Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipstick Forever Reviews Summary

Longevity

Pros:

• "It really stays on all day. ALL day-no touch up required."
• "This stays on so well! It is like a latex base so it'll peel up a bit after awhile, and I'll scrub off the peeling bits before I reapply."
• "I’ve been wearing it over 10yrs....maybe over 20! It really stays on all day."
• "I never reapplied it and it was still there!"
• "Lasts all day without reapplication."
• "This lipstick (all colors in this formula) pretty much lasts all day."
• "It lasted my entire 10 hour shift without touchups."

Cons:

• "But it’s not. It does smear on your teeth eventually perhaps after 1 hour and not easy to wipe off."
• "Seems to still flake off and need reapplication after eating."
• "The longest I’ve found is six to eight hours."
• "It didn’t seem to really penetrate and wore off pretty quickly, making the lip color look flaky after less than eight hours of wear."
• "The color isn't as bright and only lasts about an hour."
• "Seemed great at first, but it did not even last 4 hours."
• "For the first couple of hours, it's great. But after my first cup of coffee is gone I notice flaking."

Color & Texture

Pros:

• "This Revlon formula goes on smoothly and stays on for hours."
• "It stays pink basically the entire day."
• "It’s a beautiful color and doesn’t get caky or cracked."
• "This is the perfect colour. Not too orange, not too pink, bright enough to notice your lips without looking theatrical."
• "It applies smoothly and is neither too thin or thick."
• "The color is a darker pinky-brown (it's hard to describe - not red, not burgandy, not brown... I guess that's why they called it 'Sienna') and I have pretty fair skin and I love the color."
• "The color of this lipstick is fabulous. People are always commenting on what a pretty lipstick color I am wearing."

Cons:

• "But worse of all they do not give you as much as you might think. I must have used it no more than 4 times and there is hardly any left."
• "This color is way too 'day glo' to wear as a daily lipstick."
• "The color isn't as bright and only lasts about an hour."
• "The wand for the clear gloss to seal the color had tiny brush hairs that fell apart all over my lip on first use."
• "Now it was faded, the gloss doesn’t last long, and I can see where it was starting to come off on the inside of the lips."
• "The color does not apply smoothly and looks patchy after a few hours."
• "The colors are also different on the inside of the tube then the outside. They come out much lighter/brighter then what you see."

Moisturization & Feel

Pros:

• "The clear moisturizer keeps lips soft and fresh looking."
• "It works, it does not dry up your lips."
• "Even the gloss they provide to wear on top stays put."
• "These do keep moisture in my lips so they don’t dry out."
• "So easy to apply, it doesn’t bleed, and the gloss makes your lips look plump and moisturized without feeling heavy or tacky."
• "Best part is that it lasts all day without any sticky feeling."
• "I’ve tried several long lasting lip colors and this is my absolute favorite. I find that the color lasts most of the day, and my lips get dry, I just brush on the clear gloss for some extra moisturizer."

Cons:

• "But it’s not. It does smear on your teeth eventually perhaps after 1 hour and not easy to wipe off. It does dry out your lips leaving flaky residue on your lips."
• "This product dried my lips so badly."
• "Sadly this lipstick/gloss is super drying if you let the gloss part wear off, it starts feathering very badly and wears off in patches after only about an hour."
• "I find this very sticky and heavy. Not a very pleasant texture."
• "It makes my lips feel stiff and then, it starts to chip away and has a cracking appearance and then completely comes off when eating."
• "The base is incredibly sticky, sometimes even when gloss is added."
• "Initially my lips were tacky, then sticky, then flaky and finally dry."

Application & Packaging

Pros:

• "I like the product because it leaves a stain on my lips, and when it wears off, I still have some color."
• "The shape of the tiny sponge applicator makes it easy to apply neatly and it dries pretty quickly."
• "It is easy to put on and gives me great color that last."
• "To apply, you swipe on the color, which goes on really smoothly, and wait for it to dry."
• "Just follow the instructions and BAM! You're set."
• "I love the gloss that comes with it too."
• "I absolutely love this lipstick! It's been my trusted companion for over a decade now, and its charm never fades."
