Revlon ColourBurst Lacquer Balm Stain - Demure, 2 Feb. 2015

This lipstick is shaped rather like a crayon and is a soft,slightly shiny, pink in colour. The lipstick has a nice, moisturising feel to and the lip balm helps your lips feel soft – even when it is cold and windy out. It does apply quite lightly – so you need a few layers if you want the colour to really show. Also, it does need to be reapplied throughout the day, as it is not very long lasting. I think it could be described more as a soft lip balm, which also has some colour. However, as an everyday lipstick for work, it is fine and it feels very comfortable to wear. I really like the way this lipstick feels, even if you need to apply it more than once. The shade is subtle, so not really for when you are headed out on the town, but nice for daytime and good for my pale colouring. I have now tried a few of these lip balms and I have found that I have used them regularly during the day in preference to lipstick. If you are looking for something which will keep your lips...

A nice unpretentious lip balm, 28 Jan. 2015

My wife's review:This is an inexpensive and pleasant to use moisturising lip balm which is perfect for my lips as they have a tendency to dryness. The finish is not overly greasy and gives a nice shine without being glossy. This colour is essentially 'natural' for me and I quite like that. But of course there is a (fairly restricted) colour range.Potential buyers must not expect the product to be anything like as substantial as the length of the tube - think, say, a third or about 1.5 inches. But it's modest price makes that perfectly acceptable.A good economic option.

Nice lip balm. This colour suits fair complexions., 8 Feb. 2015

Over to the wife.

I used to wear Revlon make up but took a break from it because the quality was deteriorating but this is changing my mind about it again. It's a little weird. A balm in the shape of a pencil in a plastic housing-there is no actual pencil but you twist the silver bit at the end and more of it emerges, twist it the other way and it retracts again. I guess it does make for a more easy, mess free application (no digging into a pot with fingers) as you can just draw it on your lips a bit like chapstick or lipstick. The balm itself smells nice and it does the job of moisturising but probably not as well as Vaseline. The colour ("Demure") is a very light pink that I think would suit only very fair skin and not olive complexion like mine. It needs several applications to get the right amount on and will need topping up through the day as it's a balm.

So overall quite nice, but I will likely stick to the tinted Vaseline lip balms available as...
