6 Revlon Lipstick Review

Hello Everyone!

This is my first official blog post on this new blog! :) (YAY!)

I'd like to start off this blog with a post about one of my favorite things-

 Drugstore Make-up.

I've had plenty of good and plenty of bad experiences with Drugstore make-up. 
One of my absolute favorite Drugstore products is Revlon's lipstick line!
Now, to let you know where I am coming from, I have only been wearing lipstick for about 6 months! I've always been a lip gloss kind of girl, but on my 21st Birthday, I decided to expand my make-up. I started off with buying MAC lipstick...

NOW, hear me out. I love MAC, and if I could afford to only buy MAC, I would. However, part of me dies a little inside to pay 3x as much (Yes, 3x!) for a lipstick after I have found quality, lasting, beautiful lipstick at (drumroll please....) Wal-Mart!


I still think every woman should eventually have a high-end nude, pink, and red lipstick. However, if you are just starting to use lipstick, or want to play around with different colors, I would highly suggest beginning with a drugstore lipstick.

One of the cons of drugstore make-up is that you typically cannot try it on before you buy it... and sometimes it is hard to tell what the color in the tube will actually look like on! So, I have swatched six of my Revlon lipsticks (from lightest to darkest) to show all of you!

(Be warned, I put the lipstick on really fast so I could get pictures of all of them in a short amount of time so PLEASE do not critique the application of the lipstick! :) )

First off is #631 Luminous Pink.

This is such a pretty, everyday pink. It is a Pearl Finish, so it is shimmery and light. I LOVE THIS PINK! Such a great lipstick to start off with if you aren't a lipstick girl.

Second, we have #011 Stormy Pink. It is a matte color, which I love. It is very bright; a color I wear only when I am going out. I have noticed with matte lipsticks (even MAC ones) that they tend to be a little more drying than the other finishes, so be sure to prep your lips and moisturize them before applying this color.

Third is #450 Gentlemen Prefer Pink. It is a pearl finish, so it is shimmery and light, but it is very buildable! Goes on very easy and very moisturizing. I could wear this one everyday!

4th off is #435 Love That Pink. It's a Creme Finish, so it's not shimmery, and it is moderate coverage. It's a bright, beautiful pink, that's not too "in-your-face". One of my favorites!

5th we have #725 Love That Red. It is pretty similar to Love that Pink (same creme finish), however it is, as one would assume, more of a red color. I'm a little partial to this lip color, because this is the lipstick I was wearing when my fiance' proposed :) Also, I smashed it on accident and had to chop the top off, so it DOES come with a regular slanted tip, I just ruined mine.

Lastly, is #006 Really Red. It is a Matte, so once again, PREP your lip before applying! This is a nice, vibrant red. I don't wear this too often, because it is such a dramatic lip. However, with the right outfit, it is gorgeous. Looks really great in photos as well!

I purchased all of these lipsticks at Wal-Mart and I paid about $5 bucks per lipstick (AWESOME!)

I highly recommend the Revlon lipstick line.

There are so many colors to choose from, and they are quality lipsticks!
