Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Striking
Hi girls!
Hope you had a great weekend! Today, I am going to review the
latest launch by Revlon, actually there were two lip products which were launched simultaneously Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms and Lacquer Balms. I will review the matte
balm first in the shade Striking which is no 240. These matte balms have been launched
in 8 shades like: Sultry, shameless, Unapologetic, elusive, striking, standout,
mischievous and Audacious.
Price: Revlon Colorburst Matte
balms are Priced at 800 rupees each in India

I like the concept of lip
colors in a crayon/chubby stick kind of packaging, reason being it makes them
very easy to use and line your lips at the same time fill in. (at least till the
time the pointed dome is still there and hasn’t worn out).
You’ll need to just twist
the bottom silver part like a lipstick tube to let the bullet pop out. That was quite a relief
as there were some products that you need to sharpen up and trust me that can be the most annoying
thing, not only the wastage but the time it consumes.
Moving on Revlon Matte balm in Striking is a
beautiful red with slight orange hues showing up here and there or more like an apple red
color. Very hot and very gorgeous!!
These matte balms emit a
minty bubblegummy smell that I like though may not be the case with everyone, but it
won’t last that long therefore, even if you really aren't a fan of that fragrance in your lip
product, it shouldn’t bother you much.

Apart from the fragrance, once applied
it gives a cooling sensation on the lips that stays for around half an hour and
then vanishes away!.
Pigmentation is good and
around two swipes are enough to provide an opaque finish, though it also depends on the shade. Striking is a hot red color and for
that 2 swipes are just enough.
They have this powdery matte texture, In spite of which, it glides really well on the lips. In other words, is quite hydrating.

It is hydrating and moisturisng yet shows up
as a matte color. Quite commendable as the problem with
most of the matte shades is of hydration and that they would make lips
dry but that isn’t the case with these matte balms.

It feels really light on my lips and till the time it's there, I could not feel that my lips aren't
getting flaky. I wore it the other day. It stayed on my lips for 4 hours
after which it starts to get fade off. When it is completely gone, it
leaves a very faint rosy tint. Very faint.
It doesn't settle into the fine lines as such but I noticed that while talking, it
gets a bit patchy from certain areas and slightly slips as in from the corners
of the mouth. I will recommend using a lip liner especially with darker colors from this
range.
The matte balms can definitely be a treat for matte lovers due to their light weight texture and hydrating formula.

Take: Revlon Colorburst Matte
balm has a light weight, hydrating texture with good pigmentation. It hydrates
the lips till the time, it’s there. Striking is a beautiful red with visible orange
hues and is a universally flattering shade especially for dusky skin
tones. It’s staying power is decent though the price could have been a bit
lesser. If you love matte lip colors and price is not a problem then they are
worth trying.
