Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm
A Matte finish that’s beyond plush. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 10 collectible, craveable colours. -revlon.ca
After falling in love with Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms and Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains I could not wait to try out the Matte version - I was not let down. I have always been a gigantic fan of matte lipsticks but these balms are in a league of their own. They go on thick, rich and velvety.
I got the colour 215 Shameless which is a dark purple-pink. It is an extremely bold shade, but it is amazing with a lilac eye look.
Application is easy and mess free because of its great pencil shape, no going out side the lines, not lip brushes needed. The pencil also retracts so you will never need to sharpen it, there really is nothing not to love.
One other strange thing I noticed that I am loving is that it didn't seem to smear on me at all! Most of the time bold or very pigmented shades will smear on me, but not this time. I found no matter how much I ended up touching my face I never smeared it.
As for the claim that it comfortable and that all the oils and butters won't dry out your lips ----it is all true. My lips were super dry (chapped, peeling, bleeding) at the time when I chose to wear it, I immediately thought this is not going to end well. Well I was wrong, not only did my lips feel great, they looked great, the chaptness wasn't emphasized at all and my lips were actually softer.
I'm definitely going to pick up a few more of these some time soon.

ColorBurst Lacquer Balm:
High Shine Lacquer. Moisture Rich Balm. A lacquer finish that’s beyond brilliant. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 10 collectible, crave able colours -revlon.ca
I was slightly skeptical about the Lacquer Balms after trying their Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, I mean I love the balm stains, I own 9 of them after all, but would just a balm be as nice as the stain balm? The answer is yes, yes they are just as great as the Stains.
I have 115 Whimsical, which is berry-pink with a subtle silver shimmer to it. Being a balm it swatches pretty sheer but on my lips it is quite pigmented. The texture is the same as the stains, smooth and simply amazing, one of my favourite formulas, it also has an extremely mild mintiness to it.
I am pretty much in love with everything about this balm!!! The fat pencil is fantastic, never needs sharpening and really makes getting into corners and creating a neat and defined lip easy. The formal is smooth and leaves your lips feeling great, my lips were suffering from peeling and found that the balm helped quite a bit to help make them feel better while still wearing colour on my lips. As soon as I see a sale I plan on getting at least 2 more of these.

- ColorBurst LipButter in Provocative (lavender).

Overall I love the all the items and cannot wait until I create a great look using all of them. In the mean time here is a great face chart that Revlon put up on their site.
I love how festive this collection is and I have been wearing Rich as my polish the last few days and love the colour and how it shimmers. I also have been getting tons of complements on Embellished, the lip gloss.
I am going to try to get my hands on the LipButter before it sells out.
