Review + FOTD: Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Buff/Chamois

I recently picked up my first Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss on a whim. I noticed the Colorburst line has been launched here for quite some time but I hate that they always limit the color selection in my country. When I was at the Revlon counter I saw only TWO different shades of the Colorburst lipgloss. I think it's bullshit, really. If they want to reach more people they should take risk and release all the shades from the entire line, not just the ones they think Indonesian women would buy.

I mean, how could they expect people to be drawn into their makeup collection if there's practically no collection to show off? If you see a makeup counter full of fun colors and various types of products, wouldn't you be excited and actually interested to check them out? On the other hand, when you see a makeup counter full of old-timey looking products, wouldn't you just rather stay away? At least that's what I feel anyway. I do hope the people at Revlon Indonesia read this, though.

So the lipgloss I bought is in the shade #032 Buff/Chamois. It's another creamy, peachy nude kind of color which I'm always drawn into. I must say that the pigmentation is quite impressive for a drugstore gloss. It's almost as opaque as my MAC Lipglass in Prrr and the color is pretty similar too. It has microfine glitters in it which are barely noticeable on the lips; they just give off that shiny effect.

The shade is not super-pale so I think it's very wearable. A lot of girls are worried that nude lippies are going to make them look dead but I can see this one looking pretty on people with different skintones.

My favorite thing about this lipgloss is that I have a compatible lipstick to wear under it: Revlon Colorburst lipstick in #070 Soft Nude. They really are a match made in heaven. Plus, they look so cute together in my purse. ;)

I should probably mention that the doe foot applicator is flat and flexible; making application less of a chore. It really suits the gooey consistency of the gloss since you can easily get the product out without having to dip the applicator like a hundred times. I just love it.

swatched: Soft Nude next to Buff/Chamois

As you can see, the gloss has a pretty thick consistency. When swatched, it almost feels like a liquid lipstick but don't worry, it's not very sticky. In fact, it's rather thin once it's on the lips so it's not at all uncomfortable to wear.

However, staying power is just so-so. I guess this is the case with almost every drugstore lipgloss I've come across, though. I keep having to reapply this gloss after about an hour. Not that I'm complaining because overall I think this gloss is excellent. I wouldn't mind repurchasing in another color.

This lipgloss is priced at Rp 70.000 (about $7-8).
