Product Review: Revlon Lipstick

I've never been a lipstick girl. However, I am making a concerted effort to become one. One reason for that would be the photo above. What can pump up an otherwise average outfit like a pop of lip color can?

This past summer I stumbled upon a stunning coral-pink hue, Revlon's Moondrops Lipstick in "Persian Melon.," which elicited oohs and ahhs from my boyfriend every time I wore it. Then, last week, I found a gorgeous shade to add some life to my winter-pale skin, Revlon's ColorBurst Lipstick in "Raspberry."

Persian Melon

Both lipsticks claim to bring moisture and smoothness to your pucker and to provide intense, lasting color. These claims are spot-on and, in fact, the staying power of these lipsticks have carried them straight to the top of my favorite drugstore purchases list. I often put a clear, non-sticky balm over the color for added moisture but these lipsticks are wonderful in that they don't dry your lips out when left to their own devices.

Raspberry

You can't beat the price of these lipsticks (under $10). The color is also build-able. If you're color-shy, one swipe will do. Want more drama? Layer it on!

I'm excited to see what other shades catch my eye in the coming months and especially pumped to try Revlon's new ColorBurst Lip Butters which are supposed to be extra-hydrating (infused with Shea and coconut butters) and are advertised to give a medium coverage, high-shine hue that will be ideal for spring. Review to come!

Do you wear lipstick? What's your favorite shade? I'd love to hear from you!
