Surprise, Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick is finally here (Ontario)!

Went to Walmart for the purpose of finding Dr Scholl’s Comfort Insoles for Her, but you know that I have been longing for the Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick since forever so I check up the makeup counter and was very happy to find that they are finally here! The product just came. I was there as they unpack more boxes. I was so happy nobody tries the counter sample yet so I picked the colour I wanted and try them on. Well, actually I don’t have to try them on one by one. The one that I love is Soft Nude 070 and Peach 075. They look awesome!

The nude colour does not wash your face out! It has a little big pink pigment on it. As for the peach, I love it better than my Rimmel Crush because it is less orangy.

My first impression, “OMG these lipsticks look awesome”. I am falling in love with their packaging, its classic! I got them for $7.97 + tax each.

When I open the lipstick, the first thing I notice is that they have no scent, well at least no strong smell like my other lipstick. When I apply them, it glides nicely, feels creamy but not shimmery. They leave a glossy finish. I don’t know why the colour won’t show up if I use lip balm before applying the lipstick. I love having lip balm before lipstick. My lips get dry easily especially in winter time. I have to have lip balm on me every time. Maybe I’ll use less balm, like one coat only before applying the lipstick next time.

Here are some swatches. You can tell which is soft nude and which is peach : ) They are truly different colour. Left one is Soft Nude and right is Peach.



I apply soft nude on my upper lips and Peach on bottom lips. See the difference? But you gotta admit both look nice right? I don’t think the colour disappear “that” easily. I find them like others meaning apply only after eating, drinking and a couple hours. They are not long lasting, just normal.

New Obsession?

I think I am obsessed with drugstore brand lipsticks lately. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing. As obsessed as I am, I don’t buy all colours as most colour totally don’t suit me. I am thinking of getting red-red lipstick but I am too chicken! However, it might looks good for some occasion. I am thinking dark eye shadow look with red lipstick + my super fair skin. Not too bad huh? Don’t put too much hope on that!

For my new obsession, I am thinking of adding Revlon Colour Burst into my lippy collection. I like the super popular SOFT NUDE and perhaps Peach. If this product as awesome as what everyone has been saying, I might get True Red in addition to soft nude and peach.

I am in quest to find the super moist lipstick and long lasting. To this, I am a bit up-set with my late purchased Rimmel lipstick. I love the colour but it dried up fast and the colour pretty much gone in half to an hour. Not too sure if weather have any contribution to this or it truly is that way.

From all my late purchased, L’Oreal is the most moist lipstick hence the price is quite the moist of all too. That is why I am excited! I am hoping Revlon colour burst will be better than L’Oreal. They are in the same price range, both drugstores but I have been hearing how smooth Revlon new collection is, how true their colour is... yada yada yada... It makes me want them even more! I went to Superstore today and I was hoping to pick up Soft Nude but the clerk said, “We have not received the new Revlon collection yet.” How sad! I am going to visit some other store and check them out! I hope they have it.
