Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Temptation

If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know of my love for Revlon lip products. They recently released a new formula…the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors. I’ve been wanting to acquire some for awhile to try them out, and lo and behold, they were on sale at Target last weekend! Hallelujah!

Revlon Temptation 0

The color I bought is Temptation. It’s a bright mauve-pink. According to Revlon, “Ultra HD Matte Lip Color is a lightweight, high definition, matte color with a moisturizing velvety feel.” I’m not really sure how a lip color can be “HD,” but that seems to be a big buzzword in makeup right now…wonder what technological words they’ll use in makeup next? And what does that make my “non-HD” lipsticks? Standard?

Revlon Temptation 1

Regardless, I like this lipcolor! I’m torn whether to call it a lipgloss or a lipstick, because it applies like a gloss. However, it wears more like a lipstick. Hence the name lipcolor, perhaps? It has a plush applicator that allows for relatively easy application. I love the matte packaging, but it does affect the color appearance. For example, this color looked much less vibrant in the tube than it actually is. Just be aware and look up swatches online before you purchase it. Revlon also has examples of women of various skin tones modeling each color on their website.

Revlon Temptation 2

I felt like the color sunk into the crevices in my lips a little when I applied it, but it wasn’t too drastic and lessened with wear. I also think this wouldn’t be an issue with a darker color. Lighter toned lip products often have this issue, I’ve noticed.

Revlon Temptation 3

Like I said, this product applies like a gloss, and while it claims to be matte, mine didn’t really ever set until waaaaaay later. It is definitely not extremely shiny, but don’t expect it to set like a matte right away. If you blot it, I think it will look matte much faster, but I chose not to.

Revlon Temptation 4

I was pleased with the wear time. As you can see below, a lot of color was still there after 5 hours (and those hours included eating a turkey wrap and drinking from a water bottle!). There is a slight lipliner effect going on, but overall, I’m pleased with how much of the product/stain remained…especially since it doesn’t claim to be long wearing.

Revlon Temptation 5

Another good note is that it didn’t seem as drying as other matte products I own. If mattes tend to dry out your lips or you think your lips are too dry to wear matte products, this may be a perfect option for you. I’m not sure I would go as far to say that it is “velvety” or “moisturizing” (which it claims), but it’s definitely not drying.

Revlon Temptation 6

Another thing I wanted to point out is the smell. It’s a pretty strong vanilla scent similar to Lip Smackers Vanilla Frosting circa 1999. If you’re sensitive to smells and flavors for lip products you may want to steer clear. The smell goes away pretty quickly after application, thankfully.

Revlon Temptation 7

Overall, I’m pleased with Revlon’s Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor, and I think I may purchase a few more of the eight available shades. If you try any out or have another color recommendation, let me know!

Beauty Blurbs: Revlon Colorstay Makeup for Normal/Dry Skin

0

Hey y’all! First things first, I always have the desire to refer to my readers as “Hooters,” which is totally not okay. Unfortunately, it popped into my head one day, and now every time I start a blog post, I want to say, “Hi Hooters!” Don’t worry, I’ll continue resisting the urge, I just wanted to fill you all in on my creative process. 😉

Today’s post could alternatively be titled “Selfie Overload!” So…I’m sorry in advance for that! I am reviewing Revlon Colorstay Makeup for Normal/Dry Skin and wearing the color “Buff,” which is the next to lightest shade. I have repurchased this foundation multiple times and continue to love it!

1

This foundation claims to provide “longwearing coverage with a lightweight formula that won’t cake, fade, or rub off.” I must agree! Don’t let the term ‘lightweight’ make you think it doesn’t offer great coverage! With a light layer, I am able to even out my skin tone and cover minor blemishes easily.

2

I have worn this foundation with and without a primer, and it stays on for HOURS each time. On the bottle, it says it can be worn for up to 24 hours, but the maximum amount of time I’ve worn it is around 14 hours. The normal/dry skin formula controls the shine even on my oily areas really well. If I ever have any issues I do a quick swipe with an oil-absorbing sheet, and I’m good to go!

3

This foundation works for me from day-to-night and light-to-heavy makeup applications. There is a Combination/Oily skin formula I have tried when my skin gets more oily, and it works great as well! With 20 shades, this foundation covers a pretty wide range of skin tones.

4

Another positive aspect of Revlon Colorstay Makeup is that I’ve been able to achieve both dewy and matte looks with it! On the left in the photo above, I used a blush with more shimmer (MAC Peachykeen) and a lighter application. On the right, I used a finishing powder (e.l.f. High Definition Powder), matte blush (MAC Pink Swoon), and heavier application. With simple variations, this foundation can provide quite a range of looks and satisfy several styles.

5

If it’s not obvious yet, I’m a huge fan of this foundation, and that has almost nothing to do with the fact that it’s only about $10! If you’re looking for a great, new foundation (that just happens to be inexpensive!), definitely try out Revlon Colorstay Makeup!

Beauty Blurbs: Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in India Intrigue

0

Well, Revlon has done it again. You know I’ve been obsessed with their Balms forever, and I recently tried out their Colorstay Moisture Stain. My mom purchased a tube in the color India Intrigue, and I loved it so much, I had to buy some for myself!

1

The sleek packaging is great, except for the easily removable safety seal. I had to look through several tubes before I could find one that hadn’t been opened! People, if you want to try out makeup, go somewhere with testers or buy it somewhere you can return it…don’t ruin a product for the rest of us! As shown above, the applicator is a doe foot, which is my one complaint. I think it was a little bit difficult to apply, but I’ve gotten better with practice!

2

This “moisture stain” goes on like a gloss, but it’s not sticky at all. The color payoff is AMAZING! It perfectly matched how it looked in the tube, and it contains a small bit of glitter. Don’t worry, nothing too middle schoolish…just a nice sheen!

3

This vibrant, berry pink is the perfect color for summer, and the Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain has 11 colors that offer great variety. I’m hoping to pick up a more everyday color, next. I mean…this bright pink is everyday for me, but I meant an everyday color for the average person who rocks a more subdued look. 🙂

4

I’m still on the fence about whether or not I think this stain is moisturizing. The glossy look stays for a fair amount of time and the stain lasts for a LONG time. As you can see in the photos below, the wear after 8 hours is pretty remarkable. While, the gloss wore off after eating and drinking, the stain was there to stay!

5

I am super pleased with this stain, and I think it’s really great quality for the price ($7-$10). I am anxious to pick up more colors soon. Let me know what you think if you happen to try it out and which color you think I should try next!

Until next time! 🙂

Beauty Blurbs: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore

0

Hey y’all! You already know about my love affair with Revlon lip colors, so I wanted to share another color I picked up: Adore. This shade is a brick color with a touch of shimmer.

1

Adore is a little more sheer than my other Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, which I don’t prefer. I like it when my lip color completely covers my lips. It still has a great color payoff, but I wanted to mention that it isn’t as pigmented as Crush, for example. The picture above is a picture of Adore just after application with the flash from my camera.

2

This picture shows the the balm stain in natural light. The color differs based on your natural lip color, as always. For example, my mom purchased this shade first, and it looks completely different on her! If you’re worried about how the shade will look on your own lips, I would recommend purchasing this product somewhere that will honor a refund like Ulta.

3

The brick color of this lip product makes it perfect for fall, but I think it can be worn in the warmer seasons as well. It’s a great alternative for someone wanting to ease into bolder lip colors, without jumping in with a bright red lip.

4

As with my other Revlon Balm Stains, this product has a good wear time, but it does rub off and leave a “lipliner effect” on me after eating or drinking. Also, after I have it on for awhile, it does feather a bit around my lip line. I still think it’s a great purchase, especially for the price point!

5

Thanks for reading my thoughts on Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore!

Until next time!

Beauty Blurbs: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic

0

My love affair with Revlon lip products is no secret. This past weekend I broke my bronzer, so to cheer me up my sweet husband took me to Ulta to replace it and pick up a few more things. 😉 He actually picked out this Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic for me, and I love it!

1

This BRIGHT pink has a slight mint scent and is super pigmented. It is totally the perfect color for the fun, summer months to come.

2

You can see below the matte balm does slightly sink into the crevices of my lips, but it’s not nearly as bad as Mischievous. Once I layered it, it was a lot better. I think with a good lip primer or some balm underneath the problem would be solved.

3

The wear-time is okay. It stayed on really well until I ate lunch, so I’m pretty pleased. It’s definitely not moisturizing though, so if you have dry lips, I’d stay away or invest in some great primer.

4

You can see in natural light Unapologetic is a really beautiful pink color. I wore it shopping the other day, and the sales associate complimented it and couldn’t believe it was Revlon! She told me it looked much more expensive and thought I was lying until I pulled it out of my purse. Guess that’s a good sign??

5

The great thing about the Revlon balms is that they come in matte balm, balm stains, and lacquer balms, so they have something for everyone! Plus, you can pick them up anywhere, which is great. Hope if you try Unapologetic you like it as much as I do!

6Also, in the spirit of full disclosure (in case you couldn’t tell), I took the last few pictures in my shower. Like literally, standing in my bathtub, taking pictures of myself. What? It had the best lighting at the time! Hey, when you live in an apartment and are working with a point-and-shoot camera, desperate times call for desperate measures.

On that note, I’m off to enjoy Seinfeld reruns with my perfect lipstick-selecting hubby! Hope you had a great Wednesday!
