Revlon Colourburst and 17 Lasting Fix Lipstick

I bought two Revlon lippies and a cheap one from 17 to try out. I love the packing of the Revlon Colourburst lipsticks - very sleek and chic. I just got the 17 one for fun really as I though the colour was right up my street! There was hardly any selection for the Revlon ones, so I just got the last two colours that were left - Crimson and Carnation. The Crimson is very dark so I wouldn't wear it too much - its a lot darker than my Topshop one in daredevil. Strictly for a night out with a LBD methinks. The Carnation I am not too mad about - I would probably mix it with something else to make it a bit frostier. I prefer paler to brighter pinks. So surprisingly I really like the 17 colour in shell! Its my favourite out of the three (go figure). Its a lovely frosty nudey pink colour. You have to have patience when applying as it doesn't go on that well, and its not very smooth, but the colour is so sweet and its exactly the kind of colour that I love to wear during the day.

  1. Wow Crimson is so bold on you! I really like this look, it's so chic :) I picked up soft nude in the Revlon Colourbursts too! I really like the packaging, a lot prettier than I would have expected of a drugstore product, hey?

    PS. I was going to ask if you were Canadian by the way you spelled "colour" but I see you're from London! Hehe <3 I guess we stole the spelling from you guys after all ^^
