Revlon have recently brought out a new lipstick range called ColorBurst and it looks like this:
I know, it looks like a crayon but it acts like a lipstick. Amazing. The range comes in a Lacquer Balm which has a more moisturised, glossy effect and a Matte Balm which is has an opaque, matte finish. I'm going to review the
Revlon Matte Balm in shade 220 Showy which is a blue based hot pink colour.
As far as drugstore makeup brands go, I find Revlon to be at the top end of the market, I have used their foundations before and was very pleased, so I felt confident going back to them. Also, at only £7.99 this lipstick is pretty reasonably priced. I had been looking for a matte hot pink lip colour for ages so I went on a hunt. After trying loads of different brands and colours I settled on this one simply because I liked the colour best and it was matte.

Application: Firstly I moisturised with a thin layer of lip balm (I used
Lucas' PawPaw ointment which is one of my favourite beauty products of all time) and then used a Barry M
lip pencil in Fuchsia under the lip colour to map out my lips and make sure the colour would last all day. Lastly I applied the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in 220 Showy. I used a lip brush to apply the lipstick just because I personally find it more accurate than using straight from the stick but either method is fine.

Result: The Matte Balm felt like velvet on my lips and went on very smoothly and the finished product looked fantastic. It felt really moisturising whilst still giving a matte effect which is very hard to find and I found that it was very light and not at all sticky to touch. Mine did last a long time but I do think that the lip liner may have had something to do with the lipsticks longevity. All in all I'd definitely recommend it and am looking forward to trying out some of the other colours in this range!
