Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Review

This is an amazing product. It comes in a nice sturdy packaging so good to carry in your makeup bag or handbag.

It’s a cross between a velvet balm and lipstick, so it doesn’t dry my lips out. I have three colours in this range and all of them are great and very pigmented.

You can build the colour up and each layer gives you a great look.

I have these on two colours and absolutely adore them. In have quite dry lips and they are fabulously moisturising. They also don’t get on my teeth - which is a big plus for me as I have funky teeth and standard lipstick gets all over my teeth. They do come off with eating and are not “kiss proof” so if that’s something you want aim for a different product.

I received one of these from a Revlon pack and its honestly the only item i liked from the whole pack! I got the shade Shameless which is a purple and its totally a dupe for heroine! The formula is so creamy and it just glides on so smoothly on the lips. They are non-drying and they have a pepperminty feeling on the lips which i usually like!

The packaging is standard, its not bad and the point of the balm is so soft and pointy but it does not break off easily.

The shameless shade is a cool toned bright purple that is totally wearable even for everyday wear. Its so easy to pull off.

I do find that it is not very long lasting and feathers but thats cause i haven't got a lipliner that matches this shade. Its a good 3 hour of wear then you might need to reapply after that. Because it is so creamy it can smudge around your mouth if you're not careful, so when you're drinking, drink from a straw.

I got this in the light orange shade, and i really like it! It has a minty kind of scent (not really sure really) and it dries matte after a couple of minutes. Its a pretty colour and i do like it, though it works best when i mix it with my Australis Colour Inject in Lick the Icing to get a neon coral colour for something adventurous. I really like them :) Definately keen for some different colours

It has to be said straight up I like a matte lip. These are great. The colours are great with good pigmentation. I like the formula. The product applies smoothly and wears well. This will last through a coffee without having to re-apply. You get a Matte finish that isn't chalky or dry. This doesn't make your lips dry and flaky. These are awesome to throw into your handbag. Personally I quite like the mint scent but it may not be for everyone.

I have one of these in the shade 250 ‘Standout’. It’s a perfect blue-based bright red, and I think it would suit basically anyone.

I love the packaging; the tube itself has a matte finish and I love these crayon-type lip products anyway. The lid fits securely, and the tube is easy to wind up and down.

The actual product is very pigmented. One swipe is basically fully opaque, and so this is very easy to apply. I agree entirely with the name as a description: although it’s not in any way glossy, this glides on super smoothly, just like a balm. It definitely looks velvety as opposed to full-on dry matte, which I really like.

This doesn’t dry out my lips, which is great. I don’t find it particularly moisturising, so I do often apply a bit of lip balm before, but it doesn’t accentuate dryness too badly, and it is very comfortable to wear throughout the day.

In terms of lasting power, this is pretty good. I do have to reapply after eating a meal, but it stands up to normal wear well, and I can get a good few hours without having to worry about it.

For such a bright/bold colour, I really like that I don’t have to use a lip liner, as it doesn’t really feather or ‘travel’ off my lips.

My only slight gripe with this is that (as with any crayon-shaped lippie), the tip wears down eventually, and so it’s a bit harder to apply precisely. However, this is a small thing in light of the fact that it’s really an amazing lip product, and I’m willing to live with it because of that.

Overall: I love this, and I’m definitely keen to pick up another one or two different shades at some point.

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!

'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!

I have two shades, Elusive, a pale pink and Mischievous, a dark purple. They are hydrating, smooth, pigmented and reasonably long wearing for such a creamy product. I find the dark colour clings to dry skin on my lips sometimes, but overall I love them both.

After reading the great reviews on BR, I decided I needed this lovely Revlon matte balm in my life. I'm a fan of Revlon lipsticks, and I was hoping this would also be just as good or better than the other revlon lipsticks I have tried.

The packaging reminds me of Clinique Chubby stick, as it's in a crayon type tube. It's stylish and sleek, the packaging colour reflects the type of lip colour you choose. My choice, bring 'sultry', so the colour is a beautiful, medium, nude-type pink.

I love the colour 'Sultry' as its so wearable and perfect for everyday wear, the shade is so flattering for my fair skin. It's just a couple of shades darker than my lip colour, and just a beautiful colour.

The crayon-type pen makes it so easy to apply. The formula is lovely, and its so moisturising for my lips. My lips can get dry and cracked easily, and some lippies just accentuate the dryness- not these. This is perfect, as so hydrating. It also is longwearing, and after eating and drinking can still see the colour.

I'm impressed with this product, and it's the lip colour I reach for most days. I can't wait to get more colours to add to my collection. Revlon has made another winner here- in love!
