I have reviewed the shade Tease from the Revlon Lacquer balm range earlier
and today I’m going to talk about another shade I have from the range. I love the shade Tease very much... Vivacious
on the other hand wasn’t a love-at-first sight color...

Purple Lipstick from the drugstore : Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Shameless
I was looking through my YouTube
feed and all YouTube-gurus had come up with Valentine's day looks revolving around pink – pink eye
shadow, pink blush, pink lipstick. I was like, what ? No ! How boring, uninspiring & un-original. Are you really
gonna be wearing pink eye shadow and pink lipstick ?!? And why is there this pressure for Valentine ’s Day to be about wearing
pink? Last I checked, the universal color for love is RED. Anyways, this trend compelled me to bring something unique to your
feed– A purple lipstick.
Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm Tease (130) Review, Swatch
I never would have pegged myself for indulging in the Lacquer Balm range of Revlon, but the impressive performance of the Matte Balm Range (I got 3 shades) combined with the amazing online offers, I decided to try out the Lacquer range as well. Sadly, Revlon seems to be discontinuing the JBKBS range in India, and well before I could get a chance to try it out!

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Sultry (225) - Review, Swatches!
Hi everyone! Today I’m going
to talk about a product that has received lot of love from me of late and that
is the Revlon Matte Balm in the shade Sultry. When Revlon Matte Balms first
launched, I was turned off by their high price. But after swatching Sultry at
the counter I couldn’t resist buying it. See swatches and description of all matte balms here.
When I first tried it on, I didn’t know what to expect, and the lip swatches
were taken then itself. I didn’t know that I had to prep my lips, but lesson
learned, it’s a matte lipstick after all. Always exfoliate before you wear a
matte lipstick. Keep in mind that the lip
swatches are very zoomed in, and unless a person is just an inch away from
your lips, she won’t notice that much
detail.
What is matte balm? From my experience after
trying Sultry, I can say that it’s a non drying matte lipstick.
PACKAGING ~ It’s a chubby pencil with
the body having the same color as the color of the lipstick, so if you’re planning to build a collection you
can spot any shade easily. I like that the packaging is matte, it gives a more
sophisticated feel.
COLOR vs. SKIN TONE ~ Sultry is a nice dusky
pink color, under some types of lighting, it looks like a bright pink on my
lips. Its very flattering on my skin tone, it’s like a ‘pick-me-up’ lippie for me. The
color has a bit of mauve to it. It will suit fair to medium skin
tones. I have medium skintone and this color suits me perfectly. It doesn’t flatter my sister who is 2
shades darker to me, almost washes her out.
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint + Balm in 130 Don't Stop Blushing - Review, Swatches, Photos
*UPDATE: mybeautyexpress is now crazybeautyland.blogspot.com
Are you ready for the first review of 2014?
I
thought I’d start the makeup reviews by reviewing of one of the most popular
styles of lipstick last year, aka the crayon style. While this lipstick isn’t a
crayon, it’s unique in itself too. It’s a felt tip style, I’ve seen a similar
product in Maxfactor, but nowhere else. I think its quite novel but of course,
such a product has a fair share of drawbacks too. The product I’m talking about today is the Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000
Kisses Transferproof Lip Tint + Balm. I have the shade 130 Don’t Stop Blushing.
So sit back and relax, and let this review help you decide if you need such
a lipstick in your vanity.. or not.
Cost: Rs.555.
Qty: 2.3gm.
Shelf
Life: 12 months.
Instructions(printed on the crayon/pen):
Step 1:Apply the color on clean bare lips for
all day color
Step 2: Apply balm to add moisture and shine
once the color is dry.
Usage advice: If the tip does not work
correctly, wipe with a clean dry tissue.
My take on the product:
PACKAGING ~ You
know what this reminds me of? A marker. The kind my school and high school
teachers used, to write on a whiteboard.
It has a felt tip which releases the product on your lips, you know, like the
felt tip in markers. On one side you
have the felt tip which releases color and on the other side you have a balm.
The cap of the balm side is tricky, you can easily break off the entire balm
while pulling off the cap, which is why I’ve used the balm only once. The balm has shimmer in it. None of the
testers at the Rimmel counter had the balm part and my guess is because of the
tricky cap, if not the cap, its because the balm itself can easily break, like
any normal lip balm stick.
