Revlon Strawberry Suede Matte Lipstick

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!

I recently purchased Strawberry Suede along with a few other shades and have to say I am really impressed by Revlon's Matte formulation. Like the majority of Revlon products Strawberry Suede comes in sleek and classic black matte packaging that doesn't look cheap or nasty!

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.
