Revlon Ultra HD White Matte Lipcolor Obsession review

product

Revlon has been heavily marketing this product all over Tokyo. It was quite hard to avoid seeing it so I gave in and decided to test it out. I chose Obsession because I am a big fan of pink lip colours.

with and without the tint

first impressions:

• contains A LOT of ingredients @.@
• colour pay off is incredibly high
• applicator was really helpful to spread the product
• colour is extremely vivid
• the product is very thick
• weird/artificial sweet coconut smell (it says it has a mango and whipped vanilla fragrance)
• rubs off easily (transferable)
• easy to spread product
• not matte
• gives a flawless finish

vividness of this lip color

I am quite in love with product... but I would still prefer using my Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm because this product is slightly too thick for comfort (contrary to it's claim of lightweight). When I apply it, it is hard to pretend I am not wearing anything on my lips because I can feel it. It is extremely transferable because it does not fully dry. It felt like I was wearing layers of lip stick... that being said, I was impressed with the colour it produced and I was surprised how long lasting it was. It also does not tint nor stain lips at all.

Pros:

• hydrates lips
• sturdy container
• gives a flawless finish
• easy to spread product
• the applicator glided the product on smoothly
• colour lasts for a long time (even after food!)
• colour pay off is high and vivid
• no lip tinting or staining (this can be a pro or con)

Cons:

• transferable
• not matte
• strange artificial smell (can be a good or bad thing... I wasn't a fan of the smell)
• doesn't fully dry
• despite it not drying, if you aren't careful and make a mistake, it is hard to correct because of the thickness of the product
• sticky
• very thick
• not lightweight at all!!!!

Score: 9/10
