Afternoon everyone! I hope you are relaxing and enjoying this Sunday. 🙂 I have two lippies that I picked up awhile back to show you today: Revlon Ultra HD Matte LipColor in Seduction and Passion.

On the left is Passion and on the right is Seduction. I found the formula of these strange. They went on kind of thick but spread nicely. But they aren’t matte by my definition. They have a sheen to them, and they never dry. I guess the good thing is that they don’t dry out your lips like traditional matte lip products?

I used Seduction in a makeup look awhile back and I really do like the way it looks on me, I can find other matte lip products that are actually matte.

Would you like a close up of my lips? Oops, too late. 😛 At any rate, Seduction is actually much lighter on me than my swatches above show – of course, getting color accurate swatches is always a pain in the rear.

In case you’re wondering about my eye makeup, I’m wearing Urban Decay Grasshopper (brighter green) + Crowbar (crease), L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner (tight line), CoverGirl Intensify Me! eyeliner (wing & top liner).

All in all, I guess I’d have to give Revlon Ultra HD Matte LipColor a pass. Good thing I only bought 2 of them, if I’d shelled out more money, I’d be upset! What do you think about these new lippies that are marketed as “matte” but aren’t?
