I recently made an impulse purchase in Boots, having been seduced by a voucher for £2 off Revlon cosmetics. I don't normally buy cosmetics without checking reviews first, but I don't normally get out to Boots much either, so I decided to treat myself. The RRP for this lipstick is £8.99. I chose Iconic Iris, which is a lovely soft red-brown shade. I always have to try lipsticks and lipglosses as soon as I get them, so when I arrived home I was eager to test my new acquisition. I think it's fair to say that I was surprised by the behaviour of this lipstick. First of all, though, I had to try to open it. There is a fiddly little piece of plastic that you ...  Read the complete review

Finally! A lipstick that does actually have staying power AND a decent colour range. Just about every makeup manufacturer is making some version of a stay-put lip product. But apart from Avon, this is the only one I have found that pretty much lives up to its advertising blurb. And Avon's colour range is abysmal. An added bonus here, is that it is not a double-ended product, nor, like one brand, does it entail the use of two separate tubes - colour and top coat. That means you get more actual colour for your money, and there's no fiddling with different ends or having to fit two products into a tiny evening bag. Back to the colours. ...  Read the complete review

I'd had my eye on this for a little while and purchased it when Boots were having a 3 for 2 offer on. Costing £8.99 this Colorstay Ultimate Liquid is a Lipstick with a difference. **What is it?** This is a lipstick that looks like a lipgloss in it's packaging, looks and application. It comes in tube like lipglosses do and is clear on the outside with a tube inside of that containing the product. The lid of it is clear again with black on the inside. It looks rather classy in my opinion. This product looks like a lipgloss but when applied dries like a lipstick. The shade is called Stellar Sunrise, which on the Boots website looks quite peachy but it ...  Read the complete review

I have bought countless lipsticks and lip glosses over the years as I'm always looking for one that lasts a long time on your lips. I have finally found one that does the trick! This product is called a liquid lipstick on the actual tube so I guess that's a cross between a lipstick and a lip gloss. This tube of liquid lipstick is a long, quite thin shape and has the lid at one end and the actual coloured liquid at the other end. The bottom end is see through so you can see the colour of the lipstick and how much is left in it. When you screw off the lid in order to use the product you will see that the wand which you use to apply the lipstick is attached to ...  Read the complete review

Revlon Colour Stay Ultimate Lipstick I have very sensitive skin and recently I developed an allergy to most lipsticks. After a lot of trial and error, I have now found that Revlon Colour Stay Ultimate Lipstick is now the perfect lipstick for me. This is because it does not have any side effects after application on my lips. The colour I use on a daily basis is Royal Raisin (colour no 095) which can be described as a light maroon colour. To apply the lipstick, there is a stick which is dipped into a long bottle. The stick guides you to easily apply the lipstick around your lips. The texture of the lipstick does not feel too sticky or too moist and ...  Read the complete review
