Hello Lovelies,
I hope you had a wonderful week-end. Mine was rather relaxing and as usual I did a little bit of shopping and I've been busy prepping more posts for my blog. I scored these two Revlon lipsticks from CVS's clearance a few days ago for 75% off and wanted to share with you swatches and reviews.
Sandalwood Beige is a muted coral brown shade with a cream finish. It's quite creamy and applies without pulling. The pigmentation is also great and I can easily get opaque coverage. The wear is also pretty good. The color looks fresh within the first 4 hours and during that time frame it also kept my lips comfortable and fairly hydrated. I've also noticed that even after a meal, the fading is minimal. After 6 hours, even though it has faded a bit by then, I was impressed that there was still a considerable amount of color left. Most lipsticks I used are almost or completely gone in 5 hours or after I have a meal. If you dig the shade, I'd recommend you get it. The formula is excellent.

Copperglow Berry is a lovely shimmery plum with a hint of coppery shimmers. It's similar to MAC Baron's Rose and MAC Funbathing, both are limited edition. The finish of Copperglow Berry is just a bit different and less glossy. It's labeled as a pearl finish and I found it to be pretty frosty. I still love the shade though. It feels creamy and applies smoothly with a fairly decent pigmentation. Almost opaque coverage. As far as moisture, it was ok. It keeps lips comfortable and moisturized for a few hours. I get up to 4 hours of wear before it starts fading.

Revlon makes some of the best drugstore lipstick formula and I'm very pleased with these two lipsticks. I wished Copperglow Berry was just a little less frosty and I love that they are unscented so I don't have to worry about weird smelling or tasting lipsticks.
Price: $5.00-$8.00
Availability: Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target

Thanks. It's got a nicer formula too
DeleteI love Sandalwood Beige! I love the formula of Revlon's cream lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteI love getting those CVS deals on the Revlon lippies. Revlon makes nice lipsticks.
DeleteThey both look so even in how they apply but they aren't shades I'd go for! I want pinks and nudes right now!
ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of colors, particularly those are not typical.
DeleteI personally like Copperglow Berry for me, but I think they both look good on you...with Sandalwood Beige edging out Copperglow Berry for you.
ReplyDeleteThe finish on Sandalwood Beige is nicer I think. If Copperglow was less frosty I would dig it more.
DeleteSeeing the first pictures I tought I would like better the Copperglow Berry, but I end up liking more of the Sandalwood Beige on you!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!
