Revlon Striking Matte Balm: Review + Swatches

I think I will post a review on one of these each day this week, today I am talking about the matte red ""Striking" shade. These retail for around $8.99 but can always be found on sale and with coupons, I believe I got this down to about $5.
It is a bright true red.
When just applied it goes on like the regular line, but it does dry down matte. 

  • Classic red shade
  • Brightens/ whitens teeth color
  • Very long lasting
  • Not drying since balmy formula
  • It is a ""Striking" shade
  • Feels silky on lips
