Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain Review

The Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stains have been all over the beauty world lately and I can totally see why.  I was late in the game picking these up, but I’m really glad that I finally caved in and gave them a try.  I had to search a couple of stores to find these, but I finally found them at Walgreens and they were actually on sale buy one get one half off.  I only picked up two, BUT I think I’m going to have to search for more.  The Walgreens that I was at, only had a couple sitting up by the register.  I picked up Rio Rush and Cannes Crush.  Both colors were totally impressive.

The formula feels like a gloss at first and once applied, it’s not crazy sticky or tacky, but you can feel it on your lips.  It lasted about 4 hours and after that, I simply reapplied again.  The color lasted a good length of time.  It didn’t stay glossy the entire time, but there was still color on my lips.  After the “gloss” disappeared, I barely felt that there was any product on my lips.  So for those of you who hate that tacky feeling, you will love this!  I found this to be pretty similar to the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stains, but If I’m being honest, I can’t say which is better because I haven’t used the Revlon product long enough yet to compare.

PROS:

• The colors I picked up are packed full of color.  I seriously want all of them.
• No offensive smell to the formula.
• The packaging is gorgeous!
• The doe foot applicator makes it easy to apply
• It’s not sticky or tacky feeling
• It’s a stain so it LASTS!
• It didn’t really transfer to anything after I had it on for a while. At first, some would probably come off.
• Doesn’t dry out your lips. Actually features Aloe and Vitamin E.
• Price is great at under $10.00

 

CONS:

• Have one of the colors on and want to switch to another one (like I did for swatching). Yeah, not a good idea.  Once the product is on your lips, the stain really DOES stain your lips that one color.  Not a bad thing, unless you’re indecisive! LOL.
• Can still be a little bit hard to find at certain stores.  Just take your time or order them online!

I’m really into these lip stains.  I also think you could cheat and use these as cheek stains also.  Double duty products are always a great thing in my opinion!  These are perfect for the person who doesn’t want to have to fuss with their lip colors a lot throughout the day, but wants some sort of color on their lips.  These aren’t too shiny, but give a nice gloss to the lips.  Again, another drugstore product that looks chic and is just as good as some of the high-end products that are just like it.  With twelve colors to choose from, I’m sure you can find one you love!
