Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms Review, Swatches

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms Vivacious, Ingenue, Tease Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: High Shine Lacquer. Moisture Rich Balm

A lacquer finish that’s beyond brilliant. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors

EXPERT TIPS LIPS: For a polished and perfect lip look, apply foundation on and around the lips before lip color. Foundation helps to prep the lip area for a more flawless application and helps lip color last longer.

MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g

Shades Available: 8

  • Vivacious
  • Ingenue
  • Whimsical
  • Flirtatious
  • Tease
  • Coquette
  • Enticing
  • Coy

I guess Demure and Provocateur are not launched in India.

Both these Lacquer Balms and the Matte Balms launched together..see the review and swatches of the Matte Balms HERE.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms come in a beautiful glossy metallic packaging. These are glosses in the form of lip crayons..super glossy but still pigmented.

If compared to the Revlon ColorBurst Kissable Balm Stains, these are more lighter in texture and glossier.

The composition of three butters Shea, Mango and Coconut make these super hydrating and moisturising..

They are quiet light in texture..you do not feel like you have applied anything on lips..feels like a lip balm. These are quiet pigmented..the swatches are just one swipe..and after the glossines fades away..the color stays for more hours..especially the deeper colors like Vivacious here.

These have the same peppermint smell like in Kissable Balm Stains and Matte Balms. All of the shades have super fine minute shimmer which is not even visible unless seen very very closely..but this helps giving the shades that glossiness and high shine.

L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious

145 Ingenue is a perfect MLBB shade for me..a nude brown..its an everyday shade.

130 Tease is a beautiful coral orange..it looks amazing on warm skin tone..my favorite of the 3..also wore it HERE.

120 Vivacious is a pretty rosy pink (None of those fuchsias or blue undertone pinks)

Here are the swatches..

T-B: Vivacious, Tease, Ingenue

And here are they on moi..

L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious

And an FOTD with Vivacious..

Pros:

1. Super glossy.

2. High pigmentation.

3. Moisturising.

4. Deeper colors stay longer.

5. Like the glossy packaging.

6. All 8 shades are quiet nice..there is one for everyone.

7. Feels quiet light on lips.

Cons:

1. Little expensive.

2. Not transfer proof.

3. Lighter colors don’t stay that longer.

Overall, I would say I like the light texture and glossines..and the shades too..all three and in fact all 8 are pretty and nice..and perfect for all occasions..the one like Ingenue works for your everyday wear, formal wear too..Tease is a must have according to me..my favorite of the three..it looks beautiful on warm skin tones like ours..Vivacious is a clean, pretty rosy pink..one of the natural pinks..that would look good on everyone..I recommend all three !  In fact Flirtatious, a nice deeper pink and Enticing, a pretty red, are also nice shades from this collection. If you are a red lover..or want to try reds..you can try something glossy and light like Enticing.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms Review, Swatches

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms Sultry and Unapologetic Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm

A Matte finish that’s beyond plush.Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors.

MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g

Shades Available: 8

  • Elusive
  • Sultry
  • Unapologetic
  • Shameless
  • Audacious
  • Mischievous
  • Striking
  • Standout

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..

Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks Seafoam,Copper Review,Swatches

Revlon ColorStay® ShadowLinks Seafoam, Copper Review, Swatches

Remember I had shared the new of Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks first on my blog HERE. So today let us review 2 of those shades..out of the 20.

With new Revlon ColorStay® ShadowLinks, now you can create your own customized palette of possibilities. Each individual eye shadow easily snaps together to create your own unique combination every time. Choose from an array of 20 shades with rich color pay-off, in a variety of finishes from soft matte to satin to high sparkle.

Bone, Oyster, Sand, Taupe, Candy, Lilac, Plum, Egg plant, Seafoam, Periwinkle, Peacock, Gun metal, Lime, Khaki, Gold, Melon, Silver, Copper, Java, Onyx

RETAIL PRICE: Rs.175/- for 1.4g

To start with, I loved this concept of mix and match and create your own palette..you get to customize your own shades..and create your own duos, trios and quads..you can detach and attach it however, whenever you want, for travel, etc too..And you get different finishes and different types of colors..from neutrals to pastels to brights..

The small black single shadow..has a slider on both sides..where another eyeshadows can be slid and clicked to attach..the packaging is quite cute too..

Clicked together

All shades have different pigmentation and staying power..some are more pigmented while some are drier or sheerer..

130 Seafoam is a pastel bluish mint..its decently pigmented..and stays for 4-5 hours..I am not into pastel eyeshadows much..but if you like pastels, you should check this out..

260 Copper is a sheer true copper..it needs to be builded up..its a kinda of shade you can wear as it is with just a winged liner when you want to emphasize more on lips..like a good warm neutral..and would look great with Indian outfits..it stayed for a good 4-5 hours and without any creasing..without a primer too.

Here is an EOTD with the shade Copper..

Pros:

1. Nice mix and match and customization concept.

2. Cute packaging.

3. Quite economical.

4. 20 shades to choose from.

5. Different finishes from matte to shimmer.

6. Stayed well for 4-5 hours without primer and without any creasing.

Cons:

1. Some shades are drier and sheerer..not all have good pigmentation.

Overall, I would say I quite like them..but check individual shades and their pigmentation before making your customized palette..

I love Onyx, Eggplant, Java and Taupe..eyeing those 😀

Revlon ColorStay Eyeshadow Quad Seductive Review, Swatches

Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Quad 530 Seductive Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Silky smooth, blendable powder shadow that won’t crease fade or smudge.Wears up to 16 hours. Color coordinated quads provide expert mix and match ability for your most gorgeous eyes ever. Available in 16 beautiful quads. Ophthalmologist tested. Non-irritating.

EXPERT TIPS EYES
1. Dust highlighter all over eye and up to brow bone to create a base
2. Sweep lid shade on eyes from lash line to crease
3. Use accent shade on outer corners to create drama
4. Contour eyes by applying deepest shade in crease

MRP: Rs.730/- for 4.8g

Shades Available:
  • Decadent- Copper and golds
  • Seductive- Purples
  • Luscious- Greens
  • Goddess- Pinks and greys
  • Siren- Black and greys

There are only these 5 I can see available in India 🙁 


They come in a normal quad packaging with a transparent see through lid..that helps identify one from other..and has a dual sided sponge tip applicator. The backside has instructions on how to use and which shade goes where.

There are mostly lilacs and purples in this quad.. 530 Seductive has one off white highlighter, a satin finish light lilac pink, a matte lilac blue and a satin finish deep purple. The deep purple is my favorite.

These are just one swipe each..so as you can see they are good at pigmentation and are super soft..they just kinda melt on touch..but one also has to be very careful..as they would break into pieces if fallen even once.

They stay on for a good 6-7 hours without a primer and more so with a primer. I liked the pigmentation, staying power and the shades..and very less options available in India in eyeshadows, so this is definitely a good bet.

Pros:

1. Nicely pigmented.
2. Soft and smooth in texture.
3. Stays well for a good amount of time.
4. Color combinations are pretty good.
5. Do not crease or fade easily.

Cons:

1. Only 5 quads available in India.
2. Little expensive.

Overall, I would say these are good to have. And some combos are pretty good. I really like Decadent too. Recommended !

Revlon ColorStay Makeup Fresh Beige Review, Swatches

Revlon ColorStay Makeup Normal/Dry Skin Fresh Beige Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: With patented “won’t rub off” technology, your ColorStay® makeup looks beautifully fresh all day with up to 24 hour wear and stays on your face, not your clothes.

People will be asking you what your secret it is to your smooth natural skin that lasts all day, every day. No touch ups required.

FEATURES/BENEFITS/KEY INGREDIENTS

Breakthrough patented SoftFlex™ comfort technology provides a cushioning polymer complex that is so lightweight and comfortable, you will forget you are wearing makeup.
Patented “won’t rub off” technology, does not rub off on clothing
Helps even out skin tone and texture for a smooth, flawless finish.

Normal/Dry – a moisture-balanced formula.
Shades:  Ivory, Buff, Sand Beige, Nude, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, Fresh Beige, True Beige and Natural Tan

MRP: Rs.875/- for 30ml

It comes in a pump dispensor packaging now..so no fuss with the bottle. It has a black pump and is easy to use..only the quantity that comes out is a little too much. 



Fresh Beige is slightly lighter for me..Natural Beige or Medium Beige would have worked better..and also I have a combination skin..and I am trying out the one meant for Normal/Dry skin 😀

The coverage is pretty good..its medium to high as you build up. I really liked the staying power..it stayed whole day..and very minimal powder touch up required. And also its transfer proof..does not transfer on tissues or on anyone’s clothes :p


The Normal/Dry skin one also needs a moisturiser beneath for winters..but in summers, this will work well..Combination/Oily formula might give a matte finish and coverage.

Here is my pic with only the foundation..no concealer or powder..


It photographs well..but if your flash is too bright, then you need to balance it with a powder having yellow tones..as it does have SPF 20.

For the price tag and qty and being high coverage..its one of the best foundations in the market right now.



Pros:

1. Comes in 9 shades..only drugstore foundation that has 9 shades in India.
2. Comes in 2 formulas..for dry and oily skin.
3. Convenient easy pump packaging.
4. Easily available at all counters.
5. Does not transfer.
6. Provides high coverage.
7. Stays put all day long with hardly any coverage required.
8. Economical for the quantity and coverage and the benefits.
9. Has SPF 20.

Cons:

1. Has silicones..but did not break me out.

Overall, I would say..this foundation is the first one in India that women can choose according to their skin type and perfect shade match (with 9 shades available). And its long staying and gives good coverage too and it feels super light. Highly recommended !
