Revolution Pro Lipstick Review

07/11/2018

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a recent story where I showed this selection of lipsticks that I picked up in our local Superdrug when I was sniffing around the new bits they had in. I was after a red lipstick as I’ve unfortunately parted ways with my Mac Ruby Woo (I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere!) and this pack of lipsticks stuck out to me as if rays from heaven were beaming from behind it.
I of course had to pick them up as they were just £7 for a pack of five – two packs couldn’t even get you ONE lipstick from Mac, so the bargain hunter in me couldn’t resist.

I would have shown you the box they all came in, but I forgot to keep it for the purpose of this post and chucked it in the recycling; so I’m hoping these pictures will suffice.
To demonstrate all of the colours in the pack, my intention was to wear each shade this week after swatching them all. However, that’s not how it panned out and I’ll explain why a bit later on, however I’ve put in a photo of the swatches I took below (please excuse how pale my hand is, I’m due a bloody holiday and haven’t fake tanned for a while!)

Red Make Me Crazy, Red Fever, Red Born With It, Red Wine & Red Expressions


On first impressions I thought they were really creamy, pigmented and moisturising, so couldn’t wait to give them a go, especially given how much I love their eyeshadow palettes.
On Sunday I tried out the Red Expressions with my Mac Spice lip liner underneath and LOVED it, I did have to dab it a few times after application, but it looked great when we headed out the door for food shopping and Sunday roast at the in-laws.

I tried out Red Born With It on Monday and found it was a bit too pinky for skin tone and had to re-apply a couple of times during the day as it went a bit patchy.
On Tuesday I tried out the Red Born With It and ended up taking it off as it looked like utter shit. The colour was lovely but it didn’t apply very well, came off on everything and when I went to the toilet for my morning loo break, I couldn’t believe that nobody had told me what a mess I looked.

Verdict

If you’re after a lippy for a night out on the town (as long as you’re not planning on smooching everyone – it’ll definitely smear everywhere, so probably not worth it) then this is a great cheap option; you get a great pigment, sheen and it feels lovely. But if you want something that’s going to last you all day at work, then this isn’t a great option.
I’d like to give their lip paints a go, so let me know if you’ve used them in the comments below and make sure to share if you found this post helpful!
Until Next Time

    Red Born With It looks like such a beaut shade! They all do to be fair! Such a shame that the majority of them were a little disappointing.. Especially considering most people these days prefer a long wearing lipstick that will last all day xo

    Girl I’m actually SO excited to see a beauty post from you!! I’ve got to say, I absolutely adore Revolution but their lipsticks just really aren’t up to scratch. I have headed back towards more satin lip formulas recently as matte ones have been a bit harsh on my lips and they’ve been fabulous giving me a bit of colour whilst not drying my lips out! I’d recommend MUA lippies, I absolutely adore a lot of them! I really want to try some Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks that aren’t matte as I love their staying power so much!

      Haha thanks lovely, I don’t tend to do them that often as I like to leave it to the pros 😉I’ll have to have a look at some MUA ones and I’d LOVE to try a Charlotte Tilbury one too (not sure I can justify the price though haha!) ❤️❤️

When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
