Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy Review

Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy Review

Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy is another lip color that I bought on my search for that perfect mauve shade. I have a weak spot for long-lasting shades and I am reasonably satisfied with Revlon products. I didn’t think anything could go wrong when I found the perfect combination of a good brand and a long-lasting lip color.

Price:

Rs. 960 for 2 ml.

Product Description:

16 hours of comfortable color and moisturizing shine. All day lip color and gloss that works overtime. ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor covers your lips in full coverage color and shine for up to 16 hours, no touch-ups needed. One end smooths on advanced ColorStay liquid formula with SoftFlex for beautiful, comfortable color that won’t kiss off, feather or bleed. The other end brushes on a moisturizing top coat with chamomile and soy extract for all-day glossy softness.

My Take on Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy:

The liquid lip color comes in a dual plastic packing. On one end, there is the lip color which is filled in the colored bottle while on the other end, there is clear gloss in a transparent bottle. The coloured gloss has a doe-foot applicator while the clear gloss has a small brush. The is a mild smell to the lip color which can easily be ignored. Boundless brandy – the name itself is very appealing. The lip color is a dark mauve shade which tends to be frosted.

The doe-foot applicator makes it easy to apply the gloss on the lips with precision. The pigmentation of the liquid lip color is great. One swipe is enough to cover the entire lip area. It takes a couple of minutes to completely dry. The clear gloss has to be applied only after the lip color has completely dried, else they mix. The clear gloss does not cover the entire area in one swipe. You need to dip the brush at least a couple of times into the clear gloss. The lip color stays for a very long time, but after a couple of hours, it starts flaking and settles into the lines making the lips look very very dry.

It is very difficult to get the color off. Since it is non-transferable, it cannot be wiped off easily; even a lip scrub does not help. It comes off only with an oil-based makeup remover.

Pros of Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy:

• Extremely long lasting.
• Completely non-transferable.
• It is a two-in-one product, you get a clear gloss along with the lip color.
• The doe-foot applicator gives precise application.
• Does not bleed at all.

Cons of Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy:

• Colour on drying looks frosted and darker as compared to when its in the liquid form.
• Makes the lips very dry after the clear gloss comes off.
• Lip color does not fade evenly, makes the lips look very flaky.
• Settles into the lip lines making the lips look drier than they actually are.
• Very difficult to remove, can be removed only with oil-based makeup removers.
• I do not like the colour after it dries, makes me look darker than I am.

IMBB Rating: 2/5.

Would I Recommend Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Boundless Brandy? No, the colour looks different on drying and it is a torture for my lips 🙁
