when your running low you just twist up the bottom and up it comes, too easy.

This isn't really like a stain though it's a lot like a balm it's nice because it doesn't dry out your lips. I have found with it though it does need touching up quite frequently especially after eating and drinking but I don't mind because it's so easy to apply. With it having a shimmer/glitter in it I was worried it would have been harsh on my lips but I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was.

I can't wait to purchase more of these, especially one for night time as I find this one better for day use as it's just a very subtle pink.

I have three shades,they apply smoothly and feel hydrating on the lips.They stain the lips too which I suppose they are meant to.They last all day for me, but two of the shades oxidise and change colour totally different from the tube.

I love the colours this comes in, they are nice and bold. I really like the crayon type style, it makes application super easy. It goes on smooth but I do have to exfoliate my lips before using, because if you have any cracks or old skin it clings to it and looks terrible. It feels great on my lips, nice and creamy. As much as I love the colour I was disappointed as I don't get a stain and have to touch it up several times, even more if I eat or drink anything, which I found to be disappointing considering the whole point of buying it was so you wouldn't have to touch it up during the day. I like it but I could probably get the same result with a good old lipstick.

There is literally nothing I can find wrong with these. They are highly pigmented (especially the matte ones) and they are very long wearing on their own. I love the colour selection and how the colour inside the tube really does match the packaging. Also like the cooling sensation and nice minty scent when you put it on.

I love these balm stains! The colour payoff is great. I have quite a few of these and they're all great. Very balmy, and stops my lips from becoming dry. I find that they do stain your lips after it settles in. They glide on super easily and I use these daily since most lipsticks dry out my lips. Plus they're affordable too.

By the name colour burst lip balm stain you would think 3 things ... there's heaps of colour, it's a balm and it's a stain. It lives up to 1 of these. It gets a big tick for colour. I wanted something really purple (not pink purple or lilac) so I bought the Shameless shade. It screamed purple and when I swatched it on my hand I rubbed it to make sure it didn't turn into a pink as a lot of purples seem to do that. As for the balm, I wouldn't say it added any extra moisture to my lips at all, and for a stain it doesn't have the wear of a stain. Eating dinner proved this, my upper lip still had an average amount of colour but my bottom lip was only left with the edge having colour. So it disappoints on a few levels, especially from a reputable brand like Revlon as I have found most of their products to be reliable.

I brought this (with a million other lippys!), from Walmart, the stick tasted nice, had a great full, bright colour - berry and lasted for hours. Great purchase!

I got two for $30 at a farmers sale and was super excited to try them out. Got the colors in Smitten (which I love) and romantic which I wish had a bit more oomph kind of red to it. The balm is moisturizing, not a whole bunch but a good amount to keep the lips from drying out with the stain. I feel as if it would last a good amount of time. The stain color didn't last long at all, I swatched a tester on my hand and a few hours later the stain was still there but it was no longer on my lips which was disappointing considering it's meant to be a stain. I'm not totally sold on them.
