Are the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms Worth the Hype?

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms

Recently, I bought the much raved about Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms from Chic Cosmetics Manila here in the Philippines. It is not yet available at our local counters so it is hard to buy them. I was lucky to have bought three colors that I liked. I got Mischievous, Showy, and Unapologetic. The packaging is cute, but similar to the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, only it has a matte texture.

OVERALL: I love most of Revlon’s products, but I think this product did not impress me much. I do not like how it looks when it settles on the lines of my lips. I like the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains more than this. If I will suggest other options for a matte lip product, it will be the Wet N’ Wild Megalast Lipsticks. They have better texture and pigmentation, and they also come in variety of colors. Remember, my experience with this product may be different, so you can still give it a try if you want to. 🙂

RECOMMEND: No
PURCHASE AGAIN: No

Hope this review helped! Have a great week! :-*
