Review:

Hello again everyone :)

Today I'll be reviewing this new Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Certainly Red (number 740) that I bought on clearance at Target. First off, the price was phenomenal! (possibly due to the fact that it was on clearance AND I received an additional 10% off work being a Target employee...) I think I got it for less than $3? Which is pretty darn good for a lipstick of this quality!

The packaging is very classic and simple: black with a gold interior. Gold=classy. I love it. It doesn't look very cheap, and that extra pop of gold makes me feel as if I were putting on Chanel lipstick :P 

The texture of this lipstick is just lovely. It is medium thick and the finish is creamy without being too 'in your face' glossy. I usually use a lip brush to apply it just for precision purposes, but during the day if I want to touch up I'll just use it straight from the tube.

It's so easy and quick to apply because the colour is so strong and bold that you really only need to use a tiny bit to get that hot red lips look! ;)Sometimes I'll even just apply a tiny bit to the centre of my lips and spread it out to create a more subtle lip stain!

This wonderful concotion in the form of a coloured stick to slap onto your lips does not bleed, is not watery or runny, and it stays put on my lips for hours of hardcore tea drinking and slurpee slurping. It's not perfect though- it does fade after a few hours, and it tends to leave a red stain. Obviously it will leave a stain because of its intense colour, and I honestly don't mind because I'm a fan of lip stains too! Anyways, the stain looks fine and will stay for hours as well :)

The colour is just phenomenal! It is definitely more of a bold, blue-based red colour, which (I think) is universally flattering. I'm a fair olive, cool-toned kitty cat and this shade works really well on my lips! I imagine it would look well on darker skin tones as well because as I said before, it is universally flattering.

 It's just one of those classic red colours that pin up girls would wear-very cute <3 It can make you look polished or casual, depending on how you dress.

Though I think this is a beautiful colour, for first time red-users, I may urge you to either steer away from this shade or use it in small doses just because it is extremely pigmented and may be a bit too bold for someone trying it for the first time. Maybe try a sheerer red? :)

BEFORE:

                                                                          

AFTER:

PROS:

• amazing pigmentation
• no bleeding
• no over-powering scent/taste
• universally flattering, classic, deep red
• great staying power
• classy packaging

CONS:

• leaves a faded red stain after a while
• may be too over-powering for first time users

Rating:

P.S. rating: 4.5/5

Do I recommend it?

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Certainly Red is an easy to use product to have on hand, and you'll definitely get your bang for your buck with it! The colour is classy and it stays put for a long time, with no bleeding or feathering. I definitely recommend this for regular lipstick users, and hardcore red lovers :P GIve it a try! :)
