Getting Flirtatious with the Revlon Lacquer Balm and Comparisons with Matte Balm and Balm Stain

March 24, 2014 Paris B 28 Comments

First, we had the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains that had people clearing out the Revlon counters. Then, a few months later, it was the Matte Balm and again, whoosh! The displays were cleared out faster than you can say “Revlon has done it again!”.

Rounding off the trio is the Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm. Ostensibly therefore, this is one to pacify the crowd who prefers having a shine on their smackers.

As the name implies, the Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm is a high shine lip colour that gives your lips a lacquered finish while feeling comfortable, like a balm. To stress this point further, the body of the lip crayon sports a shiny surface, and the colour of the body reflects the colour of the lip colour, which makes it easy to pull out the exact colour you want quickly.

I spotted these at a pharmacy a while ago and tested them at the counter but I was not impressed. Most of the shades available, while indeed giving you that high shine and lovely slip expected of something called a “Lacquer Balm”, sported glitter and sparkles and boy! I’ve outgrown all that 😛

One or two weren’t as blessed by the glitter fairy and thankfully, Flirtatious is one of them. I’ve got some swatches and thoughts on this but more importantly, I’ve also decided to give a quick comparison with the Just Bitten Balm Stain and the Matte Balm just to point out the similarities and differences of each so settle in for a bit of a read 🙂

Swipe on some Sultry and be a Standout with the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

February 24, 2014 Paris B 47 Comments

You know, I know you all blame me for being an enabler (What can I say? I’m good at it… I guess? hehe) but you know what? I’m not immune either and friends, fellow bloggers and that damned Instagram take the cake! So, after seeing friend, fellow blogger and Instagrammer Lyn of Beautycabby (all 3 enablers rolled into one – it’s no wonder I caved!) rave about the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms, away I went to the local Revlon display at Watson’s to take a look.

Not just a look, I picked one up and I wanted to see how I liked it or if it would be enough. You see, I don’t particularly go for matte lipsticks. I’m now leaning towards wearing more matte eyeshadow and even blush, but matte lipstick can age a person somewhat.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Left: Standout Right: Sultry

We get 8 shades here in Malaysia and to my (and most people’s surprise) the one I picked out for myself was Sultry. I know, most of you would have expected me to pick Standout, right? Right?! 😀 Well, so did the Revlon peeps coz I received Standout a couple of weeks ago 😛

How do you distinguish the Matte Balm from the other Revlon Colorstay Just Bitten Balm stain that I also like? Simple. The body of the Matte Balm pencils are matte. In case you are confused, there is also a sticker on the base of the pencil that says “Matte” so you don’t make a mistake.

Importantly, how do these hold up? Are they too matte? Do they make me look old? Does it dry out my lips as many matte pencils do? Do you like these? 😀

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation, applied properly, has me whipped up into a frenzy

December 18, 2013 Paris B 40 Comments

Whipped cream makes me think of a few things – strawberries (and cream), cakes, pies… hardly foundation. Does the idea of light fluffy white moist cream bring to mind a beige coloured product you’d apply to your face as opposed to shovelling it into your tummy? I thought not!

But this is precisely what Revlon called their Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup foundation.

Like a cream, it comes in a heavy glass jar which is really unique I thought. It might be why I picked up a tub the first time I saw it at the display shelves all those months ago. It was just too different to pass up! Wait, was this launched last year? Or perhaps early in 2013? I can’t remember anymore, but I can tell you that I’ve owned this one for a while and that I surprisingly like it!

If you’re a fan of full coverage foundation then I do believe this is one to check out. Whilst it gives full coverage, I wear it as a light-medium coverage foundation and it performs very well for me. Truly when it comes to pharmacy brand foundation, barring that error in judgement that was the Revlon Mousse foundation, I’ve thus far had nothing but success with Revlon.

Lipstick lovers of Super Lustrous Shine need look no further than Revlon

December 2, 2013 Paris B 30 Comments

Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks and I go back a long way. I discovered it at about the same time that I’d discovered makeup (late in life, to be honest) and I used to own so many! My favourite was Berry Rich and I remember how Cherries in the Snow was highly raved. Gosh, takes me back!

What I liked about Super Lustrous lipsticks was how creamy and moisturising they were, yet how pigmented. Definitely one of the best drugstore lipsticks ever made and I’m happy that they haven’t messed about with it too much. But what Revlon did recently was introduce a Super Lustrous Shine formula.

I’d spotted it in the pharmacy one day while browsing, and after swatching the colours, picked up 835 Berry Couture, which is the sort of colour I like wearing on lips. I was later sent 801 Pink Cloud which made me wrinkle my nose at it, but I did swatch it for purposes of comparison and comment.

The new Super Lustrous Shine lipsticks will either be love or hate for you. If you didn’t notice that this is the “Shine” formula then you will be most disappointed at how the colours turn out because they are sheerer than the regular pigmented Super Lustrous lipsticks. The formula is lightweight, they are lovely and moisturising and the colours tend to be a little sheer. But, if you like lipsticks that are sheer and have that lipstick-lipbalm hybrid texture, boy are you in for a treat! 😀

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
