Revlon | Colorburst Matte and Lacquer Balms

posted on: Sunday, February 16, 2014

Revlon is one of my favourite drug store brands for lip products. I have a bunch of their lipsticks, their lip butters, and a couple balm stains. I loved the easy application of their Just Bitten Balm Stains, so I was really excited to hear that Revlon would be release a bunch of new cubby lip crayons. 

The new cubby lip crayons include matte and lacquer versions. I like that the two versions are distinguished by their packaging, with the matte lip crayons in matte packaging, and the lacquer lip crayons in shiny packaging. The Revlon lip crayons are also retractable, so there is no need for sharpening.

I recently did a Valentine's Day quiz with Revlon to reveal my date night style. I received the cutest Valentine's Day package from Revlon including the lacquer balm in Whimsical, and the matte balm in Shameless. I already owned the lacquer balm in Demure and the matte balm in Showy. I'm really happy with the colours that I own. At first glance I wasn't a fan of the micro glitter in the lacquer balms, but applied on the lips they add a nice shimmer, and I didn't feel the glitter on my lips. The matte shades weren't too drying, were opaque, and I really liked the application. Revlon describes these lipsticks as having a triple butter complex of Shea, Coconut, and Mango butters that nourish and moisturize the lips. They also have a slight minty scent to them, which I really like.
