Hello lovlies! So today's post is going to be about a NEW lipstick range from REVLON called ULTRA HD which claim to have a wax-free high definition gel technology which delivers high pigment and shine to the lips without the stickiness. I got 3 shades from this collection so lets get started.
There are 20 shades available internationally in this range and in ME we have 14 shades which have been released. The shades i got range in pink/red/coral family and all have a distinct vanilla scent to them. The lipsticks themselves do not taste of anything. The shades i got are Poinsettia, Gladiolus & Hydrangea. Have to say the whole range has some amazing shades available from brights to nudes. So we all will find something. Having said that i do not know how the nude shades fare compared to the brights as i just got the bright shades to test out. These lipsticks even though pack-on in the shine department they do not feel sticky on the lips, they dry out after 1 hour to a semi-matte finish.
The lipsticks go on ultra smooth and seriously are pigmented beyond anything. The wear time is a bummer but i guess thats the case with any 'shine delivering' lipstick. The texture of these lipsticks remind me of the creamy matte lipsticks from bobby brown but more on the creamier side, if that makes sense. The way they go on as in the resulting pigment and lustre is very unique. They feel cushiony and soft. I always think if i press too hard they might squish down! ;D Having said that yes the wear-time is low, close to 3-4 hours on me but there is some significant staining afterwards. The lipsticks really feel weightless and glide onto the lips like a dream. They give intense color in just one swipe.
Gladiolus - is a warm orangy bright red which goes on so smooth and creamy. This shade is a shinier & redder twin of lady danger from mac. Its my personal fav. Not patchy atall.
Poinsettia - is a true red with blue undertones and would suit every skintone. This went on smooth too and was really flattering on my tanned self. This one had the most staining power out of all the shades.
Hydrangea - is your run of the mill peach shade which has a lovely even finish. This one is also patch-free and goes on smooth.This one does have a lil silver glitter in there which shows up after the lipsticks dries down. Great shade for this season.
All these lipsticks are great for this season. One can layer them on for intensity or dab them for a lovely glow-y stain. The only drawback for me is the packaging. The wear time too but after years of playing around with makeup and learning about it i am not surprised if a luster finish lipstick has a weak staying power. The packaging on the other hand is abysmal, it reminds me of the crappy packaging of WetnWild lipsticks wherein whenever one pulls out the lipstick the top of the bullet always brushes alongside of the cap making it all messy and sticky. So its def a no-no for me just for the packaging. The lipsticks on the other hand i really enjoyed.
PRICE: AED 52.
AVAILABILITY: Lifestyle UAE, Carrefour & other Hypermarkets.
