It took almost a year for Revlon to release these in Dubai. A year! Why?
Why do these brands release their collections here so late?
Problem 1: There are limited brands available here in Dubai.
Problem 2: The brands that are available, do not release their full range in Dubai.
Problem 3: when they do...It's really, really late!!!
Enough with the rants. On to the review.
The Revlon Ultra HD Matte lipcolor was released for Spring 2016...(Yes, they grace us with their presence in October.)
There are 6 colours available in Dubai, Seduction, Devotion, Obsession, Addiction, Temptation and Passion.
Why do the names remind me of a character from some story obsessed with an ex-boyfriend and require a restraining order? But I disgress...
The lipsticks are housed in a classy, flat, oval frosted finish tube, with a burnt silver cap and a doe-tip sponge applicator. I really like the applicator here, as it is firm and helps in precise application of the lipstick.
The formula of the lipstick is rich and creamy, almost mid-way between a balm and a gloss with intense colour. Most colours deliver opaque colour in one swipe. However, the 'Matte' label is misleading. The lipstick dries down to a demi-matte finish giving a velvety look.
The lipsticks lasted about 4 to 5 hours depending on what you eat, though the lighter colours faded faster than the darker ones.
They are definitely not transfer proof, but are definitely not drying, though they might stick to any dry patches you might have on your lips.
Despite the non-transfer proof draw back here. I loved the formula of the Revlon Ultra HD Matte lipcolor so much that I went back to buy more after trying out the initial two.
The lipsticks are, rich , creamy, hydrating with strong pigmentation and absolutely beautiful colours ranging from nudes to berry tones to reds.
I have been using these lipsticks all of last month! Just can't stop using them. (hmm..maybe I should get backups?)
Seduction is a some what sheer nude colour. This was the only shade that didn't apply opaque despite 2 to 3 coats. However, it is perfect for the no-makeup makeup look.
Devotion is a pink with muted mauve undertones. This has been called out as dupe for the Kylie Jenner Koko K liquid lipstick, but I found it darker than Koko K.
Addiction is one of my favourites. It's a pinkish-purplish berry colour. Quite unique reminding me of one of the Maybelline watershine diamonds lipglosses, which have now sadly been discontinued. I'd tell you the shade but the 10 year old gloss tube that I have, has had everything erased off it.
Passion is a beautiful deep red with cool to neutral undertones. Though I may not be into red lipstick much, this is a highly wearable red suitable for all skin tones.
The Revlon Ultra HD Matte lipcolor is available at all Revlon counters throughout Dubai at places like Centrepoint, Carrefour etc.
Retailing for AED45 each, these are highly comparable to high-end lipsticks.
Have you tried these out? Do leave a comment if you liked the Revlon Ultra HD Matte liquid lipsticks, or you hated them. Id love to know!

From Left to Right. Seduction, Love, Passion, Devotion and Addiction.
The lipsticks are housed in a classy, flat, oval frosted finish tube, with a burnt silver cap and a doe-tip sponge applicator. I really like the applicator here, as it is firm and helps in precise application of the lipstick.
They have a sweet scent, almost like...well, a cough syrup. Revlon advertises on it's website as a 100% wax free, gel formula. The scent though fades away during application.
The formula of the lipstick is rich and creamy, almost mid-way between a balm and a gloss with intense colour. Most colours deliver opaque colour in one swipe. However, the 'Matte' label is misleading. The lipstick dries down to a demi-matte finish giving a velvety look.
