Revlon goes HD: Ultra HD Lipsticks Review & Demo

Revlon seem to be the most consistent yet innovative brand when it comes to lipstick department. Among many brands, it's my never-disappointing choice in the drugstore. Mattes, ultra shines, creams...you name it. Revlon is fully stocked with all kinds of formulas. Quite newly released Ultra HD Lipsticks can sound a bit gimmicky at first, but you'll be surprised that they can offer a bonus or two more than regular lipsticks. With pleasant formula and sin-worthy ice cream scent, they will hydrate your lips like a lipbalm and give rather optical volume to your lips. Second, they have a strong dessert-like scent like no other. They smell exactly like strawberry vanilla ice cream. I mean, come on, who could resist?

Če še niste slišali za Revlon, je to vsekakor znamka, ki ustvarja svetovne trende v razvoju ličil. Je vodilna znamka, ki osvaja same vrhe lestvic najboljših pudrov in šmink ter nenehno dopolnjuje svojo linijo ličil z inovativnimi teksturami, tehnologijo in koncepti. Je znamka številka ena, kateri tudi sama zaupam že dolgo let in skoraj nikoli ne zamudim njihovih novosti. Poleg Revlon Colorstay pudra, so šminke vrhunec Revlona - le spomnite se prihoda Lip Butterjev, cel svet je popolnoma zavrel v iskanju razprodanih kremnih šmink. Senzacijo so nato nadaljevale tudi druge znamke, medtem ko je Revlon že pripravljal nove linije. Pred kratkim lansirana linija Revlon Ultra HD šmink, se lahko na prvi vtis zazdi malce čudaška. Kako lahko spremeniš šminko v HD resolucijo? Nimam pojma, vendar le-te ponujajo bonus ali dva več kot navadne šminke. Prvič, formula je izredno mazljiva in maslena, ki bo skrbela za vaše ustnice čez cel dan. Poleg hidratacije, izgledajo ustnice tudi veliko bolj sočne in vabljive. Drugič, HD šminke imajo zelo močan vonj po pravem jagodno-vanilijevem sladoledu. Kakor je že Mateja poimenovala, dišijo te šminke popolnoma enako kot naša preljuba, sladoledna Planica. Le kdo se lahko upre tako mamljivemu vonju?

Texture is somewhere between Revlon Lip Butters and extra punch of color from Super Lustrous line. They are in fact, buttery smooth and creamy and melts only in matter of seconds when they touch your warm skin or lips. Revlon HD Lipsticks are usually opaque with 2 layers, meaning they can look a bit translucent with a light application. Due to extra buttery texture, that's more a plus rather than a downfall. With bolder colors, it's expected to wear a lip pencil as I generally don't trust highly creamy formulas. Still, they manage to stay in place on it's own and form a cushion feel on your lips. Revlon HD are ultra comfortable to wear all day and they don't irritate my lips whatsoever. As expected, longevity is not impressive as the lighter shades of HD lipsticks disappear within 2-3 hours. Orchid, a bolder shade of purple pink, leaves a strong stain and prolongs wear for additional 2 hours. Finish is somewhere in between creamy and shiny.

Revlon HD šminke imajo teksturo, ki je sicer podobna njihovim Lip Butter-jem, vendar je formula še precej bolj mazljiva in kremna. Dejansko so izboljšana verzija starih Lip Butter-jev in se topijo kot maslo na topli koži ali ustnicah. Zelo mehka formula je tako odlična za vsak dan, saj ne draži ali iritira ustnic po celodnevnem nošenju. Ultra HD šminke so sicer popolnoma prekrivne z dvema slojema, hkrati pa so malce prosojne le pri nanosu z enim slojem. Kar teoretično niti ni slaba stran ob tako masleni formuli. Sicer nisem imela problemov z razmazovanjem ali premikanjem same teksture, kljub temu pa priporočam svinčnik za ustnice pred nanosom kričečih barv iz Ultra HD linije. Kot verjetno že pričakujete, obstojnost ni vrlina mehkih in kremnih tekstur. Svetlejši odtenki kot so Rose, se obdržijo okoli 2-3 ure, medtem ko živahna Orchid preživi dodatne 2-3 ure zaradi ''stain'' efekta. Sam zaključek HD šmink je nekje med kremnim in svetlečim zaključkom. 

810 Orchid is a blue toned fuchsia with purple undertones but transfers rather like a neon fuchsia pink. It has tiny specks of blue shimmer for volume effect and are visible only on the sun. It's vibrant, joyful and would easily compliment any skintone. I just wish it would transfer the same as it looks in the bullet.

810 Orchid je v tubi nenavadno vijoličasta barva ciklame, na ustnice pa se nanaša kot svetlejša neon roza barva s hladnim podtonom. Vsebuje mikro, svetleče modre delce, ki so opazni le na soncu. Barva je živahna in kar kriči po pomladi, hkrati pa bi pristajala prav vsakemu tenu kože. Želim si le, da bi se nanašala malce bolj vijoličasto, kakršna je v sami tubi.

830 Rose is like a perfect solid warm pink. It's neutral yet slightly more saturated than your regular nudes or rose shades. It's a solid pick as it's a low maintenance shade with effortless cushion effect.

830 Rose je popolna topla, nevtralno roza. Vsekakor spada med bolj vsakodnevne odtenke, hkrati pa lepo poživi obraz. Ni naključje, da se ta odtenek tudi najbolje prodaja.

Truthfully, I love them due to the strong ice cream scent. If it weren't for the scrumptious scent and buttery formula, these would be just another line of their Lip Butters. It's actually this formula that's truly reminiscent of lip butters. Still, the consequence is melty formula that's easily used up within a month or two of regular use. If also touch the packaging theme, it's not the best as it gets easily dirty but with carefulness, it's not a major problem. Revlon is sold worldwide, depending on your country. You can order Revlon also on Asos and international Boots. Revlon HD Lipsticks retail around 10-12€ for 3g. 

Iskreno, obožujem nanašanje teh šmink na moje ustnice. Tekstura je popolno maslena, kot pravi ''butter'', obenem pa dišijo kot majhne doze sladoleda, in to slovenskega. Brez teh dveh dejavnikov, me linija sicer ne bi tako močno pritegnila. Zaradi tako mazljive formule, se bodo verjetno te šminke tudi malce prej porabile. Če se dotaknem še embalaže, je za moje oko zelo lična. Vsekakor je lahko z njo malce packarije zaradi daljšega pokrova, ampak če ste pazljivi po naravi, ne boste imeli problema. Revlon je prodajan po vsem svetu, v Sloveniji pa ga lahko dobite v Iliriji, spletni trgovini Click2Chic, večjih Mullerjih in Tuš drogerijah. Revlon HD šminke stanejo okoli 10,89€ in vsebujejo 3g izdelka.
