Ahhh a red lip. Pretty much every makeup brand does some form of one, whether it be a super matte lipstick or a super shiny lip gloss, they all have one. But finding the perfect one… that’s a whole other story.
If you have read some of
my previous posts you will know that I got one of the Revlon ColourBurst Balms
for Christmas and let’s just say… this is my perfect red.
I have the shade 250 –
Standout which is a slightly pinky-toned berry red. I would say that this is
quite a subtle red (if that’s even possible haha!) as it isn’t a bright, in
your face red and it isn’t a strong purple-toned red, it’s more of a cross
between both. The colour pay off is amazing and as the shade is very buildable,
it is easy to go from day to night with one lip product.
As this is a matte
lipstick, I did expect it to stay on for quite a while, but in no way was I
prepared for the power of the balm. It doesn’t budge. Now when I say it doesn’t
budge, I mean through eating, drinking, talking, laughing, crying, and every
other scenario you could think of. I wore this lipstick on New Years Eve and it
did not move a muscle throughout the whole evening which is great for a
drugstore product (I actually think its better than my Mac matte lipsticks
which cost twice the price!).
Another thing to love
about this lipstick is the consistency. It has an incredibly creamy formula
which doesn’t leave an awful shine on your lips and it is not drying in the
slightest. It dries a solid colour on your lips which is great to avoid
smudging throughout the day/night but one thing I do find is that it dries very
quickly leaving little time to work with it so I do suggest using a lip liner
before applying it if you’re looking for ultimate precision. The crayon-like
applicator makes it super easy to glide onto your lips if you’re in a rush
(which I am most of the time) and also makes it easy to cover your whole lips
without leaving any annoying little gaps which just suddenly appear.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this lipstick to anyone looking for a new red to try out as – like I said – this is my perfect red. Let me know your perfect reds in the comments below or on my social media.
