Firstly, thank you for the Revlon ColourStay Ultimate Sued lipstick. I was super-excited to try it out and see if the staying power that it boasted of, is really true.
I like the lipstick applicator/casing. It's user-friendly and I like the fact that it clicks when you turn the lipstick out and back in. This way, if you're not watching, you won't accidently replace the lid while the lipstick is still out and damage the tip (been there, done that so many times).
The lipstick went on smoothly and almost creamy. At first, I thought it would definately not last as the creamy lipsticks tend not to last very long on my lips. However, it was similar to a lip stain in that it stuck around for a good while - even after my coffee and cereal. Bonus there!
What I didn't like about it, was the 'tacky' feeling after application. It was almost sticky and I really didn't like that feeling. It stops being tacky a bit later and then it just gets DRY! And, I mean - DRY!! my lips felt like they had been exposed to the sun and dried out from water deprivation. Seriously - not nice! I have taken a before and after pic as I don't have the luxury of video, so that you can see the staying-power.
For those who wear glosses, I think you'll like this product, but it really isn't a favourite of mine as I don't fancy glosses.
Revlon is still a firm favourite of mine, so that won't put me off as I usually use their lipsticks and mascaras and ... the list goes on.
Thanks again for the opportunity to test this product - it's always great to be able to give an opinion and I think people prefer honesty when spending their hard-earned money.

Hi Beauty Babes,
I was really excited to receive my first product in the post to review - the Revlon Colourstay Ultimate Suede in High Heels. My excitment slowly faded as did the lipstick I tried out!
I found the application very dry and not easily coatable on my lips. I tried it again with a gloss over and this did the trick! Much Better Result.
The colour was a bit bright for my skin colour, but it being summer, I decided to rock the brightness!
I personally would not buy this product as I prefer a creamier lipstick that moisturises my lips. I felt this was a bit too dry if you didn't apply it with a gloss. It does what it says on the box and the colour does stay, but after some time, it looks un-even and needs another application as not all the colour stays.
Quick Tip: For an even finish and a glam look, use with a clear lip gloss.

I was so thrilled to be chosen for this review. I generally love Revlon's product range... quality is usually assured, colour ranges are always generous, and textures are considerately good good. I was surprised however at how mediocre I found this product to be.
My ColorStay 'Ultimate Suede' has a beautiful texture, and I loved the fact that it's a chubbier 'stick' of lipstick as opposed to the breakable, bendable formulas in the past.
To cut to the chase, I have applied the lipstick on 3 separate occasions : once before I went shopping. A second time to visit the hairdressers, and a third time this evening while I was on my way out to visit a friend. To my dismay, this beautifully silky textured lipstick just does not have the staying power that I would expect. On all 3 occasions, and within an hour or so of application, I desperately needed to touch up. Perhaps I'm just used to more colour coverage, but I'm afraid this one is not on my list of favourites. I will however continue to use it, but perhaps OVER an existing shade I already use. The texture is good, just not the coverage and staying power it promises.
It certainly wont deter me from using the other Revlon products I've come to know and love, but this Colorstay selection wont be on my list of favourites in the future. Thanks so much for the opportunity of testing these selections... it's always exciting to be 'in the know' and current when it comes to beauty goodies...! x
