Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Cheers Review

I had tried a Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss before the one I had tried was in the shade Bordeaux and I was really impressed with it and I ended up wearing so much because the formula was amazing so when I saw the shade Cheers in The Original Factory Shop for £2.99 I knew I had to snap it. Unfortunately this particular shade has been discontinued but you can still pick up the glosses from Boots or Superdrug but not this shade. I still thought I would review it for you because a) I love it and b) you might be interested in trying out some of the colours that are in stock and the formula is the same so it will give you a general idea of what they are like.

First off I love the packaging, it is a very similar style to the packaging on the Chanel Lip Glosses. The lattice pattern on the lid features on all the lip products in the Colourburst range such as the Lip Butters and Lipsticks. I also like the fact that the tube is clear so you can see exactly what the colour of the product is which is really handy when you have a big collection of lip products. 

It has a doe foot applicator but unlike most this one is slightly flexible which allows you to get a much more precise application. This feels very light on the lips and isn't at all sticky. The colour is a deep fuchsia and looks lovely on  the lips. The formula does not fell drying and when it is on the lips it looks super glossy and shiny. The colour is very pigmented considering that it is a lip gloss and lasts pretty well on the lips as well. I'd say it lasts a good couple of hours although the glossiness doesn't last as long as this.  

I really like this lip gloss and I think that it is a really nice colour for spring. This shade was unfortunately limited edition so it won't be very easy to get hold of but Boots and Superdrug has a great range of colours  in stock at the moment for £7.99 which is a little pricey for a drugstore lipstick in my opinion but this is a really good quality lip gloss and I recommend this range 100%. I have been wearing lip gloss a lot recently and this is one of my favourites. I might do a post to show you my favourites if you'd be interested in seeing them .

Two Quick Reviews Of Some Revlon Products

I'm back. Finally my exams are over and I can go back to concentrating on my blog. I am so glad to be finally back as  I have missed blogging so much. I have lots of posts planned for you to make up for my lack of posts. I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you as a few days ago I reached 160 followers, I am so surprised by how many of you read my blog. I was going to hold a giveaway when I reached 150 but now I am going to wait until 200 as it will give me time to save up and buy a prize. Do you have any suggestions for prizes please remember that I am on a budget so I won't be able to giveaway anything too expensive. Anyway I'm going to get on with the post.  

When I went to the Original Factory Shop a few weeks ago I picked up these two Revlon beauties. I got the Revlon Colourburst lip gloss in Bordeaux and the Colorstay 12 hour eyeshadow quad in Coffee Bean. The eyeshadow has been discontinued and replaced by the 16 hour eyshadow range. 

First off the lip gloss. Revlon are famous for their lip products with their Lip Butters and Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains which are extremely popular with beauty bloggers. (I know I love them)

I had hopes for this lip gloss and it did not disappoint. I have never been a massive fan of lip gloss as I find that they are sticky and lack colour so I choose to wear lipstick but this isn't sticky and is highly pigmented.  

The colour is a berry colour with gold shimmer running through it. I love this colour and I think it would be perfect in the autumn/winter. 

The application of this is lovely as the doe foot applicator is flexible which makes it easier to apply. The packaging as always with Revlon is beautiful. I will definitely be on the hunt to find more of these. 

The eyeshadow quad is slightly disappointing compared to the lip gloss. I consider Revlon to be at the higher end of the drugstore and considering the new 16 hour eyeshadow quads retail at £7.99, I feel this lacks the pigmentation that I expected. The pigmentation is not rubbish by any stretch of the imagination as you'll see by the swatches below but I don't think that the product would be worth £7.99. 

I do quite like this quad as you can create so many different looks with it but I feel that the lighter shades do lack pigmentation and I expected them to be better quality considering how good other Revlon products are. 

I love the lip gloss as it is so pigmented and quite long lasting considering it is a lip gloss. It looks super shiny on my lips and I will be looking into buying some more. Another thing I like about it is that you can see the colour of the product which is handy when it is sitting with my other lip products. 

Have you tried any of these? Do you have any recommendations of shades to try from the lip gloss range?
