Quick lip balm review(really dry lips)

Some raved about lip balms:
Nivea moisture renew 8/10
EOS lip balms 6/10
Chapstick(original)7/10
Blistex 5 start lip protection 2/10
Carmex(not good for constant use only one day uses) 7/10
Burts bees 8/10
Blistex Moisture renew 10/10

ok so i have extremely dry chapped lips during the summer winter..year long. I use Blistex Moisture renew and after a couple of days my lips were significantly better. Its the only lip balm i'll use because it is the best. I will use carmex for a party or something to make my lipstick look better but carmex doesnt improve you lips;it only works as long as you're wearing it. Nivea annoyed me because if i touched the wet part of the inner lip i felt like it spread that all over my lips. Eos lip balms just didnt seem to work on me at all though i do love the mint smell of the blue green one. Burts bees was ok and it worked well if i build it up on my lips but i didnt want to build it up so many times. 5 start lip protection i feel like it made my lips drier and was not a good experience. Chapstick ill only wear at night so i can do like 10 coats on my lips and the next morning wake up with ok lips.(keep in mind my lips are extremely dry and chapped) Comment on any lip balms you think are awesome.

Revlon Matte Powder Blush (8/10)

There's not much on revlons matte powder blush that i have seen and i have heard a couple of negative reviews on the color pay off. My friend was looking for a new matte blush so i picked it up to try it for her.

              First of all the packaging is ok and i've dropped it a couple of times and even though its plastic it hasn't cracked or broken. It comes with a decent sized mirror for blush; so i would just use it for retouching or if you dont want to carry a compact. The brush it comes with is super soft unfortunately it doesn't grab a lot of product so its ok if you dont want to carry a brush or buy one. It will take a couple of sweeps to get the product on with this brush.
              Next the actual product. With a good brush its amazing. It's very build able and I love the color.  It starts off invisible then goes to light pink then pink. I have 002 Blushing Berry and its really pink. By really i mean trully pink. Its not red, berry, peachy its true pink. Its one of the most natural looking blushes i've ever seen. Overall i really like it especially the natural color but i could see people disliking that you have to build it up a little to see some color, but even after that it looks great and smooth.
