I’ve been trying Revlon’s new ColorStay Ultimate Lipcolor which claims to provide the wearer with 12 hours of food and drink proof lipcolor in one application. I’ve always been a bit wary of lipsticks with this claim as I find it hard to believe that any lipcolor could actually last that long particularly through dinner!

I have the premium pink colour which in the clear tube looks a girly pink colour but I find it more vivid when actually applied to the lips. Probably helped by my very pale skin which makes most colours look quite vivid. It goes on very easily, almost like applying a lipgloss. It seems very moisturising when you first put it on however after a few minutes my lips felt slightly tacky as it dried.  Even once dried on the lips it still gave a lovely colour without looking feathery.

To properly test the lipcolor I decided to try it on before dinner to see if the claims were true. Even after my dinner and lots of dapping with a napkin the lipcolor was still firmly in place and no reapplication was required. The lipcolor lasted all evening and looked as good as when it first went on. To replace the shine I simply applied a coat of vaseline over the top.  After washing my face before bed I was very impressed to find the lipcolor still in place!! It requires a bit of makeup remover to finally take it off however does come off easily enough with makeup remover and cotton wool.

Overall this lipcolor definitely lives up to its claims of providing 12 hours of food and drink proof colour. I would recommend it as it saves all those trips to the toilet to reapply your lipstick and I shall definitely by buying a few more shades!
