I have never been a fan of lipsticks, it just reminds me of having to stick the gross stuff on my lips during weddings when I was a kid. I felt too old and grown up in it, so I've never bought a lipstick until this year. I was at Watsons and I usually never touch the lipsticks but Revlon had introduced a new matte line and I thought hey why not. I tried on Fabulous Fig, its a dark brickish brown red and I fell in love. Of course I had to go check it out on makeupalley and after seeing all the positive reviews I thought, could this possibly be the one, could this be the lipstick that breaks the all lipsticks taste like crayon curse?
Guess what? The curse is finally over. Revlon's matte line is great for those who can't stand any shimmer or gloss, like me. I like the naked feeling on my lips, so gloss and chunky glitter usually never works for me. Because of its matte characteristics, its a bit drying to use, a quick fix of chapstick or lip balm before it and your lips will be matte and moisturized. It has great staying power, more than a few hours, which is a miracle since I'm a lip licker. I lick and smack my lips together all the time, which is why gloss and I don't get along. What I like about Revlon matte line is the fact that there's no waxy feeling or smell, which made it absolutely revolting when my mom would force it on to my lips.
The color selection is amazing, I have no idea how to describe it, almost all the colors look great on me and it's weird because I don't have the most typical skin tone. I'm a light medium golden beige, not too dark, but not even remotely close to being fair. So far in Malaysia I've only seen a couple shades, I have 3 of them; Fabulous fig, Cocoa craving and Mauve it over. I think there's like 2 reds, that are striking, but I don't have the guts to pull them off...maybe one day. Mauve it over is a bit too light for me because I have quite heavily pigmented lips, but it looks good with a touch of lip gloss(ugh), so I don't really wear it that often. But I do wear Fabulous fig and Cocoa craving. Cocoa craving looks straight up brown but it looks amazing, it has a slight reddish undertone, giving it a natural everyday look.
I saw a BOGOF on Revlon's Super lustrous lipstick line, and I must say I really like Revlon lip products. This line has waaaay more colors and much smoother consistency, it has a bit of sheen, but its not glossy, the staying power is not has good as the matte line. I got quite a few of them, my favorite ones are Fleshtone (very natural), Rum raisin(looks kinda like fab fig), Bali Brown(the closest I've come to dark red lips) and another color I never use because it has a slight pinkness that turns me off.
