These are the three colours I got:
Romantic - lovely brick red
Honey - mauvey, pinky, brown
Sweetheart - gorgeous fuschia
L-R: Sweetheart, Romantic, Honey
The problem I have with almost all lip products is that my lips are super dry. Even when a lipstick is "moisturising" I'm still slathering on half a tube of lip balm underneath to keep my lips hydrated. My lips will still dry out and after a few hours the lipstick has clung to my dry patches and me lips go all flaky and feral and the flakes are super pigmented with lipstick. It's gross. Anyway, all this "T.M.I." is for a reason - and that's that these revlon stains don't do that. They are really weightless in feel and although the gloss only lasts an hour or so the stain lasts for hours. I don't know if it's because there's less product on my lips but the revlon stains don't tend to give me the flakies. I also love that they don't have shimmer! I hate shimmer in lipsticks because it often turns out like previously mentioned flakies with sand in between. Anyway, so the texture and lasting power is great. Onto the colors....
Front-Back: Romantic, Honey, Sweetheart
I like Romantic, it's the kind of red I would wear as a statement lip. I haven't tested this, but I think one day I will try layering a red lippie over the top and kind of using it as a lip liner. I'll keep you posted. It's not a pure red, it's on the brick side of reds so makes my teeth a little yellow. But it's not the worst I've seen.
Honey is an amazing everyday colour. You'd think from the name that it's brown. But it's not. It has a bit of brown in there somewhere, but is mainly a light mauvey pink. On my light skin tone this is so wearable as it isn't that obvious but adds a touch of colour. It's great because I'll reapply after lunch and it pretty much lasts the day.
Sweeatheart is another favorite of mine. It's a bright fuscia, the first bright fuscia lip product I've owned and let me tell you I am going to buy more! Photo below. More words on the colour not needed. Winter go away and bring on spring!
I will definitely be purchasing more of these. They are the best lip product I have tried in a long time.
