I wanted to share a review of the Revlon Coloburst Matte Balm.
What are the claims about this product?
- Gives a velvety matte look;
- Has good amount of moisture;
- Feels beyond comforting.
The Colorburst Matte Balms feel and look like a lipstick. I could tell from trying them in store that the staying power was nice... Even with make-up remover I still had stains on my hands! That and the pretty colours was enough to convince me to buy it haha!
What do I think of them after a couple of months?
- They are matte, without making my lips look super dry;
- They make you think of a balm in the sense that it has that tingle from menthol;
- They have a really good colour payoff, you don't need a generous amount for the colour to show very nicely;
- They go on smoothly;
- They last the longest with a lipliner or if you blot them first (creating a bit of a stain) and reapply;
- Most of the colour will stay even when eating and drinking;
- When applied the ways mentionned above, they will make the lips really dry, but at first they feel really nice;
- If applied without any lipliner or without blotting first, the colour doesn't stay when eating or drinking;
- They do have weird smell, but it's not overpowering;
- I didn't notice any bleeding outside the lip line.
In general, I really like the Colorburst Matte Balm. I think that the only inconveniences for me are the smell and the dryness, but both a very mangeable! I really want to get other ones, but I'm not sure which ones. Right now, I own Sultry and Audacious, and I've barely worn the latter. I just feel like orange lipstick is meant for the summer haha! Let me know which shades are your favorites!
