Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color and Hyper Matte Lip Mousse | Review and Swatches

It may not feel like it right now but spring is right around the corner and soon it will be time for soft makeup and bright lipstick.

Revlon has a great selection of trendy pigments to choose from so today I am featuring a few of my favorite new shades.

There are actually two collections of matte liquid lipstick that differ in texture, color payoff and consistency. The Ultra HD Matte Color looks like lip lacquer with a shiny vinyl finish that takes a while to dry. Despite gradual transfer it holds up well and the stain is quite pretty.

If you prefer creamy formulas, the Matte Lip Mousse is soft, shine-free, lightweight, buttery and buildable but it may take two layers to achieve consistent coverage. Once dry the color usually stays put for a few hours with no dryness or flaking.

I prefer the regular Matte HD formula because application is easier and it doesn’t slide around as much as the mousse. It also shows up better on medium to deep colored lips.

No matter what finish you choose there are trendy hues for all occasions including deep red, bright pink, coral, neutral and everything in-between.

The mango and whipped vanilla scent smells wonderful and the doe-foot applicator helps you navigate around the lip contour with ease. You’ll love how plush, hydrating and smooth the lipsticks feel, especially during winter.

Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish: Review & Swatches

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Revlon makes beautiful lip products and the Ultra HD Vinyl Polish is no exception.

There are 12 trendy shades to choose from including fuchsia, classic red, sultry berry, violet, nude, deep burgundy and bright orange – a little something for everyone.

If you love lush, dramatic color with a bold lacquered finish and plump, scintillating shine then look no further! Infused with rich pigment, vitamin E, shea butter and aloe extract, these glossy vinyls keep lips moist and supple with no feathering or fuss.

The color glides on full-coverage, consistent and dramatic in one coat and hugs the curve of your lips to create a voluminous, juicy pout. I can wear these for hours without having to reapply because the rich texture clings to skin without stickiness, mess or discomfort.

After testing most of the shades, I think it’s best to use one layer and a little extra if necessary. When applied excessively, the color doesn’t look as neat.

Left to right: 950 Act Natural, 975 Rule The World, 935 Berry Blissed, 925 Birthday Suit, 910 Cherry On Top, 915 So Shady, 920 Power Up and 960 Date Night.

The delicious whipped vanilla scent is a bit strong as you pull the wand out but I love the candy aroma. Even as the color begins to wear away, my lips remain smooth, soft and hydrated which makes the polish perfect for chilly autumn days.

My favorite shades for fall are: Berry Blissed, Cherry On Top (blue-based bright red), Power Up (great orange-coral for Halloween) and So Shady (dark burgundy-wine).

Act Natural is the lightest shade in the collection with a soft pink finish while Birthday Suit is a neutral pink. Date Night has a mauve - dusty rose undertone that looks amazing on medium to deep skin.

Rule The World is a summery hot pink that looks gorgeous on everyone.

The Lip Polish retails for $11.49 CAD and Revlon is available at drugstores nationwide.

Revlon Super Lustrous Matte Is Everything Lipstick: Review and Swatches

I can still remember the first bright lipstick I ever purchased. I was in high school and still learning about beauty products and makeup application. My signature shade was a dark wine from MAC and I wore it almost every day until I saw a girl on YouTube swatch the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks.

The next day I went to Walmart and bought the shade I wanted to try – 660 Berry Haute. It was unlike anything I had ever worn and I was a bit intimidated.

When I put it on I remember feeling confident, stylish and pretty. The color enhanced my complexion and introduced me to a world of vibrant possibilities.  

Revlon recently launched the Super Lustrous Matte Collection and I'm obsessed with the texture, quality, color payoff and formula. 

These mattes are velvety, rich and supple for effortless glide, bold saturation and flake-proof wear. No matter how much you layer on, the lipstick remains comfortable, flexible, lightweight and non-drying so you can reapply throughout the day with no caking or feathering.

Infused with vitamin E, the creamy formula drenches your pout in a variety of  eye-catching hues that compliment all complexions.

Many of my high-end lipsticks cost upwards of forty dollar so it’s refreshing to discover gorgeous, full-coverage pigments for just $8.99. At that price you can stock-up for every season and occasion.

On Canada's Day I wore Red Rules The World and Power Move has become my go-to lip color for girl's night out (it is super sassy!). Even the soft neutrals like Rise Up Rose and Audacious Mauve are balanced with flattering pink undertones that look gorgeous on everyone.

The color usually lasts a few hours and I only have to top-up after meals or cocktails. I use the outer edges or point to outline and shape my lip contour but the ColorStay Liners help with precision. 

Forward Magenta (1^st on the left) is a summer essential (seriously, you need this shade in your life) and on date night try Purple Aura.

If you are looking for stunning matte lipsticks that accentuate, hydrate and define, these are wonderful!
