Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer Citrine - Review and Swatches



Hello all!

I hope you had a happy and delicious Thanksgiving, if you celebrate Thanksgiving that is. I'm thankful to have a long and relaxing weekend. Have you started your Black Friday shopping yet? I got my hands on some Tarte blushes already, he he he.


Packaging
  • I like the clear tube since I can see the color of the product. What I found interesting is that on top of the cap, there is a clear rhinestone. I wonder why they didn't had the same touch to the Revlon Ultra HD lipsticks.
  • It has a brush applicator with short bristles. I'm usually not a fan of brush applicator, I find the doe foot applicators apply more evenly.
  • .20 oz or 5.9 ml


Product
  • Citrine is a medium coral with greenish gold shimmers running through it. It's so pretty!
  • The pigmentation is medium to almost full coverage. The gloss feels a little thick and tacky. 
  • The sad thing is this gloss doesn't last very long either. I'd say 2 hours at the most. As it fades, I also notice that some of it goops at the corner of my lips. Eh weird! 
  • It has a sweet, caramel-like scent. 

Final Thought

The color applies evenly and looks beautiful. The formula is a little tacky and uncomfortable for me. In spite of that, I am surprised at how quickly it faded. I don't think I'd be repurchasing these.

Rating: 7.5/10

    2. The shimmer is quite gorgeous, it reminds me a bit of the Sephora + Pantone gloss when tangerine was color of the year. I'll definitely check out your giveaway! Thanks.
