A New (and Cheap) Favorite: Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Mauve Review & Swatches

Repurchase: Yes
Price: $2.62 on sale @ CVS (regular price $8.99) (0.13 oz)
Product: 22/25
Packaging: 4.5/5
Value: 9/10
Overall Grade: B+

I picked up a Revlon ColorBurst lipstick in Mauve (along with Coral and Hazelnut) during the current CVS clearance sale and am so happy that I did. It's my favorite of the ColorBurst lipsticks that I've tried so far and I'm almost certain it's one of those shades that will look gorgeous on anyone of any skin tone.

The Packaging: Revlon lipsticks come in a sleek, matte black tube (thinks NARS) and contain a quilted design on alternating sides of the tube. Why the quilting can't be all around the tube? I have no idea -but aside from that little detail, the tubes are really nice compared to other drugstore lipsticks.

The shade name can be found on the bottom of the tube with a color square representing the shade inside at the top. "Revlon" is printed on the lipstick bullet itself which gives it a nice touch -something I have yet to see on other drugstore lipsticks.

Ingredients
The Product: Revlon ColorBurst lipsticks look and feel good on the lips. They actually feel somewhat hydrating while on the lips (but they don't provide a long-term moisturizing effect) and don't leave me with dried, flaky lips. The lipstick glides on effortlessly and feels light (on) when applied. Also, there's no gross artificial taste or smell which is always a must-have for me. And to top it all off, the color payoff is very good and buildable.

However, the only down side is the wear time. Revlon ColorBurst lipsticks tend to last about 3 hours or less for me -Mauve lasts a little bit over 3 and then starts to fade.

The Color: Mauve is pinked, medium toned mauve with a hint of berry. It also gives off a lovely sheen but no shimmer.

Overall Grade: Again, this is my absolute favorite of Revlon's ColorBurst lipstick line. I've searched several CVS stores high and low for back ups and extra tubes to give away with no luck -I guess it must be very popular! I love everything about the lipstick except for its short wear time but all of its good qualities definitely make up for it.

If you love natural looking lips with a nice pink edge, you need to give this a try. It looks so natural yet you do get that extra "pop" of color that livens up the lips. I can see this already being a wonderful shade for the upcoming Spring season.

Where To Buy: CVS (on sale), Rite Aid, Drugstore.com

  11. nice, well 3 hours isn't too bad... but that does require you to carry lipstick in purse which might lead to lipstrick accidently opening and smudging the inside of your purse, ugh I HATE that lol

  12. But I hate reapplying makeup during the day! =( But yea, 3 hours isn't bad -to me, that's on the higher end of "average."

  14. I've heard so much about those colorburst lippies... I want one!

  15. @ Rinz.. Sometimes, products are on sale but they don't put stickers on them. Did you try scanning some products? I usually go on weekdays. =)

    @ Hollie.. You need to try one! They're reasonably priced -especially for the great quality you get.
