Revlon Colorstay Soft & Smooth Lipcolor
Texture: Soft & Smooth, like the name. Long-wearing, doesn't dry out my lips.
Smell: YUCK! Really. Why, why would they make something you put on your lips smell like crushed bitter pills mixed with water?!! I think I could get high from this lipstick! And not the good kind of 'high'. I mean, I'd rather smell Vodka (which I don't even like drinking, by the way)
I hope it's not just mine that smells like that.
Price: Rs.600 (bye bye!)
Shade ~ #290 Heavenly Mauve
I didn't even want to swatch it! The shade is pretty though. Pinkish-mauve in daylight, but it looks kinda light peach in yellow light at night (?)
Look at that scrape on the side. It's that soft.
Anyone else has this lipstick?
If you don't, I urge you not to buy it! Unless, of course, bitter pills are your thang =)

I generally don't buy Revlon lippies..but was planning to buy from the Colour Burst range..
ReplyDeleteDid you check with any of your friends who bought this?? is it the same for all lippies?
Thank God I did not buy this last evening while I was browsing their counter..
ReplyDelete@GGG~ I want the Colorburst too. I'm not sure about all lippies...will have to check with others. But their Colorstay foundation also smells like medicine so...
ReplyDelete@Pooja~ hehe...thank god indeed
♥xx♥
That is a very convincing post :-) I never think of doing a smell test before buying a lipstick, but now I will be sure to do that first! The color is so pretty.

ReplyDeleteEeeks!! Really a regret..
ReplyDeleteSmelly lipstick? Yuck!lol. Glad to know. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, this one sounds really bad! Never tried it and won't be trying it! :D
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this in Malaysia yet.....but when I do, I must give it a whiff and then decide! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the alert hun! I wont be shelling out my hard earned money to buy such a smelly pippy! The color looks nice though! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog from Rati's blog. I'm glad to see so many Indian bloggers on the scene, its like one big happy party :)
As for the lippie, this is slightly off topic but I have one really terrible smelling ointment (according to other user reviews, to me it smells sorta like roses)which is THE best lip balm ever... go figure :)
Oh no...600 bucks gone down the drain :( sad \
ReplyDeleteHD
I do not have these lipsticks.They look very pretty.But I have some lipsticks, which are very different color than they seem.Anyway,I love your make-up of these posts.

Bitter pills are definitely not my thang so I will be avoiding this lippie for sure! =\
ReplyDeleteoh sad....such a expensive lipstick but bad result.
ReplyDeleteRevlon has some of the nasties smelling lip products! I don't have this lipstick, but I bought two of their color-stay glosses, and OMG they smelled like vitamin C tablets mixed with water!
ReplyDeleteEwwww! This one speaks GROSS in my list now! I bought a Revlon one just a few weeks back and didn't like it either! I mean the colour was to my liking and all but it doesn't stay for long!I also had to say bye bye to my money. Well my favourite one is Maybelline, which I bought last year! Its got such a nice smell which makes me wanna eat it! The range is Moisture Extreme Lipolour.
ReplyDelete@SnC~ hehe...yup yup..yuck!
ReplyDelete@Deepa n HD ~ Ya, money down the drain >.<
@Shilka~ Lol..I guess the medicine smell is Revlon's trademark :D
@Rij~ Hi...I love the Moisture Extremes too :)
♥xx♥
god the lipstick looks horribly dry!!!! the top most pic by the company looks so inviting though!
ReplyDeleteWhew , good thing I don't have this brand. And no, better pills are not my thang ahaha . Thanks for the heads up on this Cynths, I'm gonna stay away from it thank you ^_^

I actually have this and the smell isn't bad at all,.... But mine doesn't resemble mauve even closely, like you said it's peachy. Wy name something mauve when it isn't mauve. Jeez. Money wasted. it's too light for me.
