REVLON ULTRA HD LIPSTICK HIBISCUS

Hi everyone and welcome back to Makeup'Asylum,

 I wanted to share my thoughts on the Revlon ultra hd lipsticks. I picked up one colour (Hibiscus) a while back from the Target closing sale. I happened to find this one colour that had not been ransacked during that fiasco.

REVLON ULTRA HD LIPSTICK
HIBISCUS 3.0G S.R.P. $10-12

WHAT REVLON CLAIMS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

" A REVOLUTIONARY WAX-FREE GEL TECHNOLOGY FOR TRUE COLOUR CLARITY IN ONE SMOOTH SWIPE. AVAILABLE IN 20 HD SHADES."

I think these lipsticks are quite nice and creamy, and they do not feel heavy on the lips. 
I like that the packaging allows you to see the colour clearly for times that a tester may not be available and it's not a guessing game.
The colour smooths over the lips easily with no drag and has a yummy candy scent. I would say the consistency is most similar to the Maybelline colour Whispers, if that helps at all. The overall colour payoff is good with one swipe, but better with a couple of passes over the skin. Hibiscus is a strong orange/coral based colour looking darker in the tube but comes off on my lips looking a lot like cantaloupe.

great shade for summer with a tan

I do like the Revlon Ultra HD lipsticks, but I don't love them, or feel I need more colours. There is nothing super unique about them that would make me run out and buy more especially at $10 a piece. Also the wear time for me was very average at about 4 hours, before needing to reapply. I have other lipsticks that are cheaper and last a lot longer.

HAVE YOU TRIED ANY OF THESE LIPSTICKS, IS THERE A CERTAIN COLOUR YOU LOVE IN THIS LINE?

I hope you all have a great week and thank you for reading here at Makeup'Asylum

REVLON ULTRA HD LIP LACQUERS **UPDATE NEW COLOUR ADDED**

Happy Friday ladies & gents,


Hope your all having a great day. It is so cold here we are staying inside today, I did go to the store earlier and with the wind chill it was -36, what was I even thinking going out there.

Today on a more warm, shimmery, get you ready for summer note I wanted to share my thoughts on the new-ish Revlon Ultra HD lip lacquers. I only picked up two colours to try them first and I think I may now be picking up two more.

Revlon claims on their website that these lacquers are always silky, never sticky, but I do differ on that opinion or statement. Once on the lips after about twenty minutes or so there is still a tackiness to these. I personally don't mind because they will stay on longer, but some people just out and out hate anything that feels even slightly sticky on the lips. So just an F.Y.I. 

These lacquers are HD wax free gel technology and they do feel nice while applying to the lip. I how ever am not a fan at all of brush applicators and would have preferred to see these with a doe foot applicator. The claim is that they are True colour clarity and I would say this is definitely true. What you see in the tube will absolutely transfer to the lip the exact same. These are very high shine and make the lips look luxe and plump. Other then the mild tacky feel I love these lacquers, they look so beautiful on the lip, which you will see in a moment. 
I wore the lightest shade the other day for a few hours and had drinks before I noticed it was starting to break down and need a reapply.

Take a look

525 PINK DIAMOND
APROX. 6G OF PRODUCT - AVERAGE PRICE IS $10CAD

If your a person that LOVES high shine, glossy sexy lips then I recommend you give these a try. They won't disappoint in terms of colour impact and there are 15 amazing hues to choose from, that will appeal to many skin tones. Oh! did I mention they smell delicious like a vanilla cupcake or some sort of baking.



565 SUNSTONE (PERFECT SUMMER CORAL)

570 SMOKY TOPAZ

I also am hopeful that Revlon will eventually bring out matte versions of these lacquers which would certainly be a hit.

THIS ARE AVAILABLE NOW, I FOUND THEM AT WALMART CANADA AND SHOPPERS DRUG MART OR FOLLOW THE LINK IN THE SIDE BAR AND ORDER THEM FROM WELL.CA 

Hope you enjoyed this review and don't forget to follow my blog if your aren't already

HAVE A GREAT WEEK-END

50% OFF REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICKS WOW

Hi everyone,

So to further my obsession with Revlon way back during the holidays my local Shoppers Drug Mart had a 50% off Revlon lip products event for 2 days only. It included all lipsticks, lip glosses and lip butters which I just posted a separate review on those recently. This time around I skipped on the glosses because I have a few from Revlon and haven't been reaching for them much. The glosses are gorgeous don't get me wrong, and with summer coming soon I will be wearing them more again and they will be getting some love for a change.

Moving along lets look at the two lipsticks I purchased

006 MATTE- REALLY RED & 477 CREME- BLACK CHERRY

 BLACK CHERRY

 MATTE REALLY RED

As you can see in the tube Black Cherry looks extremely intimidating, but not so once swatched. I did notice even though its a crème it does skip a little and you need to go back over it. Then you have the matte Really Red which is just gorgeous and the swatch was one back and forth motion if that helps express the amazing pigmentation on this one. I like Revlon's matte lipsticks because they don't feel drying on the lips like other brands I have tried in the past.

These were definitely worth adding to my arsenal of lipsticks what do you think?? What are your favourite colours from Revlon???

What a great buy they were $4.60 each

Thanks for checking in with Makeup'Asylum

XOXO:)

SONIA AND REVLON, L'OREAL OH MY!

Want to see some more delicious lip products??? While I have some random ones to share with you today from various brands "HAPPY DISCOVERING"


REVLON LIP BUTTER 030 FIG JAM

Normally I don't tend to gravitate to shades that are some what to the brown side, however I had read and heard good things about this particular colour and kept looking at it in the store, so I caved and bought it finally. Also I love the lip butters because they moisturize well and the darker shades have good colour payoff.

L'OREAL COLOUR RICHE BALM 318 HEAVENLY BERRY

I am somewhat disappointed with the colour payoff of this, even if its sheer it can still be pigmented and this just really isn't great. I have previously loved "Nourishing Nude" from this same line, but this isn't doing it for me, especially at $9 CAD a pop.

 In the tube this looks very promising

not so  much once swatched

Its to bad because as I said I do like these normally and they feel very nourishing on the lips. If nothing else I just have a nice lip balm here :P

Last up I saved the big winner for the end.

I was at my newly opened Target location and of course was into the makeup. I decided to try out the

SONIA KASHUK SATIN LUXE LIP COLOUR 93 CLASSIC RED 

The first thing that caught my attention is the sturdy high end looking modern tube with Sonia's name down one side of it. I like that there is a block of colour at the bottom to give you some idea what your in store for. I would say in this case the colour offered on the outside is true to the colour of the product itself. Once I got it home and opened it I was very pleased as it has a lovely gentle vanilla scent and the colour is sinfully perfect, lets take a look

This is the first real true red lipstick I have purchased in a long time and I am loving it. Its smooth and silky and very intense pigment and the scent is great. The only thing I have noticed is for some reason as I am wearing it after a while it feels like my lips are getting a bit dry, but your experience may be total different with it. I will just add a dab of clear gloss if needed.

I will definitely be picking up a few more of these lipsticks in the near future.

3.4g @ $9.99 CAD

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE TRIED ANY OF THE ITEMS I MENTIONED TODAY???

THANKS EVERYONE FOR CONTINUING TO SUPPORT MAKEUP'ASYLUM



XOXO





REVLON LIP BUTTERS & LIPSTICKS

Welcome back readers,

I hope your all having a great day.

A lot of people enjoy Revlon products and if you have been reading here for a while, you know I never get tired of Revlon lippies and there is plenty to be had. Quite a long while back I picked up two lip butters and two lipsticks because I got them for 50% off sometime before or during Christmas holidays.

The first two lip butters I went for this time around are

65 CREAMSICLE- This is a very sheer nude peach toned lip butter with very little pigmentation. I do like it if you want to do a no makeup makeup look, but its definitely not a favourite within my lip butter collection.

10 RASPBERRY PIE- is a bold jeweled tone lip butter that not only is highly pigmented,  but also leaves behind a beautiful berry stain on the lips as it wears down.

Obviously the love affair with lip butters is because they not only have a wide range of colours, but because they feel so soothing on the lips. I prefer Revlon brand over most of the other lip butters on the market right now.

Next up are two lipsticks that have a crème finish which tend to be my favourite for lipsticks, because you get the creamy feel on the lips, but a good opacity similar to a matte. I hardly hear anyone speak of these lipsticks and I understand they are not new colours added to the Revlon line, but these should definitely be given more blog time.

The first colour is 683-DEMURE

A beautiful peachy nude with an ever so slight sheen in the light. The lipstick it self has a very fine glitter in it, but its not obvious on the lips it just seems shinier and glowy.

One of my new favourites to my Revlon collection is this next colour

668-PRIMROSE

A stunning mauve based nude pink, that is perfectly wearable day or night. It doesn't get much closer to perfection then this.

There is such a huge range of colours and finishes from Revlon. I can't say it enough, they truly are the best brand for lip products at drugstore level.

I have been a fan of Revlon in general for many years now and I look forward to seeing much more from them in the years ahead.

I believe after discount I got all 4 items for about $20

XOXO:)

EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH BUTTER....REVLON LIP BUTTERS THAT IS!

Come on in and join the fun,

Here I am with more catch up posts from items I got before Christmas and just getting around to posting YIKES.

So in the second half of the lip products from Revlon lets look at some new editions to my collection of lip butters. As mentioned in the lipstick post Shoppers Drug Mart had a 50% off Revlon lip products so I grabbed a few.

L2R-RED VELVET, BERRY SMOOTHIE & WILD WATERMELON

Lip butters are such practical products because the serve dual purpose in delivering on colour, as well as good moisture. With lip butters of any kind or brand it is normal to apply more frequently because they are a softer product, but do pack some punch with some of the richer colours in the collections.

40 RED VELVET- As the name suggest this is like the moist red velvet cake that if made the traditional way the cake is coloured with beet juice which in a batter can take on this reddish brown tone.

50 BERRY SMOOTHIE- I was noticing in this particular colour some pink micro glitter which I am not certain how many more in the lip butters have this as I always thought they were more just a crème finish with shine. This is a nice gentle berry tone that is a great everyday colour.

I like this shade because it adds just a sheer wash of colour to compliment your natural lip tone and is easy to wear.

63 WILD WATERMELON- Yes I know this colour totally screams Summer, maybe there is a little part of me that truly is missing some of that sun shine and warmth. I have been after this colour for a while, but kept putting it off, maybe because it is so bright. I felt the need to buy other colours first that were more practical I suppose. However a variety of bold orange tones are making headlines in the fashion world as the go to colour for not only winter this year, but heading into Spring as well.

I am pleased with all three selections and look forward to using these.

Again I got these for 50% off which was about $4.60 each.

Other colours in the lip butters I also own are fig jam, cupcake, sugar plum & sweet tart. At some point or another I have reviewed them all.

If you have never tried Revlon lip butters, first I would think you have been hiding under a rock and also don't have a sick obsession with lip products as I do;P and lastly I highly suggest you give them a try. There is approx. 20 colours to choose from, all varying for many different tastes.

WHAT REVLON LIP BUTTERS DO YOU OWN, IF YOU DON'T OWN ANY WHICH WOULD YOU WANT TO TRY FIRST????

XOXO:)



REVLON LACQUER & MATTE BALMS

Ok everyone,

I know a lot of people have already covered these Revlon balms probably a million times now, but I would hope that you will also enjoy hearing my thoughts and seeing the swatches I have included. Sometimes people hesitate buying an item because they don't know what to expect colour wise, we all know that frustration of "No Testers" at drugstore level. So thankfully if you can come on line to a blog that offers photos that are clear and true to colour it takes the guess work out of whether or not to buy the product.

Moving a long the two Matte balms I picked are 220 SHOWY & 205 ELUSIVE

Have a look

 SHOWY

ELUSIVE

I really enjoy the matte balms, all though matte they do feel emollient on the lips, but can start to dry down after wearing them for a while so I add a dab of lip gloss on top to keep them moist just a tad longer. I love showy because it is a big bold colour, but Elusive is gorgeous for everyday use being a delicious pink nude and compliments most skin tones.

next up the lacquer balms and the colours are 110 COQUETTE & 135 PROVOCATEUR

COQUETTE

PROVOCATEUR

I think all the balms are very highly pigmented and creamy. I do feel a bit of grit from the glitter in the lacquer balms, but its not incredibly bothersome. The thing I have always liked since the introduction of the first "Just Bitten Kissable" balm stains is the very present minty taste and scent. I like products like this because it also helps to freshen breath as you wear it.

I have now revisited my kissable balm stain in the colour "Honey" since the new balms have come out, it made me recognize my neglected products sitting in drawers.

T2B- ELUSIVE, COQUETTE, SHOWY & PROVOCATEUR

If you like a product that delivers on colour, staying power and portability I highly recommend any of the Revlon balms, but I really like the "Matte Balms" best.

There are a lot of decent colour options within all three collections.

DO YOU LOVE THE REVLON BALM STAIN'S, LACQUER'S OR MATTE'S???

GET CHEEKY WITH REVLON

Hello to all and welcome back,

Today will be taking a look at an item from Revlon's new line up called the "Cheek Boutique," which is a range of single pan powder blushes, cream blushes and highlighting palettes. There are some beautiful colour options through out. In the single pan I thought "Naughty Nude" & "Wine Not" were the two standout options for me personally. The cream blush called "Flushed" was quite loud, but surprisingly upon swatching in store (amazing they had a tester) it blends out to a much more toned down pink. I did not purchase any of these items, but they are definitely worth considering. Have a look next time your out and about.

The one item from this new collection I did purchase was the highlighting palette in 20 ROSE GLOW

 

LETS HAVE A LOOK

 

 

If your looking for a new highlight to try, that's affordable, this is the one to check out. Its a lovely versatile product. Some of the individual shades will be fun to also use on the eye to highlight as well. There is a light over spray of shimmer when first purchased, as well as shimmer throughout the product. I will say this would probably be more appropriate for younger women as it is more shimmery and will over emphasis aging skin. I want to wear a few times and update you later about its over all wear ability. I love the base colour of this product, but not entirely sure about the amount of shimmer for my personal taste and if its truly practical for everyday use or better left for special occasions. It doesn't look to bad in the picture above, but in person the shimmer is very apparent.

 

You get 7.5g for $11 CAD

 

 

DID YOU PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THE REVLON CHEEK BOUTIQUE???
