Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor

Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor

Colour: All night fuchsia

Description: 16 hours of comfortable colour. No touch-ups need - even after meals. Top coat enriched with chamomile, keeps lips comfortable and delivers the shiniest shine.

Directions for use:

Step 1: Apply lip colour evenly to clean, bear lips and wait until dry.
Step 2: Brush on top coat. Reapply as desired.

To remove: Use any oil or cream based make up remover or cleanser.

This package comes with a free Revlon colorstay moisture stain.

I first applied at 10 am as instructed. It felt thick and sticky when rubbed my lips together. I then applied the top coat. I had a hot chocolate drink around 11 am with very little transfer on the cup but the colour was still intact on my lips. I had lunch around 1 pm and that is when I noticed a bit of fading close to my inside lip area but the rest of the colour was still there. No touch ups so far. I did however applied lip balm as my lips started to feel dry.

I had a snack around 4pm and by that time when I checked in the mirror, the colour was half way gone. My lips didn't looked good. The colour was missing from half my bottom and upper lip, definitely,  not a good look.  However, I did feel my lips were dry and I only put the top coat but I did not reapply lip colour.

After dinner, I only have my lips outlined with the colour, all of the lipstick inside my lips was gone. Overall, this product fail to last the 16 hours as stated in the packaging.  I will not recommend this product for the 9 to 5 working ladies.  I will probably use it on a short night out, to have dinner with friends. Or even to out for a lunch break.

The other product included in the package was also in the colour stay family but it was a lip stain. This product is worse than the lip colour. I applied it around 9 am and by noon it was almost gone. It is a moisturised colour stay lip stain, which means your lips do not feel dry. This lip stain is not long lasting and if you want to have colour on your lips you do need to re-apply throughout the day.

Product Review: Dermatologica Super Rich Repair

Dermatologica Super Rich Repair

This is a well known, high end product.

Description: Recommended for the smart management and treatment of skin aging. Deliver immediate benefits to chronically dry, dehydrated and prematurely-aging skin with heavyweight cream.

Directions: Apply to face and neck with light, upward strokes. Wait for cream to absorb before applying additional products. Use twice daily.

My experience: This product is amazing! I have combination skin, however during winter my skin does get dry and this cream was perfect. It moisturised my skin in a way that worked with my whole face, it didn't make me shiny, it was not greasy and best of all, is fragrance free.  It comes in a pump bottle which is perfect as 1 pump will do my whole face.  I highly recommend this moisturiser.  You can find it on Amazon for £49.97 in England.
