Coral Madness

I was feeling a little low today and Revlon is buy one get on ½ off at Walgreens so I went on a little shopping spree. I ended up getting 4 corals from Revlon: Blaise Apricot, Hot Coral, Siren, and Coralberry. I absolutely love corals for spring and summer it’s such a flattering happy color on me.

Blaise Apricot and Hot Coral are both in the moondrops formula. I’m not really fond of the smell, but it’s nowhere near as horrible as the stench of L’oreal lipsticks, so I’ll live. These have the traditional the-kind-of-lipstick-your-grandma-wears kinda smell …powdery hint of floral. These lipsticks are fairly moisturizing and they feel comfortable on my lips. My one tiny tiny gripe is that I feel like they apply streaky on my lips if that’s even possible. (Though perhaps it’s just sad sorry dry state of my lips at the moment.) Blaise Apricot is a nice “neon” pinky coral when applied heavily, but applied sheerly, it’s a nice bright shade that totally wakes up my face. Hot coral is a lovely orangey/coral/red. It’s not as in your face as say a red lipstick, but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. I have a feeling this is going to be a summer staple lippie for me!

Siren and Coralberry are in the super lustrous formula. These have little to no detectable scent which is nice. I think these feel a lot more moisturizing on my lips than the moondrops which seem a little “waxy” in comparison. These feel like a lip balm on my lips, very light weight and comfortable. Coralberry is a nice wearable pink that leans coral. It’s a nice tame daytime coral-y lip color. Siren looks tangerine-ish but goes on a beautiful peachy coral red-y on my lips. I actually really like this color a lot!!

Overall, I think these are fabulous lipsticks with great color selections. Way to go Revlon! I will definitely be buying more lipsticks from Revlon in the future! Anyone have any recommendations for other Revlon lipsticks to check out?
