Whilst out the other day I nipped into the 99p shop, not a place renowned for its beauty products but they do tend to get discontinued lines every now and then. Whilst having a rummage I found a stand of these Revlon lipsticks, I can't say I have ever seen them before but they intrigued me. I picked the shade Red Reinvented as I am having a bit of an obsession with reds. Its a standard lipstick but with a moisturising bit in the middle, I'm not gonna try and describe it anymore because I am failing miserably so here is a picture
I have to admit I was skeptical about this as I thought the colour wouldn't go on evenly and I would need to go over it loads to get a decent coverage but actually its really nice. Its very shiny so no need to put a gloss on top and its also really pigmented. The colour actually reminds me of one of the YSL Rouge Voluptes I was lusting after. So here are some lip swatches, excuse the shoddy application!

I really do like it, its a gorgeous shade of red and it does feel really nice on the lips. I don't know if it lives up to the 80% moisture boost that it claims on the packet but I can say that its not at all drying. It lasts pretty well too, I have been eating and drinking and its faded a bit but not gone patchy and it still looks as though I am wearing lipstick.For 99p I think this was a steal and I can see myself going back to pick up a couple more shades. This gets a big thumbs up from me
Oooh that is lovely. Great find hun :) xx

oooo what a lovely red! You know I love my reds sooo much! Have you tried NYX chaos? It's AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous blood red, as for the Dior... just use it everyday for the next 200 days, that's like 10p a day or something - hell, wait that's still depressingly expensive. Ok, just completely block out how much it cost from memory. Hypnotize yourself with the sparkle in it or something xx
