This has been my go-to lip product for the past year!!! The colour selection is great in my opinion and I love the packaging. The Crayon look makes it very easy to glide on lips even without a mirror or lipliner.
These Lippies are the best!!! I wish they were a little bit more affordable though but since the quality is excellent, I pay what I need to. These really feel like a balm on your lips...light and easy to wear. Moisturising and non-drying! I have about 6 of them and I love them all the same! You need one in your bag always. They are low maintenance and are long lasting without flaking or drying.
They have a slight minty smell which I adore in lip products (they could have added some more mint here :)) and this adds a little tingle to the lips. I can't think of a better lip product for summer or ladies who are not big fans of lipsticks but might like some colour to their pouts. I will always adore this product. Sultry is the best everyday colour I have seen in a long time.
I got onto the band wagon a bit late but when i did, i wasn't disappointed at all
I purchased the color 'Honey Douche', a very wearable, everyday pink
I have thick lips and i cannot go very long without using Lip Ice so i was impressed to find out that this product doesn't dry out my lips but keeps them moisturized, in turn i use it a lot more often than what i do any of my other lip products when going out...
It's affordable and comes in an array of color's
Matte colorburst in 205 has become my go-to lip balm recently. I love the soft shade of pink which compliments a number of looks & occasions.
I found that it hadn't last me as long as I hoped it would but with a little bit of concealer before application and a few strokes of balm over that was the end of that problem.
I love these balms and have been using it for some time now because it feels so good on the lips .I have it a bright pink color and it looks gorgeous .more importantly it is quite moisturising and lasts relatively long.
So I am not a fan of bright lip color and I generally prefer glosses as they give color without being too deep. I bought this and I am sold its soft going on, it moisturizes my lips and the color goes on evenly but it’s not too intense. It’s perfect for work day lip color; it is an elegant and pretty piece.
The shade as well works well with my skin tone. I am no exploring other colors in this range
Love these lipbalms,the colour shades are amazing.When i feel fierce and on top of the world i put on the purple shade(shameless) or unapologetic(brightpink),i love them but i just wish they lasted longer cause i have to re-apply them many times.
Absolutely love! Can't live without it. Its a. Bit pricey (because I'm an unemployed part-time student) but worth every penny. Its like its stays on forever! Eat drink and it stays on!
I received one of these from a friend and its a really nice product, glides on easily , very moisturizing and smells great but I didn't like how it stained my lips even after removing my make up , my lips still had a color to it - felt like I couldn't get it off
I love this balm. These were a HUGE hitter in the beauty world and for a good reason. The formula was highly improved from the original Revlon Just Bitten range yet with the same yummy minty smell. The colour glides on smoothly and it lasts for ages. I would suggest this in the colour Complex (nude) as it is so sleek and sheen and you can wear it with any eye makeup.
CLAIMS:
Let's take a look at what the product claims to do and whether or not it lives up to these claims.
**Velvety Matte Color**
I have developed a strong liking for a matte finish on the lips, and in my opinion - the Colorburst Matte Balm, doesn't deliver as well as I had hoped it would.
**Balm like feel**
When I was applying the balm onto my lips, it almost felt like I was applying a bit of buttery cream onto my lips. When it's on my lips, they feel moisturized - just like when I wear lip balm.
PIGMENTATION:
Due to the fact that I have darker skin, the balm is a lot more pigmented on my lips and I love it!
FINISH/TEXTURE:
The formula of this balm, gives it a buttery creamy texture with a minimal matte finish.
LASTING POWER:
I am yet to wear this for a full day to test how long it lasts. The longest I have worn it was 2 hours and it was quite hard to take it off. I am going out on a limb here and saying it will probably last you a full day, with one or two minor touch ups required?
PACKAGING:
The packaging complements the balm color and the matte finish. I view it as being sleek and elegant, but not unique as this type of packaging seems to appear on pretty much all balm crayons nowadays.
PRICE/AVAILIBILITY:
I purchased this balm from Edgars and I paid R120.
From what I've seen online, you can buy it at just about any store worldwide that sells drugstore makeup. You can also opt to purchase it online.
LIKES:
The balm has a strong pepperminty scent to it.
It does not dry out my lips.
The color is quite bold.
This color can be worn by women of all complexions.
DISLIKES:
When I applied the balm, for a second I had a burning sensation on my lips due to the pepperminty vibe.
The finish is not quite as matte as I had hoped.
OVERALL:
For the amount of money that was spent on the balm, I would say that it was a good buy and I got my money's worth. I am definitely in the process of considering going to the store and purchasing another matte balm in a different shade.
