Review : Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick


Review : Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick 
 
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede is a matt finish and long-lasting lipstick, which contains shea butter and aloe.
Love Beauty UK wanted to review it and see if it really lasts all day.
 
Love Beauty UK tested Finale, Muse and Front Row (pictured below)





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All 3 shades provided bold colour, especially the darker shades which after a couple of coats provide a bright and intense look.  The packaging is durable, with a click twist applicator and is very easy to apply to the shape of your lips.  As this is a matt finish lipstick, its not as moisturising as other products but you benefit from not having to re-apply it throughout the day.   
 
The real test is will it last? Love Beauty UK applied it prior to a meal and was very impressed with the results:
 
 
Tried & Tested
 
  • Drink test - PASS
  • Eating test - PASS
  • Kissing test - PASS

After a meal full of drinking and eating the colour was still on the lips, with no smudging or transferring.
 
Love Beauty has rated Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede 5 Stars. 
 
Available in 20 shades from Boots and Superdrugs.
