Hi Guys,
I've been so excited for these to launch in the UK! Now they're here!, Plus they're a week early! They technically don't launch in the UK till the 22nd of January, but they're online at Boots.com and I found some in store!
Theyve brought out two new types to go with the originals, Matte and Lacquer. There are in the Matte Range and then in the Lacquer Range, I think I may have a new love in these!
Demure is a very sheer light pink and after looking at one or two of these in store they seem to have a slight shimmer in the bullet, when swatched though its not like a shimmer and glitter overload it just looks glossy and shiny sort of like a gloss, basically exactly what it says on the tin. The packaging is lovely, I'd say they definitely look more high end than they are. The only downside is they're a nightmare to photograph haha!
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 205 Elusive
Out of the Matte offerings I picked up Elusive which is more creamy and just what it says, matte. The packaging a long side it is also matte, which I love, I do find it doesn't slip when you hold it as much, not that that's usually a problem anyway. The actual shade for me is just sort of like a your lips but better yet matte shade haha. its a light Rosie pink, I'd say its more brown toned.

(Swatches: Left to Right - Demure and Elusive)
I really want to pick up Complex from the Matte Line which is a nude and Standout also Matte which is a red, but do I really need another red matte lipstick? I will definitely need to get my hands on Complex though! They both also have a peppermint scent to them which is rather nice.
Both are available at Boots.com for £7.99 - HERE

I ordered 3 of these the other day, the lacquer balm in the shades Demure and Coquette and Standout from the matte range - it's a really gorgeous deep red! You are right about them being a nightmare to photograph though ;) x

Loving the look of these, looks so good and well pigmented. I prefer crayony type lipsticks as well because I find them easier to apply! Lovely review!
