Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss - Hot Pink

Revlon Colorburt Lipgloss 'Hot Pink' - £7.99

 

Revlon really are the cream of the crop when it comes to drugstore/highstreet lip products in my opinion, they have their balm/crayons lipsticks and their ever popular Lip Butters and even their lipsticks are very good quality and the same can be said for their lipglosses.

 

The Hot Pink colour of this Colorburst range of lipglosses is one of only two colours that I own from this range and it is such a gorgeous shade! I bought this because I wanted a bright pink lipgloss, when I got it I wore it a few times and then forgot about it. Having recently had a bit of a clear out, and finding products I wanted to use up I discovered this again and whilst wanting to use this up I actually find myself not wanting to finish it as I really do like it.

 

It is a bright pink colour with silver shimmer/glitter. It does contain very small particles of glitter and they can be seen on the lips but it looks amazing out in the daylight. So if you don't like glittery lipglosses then you may not like this too much.

 

These lipglosses are very glossy and give a pure opaque colour pay off. Not at all sticky which is my real pet hate when it comes to lipgloss. These are easily one of my favourite types of lipgloss across all spectrums of beauty from cheaper brands to high end. They are that good!

 

I actually really really love this colour and I need to find a lipstick in this colour, as I don't actually think I own a lipstick similar to this and I find that it suits me well.

 

I noticed when researching this lipgloss that Revlon have added more shades to this range, i'm intrigued so I may go out and look at the newer colours and see if there are any that take my fancy.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss - £6.99

 

As we all know I have a love/hate relationship with lipglosses, they aren't like lipsticks where you are almost guaranteed to like them, lipglosses are a bit of a nightmare in terms of trying to find ones that aren't sticky! It's my ultimate aim when it comes to shopping for a new lipgloss.

 

These are the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses, and I have the colours Coral Reef (L) and Pink Pop (R). Now I must admit the Super Lustrous lipgloss line by Revlon have recently changed packaging and they are now in spherical shaped tubes, I think I prefer this old design packaging if i'm honest as most lipglosses are in circular shaped tubes, but oh well i'm not in charge of the Revlon packaging and the new ones aren't that bad at all really, they have still managed to keep the Chanel-esque look to them with the black lid and the gold band around it.

 

 I do have a few problems with the Super Lustrous line of lipglosses, but i'll start with the positives. As i've already said the packaging is just gorgeous and it's my favourite packaging of all the lipglosses I own, they just look so chique and high end to me. Also the colour pay off is amazing! I've found that with all the Revlon lipglosses i've tried, they've never let me down when it comes to packing a punch with colour. You could easily wear these colours on their own without having to put a lipstick on underneath.

 

Now to the negatives. I do not like the little applicator, it's like a stump little sponge, not that it really feels like a sponge, but you get what I mean by the texture. It doesn't make it easy to apply the lipgloss. Also the main draw back to these lipglosses is the formula. It's very thick and it is quite sticky, in my opinion. Also from viewing the swatches below it looks a bit gritty but it doesn't feel like that, despite what it may look like. 

 

I don't know if these are something that Revlon have changed now that they've repackaged these lipglosses, they may well have reformulated the lipglosses themselves too, but I don't have any of them to compare the old with the new. 

 

 I would not buy these again, not only because i'm not so keen on these particular ones but I just don't wear lipgloss really so I won't go out of my way to buy anymore than the ones I already have and which i'm trying to use up.

 

Also just to note the Coral Reef one does not seem to be avaliable anymore, Revlon may well have dropped this particular colour when they re-packaged them but there is bound to be a similar colour in the new line. But the Pink Pop one is still avaliable.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 'Crush'

 

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 'Crush' - £7.99

 

The whole lip stain concept really is genius when you think about it, you're able to achieve the desired lip colour and it will last all day! It really is amazing and i'm not at all surprised that the whole lip stain craze has become as popular as it has done. It's had me hooked from the start.

 

As usual Clinique seem to be one of the headhunters when it comes to new products and then the cheaper brands attempt their cheaper versions of it. In this case Revlon have done very well in creating the balm stains, they are just the best versions of these balm stains across the drugstore/high street in my opinion.

The packaging is very similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, so a very good dupe packaging wise. I love the whole look of them and I like how you can twist it up to get more product. Also the colour of the outside tube matching the colour of the actual product is always beneficial and Revlon have done that with the Lip Butters too, I sense a pattern emerging here.

 

The first colour I ever got of these Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain's is the Lovesick one which is a bright fushia pink, which I adore. But I wanted one for more autumn and winter occassions and so I chose this colour that we are looking at today called Crush.

 

It's a lovely berry purple wine sort of colour, so perfect for this time of year. It feels nice and comfortable on the lips, it might dry your lips out slightly (after all it is a stain so it needs to dry out a bit) but I find once you've put a layer on, and rub your lips together and let it stay there for a few seconds before applying another small layer. So the stain will work its magic and then also the second layer also acts as a more balm and it will feel even better. It's not very glossy but it's not matte either, it's almost like a satin formula if you like.

 

It does have a minty taste to it at first when you apply it, now some people hate the smell but I really love it. It doesn't tingle on the lips either, some people don't like that about some minty lip products so you don't have to worry about that.

 

These are my go to lip products for a night out or a long day somewhere and I want a bold lip look, as I know they will last all day, even after eating and drinking which is a rarity in the lip product world.

 

Revlon have recently brought out the matte versions of this and an even more glossier version of these balm stains. I'm not really interested in the matte ones as I'm not keen on matte lipsticks, but the glossier ones intrigue me, so I may try those and see how I get on. But I am more than happy with the original ones, I just want more colours!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Cherries in the Snow

 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Cherries in the Snow - £7.49
 

I just adore Revlon lipsticks, you just have to look at them to see how special they are. The packaging is one of the main draws for me, it looks incredibly high end with the gold packaging and the glossy black outer casing.

 

I've found a picture of this old poster for this shade, I had to show it you.

This shade that i'm reviewing today is the colour 'Cherries in the Snow', I was intrigued by this shade not only because I just love the name! But also I read that it is one of the original shades that was created by Revlon in 1953, initally as a nail varnish and then it became one of their lipsticks and the exact same colour is still going to this day! I love stories like that, and it really shows that the shade has stood the test of time and has been a relevant, popular and wearable shade for 60 years!

 

It is a perfect cherry colour lipstick, almost raspberry colour too. It is so perfect for this time of year on crisp winter evenings. I love wearing this for a night out at this time of year and especially over Christmas it's nice too.

It is a very opaque colour and goes on smoothly and it feels very good on the lips, it is not at all drying as it is Creme finish so it is moisturising. As it is such a strong colour it will slightly stain your lips too.

It really is a cult classic lipstick and it deserves a place in your lipstick collection. I don't wear this colour enough and I really should as it is simply gorgeous!

Revlon Colorburst 'Orchid' Lipgloss

 

 

Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss 'Orchid' - £7.99

 

Revlon are such a great brand, I don't actually own any other products from Revlon apart from their lip products, and i've never tried any of their products either. The main thing that puts me off from buying things from Revlon I suppose is the price, it is the higher end of the drugstore/high street and I would only spend that kind of money if I know the products are really good. Some other things have been raved about from Revlon like their foundations, but the fact that you're paying a lot for a foundation that doesn't even come with a pump puts me right off, so for now i'm sticking to their lip products.

 

Revlon has a couple of types of lipglosses and they have both proved to be popular. I was on the hunt for a light pink lipgloss and when my sister was getting a Revlon lipgloss I spotted this colour and really liked it.

 

 It is a pretty good applicator and of the two lipglosses that Revlon do this is the longer one and these ones contain shimmer in them, unlike the Super Lustrous ones which are in smaller tubes. I prefer the Colorburst line purely because you get more product for your money and I do quite like lipglosses with shimmer in them. The packaging on both are superb! I particularly like the quilted look that is on the lid of this lipgloss.

 

 

As you can see it is a sheer pink, almost verging on a mauve lilac colour, and it does have slight silver shimmer which can make it look a tad frosty looking in some lights. But if applied right it looks fine and you hardly notice it. I have quite naturally pigmented lips and I never layer lipglosses over lipsticks so I wear this alone and I like the look that it gives. It's very glossy and not at all sticky, it doesn't last all that long on the lips (then again what lipgloss does?) and I do like the name 'Orchid' it suits the colour well. I think if you want a normal everyday pink gloss with a bit of shimmer then this one is spot on.

 

£7.99 may be a tad steep for you to spend on a lipgloss, but you may be more of a lipgloss person than a lipstick person so then in that case it may not seem too bad to you. There are always offers on in Boots and Superdrug also.

 

I probably wouldn't buy this again, as I don't often find myself wearing lipgloss so I don't see the point in buying more lipgloss if i'm not going to wear it. It's not a negative critic on the product itself, it's just me.

 

This Revlon lipgloss is avaliable at £7.99
