Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick Review

I am a massive lip product junkie so when I saw this at 50% off at my local pharmacy I quickly grabbed it.

The packaging was pretty stock standard for a lipgloss/liquid lipstick a clear tube with black lid nothing particularly special but this isn’t a criteria for me really. It has a small applicator tip at the end which is great for a bit more of a precise line (especially good with a super stay type of lipstick).

I got this in buffest beige – I’m still on a quest to try and find my perfect nude and was hoping this just might be it.

I made sure before I applied this that I prepped and primed my lips (exfoliated and applied a Nivea lip balm before application). Taking the applicator out it sounded like a really heavy gluey type of gloss but I was surprised that it glided on smoothly and when applying the applicator made it easy to get within your lip line.

Unfortunately though this is about where my good times ended with this. It did have a slight fragrance and to me it reminded me a bit of my nana just something that smells like an older lady might use it. I found this to be extremely streaky, it was very hard to get an even coverage it always seemed to look patchy. If you tried to even it up it was like you rubbed off product from somewhere else on your lip. It was far to glittery and shimmery of a formula for me I do like more of a wet look lipstick but this was more glitter than moisture.

I let this dry before doing anything else and it seemed to take a long time to dry it was like glue streaky tacky uneven glue.

I left this on for about 2 hours before I decided to take it off, it felt terrible on my lips a mixture of dry (like when you have a facemask on and you need to get it off immediately) and gluey and a bit flaky!.

Most of it had disappeared off my lips anyway and looked terrible. It was very easy to remove with a wet cloth it had absolutely no staying power on me.

I am super glad that I got this on sale as I would have been really disappointed to spend $33.00 on this terrible lip product. I definitely won’t be trying any more of these or recommending them to any of my friends.

The hunt for my holy grail nude continues.

Love the colours, hate the formula! I have 6 of these, all a disappointment. It feels funny on your lips and it fades on my top lip only! really flaky and rubbery when on. Such a shame for such colours!

First Impressions : Pretty stock standard revlon packaging. Nothing special. Colour visible through the glass which is always handy.

Product : I bought "Platinum Petal" which is a shimmery looking peachy pink.

Application : First thing I noticed was the weird sound the applicator made when removed from the bottle... super gluggy. Putting that aside I applied and the instant it hit my lips I wanted to wipe it off. It tastes foul... Leaves an awful lingering old lady smell in your mouth. I left it on for about half an hour in which 80% of it had disappeared (it had no staying power at all). It literally was just a sticky mess sliding around my lips. So unimpressed. In terms of colour it's a nice shade but it was just patchy and streaky.

Final Thoughts : If I wasn't such a hoarder I would throw this one away. I might try and give it to a friend to try, who knows maybe it's just me that doesn't get along with this formula. I would certainly never ever buy this again.

The packaging of this is really nice and simple and i like the brush applicator as well. I just don't like the formula

This liquid lipstick is so opaque that it can be a negative thing because it dries fast but yet still feel so sticky. Its a really weird consistency. Its long lasting BUT as soon as you eat or drink it starts peeling off in not a good feeling, it doesn't gracefully fade from the lips

It was so patchy and i had that feeling when you apply mud masque on your face and then when it dries and you smile it cracks. Thats what it feels like with this lipstick on. The colour is not even that unique for me to feel like its okay to put up with a bad consistency.

Wont be purchasing this again

I've always struggled to find a lipstick that lasts more than 2 or 3 hours on my lips, but this is the closest I've found to 'lasting' colour. I use this as a base coast on my lips in the morning and it just seems to sink in and seal onto my lips nicely. I follow with a coat of lip balm (as the Revlon liquid lipstick leaves your lip quite dry), then just add a top coat of regular lipstick as I head out the door. This gives my lips colour for up to 5 hours, which is a new record for me so I do recommend it, but more as a base coat rather than a stand alone product.

I really like these liquid lipsticks. I am not a huge lipstick wearer as I dislike having to reapply over and over during the day. I find these really easy to apply and find they last for hours. They are definitely my go to lipstick if I'm going out to dinner as they last really well with eating and drinking and don't leave lipstick marks on glasses or move around on the lips. They can feel a little dry after you have applied them as they set on the lips well making them long lasting but not a moisturising lip colour. I like to apply a lip gloss over top once its dried to make it feel more natural and prevent it looking dry. I also like to make sure my lips are nice a moisturised and flake free before applying these by using a lip scrub to remove any dry flakes and applying a moisturising lip balm a while before reaching for this lippy.

I have one of these and to be honest they are not my favourite. it can be a hit and miss at times. Feels light weight on my lips but just not something i would wear everyday.

This lippy stays on for hours, but will begin to flake if you haven't prepped your lips properly. It's difficult to take off at the end of the day but I see this as a plus - meaning it won't come off at every sip of water. The texture was bizarre to me. It went on like a gloss but quickly dried to an almost paint-like finish and felt dry and uncomfortable on the lips. It has a strange dry, sticky feeling after a while which I really did not like.

it goes on nice but does flake and clump. when reapplying it goes a bit sticky. was a pain to take off but on a bright note it was easy to apply due the brush and cant complain when I got it for free with my foundation
