Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Crystal Lilac

Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Crystal Lilac

Ever since Rati has started posting her MAC lipstick stash, I am in a big conflict and every day, I am on the MAC website selecting shades, lol.

I might coax hubby dear to take me to MAC for Diwali 😉

Also, when she posted the Revlon Colorburst lip glosses, I knew I had to get those too ;), I know I am so greedy, LOL. So, I went to the CVS and saw that these glosses are so popular that they were all sold out except this one and a hideous shocking pink one. So, I just grabbed this one, I had to 😛

According to Revlon’s site, these new ColorBurst lipglosses are described as follows:

“A pop of weightless color with vivid, mirror-like shine. Outshines everything but you!
•Micro-crystal formula for 5X the shine of patent leather.
•Plush applicator shaped to curves of your lips for smooth, even application of color.
•ColorBurst’s Elasticolor™ technology for rich color with a weightless feel.
•Moisturizers and anti-oxidants such as sweet almond oil and vitamin E conditions and improves lip texture.
•Available in 15 vibrant, on-trend shades.”

I cannot agree more, this is so far the best lip gloss type I have ever used, I am so impressed.

Packaging:

It is a long thin bottle kind of package with a quilted screw cap. The applicator wand is a doe-foot applicator, but it is straight and bendy, but not flimsy.

Cost:

Anywhere between $7-$9. I got mine for $8.

About the Shade:

It is a warm pink with cool pinky, purple opalescent shimmer. The formula comes out as sheer, but when layered gives a nice opaque finish. It has blue-violet micro shimmer/glitter as you can see in the tube, but it is not gritty at all. The shimmer particles are very very fine and normally you won’t see it, but it might react differently in different lights and even the shade might differ a bit. Oh, and its totally non-sticky. I tried pursing my lips a couple of times and whipped my hair over my face (yeah, I am jobless, lol) and it did not stick at all.

I kind of read in some of the reviews before I got this that these glosses have a hint of a vanilla smell, but I could smell no odor or for that matter no taste. If you look at the swatch, it looks very nude on my lips, perfect accompaniment to a nude lipstick, but an absolute delight on its own too, but I have a feeling it would show up more if I apply a concealer or something to my lips.

So, summing it all up:

Pros:

  • Absolutely delightful finish, goes sheer to opaque.
  • Non sticky.
  • Comes in about 15 shades.
  • The applicator wand is different but great.
  • Shimmer is not gritty.
  • This particular lilac shade seems to be a bit “milky,” kind of more opaque. It is very pale, lilac pink with slight purple sparkle.
  • Most of the shades are absolutely stunning.

Cons:

  • Staying power is okay-okay, but its a gloss, so acceptable ;).
  • Some of the shades are really tacky.
  • Other than that, I cannot think of a single bad thing 🙂

Will I Repurchase?

Yes, yes and yes!!! at least 4 more!
