Review: Revlon ColorBurst lipstick


revlon colorburst lipstick baby pink blush


Left: One swipe
Right: Two swipes


Baby Pink - cool-toned shimmery pink, gives more of a sheen
Blush - brown neutral color, a little dark, but somewhat of a your lips but better color, almost gives a satin finish

Pros:
- Creamy
- Smooth
- Not drying
- Sophisticated packaging
- Cap swatch somewhat accurate

Cons:
- Limited color selection, especially on the lighter end of the spectrum
- Not long lasting
- Pricey for drugstore lipstick
- Inconsistent pigmentation, Baby Pink is sheerer than Blush


Value:
$7-9 for 0.13 oz / 3.7 g

Verdict:
Overall: B+
I would recommend getting Blush and Soft Nude, but Baby Pink might be a little too cool-toned for some people, like it is for me.
Although they expanded the color selection for lighter colors, most of them are still kind of sheer. I would only consider Soft Nude as a keeper.

Special notes: I read a while back that lipsticks shaped like so (to a point) are designed to line lips before filling in. For this creamy formula, it is somewhat useless since it will become dull after a couple of uses.
If they added SPF to this lipstick, it would be near perfection... Although there's still slightly pricey retail price.

Repurchase?
Maybe Soft Nude.
