Hello fellow beauties!!!!! I'm back with another Buy & Try blog :) apparently matte and laquer lip products are becoming a big thing in makeup right now. First, I stumbled upon Loreal's La Laque and Le Matte lip crayons or lip sticks (whatever you would like to call them), and then I saw the display for Revlon's. At first, I wasn't so into getting any of the Revlon balms since I had already purchased some of the Loreal ones, but as always something always comes along...(clear my throat) YouTube...that peeks my interest and makes me cave. In this particular instance, I'm glad that I caved!
I didn't purchase any of the glossy shiny ones (sad that I'm not even aware of what they are actually called). I purchased only some of their matte shades. I'm seriously obsessed and loving these matte balms!!! I stuck with some reds and of course a pink but I decided to be a little daring and try out their purple shade, which believe it out not, l LOOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!! First off, these lip balms are said to be a matte finish. What I love about these matte balms is they come on so smooth and velvety. They don't make your lips feel extremely dry, they make they feel more moisturized. I'm someone that has some extremely dry lips especially during this time of year. Honestly, I thought the matte would make my dry lips look worse, but it was the complete opposite! I wasn't a huge fan of the Loreal Le Matte lip color on me but Revlon's is a whole different story. I only picked up 4 of the matte balms they had available.
#250 Standout, which is a classic red. The color on the tube is darker then the color that appears on your lips. #240 Striking, which is an orangish red color.
#220 Showy, which is a Barbie pink color. #215 Shameless, which is a medium purple color.
These retail for about $8.99/each (at my local Walgreens), but you know me and buying things at retail, rarely happens. I was lucky enough to get them on sale. First off, Walgreens had Revlon on sale for BOGO 1/2 off, and on top of that they had a $2 off coupon in their savings booklet, and I also had $1 off any revlon product. So, they basically cost me $4.75/each, almost 50% off the original cost....yayyyyyy me!!!!
Don't waste any time, pick some up. I have only seen these at my local Walgreens and CVS. Some people have seen them at Walmart (which they also retail for cheaper), but I have yet to see them at any of mine. It wasn't stated that they were limited edition or for limited time only, but the displays I came across didn't have many available, so I wouldn't wait too long just to be on the safe side. I love the color variations and the product in general is worth every penny!
