Another one of the products that I received in my Revlon Selects package (you can see the nail products HERE) was a Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipstick in Backstage (shade 035). I’ve been wearing it around for a couple weeks and I have definitely formed an opinion about it.

It’s really silky to glide on. It has pretty opaque coverage after just one layer, and is a really flattering vampy red colour. Unlike a lot of other darker shades, this one doesn’t dry my lips out. I find a lot of times that darker lipstick shades end up being a little bit more harsh. I wouldn’t say that it’s moisturising, but it doesn’t make things worse. It also stays on a long time. Crazily long. I have issues getting it off with makeup remover. It really lives up to the Stay part of ColorStay. On the website it claims to be food proof, and that is 100% true. It doesn’t have much of a taste, or a smell, which I prefer. I also like the way that the lipstick clicks down so that it doesn’t wind itself up in your purse. It’s handy.

I’m planning on picking up a couple new shades the next time I’m at the drugstore. I like the fact that it stays on forever and feels nice. It comes in a few lighter shades that I’m interested in trying out.

Have you tried a new lip product lately? How do you keep your lips hydrated in the winter?
