Revlon Matte Lipstick Twinkled Mauve : Review, swatches
This is my first lipstick in matte from Revlon and on the whole too I just have some 5 lipsticks from Revlon considering my huge collection.i paid some 500 odd rupees for this and I don’t think I got value for money for this product and the brand. But I am too floored by the color of this one and so I may give it some benefit of doubt to this one.
Revlon has many variants of their lipsticks like matte, velvet touch, plump, lustrous some glosses too. The colorburst ones are the recent craze. But I fell for this color as im moving more towards nudes these days. First off when I read mauve and that too twinkled I thought this would be a frosty shimmery lipper . On a closer look I saw that it’s a matte lipstick :/ when I swathed it I saw that this is almost a nude soft brown plus pink matte lipper and the tube has ribbons of mild golden shimmer in it . Wow! I mean I don’t have a matte lipstick with shimmer in I mean perhaps here the formula is mattifying(and drying too) but its definitely not a matte matte kind of lipstick, it has an edge over other lippies with the ribbons of gold in the pink brown color and it gives a sheen of gold to the final finish . It is not really a mauve but somewhere between a mix of pink and brown .One swipe comes out all nudey for me but in four swipes the gold sheen is mildly visible and the lippy is more like brown then .
About my experience with the lipstick:
So far so good the lipstick is matte nude with a gold sheen the formula at first application is smooth but not creamy.granted it’s a matte lippy. The formula is staying but doesn’t set on the lips like the nine to five from lakme(not that I want it too) after an hour or so my lips started drying so much and remember I had some four swipes of this one. by the time night fell I was wearing it close to seven hours the color of the lipstick had stayed put but with the passage of time the formula had become drier and drier on my lips so much so that I wanted the lipper to be off my lips and I was craving for a lip balm. Usually I never have dry lips ever and so I love matte creamy lipsticks. But this was bad, the formula was so drying after a while that I dint care if the color had stayed on me for seven hours but my lips were parched with all the color accumulated in the wrinkles of the lips. Wonder what would happen with dry lips and lips with fine lines 😮
Another thing I wanna point out about this one is that I found the packaging to be very cheap and the label at the base looked like some local lipstick sticker(yes I do judge products according to the label on them )I did not find the packaging any different than the cheaper branch of Revlon “streetwear” just the pricing was different . Revlon and streetwear both surprise me always with their cheap quality and high pricing.
Last word:
The color is GORGEOUS in every way. It’s a pretty nude brown pink shade with a mild sheen of gold and its matte lipstick . But it’s a very very very drying lipstick. It is hell for dry lips. I never ever have dry lips but this lipstick made me realise what it is to have dry lips. I don’t wanna work with the color with a balm etc because im just so put off. The pricing is not at all justified (rs 480)I love matte nude lipsticks but still would not prefer this drying formula.if I use a balm it wont be as matte and then it defeats the whole purpose of a matte lippy!

Neha, how do you organize all those lipsticks? Do you manage to finish them before their expiry date? 😉
i sold many off in sale
and no i dont finish them

and sometimes i give it off to my frens :))
or family too
some close to heart lippies i never throw unless i find a dupe :worship:
looks a lot like lakme 129. but that one is quite moisturising!!.
I hate drying lipsticks. :pan:
han mon :spank:
Neha! pls stop writing these lippie posts! my willpower is melting dude 🙁
i am a v v lippie person but i kind of managed to distribute it to all makeup items. and now since i don have much time to do the rest i am tending towards lippies and nailpaints – trying to curtail my urge and u r one villain here :p
esp posting all nice colors (nudes and mauves) – and doesnt help when i dont care much abt the texture when i like the color (and given i have many lippies wouldnt hurt to wear even the drying one for a while ;))
:rotfl:
tamil beauty i can understand
let ur baby grow up a lil ul start all over again
n ya i thot the same texture doesnt matter
but this one 😮
“let ur baby grow up a lil ul start all over again”
I agree with this point hands down. :lol2:
haww neha i used to like this range so much. bt then i wear alot of matte lip product so dry lips dont bother me any more :secret2: :tongue:
:hihi:
han rati i still love the shade but the formual goes on dryer with time :headbang: 😥
aur ye kya hai :((
abhi to mujhe many new lippies pe likhna hai
:shocked:
:((
i was never into makeup till i started frequenting this blog, so i have only a few glosses and one lipstick. thinking of gradually expanding my lipstick collection…so thank you for the review. i can strike off revlon matt lippie from the loooong list of stuff i need to buy! 😉 kinda makes my job easier :snicker:
:yes: yes 😀

Neha- you are of late the person who is indirectly robbing my bank – this color is too good to miss :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:
this will make ur lips dry n cracked like :ghost2:
i wish i cudrob the bank directly :yawn: :whistle:
Ehh-but such a lovely shade 🙁 🙁 I have such a color from Streetwear-kinda rosy gold-but the share of gold is more-this looks soooooooo goood- :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
If you keep on posting about such lovely lippys-very soon my account will have nothing to rob from 😆 😆 😆
My lips don’t dry generally either, but this is scary. The colour looks lovely. Coincidentally I was googling revlon lippies today… I miss some of my old faves that they have discontinued – like Bali Brown ( a lovely reddish brown – very creamy too) and Shimmering blaze (Very similar to lakme’s brick but a much lovelier formula). Sigh, I know these shades are no longer hot, but pinks and mauves really dont look that great on my skin! Guess I am a total 90s girl.
me tooooooooooooooooooo :puchhi:
bricks anyday
When I think that I bought my first revlon lippie for about Rs.95…mind you, this was when lakme was about 50 bucks.
prices in cosmetics market have really shot up. It’s amazing to know that these lipsticks were priced something like that also once. 🙂
I think faces velvet matte range is the best its very moisturizing and good, even the colorbar matte range! revlon lippie tht you reviewed is a really nice shade buy it made you lips more dry! thts bad !
hmm lemme try faces :))
Faces matte range rocks-great pigmentation and awsome choice of colors-a must have in a lippy lover’s closet 🙂 🙂 🙂
i loveeee revlon ka lipstick packaging!!So classy! better than thehi fundu brands k packaging bhi!
its just like streetwear 150 rupees onne
its nice but not worth 500
look at the sticker
Haww…such a gorgeous shade but dryinggg!!! :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: Thanks for the review Neha!! :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
😐 😐 😐 😐
I don’t care how good the colour is….I simply refuse to wear a lippy that dries my lips out so much. :nonono: :nonono:
:nono:
Also…ye lippy to mauve nahi lagti. :nono:
I have this maybelline moisture extreme lippy in lustrous lilac…It is maroon with silver shimmer.
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
neha,,,,this one doesn’t even look close to mauve ?:) …n i dont like matte lipsticks….. :yuck:
:stars: han dimps me too thought the same ki nam toh dekho :struggle: mauve
tester nahi that kya??? ?:)
Beautiful shade Neha…..but Rs. 500 and then not even moisturizing :hunterwali: :shocked: :shocked:
han jomol 500 aur not even close to moisturising
y shud i wear a balm with a matte lippy :huh: its not matte thn
:hihi: what logic,Neha.
i was gifted a revlon lipstick recently and i was very surprised as how cheap the quality was. was very shocked considering the price!
:inlove: :inlove: :inlove: wow! for the gorgeous colors.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Gorgeous shade….but drying???? :ghost2: :ghost2: :ghost2:
haan neha, i saw your message. dobara se colorbar ki ‘desire” dhoondoongi, nahi mili to tum bhej dena :toothygrin:
i have rose dew and fabuloous fig from revlon matte range….the former also has some silver freckles though not golden and i do find it dring. fabulous fig gets drying after few hrs 😐 aur haan u must try faces ki matte range, i have a few…mai soch rahi hoon review kar doon issey pehle ki tum karo :toothygrin:
I hate dry lipsticks!!!! 🙁
I have 3 lipsticks in nearly the same mauvish pink shade but godddd this one is also so gorgeous..I want this one too 😛
Really a very nice color but deftly not at the cost of making the lips go dry 🙁
i hav a mtte lippi frm this range but i luv the shade n the lippi too neha :haanji: :haanji: … do try a lip balm n apply it if u find it sooo drying :waytogo: :waytogo:
It’s a lovely colour, but the drying out the lips part….. :ghost2: :ghost2:
The color is pretty though..I also like Mauve it Over in these…but no dry lippies for me 😐
the packaging is so much like the sasta wala streetwear na…i will stay away from this range now. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
The color is really gorgeous but my lips are anyways dry..this will make it even more drier 🙁
