Maybelline Colour Whispers (revisited)...

These have been mentioned on my blog before but seeing as I'm slowly building a collection and am head over heels in love with them, I thought they needed another post.

There's no doubt in my mind that eventually I'll own all of these. I'd liken them to the Revlon Lip Butters for consistency. They're a gel like balm with a nice wash of colour that you can build up but it never becomes too opaque. They're fairly moisturising, come in a nice range of colours, and are so simple to apply. No mirror needed!! The one down side is that, like a lot of this type of lip product on the market, they don't stick around too long. But being this easy to apply I'm not sure I'm too bothered about that. 

I have (left/top to right/bottom) Pink Possibilities, Oh La Lilac, and Lust for Blush. I'm not sure if these are out in the UK yet? But if they are, go try them. And if they're not, go try them as soon as they hit the shelves!!

Anyone else tried these?

Review - Revlon Colour Stay Ultimate Suede lip colours....

Finally, something we have in Australia before the English (I think)!! There's been some real hype around these new products from Revlon and, as I'm not only a lipstick addict but also one of Revlons biggest fan's, I picked one up to see what they were all about. Revlon describes them as

'a soft formula with moisturizing shea butter and aloe is food proof and doesn’t quit'

I bought the colour Finale, a bright pinky red shade; with names like Private Viewing, It Girl and High Heels, it was hard to choose!

Anyone who thinks these will be like the lip butters will be disappointed, as there's absolutely no moisturisation in these at all (in my opinion). When first applied, they glide on smoothly, don't slip and slide on the lips, and give a nice and even, strong colour pay off. After a few minutes, as I've read in most reviews, this sheen dries and the colour becomes mat with a strange sticky feeling but I've managed to get past that. The colour has some serious staying power. While I've been writing this I've worked my way through a cup of tea and, whilst there is some evidence of the product on the mug, it hasn't seemed to budge from my lips. This probably needs a longer trial than one brew to see the real results but, overall, I'm a fan. Colour, durability, packaging, colour range, and ease of applying this product all get a nice big thumbs up from me. 

Anyone else tried these lip products from Revlon yet? Maybe some colours seem to be better than others but I only really seem to find bad reviews!!
