Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Swatches

I am a big fan of Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, so imagine the happy dance I did when Revlon rolled out the new Colorburst Matte and Lacquer Balms!

This post is just about the Matte Balms.

There are 10 *colors of rainbow* of them in this new range.

From Left to Right:
- 230 Complex
- 205 Elusive
- 225 Sultry
- 250 Standout
- 215 Shameless

From Left to Right:
- 220 Showy
- 240 Striking
- 210 Unapologetic
- 245 Audacious
- 235 Mischievous

I love the variety of colors in the range, from nudes to reds to pinks to daring purple!
You are bound to find one that suits you because they are so different from each other!

The packaging is the same as the Balm Stains.
Twist at the bottom to get more out.
I prefer lip balms that are of pencil style to have the twisty-mechanism-thing rather than me needing to sharpen them as I lose so much lip color every time I sharpen them lip gloss/balm pencils!

Oh and here are the swatches:

From Left to Right:
- 230 Complex
- 205 Elusive
- 225 Sultry
- 250 Standout
- 215 Shameless

From Left to Right:
- 220 Showy
- 240 Striking
- 210 Unapologetic
- 245 Audacious
- 235 Mischievous

 Pretty pigmented as well right?

The wear time is roughly the same as the Balm Stains. Depends how much you eat/drink the color will slowly fade away and it won't last a whole day.

Despite these balms being Matte, they didn't sink into the creases on my lip - must be because of their awesome balm formulation.
I also didn't need to wear a lip balm under these.

Best balm find so far this year.
Now that's a double score for Revlon as I also found the best lip glosses for this year from their spidey range.

The Revlon Electric Chrome Spider-Man Collection Super Lustrous Lipgloss Swatches

Hello!!!

I've been keeping an eye out for the new Revlon Spiderman Collection 2014 lately.
This collection boasts 6 gorgeous nail colours and 3 lip glosses.

The lip colours are so densely pigmented!!!
Look at them sparkle in the lip gloss tubes.

Also love the spider web design on the packaging.

*Droooooooool.......

And here are the swatches:

From Left to Right:
- Sparks Fly (orange-red coloured)
- Killer-Watt (reddish-purple)
- Electro-Shock (blue-green)

The glosses does not have a scent to it that I can smell.
It also isn't very sticky, which I like.

These are great to wear alone during the day or over lipsticks at night to amp-up the lip colour.

These are my best find for lip glosses so far this year...Such a must have for 2014!!!

Wild Ferns New Zealand Manuka Honey Soothing Lip Balm Review

This is one of the many lip balms I own.

It is probably one of my least favourite out of the bunch, let me tell you why...

Firstly, this Manuka Honey Lip Balm comes in a cute small plastic pot.
It is cute, but I do not like sticking fingers into a pot, so it sits around in my room and I only use it when my hands are clean.

It is made in New Zealand.

The Active AAH 650+ rating found on the pot is a measure of the anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties of this product. Not sure if these properties does anything for my lips....

The smell of this lip balm is absolutely wonderful, so fragrant, definitely reminds me of honey!
I usually do not like heavily fragrant products but this is an exception!

The texture is okay. 
It is not sticky, kind of like putting Vaseline on your lips but it lasts longer.

As you can see in the swatch it comes out clear as expected.

Now I'll get to why I don't particularly like this product....
It is labelled 'soothing', but for some reason every time I use it my lips get this tingly feeling and slightly swells up!
Great for me if I want Angelina Jolie lips but I do not like the tingly swelled up feeling!
It may be because of my sensitivity to products (I am allergic to SPF in lip products), and might not affect everyone else.

All-in-all, it is a great product if you don't have sensitive lips and is looking for something that smells great and moisturizing.

Repurchase? No... this tub is gonna last me a long time...
