The packaging is almost the same as the Revlon Kissable Lip Balm Stain..the retractable chubby pencils..the outer finish is though matte and darker..

They have the same peppermint smell and flavour as the Lip Balm Stains..though these Matte Balms and the Lacquer Balms have a blend of 3 butters..Shea, Mango and Coconut..which makes them more hydrating and moisturising..

Matte lipsticks and balms are not easily available across all brands..MAC makes good matte lipsticks..Revlon has a matte range..but very selected matte lipsticks are that good and hydrating too..these are matte with a velvety finish.

Revlon has almost nailed it with these Matte Balms..pigmentation- check, matte texture- check, staying power- check. Almost all good qualities of a matte lipstick/lip product..only thing is its not completely transfer proof..and cannot be layered for touch up..as it can go patchy..it needs to be removed and reapplied..

L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic

225 Sultry is a deep pink brown..supposedly MAC Twig dupe..but I am not really sure.

210 Unapologetic is a bright reddish coral pink..dupe of MAC Lipstick in Impassioned (Impassioned its slightly deeper) and Party Parrot – Limited Edition (Almost similar.. 95%)

I think Unapologetic is also the most loved shade in the Indian blogosphere..I personally love it ! Totally brightens up the face.. Also wore it HERE.

U- Sultry, D- Unapologetic

Here are the shades on me..

L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic

Lips look a little drier with Unapologetic coz Sultry was removed completely which left lips little dry..

And an FOTD with Unapologetic..

Pros:

1. Love the velvetty matte look.

2. Amazingly pigmented.

3. Staying power is pretty good.

4. All 8 shades are quite pretty..there is one for everyone..red lovers, pink lovers, especially Unapologetic is beauty bloggers’ favorite !

5. Hydrating..even though its matte.

6. Feels light on the lips.

Cons:

1. Not transfer proof.

2. Cannot be layered as goes patchy.

Overall, I am in love with the feel and texture of these matte balms..they score on all levels..Highly recommended !

Unapologetic is my most worn shade these days..I also love Audacious, Striking and Elusive..oh I think I love all the shades..the colors are all fab..
