Fall Lipsticks: REVLON Colorburst lipsticks - 045 Raspberry, 095 Crimson & 010 Plum :)


Hey there! So fall is starting and I felt like sharing a review and swatches of my Revlon Colorburst lipsticks in shades fit for fall :) Over a couple of months my collection of these expanded from just Crimson to also Raspberry and Plum :) I have mentioned 010 Plum already here :)
These Colorburst lipsticks have been discontinued, but at the moment Slovenian buyers can still get them in Ilirija store and also online, Click2Chic store :) Unfortunatelly there's only a couple of shades available, so maybe some other online store will be more helpful :)


So let's start with the packaging. Simple, elegant, black casing with a simple diamond pattern. On the top you have coloured cap, signaling to you which shade it is. Otherwise the packaging is simple, plastic, but sturdy enough to survive a fall or two...Also the lid stays put, so it's travel friendly and you don't need to worry it'll open in your bag.


As for colours - I like darker shades on my lips, I think they look good on me. On a daily basis these don't get around much, but I'll try to use them more because it's really a shame not to. Crimson is the most red of the shades,  a beautiful deep red. It's a very wearable red and I dare say it would fit different skin tones with no problems! I have seen reviews and comment of others that claim this is perfect for them even thou they are really pale, or have olive skin tone... As for myself I'm more neutral to yellow toned and I think this shade fits me best from the three mentioned in this post :) It really brightens up the whole face. :)
Rasberry - as the name already suggests it's a mix of dark pink shade with a touch of red in it. This one will sit best to those with neutral and yellow skin tone, also maybe more to warm than cold tones. Also none of the shades are really sheer, and none are matte. When applied they appear glossy, but when they set in they are a tiny bit shiny, but do not look like a liquid lipstick :)
Plum - a gorgeous deep dark red, a touch on the berry side, best described as a wine coloured! A total win for fall and winter season! Not for a very very pale skin, but even those can work this colour out to fit them :) Add a touch of blush and maybe the lipstick a bit more lightly and it will be flattering :)


top to bottom: Crimson, Raspberry, Plum



As for texture  - all are very smooth and easy to apply. Whether straight from the bullet or with a lip brush, I had no problems with application. Only, these really do need very well exfoliated lips.They don't melt that much in warm room or bag, so I like that I don't need to be careful it's gonna leek out somewhere. I would not say they are moisturizing, but they do not dry my lips either. So somewhere in between...
Pigmentation - I think all three shades are very well pigmented and leave a very nice colour with just one swipe. Also I don't have the need to build it up more, because it looks good just with one. They don't have any  smell or scent, not fragranced at all.
And lastly - lasting power. On me all three have been pretty good. Three hours with no need to do any touch ups, than I had to because I simply can not stop eating and drinking when I have something on.

And now swatches:

To wrap it all up - these are really good quality lipsticks for a reasonable price. Everything about them makes me want even more shades, thou I really don't need them... Also, it's no secret Revlon is my favourite brand for lipsticks and these are kinda the best from them that I have. I strongly recommend them to all who shop online( it's very hard to get them in stores, they have been discontinued), give them a try, I don't think you will be dissapointed. Unless you pick up a shade that will not look good on you ;)

Hope this was helpful to you and take care!

Love, UniqaPoly

    1. Hmm.. ja je živa, ampak hkrati umirjena rdeča, ne vem niti kako povedat. Meni se zdi da kar vsepovsod paše, ampak ni živa rdeča v smislu pin up...

  5. Odlični odtenki:) Res škoda, da so jih ukinili, ker sem slišala ogromno pohval za te šminke.

    1. Ja saj namesto njih smo dobili lip butterje, pa suede šminke, pa v svinčniku - samo nobena od teh ni toliko pigmentirana šminka kot so bile te. Mislim da se Plum in Raspberry da dobiti še na Click2Chic :)
