Revlon ColorBurst Balms!

I’ve been thinking about how exactly I’m going to incorporate colors this Spring and then it hit me: Lips! the perfect bright lip color is a great way to add a little pop of color to whatever it is you're wearing. Like a bright, plump little accessory!

Now, I hate to admit it, but I am not a lipstick girl. It’s true, they can just be so drying! Even with most of the higher end lipsticks I’ve found myself putting a lip balm on before applying. So when I heard about these Revlon ColorBust balms I popped down to my local drugstore and with the BOGO 50% off deal I couldn’t help but pick out 4 of my favorites.

Gorgeous right?! I mean it’s a lip balm! I chose to try out 3 Mattes and 1 Balm Stain because I’d heard that the Mattes can be drying. I wasn’t super impressed with the appearance, or lack there of, of the stain 040 - Rendezvous. It seemed to be lacking in pigmentation but is always a nice alternative if you’re not looking for too much color, or want more hydration. The smell of both balms is quite minty, which I’m fond of. They also last a good amount of time. I think I went about 4-5 hours without a touch up! Both are very hydrating and the Mattes seem to become even more pigmented once they’ve had a chance to settle on the lips.
