lip swatches and mini review : Revlon Colorburst in soft nude

After much hesitation, I finally got the Revlon Colorburst in Soft Nude. I'm nc37-40 for reference.

It reads very similar to MAC Cherish on my lips.

Full face-it doesn't wash me out and give me that slightly mauve, purple-y, dead look (which l'oreal fairest nude and maybelline totally toffee give me if I apply too much):

PROS:
*no smell
*creamy
*wears off evenly, doesn't dry lips
*doesn't wash me out (nc37-40)

CONS:
*need 3-4 layers to really get color
*need to smooth it over with my finger after applying or else you see patches of my lip showing through
*not long wearing, 2-3 hours max

Wow that color looks TERRIFIC on you. May I ask, what foundation and blush have you used here?

Looks like a good pick for nude lips. I tend to stay away from Revlon b/c they always feel so dry on my lips. Sounds like they might have improved the formula. Thanks for sharing!
