Revlon ColorBurst Matte & Lacquer Balms Review, Swatches & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Hey beauties!
 
You guys have absolutely no idea how long I have been wanting to post this. Cliché, right? I always say that, maybe 90% of the time ;p
 
I actually lost the video footage after a crashed USB flash drive that I was not willing to spend $400 to recover info from at Geek Squad. I finally mustered the energy to film the video again, so lucky for y’all!
 
These lip colors are absolutely beautiful and I have many favorites. There are only a couple that I don’t like, but they are definitely worth having and are very reasonably priced. I am all about luxury items, but there is definitely nothing wrong with good old affordable makeup that looks like a million bucks! I’ll have a list of stores I have spotted them later in this post. By the way, I don’t own all of the colors, but I definitely plan to in the near future 😉

Demure is not flattering on my skin tone at all. It would be best paired with a darker lip liner or even a darker gloss on top. This color would work best alone on pale to medium skin.

 

Coquette* is a gorgeous pink. It’s a blue-based pink that is very wearable. This would suit a variety of skin tones. This is one of those pinks that are great if you aren’t comfortable wearing a bonafide hot pink lipstick. It doesn’t hurt that it’s super pigmented too.

 

Flirtatious and Provocateur are very similar, except for the fact that Flirtatious is more of a watermelon red and has slight glimmer.
Provocateur* is that shade of choice if you want that plump, juicy red lip. It’s beautiful and not overly pigmented or too sheer.
Tease honestly disappointed me. I expected it to lean more orange, but it has a lot of red. Still a beautiful color, nonetheless.
Enticing is like Provocateur* and Tease made a baby. I wouldn’t say it’s a “must have” just because of that simple fact. This is an easy skip for me.

 

Ingenue* is that hard to find nude shade that I have been searching high and low for in the drugstore world. Most nudes I have found lean more pink, but not this baby. I highly recommend it as a nude for women of color. It would also work on a variety of other skin tones.

Coy is a shade that I can’t quite describe. It adds more of a deeper pigmentation to my lips without being overpowering. This is a shade I would throw on for an interview.
Sultry* is a gorgeous matte pink. It is a blue based pink, but it’s not an extremely bright shade, which may work for some of you if you’re on the hunt for that kind of thing.

 

Standout* is your typical red shade. I would throw this in my bag if I wanted an easy, quick red lip. It’s super pigmented and it’s like an “in between” red, not too light or dark.

 

Audacious* is that perfect coral shade that I have been searching for sooo long. It has NO pink and it’s not too drying. This is probably the best true coral in my entire collection.

 

Striking is a lighter version of Standout*. It has the same intensity, but it a couple of shades lighter.

 

Showy* is obviously another one of my favorites lol. It’s a gorgeous purple pink and doesn’t lean Pepto Bismol. 

 

Shameless was a mere disappointment. It’s not as pigmented as I thought it would be. It takes some effort to get that intensity that I enjoy. Still not too shabby for a drugstore purple lip, in my opinion.
Revlon really stepped it up with these. I have several favorites and there’s really only 1 that doesn’t work for me. You can find these at CVS, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid or any other Revlon retailer. Be wary of the seals though. Drugstore displays can be pretty gross, so make sure your labels are intact!
