Revlon: ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick, Ultimate Orchid

This weekend I picked up one of Revlon’s ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick’s in Ultimate Orchid

I got mine from Walgreen’s for $7.99

I really liked the look of this, it reminds me  of NYX’s soft matte lip creams. It goes on glossy and then dries quickly into a matte lipstick. I STRONGLY suggest applying a lip balm before applying though or your lips will dry out and will look flakey.

The shade I chose is a really pretty lilac/pinky shade. In the tube it has a slight gold shimmer to it but I don’t notice it all when I apply it. I think this color works almost as a nude and looks really pretty with a smoky eye.

As for staying power I give it a 7.  It does last a lot longer than a normal gloss or lipstick but will flake off if you don’t apply a balm first.

I don’t recommend this for people who already have dry or flakey lips!
