Best and Worst || Revlon

I really like discovering new products through blogs and finding out peoples opinions and reviews on products before I buy them so with that in mind I thought I would do a series of 'best and worst' of individual brands and I thought I would start with one of my favourite drugstore brands which is... REVLON as you may have noticed in the title!

The best....


 My first favourites from revlon are they lip products in general! All of these are easily my most worn lip products from my whole collection and I have a lot of lippys!! The Just Bitten stains (in the middle) have A M A Z I N G staying power, they literally last the whole day! However they can be quite drying and as you can see in the picture the mini balm on the other end has snapped off in all of them! I don't really use them but still annoying. The Just Bitten Kissable balm stains on the far left and far right of the bottom row are similuar to the stains but obviously are a balm and these are much more moisturising than the stains but still have that same staying power - the balm wears off after a while but the colour really stays put without being as drying as the previous. And finally, the lipbutters! These are gorgeous - so moisturising and a really subtle colour that is easily buildable and there are also sooo many different shades so you'll definitely be able to find a colour to suit you! :)

These are a couple more of the best products, in my opinion, from revlon. Firstly is the photoready cream blush in the colour "Flushed". This is really good for adding a nice "flush" of colour! ;) I apply this using a stippling brush (the one I use is from Elf) and just build it up to a good colour for my skin tone. This doesn't have any shimmer or anything so I usually apply a highlighter over the top! But it's great for anyone who likes a blush without shimmer but doesn't want it to look "flat" as this gives a nice dewy finish. Secondly is the photoready foundation - this is actually too pale for me at the moment but it has a lovely amount of coverage without looking to cakey or fake. I'm a fan of the dewy finish and this does just that! It also lasts most of the day and even longer when using primer. I also like the colourstay foundation but I've actually run out at the moment but as I'm saving for my holiday in Seattle in a couple of months I'll wait until then where I can pick one up for a few quid cheaper! And finally is the colourstay liquid eyeliner. I love felt tip style liquid eyeliners as I find them much easier to control and apply on my eyes and this one is great as it doesn't smudge like some do and has great staying power.


And the worst...
There's not much I don't like from revlon but this mascara I really didn't get along with! I found the brush to be too big and bulky and didn't do much for my lashes which is unusual for me as pretty much every mascara I've tried works well on me as I have fairly long curly lashes anyway! I also didn't notice any difference in the length of my lashes after using this mascara which claims to have the power to help your lashes grow.

On the whole I haven't really tried any other mascaras from revlon as I usually stick to maybelline for mascaras! The nail polishes are also nice but I don't think they're any better than other nail polishes such as barry m - by no means are they bad I just prefer others but for me the foundations and lip products are the winners for me from revlon!

Have you tried any of these? What are your thoughts? Do you have any other favourites from revlon?
Thanks for reading! :)

  1. I agree with you on the revlon photo ready cream blush.

    I also love their Just Bitten Balm Stains. It reminds me of the Clinique Chubby Sticks.
