Within the Revlon Ultra HD Lipcolor category, you can go super matte or super glossy – and while these shades launched in March, this is the first time I’ve seen them properly. Wow! If you love your lips absolutely drenched in colour and extreme at either end of the matte/shiny scale, you’re in luck.
I’ve been seeing an awful lot of mattes recently and Revlon’s offering doesn’t do that ‘insta-dry’ thing where you can virtually see your lips contracting under the spell of the mattifying powders. It actually feels like a sheen on the lip when you first put it on and dries to a flexible feeling finish thanks to a gel like formula that’s wax free. If you’re new to mattes, this is a good place to start. The shades I have in that formula are Obsession (first in swatch lineup) and Passion (fourth in swatch line up). If you don’t like flavours to your lip products, you might want to avoid these because it’s a vanilla/mango mashup!
In terms of the Revlon Ultra HD Lipcolor Lacquer – there is no stickiness to this gloss at all. I should look into the missing ingredient from glosses that are sticky and glosses that aren’t – I don’t personally mind a bit of tackiness because I am used to it – but really there is no need for any gloss, it seems, to have any hair catchy sticky element to it. The shades are fully saturated, vibrant colours with a kind of vinyl effect finish that should feel heavier than they do. I’m so impressed with these! In the swatch above, second swatch is Garnet, third is Tourmaline and fifth is Topaz. Tourmaline has an iridescent/golden shimmer to it which on top of an ultra bright pink is amazing in intensity.
The Matte Lip shades currently have £2 off them making them £6.99 HERE. The Lacquers are £7.99 each HERE.

Every time I go check these out, either have low amount or sold out. I really want to check them out, I’ve heard so many good reviews on these. This was a great post !!

I must say that I secretly prefer the ulra hd matte formula to any other matte formula I have tried so far. It is the most comfortable matte and looks really nice. I wrote a small post about it on my blog but now reading your post maybe I should have made more praises to the formula than I did.
I didn’t find that the Revlon “mattes” dried at all (and I waited a considerable amount of time) or that they lived up to the matte name – I actually wondered if Revlon had temporarily forgotten what matte meant! Their matte crayons are so much better than these.

Yes, if you want a super-dry looking matte, these aren’t they.. more of a dry sheen?
I found them very moveable and transferable which to me is something a liquid lipstick ought not to be doing. More of a satin-look gloss type product from my perspective. I do hope the Maybelline ones fair better, I’m hoping to get those this week x
I’m obsessed with Revlon so I think I would like to try this product!!!!
