Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick - Swatches & a Quick Review

These days I am not at all happy with the the kind of lipsticks I am buying.
I bought Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick and I was hugely disappointed.

Pros:
Feels very soft and highly moisturizing.
Very pigmented.
The texture, smoothness and moisturizing is similar to the lip butter and pigmentation is like a lip color.
The colors are really good.
Does not have a funky smell, has more of a fruity smell.

Cons:
Staying power is like a lip butter as well. Huh!
I thought you know what this can't be right, let me try a lip liner and then apply.
But nope still didn't last for more than an hour.
It washed away even my trusted long lasting lip liner.
If only they could keep the staying power as colorstay line, it would have been awesome.

Would I repurchase? Nope!
Looks like I will have to stay away from lipsticks for a while.
First disappointed with Rimmel and now my favourite drugstore brand Revlon.

I have intentionally posted the below pic to show that the packaging of the lipstick is weird, every time when I try to close it, the cover gets messed because of the lipstick protruding. Hoping my words are making sense.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm 225 in Sultry - Swatches and Quick Review

Revlon has always given us the best lipsticks, comparable to the expensive brands, for a lower price.

Pros:
It is a smooth, moisturizing, matte lip crayon.
Thick crayon like packaging, doesn't require sharpening.
It looks red on some, pink on some, on me it is more like a marsala kind of color.
Highly pigmented, covers up perfectly even highly pigmented lips like mine, glides smoothly, very moisturising, long lasting.
Stays good for 4 hours, leaves a tint after that.
Doesn't require sharpening, which is the best part.

Cons:
A little bulky kinda packaging.
Can get a little drying once it starts fading.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Red Velvet - Review & Swatch

Hello again!

I will be doing a quick review of Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Red Velvet.

The packaging is what attracted me the most to this lip butter.

Hmm...Its a lovely sheer rich, red color. Its very moisturing. You don't need a lip balm beneath it, moreover it's highly pigmented.

The color, the texture everything is fine, but it will last only and hour or two on your lips.

So the staying power was pretty frustrating and it will bleed a little, the one thing that I hated about this.

If you look at it as a tinted lip balm, then yes it is pretty decent considering the color payoff, but something which you want it as a long lasting moisturizer and lip color, then I would say it's average.

I don't think I would buy it again, considering it's 6 dollars a piece, would definitely want to try tinted balms from other brands.
