Got this lippie from BB in shade Private Viewing. It is a nude shade with slight golden shimmer. The word Suede in the name already suggests a matte finish which it is. When you first apply it, the lipstick feels moisturizing. After some time, it sets and dries into a lasting finish. It really reminds me of the effect of Revlon's Ultimate Liquid lipstick. Unfortunately long lasting lip products are usually quite drying which is also the case with this product. However, I have tested it by wearing it while eating and drinking and it performed really well.
I was so thrilled to receive this lipstick to review for Beauty Bulleting, I was even more excited as this is my absolute favourite colour to wear on my lips!
Here is a breakdown of my thoughts about this product.
Likes: • I love the colour (001 Silhouette), a very pale baby pink, • I adore the packaging (the click mechanism which winds the lipstick up incrementally) and the clear tube which showcases the shade. • It feels very rich, smooth and buttery upon application. • It is long-lasting, though not as long-lasting as claimed. It is necessary to re-apply once or twice per day to keep the colour intensity. However that is still pretty good going in comparison to 'regular' lipstick.
Dislikes: • When applying it goes on really creamy however after a few minutes it 'sets' and feels almost waxy and I personally couldn't bear it. However applying a gloss over this (or even a balm) does ease the feeling slightly and doesn't seem to affect staying power but it does negate the 'soft suede finish' which is supposed to be the whole point of this lipstick!
How does it stack up against Revlon's selling points?
Revlon's claims: • "Instant Moisture" - check: it does feel very moisturising upon application. • "All-day Color" - more like half day color, but it's staying power is still impressive. • "Shea butter & Aloe" - shea butter is listed as the 8th ingredient and aloe as the 10th, one before the fragrance. • "Soft suede finish" -Yes, the matte/suede finish is beautiful (if you can handle the suffocating sticky, waxy feeling long enough before slathering on gloss or lip balm that is!)
So in conclusion, although the good points do seem to outweigh the bad, that feeling of sticky, waxy, heaviness is just too much for me. I am wearing it whilst writing this review and all I can think about is finding a wet washcloth and giving my lips a good scrub to get rid of it!
Loved the variety of colours and price isn't bad. There are more effective "long wearing" lipsticks out there but a lot of them tend to dry out the lips. I found it stayed on well and kept my lips soft. For the price and quality, I'd say its a decent lipstick.
Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick is the new Revlon “Dare to Leave Your Lipstick at Home” look. The new range comes in a selection of various colours, each to suit your skin tone. If you love the ColorStay range, you will fall in love with Revlon's new product!
Its especially great that it has been released during the summer months, as it is perfect to laze in the sun with a lipstick that you need not worry about smearing off. Keep it close, you will find more than one occasion to use it!
I have tried and tested it and I must say, even though I am not a huge fan of lipstick, the particular shade that I have, Private Viewing, is perfect for daytime wear. The colour is a bare nude that offers your lips easy application. As the name suggests, when you smooth it over your smoocher it leaves a velvety feel behind. You can feel this velvety effect only seconds after application. If you find the after touch to be a tad too dry, just apply a gloss.
The reason why it sets and becomes dry is because it lasts for hours...you see, the lipstick needs something to stay put on! I did some research and I found that most women were happy with the product, while others complained about the dryness. Ladies, just apply a lip balm over it and voila! You are good to go!
The container is very chic and very pretty (I believe that the outside should be as pretty as the end result) it also is very appealing. It’s a great lippie for all genres of women which is a really great selling point!
Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick is the ultimate lipstick, and yes ladies, after you apply it you CAN dare to leave it at home!
