Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Unapologetic Review, Swatch & Price in India
Hello Lovelies,
If you have been following me on Facebook then you’d know I had been planning to get inked and guess what? Yesterday, I finally took the plunge and got myself a lovely bow tattoo! Yes, it did hurt but it felt fine after 10 mins or so. I shall do a post on it soon but till then lets focus on this gorgeous Revlon Matte Balm called Unapologetic.
Don’t forget to check out All Revlon Matte Balm Swatches & Revlon Lacquer Balm Swatches, I also recently reviewed a gorgeous pinkish red from the lacquer range called Vivacious here.

Packaging
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms come in a chubby lip crayon packaging. It is retractable hence you do not have to sharpen it which saves alot of product. I love the color coded packaging which makes identifying a product so much more easier. Unlike the Revlon Lacquer Balms these have a matte finish which looks great!
Shade
Revlon Matte Balm Unapologetic is a super se*y and bright pink with a coral undertone. Its such a pretty shade which is perfect for summers and is bound to turn heads no matter where you go. This does have a slight neon undertone which screams summers! Unapologetic is also said to be a dupe of MAC Impassioned lipstick but since I don’t own it, I can’t really comment on it.
Texture
The first time I heard the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms have launched in India, I was sure I wouldn’t pick up any as I have extremely dry lips and matte lipsticks look horrible on me. However, upon swatching these I realized the Revlon balms are instead very velvety and creamy yet settle down into a suede matte finish which is quite comfortable to wear!
It does feel a bit dry after 4 hours or so on my extremely dry lips so I just dab a bit of my eos Lip Balm. The Revlon Matte Balms do not accentuate fine lines which is the biggest problem I have always faced with matte lipsticks/ crayons so a big yay for this!
Pigmentation
Revlon Matte Balms are highly pigmented and a swipe or two will give an opaque coverage.These are a boon for those with pigmented lips as it gives really good coverage. Unapologetic in particular gives a superb color pay off in a single swipe.
Staying Power
These Revlon Matte Balms really do score well on all aspects. The wear time is pretty impressive as it lasts upto 5 hours with snacks and drinks. After 5 hours it leaves a gorgeous strong pink lip stain hence it does not immediately require a touch up 😀
Worth the price tag?
The Revlon Lip Crayons are certainly quite pricey despite the fact that they score well on all aspects. Since every brand, ok barring Maybelline have been charging exorbitant prices I feel like there will come a time where we will just get used to these spending alot on makeup 😐
Pros
1) A bright pink with a coral undertone which screams summers
2) A velvety matte texture which is not drying
3) Does not accentuate fine lines
4) Superb wear time and stays put for about 5 hrs
5) Nicely pigmented which gives an opaque finish
6) A color coded matte packaging which looks so pretty and eases identification
Cons
1) Extremely Pricey
2) Might not suit the dusky beauties
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Revlon Matte Balm in Unapologetic is a bright and attention grabbing pink with a coral undertone. The shade is perfect for summers and the quality is impressive with a great staying power. The only con is the price but apart from that Unapologetic is worth buying!
