Revlon Matte Lipstick: Pink About It



 I freaking love this lipstick!

I bought this from Ebay on Saturday night and it arrived Monday morning! Revlon Matte lipsticks are about £8 in Boots but I found mine for £2.50 with shipping for just £1! Seriously Revlon here is incredibly overpriced and I really recommend checking out Ebay for bargains and the ability to snap up colours that aren't available in the UK.

I'm so glad I decided to try the lipstick. I've put myself on a little MAC ban for a while and I'm not regretting it one bit! I prefer this to MAC mattes any day of the week. It's genuinely matte but with a creamy formula that lasts forever on my lips. The colour of this particular shade 'Pink About It' is really interesting: a neutral toned reddish pink that is super flattering on my pale skin but I think it would suit lots of tones. It also has no scent which for some people is a huge plus point.

A great alternative if you find straight up red a bit threatening, it can be applied as a bright lip colour or dabbed on for a slightly softer look. I also love the packaging, it looks and feels really chic and the top is clear so if you store them stood upright you can easily see which is which. I'm definitely a convert to Revlon lippies and I've already sneakily bought myself another colour which I'll show once it comes.

I hope everyone's having a good valentines day with your loved ones or indulging in some serious self pampering! My boyfriend is working and I'm sat at home with a terribly bad throat in my jammies so we're going to have our own late valentines day when we both have a day off and I'm no longer infectious. Yay!

How have you spent your day?



 Have you tried any Revlon lippies? What are your faves?

  9. Hey Gorgeous =) I wanted to buy MAC's russian red but the formula was somehow too dry and the color too bold.. This shade however is really pretty and it looks creamier than MAC's matte formula.. I love matt finish but my lips are too dry at the moment T.T

    1. I've never been too impressed with MAC's matte lippies. My lips are just too dry to deal with them but this felt like any other lipstick so I was really happy. Thankyou for the comment lovely <3

    1. It is, it's a little pink and a little red but not too much of either :)

  11. I have this lipstick in Nude Attitude, and will soon purchase Wine not =) I love it, although they dry my lips a bit, so Burt's bees underneath is a must =)

    I spent my V day in the library studying for my finals, and then went to my wing tsun practice in the evening... both me and my Bf don't celebrate V day, cause I think that you should be thoughtful to your partner every day, not just on Women's day and valentine's and days like that =) tell me what you think!

    p.s. which shade did you buy next? :D

    1. I definitely want to try Nude Attitude it looks gorgeous!

      Aww I totally agree that Valentines day shouldn't be the only day that you are romantic with the one you love but I quite like the idea of dedicating a whole day to each other - as often we're all so busy we don't get time!

      I bought Strawberry Suede which will hopefully arrive soon :) Thankyou for your great comment!

  21. The colour is just how the kind I like ! Kind of red but It seems a bit pink and coral at the same time ! Plus I'm really into matte lipsticks =) I own 2 matte ones from Sleek (heartbreaker and Stiletto) and I like the finish so much =)
