Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balms (Coquette and Enticing)

Hey everyone!

      I finally picked up the new Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balms at CVS. I chose 150 Enticing and 110 Coquette. They retail around $9.49 - $10.49 in drugstores from what I saw. I have never tried a crayon- like lip balm so this was new and interesting to me.

Coquette is a soft, baby pink that should look flattering on most people. It is not too bright or overwhelming. I was a little weary that it might be too blue-toned but it surprisingly was not. It had a minty feeling when I first put it on that gave my lips a cooling sensation. Is this how lip plumpers feel like? It contains sparkles which you can see in the second picture above.

Enticing is a slightly deep, candy apple red. It's not too bright but very pigmented. I was worried that it would be too bright of a red but it wasn't and is a very flattering color. This also contains sparkles but they aren't very apparent on the lips. It appears a little more pigmented and darker on the lips than as shown in the picture above.

Pros:

• Moisturizing, not drying, not sticky
• Creamy and pigmented
• Nice, shiny packaging; easy to twist up and down
• No bleeding
• Easy to apply 
• Product

Cons:

• Not that great for dry lips, especially the lighter colors
• Staying power isn't very long, especially the lighter colors

They both do have a minty taste/ feeling to them, the Coquette one more so than Enticing for some reason. This could be a con for some people.

Overall, I was pleased with them. I think they're interesting products to try if you've never tried crayon lip products before. The formula and pigmentation exceeded expectations. Considering it is a balm and not a stain, the lasting power is about what you would expect of a lip balm. For the price though, I'd say wait for a sale or see if there is someplace that sells them for a little cheaper. So these are my thoughts, have a great day everyone!
