Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Fuchsia Review, Swatches

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Fuchsia Review, Swatches – MAC Girl About Town Dupe ?

Ok..now this has a story behind it..I am always into more of neutrals..and get scared with bright shades..but from the time I saw this super HOT pink on Bruna Abdullah in the song Tu Mera Hero from Desi Boys..I wanted this shade !!

The one Bruna wore looked like MAC Girl About Town to me..I searched for all Fuchsias and Hot Pinks..would share all the shades I liked out of those I found,in a separate post later..

After comparing the shades online and checking some reviews, I found Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia is indeed super close to Girl About Town..though Girl About Town is a little more deeper and Revlon Fuchsia is a little more cool toned…but they are quite similar..

1 swipe, 2 swipes

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks come in a black criss cross pattern packaging with the shade color at the top..they are quite smooth and glide on easily..this bright shade is super pigmented..and in one swipe you get enough color..in two it comes out fully..stays for around 4-5 hours without eating or drinking..feels quite light on the lips..

Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia is a cool toned bright pink shade..it looks amazing both as a stain and full blown..this shade would look great on all skin tones..I have seen dusky girls rock bright shades more..

I love how this shade brightens up the whole face..Also seen HERE

Check out the shade Peach and the complete review for Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks HERE

MRP: Rs.610/- for 3.7g

Now these were priced at 550 when they were launched..then they raised it to 580 and now 610 for the new and hot selling shades..I don’t think they should keep on increasing the prices like that :/

Some shades are available at Rs.499/- on Flipkart..check them HERE

Overall I love this shade ! And surely recommend it..if you love bright pinks, you are going to love this..did I get the shade similar to Bruna..I am not sure..her seems more bright coz of the camera and all..but but I am loving this..and have no regrets..all girls should have a hot pink in their stash 😉

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Peach Review, Swatches

-Available in 20 gorgeous shades, including 5 new shades!

EXPERT TIPS:

Apply directly to lips for beautiful, high impact color. Can be worn with or without lipliner.

Ingredients:

Shades available:

  • Lilac
  • Mauve
  • Peach
  • Soft Rose
  • Rosy Nude
  • True Red
  • Crimson
  • Plum
  • Raspberry
  • Blush
  • Baby Pink

5 new shades introduced are…

  • Icy Nude

  • Petal
  • Pink Sugar
  • Candy Pink
  • Cherry Ice

I am not sure if these new shades are available in India yet..I have not seen them anywhere yet..

MRP: Rs.580/- for 3.7g

The shade I am reviewing is 075 Peach..its a true nude peach shade with some fine shimmer…which is not much visible but gives glossy effect to the lips.

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks have this nice packaging..a rectangular shaped black case with criss cross patterns and the color of the shade it is on top. It has Revlon embossed on the lipstick bullet.

These are very creamy and moisturising and you can easily skip a lip balm with it. They have a slightly weird smell..but not too strong or bothering.

Now I had heard mixed reviews about the shade Peach…coz it washes out some..so I was not too sure..but I loved the shade so much that I could not resist getting it and I am glad I did…it does not wash me out at all..instead it gives a soft peachy sheen to lips..and in one swipe its quite a MLBB for me !

But as its a light shade..it would not cover pigmentation if you have pigmented lips..with one swipe it gives a soft peachy sheen and its quite buildable…and with 2-3 swipes it gives you perfect peachy lips. But the staying power of these is ok..it stays for 2-3 hours without eating or drinking..and lesser with it..but leaves a tint behind.

And how it looks on me…

Pros:

1. Very creamy and moisturising.

2. These are quite buildable…and darker shades are more pigmented.

3. I love the Peach shade..and would surely recommend it if you are around NC 35-37 or below…gives a nice peachy sheen to lips.

4. This does not settle into fine lines.

5. I liked the black case and packaging.

6. These are quite sturdy and easy to carry around.

7. Has a shelf life of 3 years.

8. Feels very light on lips..you would not even feel you are wearing a lipstick.

Cons:

1. Expensive for a lipstick but though these are very good in quality.

2. This shade would not show up on pigmented lips and would wash out people above NC 40.

3. 3.7g of quantity offered is quite less compared to other lipsticks which are normally 4 or 4.2g

Overall I quite like them and love the Peach shade in particular. I am eyeing Blush next..;)

All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.
4. These have a shelf life of 3 years..so do not worry if you have too much makeup and think you can never finish stuff.
5. The applicator wand is shaped to exactly fit the shape of your lips.
6. All the shades offered are pretty good.
7. The shimmer is very fine and not OTT and neither does it stray away from lips.
8. I like the long sleek packaging.
9. It has sweet almond,olive,chamomile and avocado extracts.
Cons:
I did not find any cons with it actually !
Overall I am in love with this…the shade, the texture, packaging, everything..

Revlon Manicure Essentials Kit Review, Photos

Revlon Manicure Essentials Kit Review, Photos

Hey first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you…sorry for not posting from the last 2-3 days..I was unwell….yes unwell on new year 🙁
As I had said before my cousin from US got me the Bath and Body Works JCB Body Lotion and this Revlon manicure kit.

What the Company claims:  Compact kit for perfect manicures on-the-go. Includes four expert tools.
Everything you need for a professional manicure in an easily portable kit. Includes four expert tools for the perfect manicure–Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer, Curved Blade Nail Clip, Compact Emeryl file for flawless shaping and a Buffer for a brilliant, natural shine. Deluxe nylon carrying case protects tools for easy transport.

  •  Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer pushes back cuticles and keeps them neat.
  •  Nail Clip with curved blades safely trims nails.
  •  Compact Emeryl file shapes and smoothes nails quickly.
  •  Buffer creates a high gloss shine. Gentle enough to use everyday. 

Over 75 years of superior quality.Precision crafted, fully inspected to ensure exceptional performance.

It has lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects (but sadly valid only in US and Canada. 🙁 )

How to use:

  • First soak hands in warm, soapy water to prepare. 
  • To trim nails: Clip from each side of the nail towards the center. Do not cut below the nail line. 
  • To shape nails: Start with Emeryl file’s shaping side to shape nails. Follow with finishing side to smooth and shape. Always file in one direction to prevent splitting. 
  • To trim cuticles: Push cuticles back with contoured end of cuticle trimmer, then glide metal end (with V–tip facing up) along cuticle edge.
  • To buff nails: Remove all nail enamel before buffing. With the white surface, buff vigorously across the nail until stains and ridges are removed. Using the grey side, finish nails to a brilliant shine.

MRP: I am not aware as its a gift..but at international.drugstore.com it says Rs 260/-

We all know the uses of a nail clipper and filer as we are using it from a long time. Let me share with you the uses of a cuticle trimmer and buffer.

Cuticle is the protective seal between the nail plate and the skin. However, some people tend to have thick and rough cuticles. The cuticle skin gets thicker and also grows in a upward direction. In such cases, a cuticle trimmer can be used. However avoid cutting excessive cuticle skin as it can leave your nail at risk of infection.A cuticle trimmer is a nail care product which is used to trim rough, thick cuticles and hangnails. Thick cuticles give an unpleasant look; hangnails around the nails can catch clothes and cause a lot of pain. To solve this problem, you can get yourself a cuticle trimmer. However, a cuticle trimmer should be used occasionally as excessive trimming of cuticles can lead to infection. It also helps making the nails appear longer..especially for those who have short nail beds. But do not forget to soften the cuticles using oil or moisturiser before trimming them.

Buffer on the other hand gives a nice healthy sheen to the nails.A nail buffer is what is used to smooth out the nails and remove any pits and ridges – hence it buffs them up.

Coming to the kit..

Pros:

1. Its economical at this price.
2. Has the 4 necessary tools required the most,
3. Quality of the tools is damn good.
4. Comes with a pouch with separate holders.
5. Easy to carry around anywhere as the pouch would snugly fit in.

Cons:

1. I did not find any except the availability issue as I have not seen this in India..but if you happen to lay your hands on this…do get it…coz it would stay a long time with you..

Rating:

Quality- 5/5
Value for money-5/5
Availability-2/5

Overall rating-4.5/5

Would I buy it again: I would need to…but as a gift I would surely.

Have you tried this kit ? Which other brand have you used ?
