Same Product, Different Colour - Revlon - Colorstay Ultimate - Liquid Lipstick - Premium Pink




This is a warm, mid-pink shade that looks shimmery in the tube but that doesn't translate to the look on.

It smells a bit like rum-soaked raisins.




It lasts a long time and is fairly eating/drinking resistant.


New Name: Kitten Heels

Revlon - ColorBurst - Lacquer Balm - Vivacious


The colour is amazing! 
And this is so moisturising.

Over nude lips.

It also has a soft minty scent, which is so pleasant.
The packaging is an easy wind-up.

It comes of when you eat/drink, but is otherwise long lasting.

But be warned, this is not kiss-proof at all! You will leave kiss marks on people/things.
It also stains the lips (which I personally like).

Price: 5/5 ($4.50)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick - Temptress



This is a lovely pink lipstick that I just love the shade of.
It is creamy and won't dry your lips.


On nude lips
However, it does apply patchy and has poor coverage :(
It also has a short lifetime, even without eating/drinking.

Over the ASAP Pure lip liner in 'Three'
Hmm, I need a softer pink lip liner for this one.

It's easier to get the Revlon Colorburst lip crayon in 'Elusive'.

Price: 2/5 ($22.95 for 4.2g)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Revlon - Ultra HD - Matte Lipcolour - Passion



This is a cooler toned red than the 'Passion' shade.



This one is less 'rich' than the other two I have tried, more translucent, and this saddens me.

Revlon - Colorstay Ultimate - Liquid Lipstick - Buffest Beige


I thought this would just be like a gloss... it's so much better!

It only has a faint scent, but smells a little like the fruit notes in brandy.

Art Break - Lipstick Gift for Miss Buttons

Miss Buttons really liked the look of the Revlon Ultra Matte liquid lipstick in 'Love' so I thought I would get her one.
I had to go to four different stores to find one, they are either popular or in low stock.

Next time we meet, we are going to wear pearls and be fancy ladies, so that gave me a theme for the packaging.
So I used a Bellabox





And painted the inside red, swirling the paint to look like a bed of rose petals.





For the outside, I was just going to cover it in pearls, but I didn't like the result.



meh

So I cut up some (biodegradable) plastic bag as petals and made a flower.



That's more like it!
I put some pearls in the middle of the flower as well.

To keep the lipstick in place, I glued down some single sticky sided foam (the sticky side facing up for the lipstick).



Once it was all dry, I stuck in the lipstick.



And we are done!



Verdict: She loved it! :D

Revlon - ColorStay - Ultimate Suede Lipstick - 095 Finale


I got this for free and I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

It is not very colour intense, you need to apply multiple coats to get good coverage.

Top: one pass.
Bottom: multiple passes. Note the uneven application.

Even then it isn't truly opaque, you cannot overdraw your lips with this!

It also tends to clump on any loose skin you have on you lips (if they are chapped) and fades off quicker from the mouth side of the lip than the skin side, leaving a not-sexy ombré.


However, it is true to its name. 
Not soap, nor food, nor hell or water will get this off!

This is my current go-to work lip, because it is a good colour for work and I don't want use a nicer lipstick! Hahahaha!

Price: 2/5 ($26.95 for 2.55g of disappointment)
Scent: 2.5 (nothing noticeable)
Effectiveness: 0.5/5
