Revlon Ultra HD Matte Liquid Lipstick in Forever and Kisses

by - April 01, 2019

Today, I woke up and said to myself that I would publish a new post earlier than usual, but I failed.  Haha!  Hey, I got to prep the photos ahead of time though.  😝

Well, I don't know if it's just me, but I really feel like Sundays are practically about thinking of being productive and shiz, and ending up becoming the opposite.  It is seemingly the best day to cross out the stuff in your to-do list or in other words, the things you didn't get to complete on Saturday.  However, since it's the day before the dreaded Monday, you'd rather spend it for excessive sleeping then, dilly-dallying because you're having second thoughts about that to-do list and finally, doing nothing.  #storyofmylife

So there, you know the reason behind these late Sunday posts.


Anyway, let me share two of my favorite liquid lipsticks from my stash.  I purchased one of them when I chanced upon a Revlon bundle which was on sale.  Then, I instantly liked it after the first try, so one weekend, I happened to score another tube for 50% off.  Original price was 575 php.

Color


Forever is a dusty brown-rose color, which is a perfect natural, MLBB lippie while Kisses is deep rose pink.  It's this bright and poppin' but if you applied a thin layer, it could still work as an everyday lip color.

These do not give one ultra-pigmented swipe.  I find the color buildable, but I could also work with just one dip to cover the lips.


Finish & Formula

The line is called Matte Lipcolor, but these do not dry down to a completely matte finish when you apply a generous amount, because they made it a moisturizing kind.  This also comes in metallic and I saw on Revlon's website that there's another matte variant called Matte Lip Mousse.  I hope it would be available locally soon.


These feel like creamy matte, lightweight lipsticks.  On the pictures, they are on the satin side, but they could still give a matte finish if you apply a thin layer.  These are very comfortable to wear - not sticky at all.  Plus, they smell like cupcakes.

Even on dry lips, I could still slap these on without a balm underneath.  Although, better to still moisturize to avoid chapped lips.


Application

I use these on my cheeks too!  The shades are so perfect to be used as a blush.  Here's how they look like when blended.


I used Kisses as a blush here.


Also, the applicator it comes with is bendy, which helps in a full-lip application.  

Lasting Power

The product transfers a lot but still leaves a nice stain.  Sometimes, it gets on the teeth too after applying too much.  😚

Since the shades I have are on the natural side, fading doesn't look horrible.


Dupe Alert

I was able to find a close color dupe as well for Forever and it's Maybelline's Creamy Matte in Nude Nuance.  Maybe like a slightly darker version? 😬


I'm really loving my Ultra HD Mattes!  I'm glad I got pretty colors too.


I would recommend these to those who want to give liquid lipsticks a try and to those looking for non-drying ones.  I know some shy away from matte liquid lipsticks because most of the formulas are not that comfy to wear.  These ones from Revlon are far from it so surely worth a shot.  Very appropriate for liquid lipstick newbies! 😍
