Revlon's Kiss Me Coral Super Lustrous Lipstick: Fiery Coral for Summer

Starting this year, the Super Lustrous Lipstick line of Revlon has cut their prices down by a hundred bucks. So instead of P450, you just have to pay P350 for a lipstick. That's really great news as the formula for this line really suits my lips. I went to the Revlon counter to check out the different shades so that I could purchase a coral shade. Coral has been my go-to shade this summer, and I wanted to add another one to my collection.

I kinda got sidetracked with all the wonderful shades and it was hard to choose. I also tried on the popular shades like Really Red and Cherries in the Snow, but in the end I still went with a coral shade. I really wanted to get the shade Coralberry but unluckily the Revlon counter I went to didn't have that shade. I finally decided on getting Kiss Me Coral instead which I don't think is a super popular shade, but it's no big deal as what's important is that the shade suits me.

Here's what I think of this lipstick:

Color Kiss Me Coral is an orange-red shade and the orange color is more dominant than the red. I believe that I made the right choice as I already have many red shades, and coral is definitely the color I'm keen on wearing right now.

Packaging I like that the packaging is plain black with gold in the middle as it looks quite luxe for the price. It's also helpful that there's a transparent area on top so that you can see the shade that you are looking for immediately. 

Texture The Kiss Me Coral shade is under the creme variant of the Super Lustrous line, and as the name suggests, this shade does have a creamy texture. This is a good thing as the color easily transfers to the lips, and it applies evenly as well so there's no patchy areas on the lips.

Pigmentation This shade has good color payoff, and one or two swipes can really bring out the color. The color stays on the lips for a good 4 to 5 hours. Once I start eating or drinking, then the color starts to fade easily and I would need to retouch immediately.

This is such a lovely color, it's definitely one of my go-to colors lately. It would be great if you get to try out colors like these as well.

Hope you found this post useful!

My New Favorite Lipgloss: Revlon Colorburst in Adorned

I have never been a big fan of lipgloss ever since before as my experience with it has always been the worst kind. It would sometimes make my hair cling to my lips, what a sticky situation! Badly enough, it doesn't even stay on my lips for too long. I guess I just wasn't able to find the perfect lipgloss.

What I'm looking for is something not sticky and not drying on the lips, and at the same time I am hoping to find one pigmented enough that will be comparable to a lipstick. I happened to chance upon Temptalia's post regarding Revlon's Colorburst lipgloss in Adorned. It had such a high rating from her that even I got tempted to purchase it. Not to mention that the color is a lovely shade of pink, it immediately got a slot in my to-buy list.

I got really lucky as I was able to get this at a promo this month. You get any shade of Colorburst lipgloss free if you purchase any face product worth P500 from Revlon. I think this promo is still ongoing at any Watson's branch or SM department store. It's really worth it, as it seems that I got two products for the price of one.

Revlon Colorburst in Adorned, priced individually at P575, is a vivid shade of bright fuchsia pink. It might be a little too bright to wear on normal days, but it depends on you if you can pull off this color. It's really opaque and a few swipes can make the color pop out. There are also small purple glitters in the gloss which makes it extra pretty, but it's not really that obvious when applied. The doe foot applicator is also flatly shaped so it can be easier to apply to the lips.

This lipgloss lasts a really long time, even after you finish eating or drinking there will still be a pink stain on your lips. Talk about long-lasting! This can easily beat any high-end lipstick brands out there. 

Here's a pic of the product when applied. You can slightly see the purple glitters on the lips.

After 6 hours (eating and drinking included), there's still a slight pink stain on my lips.

So that's it! After getting this shade, I kind of have my eye out on the Strawberry shade, a girl can't have too many good glosses.

Any plans of trying this shade out or any of the other shades?

The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore

Hmmm what would be a great alternative to good ol' lipsticks? Aha I know! How about balm stains for the lips? Yes, can be, nice answer! However, this balm stain would need to have the staying powers of lipsticks. Is there even such a thing?

Ever since the Clinique Chubby Sticks came out, a lot of different cosmetic brands have followed suit. One of these brands is Revlon, and their version is called the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (JBKBS). It's affordable enough at P575, compared to the chubby sticks which cost almost twice the amount. The stick looks like a fat crayon that is retractable so the amount of product can be adjusted when being applied to the lips. There are 12 shades to choose from so knock your socks off!

A friend had been telling me of the goodness of JBKBS for quite a while already, raving about how long lasting the balm stain is on the lips. I'm not really a fan of balm stains but her high praise for this stuff had got my senses tingling. Every time I pass by Watson's I would check out the Revlon counter just for kicks! It was one fateful day in August that I decided to check it out again. Okay good move, it was on sale, as in 50% off!!! Can you believe my good luck? I did not really have plans of purchasing this in the first place, but how can you say NO to 50% off? The price of P287.50 was calling out to me saying Buy Me, Buy Me! Fine, I give up, time to throw out some cash.

Of course, I had to check out the colors first. I wasn't really sure which shade to buy. I only knew that I wanted a red shade. It was that time of the year wherein I had been eyeing red lippie shades. This Watson's store only had 8 shades available, and oh fudge there was only 1 red shade available. I guess I'm stuck with this one.

This shade is called Adore and it was not the typical red shade we normally see. It's more of a brownish type of red. I was thinking yuck does brown even go well with red? After the SA helped me put it on, I was feeling ecstatic. It blended well with my skin tone, and it's like this color was meant for me as it looked so natural on my lips! Wow I can't believe a color that I did not really like would suit me so well. I guess it pays off to test out products first before buying. Just to share, the texture is really glossy when first applied. When the gloss has faded, the color still stays which is really a big plus so there's no need to keep on retouching. I put on this lippie before dinner, and after we finished eating, the color was still on my lips. Cool huh!

Here are my thoughts on the product:

- nice color payoff

- really pigmented

- long lasting (confirmed!), just add more layers to prolong the staying power

- has a hint of peppermint when put to the lips which gives a nice cool sensation

- handy to bring around which is why I always have it in my makeup kit

Would I repurchase this? Yes and double yes! I really love this product and I would like to try out the other colors as well. Who knows, it might also suit me surprisingly! Hope they have this item on sale again next time haha :)

Which color have you tried from this line? Do share as well!
