Claim: "Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick has a formula that feels weightless on the lips. It includes innovative pigments that delivers high impact colour in one swipe. The elasticolour formulation is designed to distribute rich colour pigments evenly over the lips and allows for a comfortable feel. The formula is also enriched with moisturisers and antioxidants such as sweet almond oil to improve lip texture and prevent drying." (from www.beautyheaven.com.au)
Packaging: Love, Love, Love. It's gorgeous. The quilted pattern, the tops (showing quite an accurate representation of the colour) and the way REVLON is embossed on the lpstick itself, reminds me of high-end packaging.
Formula: They are smooth and easy to apply. The colour payoff is actually quite sheer, so to get good coverage you need to really build it up and if you have more pigmented lips then your lip colour will definitely show through. Even with my medium pigmented lips, my natural lip colour shows through.
While application is nice, wearing this lipstick isn't if your lips are sensitive and tend to flake, like mine. If you're prone to flaking you'll see it flake after about 1.5-2 hours. So either exfoliate your lips or wear a lip balm underneath. Now, because it is such a sheer formula DAB a small amount of your favourite lip balm on your lips otherwise you'll get little to no colour payoff.
Longevity: About 3-3.5 hours.
Scent: No scent
Colour:
Petal - light pink with silver shimmer, with a little bit of a frost finish
Peach - medium peach (it is definitely my favourite of the 2)
Note: They both give off a nice sheen so you can wear a lipgloss over them but I don't find it necessary.
Overall thoughts: I really do like these lipsticks. I think they are great everyday lip colours. I especially love the peach but that's just because I'm peach tone obsessed, no seriously I am. I have everything from blushes to eyeshadows and lipstick but I digress. I like that even though they're sheer I can build the colour without it looking horrible. But I wish they were a bit more long wearing.
Pros:
- Gorgeous colour selection
- Packaging
- Colour payoff (depending on what you like this can be a con, but I personally like that I can have it darker or more sheer)
Cons:
- Expensive (all Revlon products are)
- Longevity
- It peels on me if I don't wear a lip balm underneath
Where and how much? Anywhere Revlon is sold (Kmart, Target, Priceline, BigW etc) $23.95 (just wait till they are on sale)
