Revlon Color Burst Matte Balm

LIPSTICK REVIEW!!! These are probably my most favorite reviews other than skincare. Its because I am just in love with lipstick. I am fearless because at the end of the day, its just lipstick. there is no need to think "is this color too much?" why not wear the bold lip-- who cares! It does help the fact that I live in New York City and I always feel like here you can do no wrong with anything whether its clothes or makeup. You can't look crazy here in New York. I guess I am more daring here than I am in Puerto Rico just because here in NY its a different style but rest assured whenever I go to Puerto Rico, I wear my bold lipsticks and OWN IT! A lot of my friends especially +Madeline Mulero think its great that I have the guts to pull off MAC Heroine or LimeCrime Pink Velvet. I have to say, I just wear them, thats it. I don't really think about it. Now you can't really go all crazy and have a smokey eye and a bold lip if you are just going to work. I balance it out with just mascara and maybe a liner and thats it. My eyes are usually downplayed so that my lips can pop. 

I went to the drugstore and I wanted to see what Lipsticks I can for a recent trip I took to Puerto Rico and when I look for lipsticks, I want something on the matted finish and if it has any shine I would go for the satin finish but other than that, I am not a fan of gloss. I think they look kind of messy on your lips. When I think good drugstore lipsticks, I go straight to Loreal or +Revlon. I've been eyeing the Revlon Color Burst Matte balm lip crayons and I decided to take the plunge. I went for the color UnApologetic. This color is a great vibrant coral, raspberry pink color. It is gorgeous! It goes on smooth and immediately you feel that it has like a chapstick minty feeling which is nice. Nothing tingly like if it were to plump your lips but a regular chapstick feeling. The color is vibrant which I like. I am excited to wear it when I am in Puerto Rico and have a tan. This color is probably a little bit of a dupe for +NARS Satin Crayon in Lohdi but the Revlon is more vibrant and not as muted. 

This retails from around $7-9 depending on where you get it. I recommend maybe waiting until you can get it on sale but either way I think these lipsticks are worth it. I will definitely go back and get more. You can get these in most drugstores and other stores like Walmart or Target.

Nars Satin Crayon in Timanfaya

If you've been reading my blog posts you will know that I am totally in love with a bold lip. I feel like in the Summer you will notice that it is just too hot to cake on your foundation and just put a lot of makeup on. That doesn't mean that you don't wear makeup. I don't think I would ever not wear makeup. I try to always stay trendy with my makeup and one of the things that you will always see in Beauty Magazines are that a bold lip is the way to go for summer. Your skin should be nice, natural and dewy nothing too harsh. Everything sheer when thinking about summer. I like to do that also. I usually go for a nice glow on my cheeks and a bold lip with a little bit of mascara. 

If you've read some of my posts in the past. I've raved about Nars lip crayons. They have different finishes available but I personally stick to the velvet finish which are the ones that are more matte and then my second favorite is the satin finish which is a little bit more creamy but still matte enough to not be a gloss. Lately I've been looking for another type of bold lipstick color because I've noticed that I have either hot pinks or purples which isn't really bold if thats your normal color. I decided that since its summer I would go for more of an orange color. After asking around and trying on different colors I decided to stick with the Nars Satin Crayon in Timanfaya. This is a mandarin bright orange color which is the boldest of all bold color. I am going to be going to Puerto Rico in a week and I figured that this color would be amazing with a tan. If anyone can pull this color off it would definitely be me. 

If you are looking for something bold, something that will make you stand out, I think you can't go any bolder than this color. It retails for $25 and you can purchase it in +Sephora in stores or online. You can also find these in +NARS Cosmetics store fronts around the US.

Top 5 Lips Products

So if you are a Twitter user or a Youtuber you will notice that there are tags that go around. Like #Top10Thingsabtyou or things like that. Lately one of the tags that has been going around is Lip Product addict. I am a total lipstick addict. I have dozens of different colors and different products. For me, I love to plan my makeup around my lipsticks. I usually try to go for something bold since I love having a really bold lip in the Spring or in the Winter then for Summer and Fall, I like to go a bit more sheer. I can review my top 5 lip products. In no particular order here are my faves.

First favorite lip balms is the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. I use this balm every single night and every night. This product is like a super chapstick. Its comes in a little pot so you definitely have to use your finger to apply. When you apply it has a matte finish which is different and you think wouldn't hydrate but I find it very hydrating. It has a thick consistency and it smells like honey which is very faint. You barely smell it once you apply it to your lips. It retails for about $18 and you can find it in drugstores. 


Second favorite lippies are the Nars Crayons. I love lipstick in a crayon form. I think they are easier to apply and they just look cooler. +NARS Cosmetics has different finishes but my favorite is the velvet finish which is a nice matte color. I have a couple of them and I love the color Sex Machine since its a nice nude everyday color which is very easy to wear. You can first line your lip with the pencil and then fill it in. Its more like an all in one lip product. I love the array of different colors they have. I definitely need to get more of these since I am in love with the few that I have. They retail for about $25 and you can find them in +Sephora or anywhere they sell Nars products. 


Third favorite lipstick is the LimeCrime Velvetines. These lipsticks come in a lip gloss packaging. They aren't very mainstream as they cannot be found in stores. I bought mine in IMATS NYC but you can also purchase online. I honestly didn't know what to think about these matte lipsticks and I bought the pink velvet one and OMG my life has changed. I need every color and I need backups. This is my signature color in life and this is what matte lipstick should look like. When you put the lipstick on it goes on first as liquid and then you just have to make sure that it dries and then you don't feel like you have anything on your lips. These retail for about $20 and can be found online on limecrime.com or Urban Outfitters online page.

Forth favorite lipstick is MAC Heroine. This lipstick was limited edition and now its released into the mainstream again and I believe is now a permanent color. Its a matte finish and its purple. I love purple lipstick! When its done well, it looks amazing! This color is so pigmented that you can pat it on your lips for just a hint of color or you can apply it heavy and get that full purple look. Also, I change it up by adding a pink lip liner and this makes it more of a purple pink and its just overall a gorgeous lipstick. If you don't have it and you are looking for a daring bold lip, I recommend this one. It retails for $16 and you can find it in any MAC store or major department store. Unfortunately you cannot find it in Sephora.

Fifth and final favorite lip product is the ELF Lip Scrub. This is a lip balm in form of a lipstick and it has scrubbing sand in it so that as you apply it, you exfoliate your lips. This is probably the best invention ever! Best thing is that the scrubbing sand is like sugar so it tastes really good. It makes your lips really soft and for $3 its probably the best lip exfoliator/scrub thats on the market. You can find this in Target or anywhere you can find ELF products. I bought mine on their website.

I hope you like my top lipsticks. These are definitely in no particular order but if I had to say from these what's my to die for product? Its probably the LimeCrime Velvetine in Pink Velvet and a close second is the Nuxe Reve de Miel. Do you have any to die for lip products? Let me know!
