PR: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick




Apparently I'm just in a review mode, because here comes another one!  This isn't going to be a review on a particular color so much as just the lipsticks in general, although I haven't tried them all. So I guess this is a review on two lipsticks.

The lipstick colors I've tried are Pink Sugar and Icy Nude (which aren't pictured above, oddly enough). I chose this picture because it shows many of the lipsticks together. Icy Nude was discontinued a while ago, I think. It doesn't have a place on my drugstore's shelf. I didn't care for the color on me because it was pretty brown and I was just a little too fair for it. Pink Sugar on the other hand is a very lovely color. It's light without making you look dead. It's a creamy look rather than shimmery. The pigmentation is decent--you can make it medium to pretty heavy. It's a pretty moist lipstick, so it doesn't last too awful long on the lips.

A strange thing about the two lipsticks I had (maybe all, but I don't know from experience) is that there were chunks of glitter in the lipstick. You could feel it as you applied the color. Although the glitter was visible in the stick of lip color, it didn't show up on your lips. It's very strange. And the gritty feeling as you apply isn't exactly desirable. All in all, I'd say it's an ok product. I don't think I'd repurchase.

I guess it doesn't matter if I'd repurchase, because looking on the Revlon website, I'd say that this line is being discontinued altogether. You can't find it anywhere on their site. I guess other people felt the same about the quality. I really want to try the lip butters.

Go ahead and leave a comment if you've tried other colors and let me know what you think! Also let me know your thoughts if you've tried the lip butters. Are they all they're cracked up to be?

I hope you have an absolutely fantastic weekend! Salut!
