For me, summer makeup is all about bright lips! I am not into tanning and bold eye looks still scare me so whenever I want to jazz up my look, I opt for a bold lip color. At the same time, though, I don't like wearing full coverage, opaque lipsticks in the summer because it can feel a little too heavy and overdone so that's where the Revlon lip crayons come in!
Today I have a few swatches of my fave shades from the ColorBurst and Just Bitten Kissable lines to share with y'all, to see some swatches, click......
Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm:
The ColorBurst Lacquer Balms are a line of high-shine lip crayons that provide superb moisturization and a more translucent color. These sit super comfortably on the lips and are virtually weightless.
Tease: This shade is a gorgeous sheer tangerine. For those that love orange lips but don't want to go for a crazy neon orange, Tease makes the perfect wearable orange.
Vivacious: This one is a super intense bright hot pink with a gorgeous sheen, it is hands down my favorite of all the Revlon lip crayons.

For those that prefer a more pigmented formulation with a modern matte finish, the Matte Balms are definitely worth checking out . The colors pack some serious punch but they aren't too forgiving of dry lips so exfoliate well before applying.
Audacious: This one is a super fun orange-y coral (Tease's matte sister), I love that it's orange without being too crazy.
Unapologetic: Vivacious' matte counterpart, Unapologetic is a very bright matte pink. The color leaves a nice stain as well, so even after it wears off, you still get a nice wash of color.

The Just Kitten Kissable balms are among the first lip crayons Revlon released and they have the best formulation in my opinion. Like the Lacquer Balms, these colors have a glossy sheen but they also leave the lips tinted so the color lasts longer.
Love Sick: This is a beautiful pink with a bit of violet undertones, right on trend for 2014. The finish is just beautiful and it makes the lips look plumper as well!
