Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm, Unapologetic

I love the colour. Will buy more if possible

unfortunately this colour is not available anymore...the lipstick is great I've used it for years..but only really like one colour..

As a huge lover of all things beauty, I already have quite a large collection of red lipsticks. However, as with shoes, you can never have too many!I've got several of the Revlon Balms but none of them were a matte finish. Matte red lips look so stunning and after seeing this product in a YouTube beauty tutorial, I just HAD to buy it.It's a gorgeous shade of red, perfect for day time or evening and it leaves the lips with a lovely matte finish. However, as it's a matte product, it is a little drying on the lips and I find I have to completely remove the product and re-apply it throughout the day to ensure my lips look good. I find adding a thin coat of lip balm before applying this helps.

I'm not going to lie; I originally got this purely for the colour. (Standout is a wonderful fall colour, a red with a touch of brown!) I wasn't expecting it to stay on after eating, or last all day.I ate a burrito, and although there was a lot of transfer, the colour remained on my lips. I drank cocktails; and despite minor transfer, the colour remained on my lips. The third event in this series of events is explicit, but the colour remained on my lips with very little transfer (if at all). One application.It's a proper balm stain; it'll act like a balm but take a while (say, half hour) to deposit the colour onto your lips properly. And you can reapply without messing up the previous layer. In fact, the colour will deepen....oh, and it has a minty scent to it. Not overwhelming, and you can't taste it, but it's there. I like it, but some people won't.

Love but stopped making

I wanted something I could use daily. I usually buy mac lipsticks, but they're expensive and run out too quickly! So I wanted to try something cheaper, to help my wallet. I ordered 'Standout' believing it to be a dark shade of a burgundy red. But instead, it looked like a rouge red on my lips- very bold. I should've realised from the name- 'Standout' lol Don't misunderstand- the colour is nice, but it wasn't what i expected or wanted. It arrived today so I haven't had the chance to see how long the wear lasts. Strangely enough, it smells like mint? When I removed it with cleansing water, it smudged so easily onto my skin leaving a stain. But it didn't take much to remove that too, just another wipe or two. So it's not too hard to remove, but it does smudge. The pen makes it so easy to apply onto the lips, so that's a bonus. If it weren't for the colour, I'd give it a 4 I guess. I just want all who are considering a purchase to appreciate that standout is not a burgundy shade. It's brighter than you expect.

Great lip stain - I wore 090 Starry Night before and it was discontinued but I found a great replacement with Sultry. Not quite as dark as Starry Night and not sparkly, but just as lovely.

I wish I had discovered these earlier. I have the matte and lacquer versions. The lacquer looks more glamorous. They are easy to use and stay on better than some higher end lip crayons. I’m sad Revlon has discontinued these.
