Right now I have a weakness for Revlon Lip Products; they preform well and are budget friendly (even more so if you know where to shop), they also come in a wide variety of shades and formulas
including my beloved matte formulation!
Revlon Strawberry Suede is a bright red lipstick with warm undertones with a slight yellow leaning.
In some lights it can look a little orange based and isn't completely dissimilar to a favourite shade of mine, MAC So Chaud. It has no blue tones so this won't give the illusion of super white teeth!
I find that shades like Strawberry Suede best suit warm skin tones,particularly those who have olive toned skin.That is not to say that light or cooled toned skin couldn't sport this.I personally don't believe in "make-up rules" and think you should apply whatever you fancy at the end of the day it's all about confidence and what makes you happy.
The formula of Revlon Matte lipsticks are simply fantastic, yes they are matte but unlike some matte lipsticks they don't feel thick and heavy on the lips nor do they dry out the lips as intensively as other brands - a slick of lip balm before you apply would serve you well particularly if you are prone to dry lips.Strawberry Suede is well pigmented and one application was all I required to achieve the high level of opaque I desire. I also find matte lipsticks to last longer than any other formula and I managed to get six full hours of wear from each application before requiring a touch up!
As a side note this shade did not bleed nor feather, so no need for a liner unless you so desire.
Product Summary
Round Up - A bright orange toned red lipstick that wears and applies well.
Best For - I think the formula will suit most even those with dry lips if they use a good quality lip balm beforehand, shade wise I think it best suits medium to dark skin tones.
Pigmentation - (9/10) A really well pigmented shade.
Availability - You can buy this from most UK chemists for around £7.99 but if you are money smart head on over to eBay where you can pick this baby up for £3.50 including p&p.
Wow this is beautiful! actually reminds me of velvet or suede when it's on your lips haha as weird as that sounds!!

ReplyDeleteI'm still a bit of a lip colour wuss, but I might have to check out the Revlon range, I'm in need of a pinky-nude.

love the shade of the lipstick.. never really purchase anything from Revlon but this lipstick looks gorgeous! Really suits you too!
ReplyDeleteHolly,xo
This is such a stunning and bright shade, love it!
ReplyDelete@helen - thank you so much :) aww i'm the same actually but somehow i'm comfortable with colour if it is matte haha! I have a few pinks to review so hopefully one will be perfect for you :) x
ReplyDelete@holly - aww thank you so much :) I never used to look at revlon goodies but now i'm hooked haha!x
@kelly marie - aww thank you so much x
ReplyDeleteVery nice lippie indeed :) And it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I think it looks very like MAC Vegas Volt. xxx
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love Revlon's suede matte lipsticks, wish I had the courage to wear a red lip though, I have no idea which tones would suit me! xx
ReplyDelete@dalaluz - aww thank you :) x
ReplyDelete@amy - oh yes :) I have totally forgotten about my Vegas Volt thank you for reminding me :) x
@michelle - thank you :) I know what you mean I shy away from colour too but oddly enough if it's matte i'm not so scared :) I think you would suit a really true red such as Mac Russian Red :) x
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for Revlon lipsticks too! Purse friendly, good quality and the packaging doesn't look too cheap. This is a gorgeous shade :-) xxx
ReplyDelete@becks - I honestly couldn't agree more :) and thank you I love this shade too :) x
ReplyDeleteSo many matte red lipsticks are so drying so its so nice to hear this one isnt. Might have to hunt it down, it's a gorgeous red
ReplyDelete@lea dee - I know some can be so drying that they aren't worth the hassle, i'm not going to saying this one is moisturising because it isn't but at least it doesn't strip the moisture off the lips which has to be a bonus :) x
ReplyDeleteI love matte lipstick, thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteEEE! ADORE!
ReplyDeleteoooh would really love for you to do a review on a red lippy with a slight blue tone in it! xxx
ReplyDeleteI've never owned or wore a matte lip in my life but this shades gorgeous! Very tempting...

I've also got a thing for Revlon lipsticks at the moment and I've even found my local make-up stall stocks them for only £2. So good for the price! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this shade, not sure that it'd suit me that well though!

ReplyDeleteI was planning to buy this, now I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI bought one long time ago on ebay for £3. Unfortunately I think revlon already discontinue this color.
ReplyDelete@mirr - yay :)
ReplyDelete@beauty shades - ah that is a shame as it is a lovely shade x
