Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm Review.



If you follow me over on You Tube you'll have noticed that these are pretty much the only thing on my lips for the past few videos. I'm already a huge fan of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so when I heard Revlon were coming out with a matte version I was more than a little excited.
I really didn't need any more red lipsticks, but I have a problem. If its new and it comes in red I'll almost always buy it!

I picked up three shades from the range, all brights as that is what I'm naturally drawn to- they do have a selection of brown and pink toned nudes as well but I don't find those shades flattering on me!

From left to right on the swatches below we have;

Audacious: I would describe this as a true orange shade. Its not got any pink or red in it, its just a straight up super-bright orange. I haven't been brave enough to wear this yet as I think on my pale skin it could wash me out. When the sun comes out and I have a bit of a tan or am wearing bronzer I think this will look gorgeous.

Standout: The middle shade below is the colour that, so far, I've worn the most! Its a beautiful deep cherry red that is very flattering against my pale skin tone.

Striking: Lastly, we have what I've described over on my channel as a strawberry red. Its one of those shades that I think would suit any skin tone, light or dark!



Overall, these really lived up to my expectations! They're long lasting but also feel incredibly creamy and moisturising in the lips.

Revlon Lip Butters


So these have been out for quite a while but I only bought one recently due to lack of funds/my boyfriend and mother insisting I didn't need anymore makeup! I'm glad that I finally caved and got one as I absolutely love the one I chose.
The shade I'm wearing in the picture below is Revlon Colourburst Wild Watermelon 063.



What I like most about these lip butters is the texture. They feel almost like a lip balm and have a slightly glossy finish and feel super moisturising on the lips. I think that they're a great daytime alternative to a full on lipstick. I paired this shade with some winged out black eyeliner. I love the retro vibe of black liquid liner paired with a red lip but sometimes find that if I need my makup to stay on all day a lipstick can be quite drying on the lips. Instead I've been wearing this lip butter to acheive a more muted red lip that still looks great with lashings of eyeliner.

 
I can't wait to pick up a few more colours from the range as I can see them being my go to products for summer! Mine cost me €11.20 in Boots but all the makeup is one 3 for 2 at the moment so its the prefect time to go in an grab some!
