Ok everyone,
I know a lot of people have already covered these Revlon balms probably a million times now, but I would hope that you will also enjoy hearing my thoughts and seeing the swatches I have included. Sometimes people hesitate buying an item because they don't know what to expect colour wise, we all know that frustration of "No Testers" at drugstore level. So thankfully if you can come on line to a blog that offers photos that are clear and true to colour it takes the guess work out of whether or not to buy the product.
Moving a long the two Matte balms I picked are 220 SHOWY & 205 ELUSIVE
Have a look
SHOWY
ELUSIVE
I really enjoy the matte balms, all though matte they do feel emollient on the lips, but can start to dry down after wearing them for a while so I add a dab of lip gloss on top to keep them moist just a tad longer. I love showy because it is a big bold colour, but Elusive is gorgeous for everyday use being a delicious pink nude and compliments most skin tones.
next up the lacquer balms and the colours are 110 COQUETTE & 135 PROVOCATEUR
COQUETTE
PROVOCATEUR
I think all the balms are very highly pigmented and creamy. I do feel a bit of grit from the glitter in the lacquer balms, but its not incredibly bothersome. The thing I have always liked since the introduction of the first "Just Bitten Kissable" balm stains is the very present minty taste and scent. I like products like this because it also helps to freshen breath as you wear it.
I have now revisited my kissable balm stain in the colour "Honey" since the new balms have come out, it made me recognize my neglected products sitting in drawers.
T2B- ELUSIVE, COQUETTE, SHOWY & PROVOCATEUR
If you like a product that delivers on colour, staying power and portability I highly recommend any of the Revlon balms, but I really like the "Matte Balms" best.
There are a lot of decent colour options within all three collections.
DO YOU LOVE THE REVLON BALM STAIN'S, LACQUER'S OR MATTE'S???
THANKS FOR READING
XXOO:)
Love these!!!! That red is gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt first I was a little uncertain I wanted the red, but now I am really glad I did end up with it because its the kind of red that can work for any season. Thanks for stopping by:)
DeleteI love these! I posted a review on this with my matte balm collection last December. I've never tried the lacquer ones because everybody talks about the glitter in it that stays on the lips, but yes the matte's are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes I do remember your review because I thought "Shameless" was great on you. Thanks for commenting and reading:)
DeleteI LOVE these! Elusive is one of my faves...heck all of the ones I own are getting a lot of love lately! I have one of the Lacquer's but I haven't worn it yet. It looked super glittery when I opened it, so I've stayed away from it. Maybe I'll wear it tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong the lacquers are still super gorgeous and for how nice they look on I can get past the glitter. The hard candy Glossholic I posted on IG yesterday has HUGE glitter in it and I wear that because its just to pretty to go to waste. Lol:) thanks for reading xo
DeleteYou selected all gorgeous colors! I honestly think that ALL of them are gorgeous (I had seen someone swatched all of them in two videos hehe). I only have two of the Matte Balms and Elusive is my favorite everyday pink! =D Great minds my love! Hehe! I am sure these all look beautiful on you too!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the minty-ness because it does help freshen the breath a bit haha! Thank you so much for sharing this with us love! XOXO
All of these are so beautiful! I have Provocateur, and it has been a favorite since I got it. It is taking so much will power not to go purchase more!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these too! I own 2 lacquer balms and 2 matte balms.
