DESCRIPTION–
Feel an instant burst of rich, true color with a feather-light feel Elasticolor technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin.*
OHMYGOODNESS. Drools.
I might have ambiguously showed this feeling to the people around me in real life — with hope they notice — but here on my blog I expressly want you to know that I have a romantic relationship with red lipsticks. I also have a poetic affair with double spaces after period but that’s another story for another time.
I describe the Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Crimson #095 (P575.00 for 3.7g) as a true dark brownish red color, which is I believe a perfect match to my yellow undertones. Reasonably the best shade of red you can get for a cheap price that surprisingly won’t bleed even without lip liners.

I had high expectations for Crimson as I kind of know what to reckon because I was fortunate enough to try the Mauve shade from this collection. Loved that one, by the way. Just like Mauve, Crimson is easy to apply and it is very moisturizing. However, staying power might be a roadblock but I got no problem with retouching.
I can actually picture myself to be reaching Crimson more than Russian Red but let’s see.
DOWNSIDE–
Revlon ColorBurst Collection has been continued.
Ouch.
My face this afternoon before going out for a quick grocery shopping. It has been raining here in Manila but I still can manage to wear a spaghetti strap top at home. Well, according to the news, today’s humidity was 93%.
Anywhooots, what’s your favorite red lipstick? Just one!?

Theyre already discontinued here. SIgh another good thing that Revlon discontinued. Their texture was SO nice!! BUt yes they wouldnt stay very long..like most other very emollient lipsticks tho to be fair. This one suits you really well Laarni, but Mauve is my favourite!

Hi Dee, same here but the store where I got this shade had still stocks and I think they also had Mauve. I was lucky to get one of the last tubes. Thanks for the visit! xx
