Revlon Fire & Ice

Let’s have a red lipstick week. Starting with a classic.

Revlon has recently reentered the market here. The brand can now be found in every drugstore. I picked up only this one item here, the Super Lustrous Lipstick Creme in 720 Fire & Ice. What I like about the Revlon offerings is that they are encased in plastic, meaning you get untouched items, huzzah. However, the products left me quite cold; there was no must have among them. Fire & Ice is a red lipstick that has been around forever so that’s what I chose to try out.

It’s not just red. It’s intense. The finish is creamy and it really doesn’t last very long (2 hrs max). I took to using a lip liner all over the mouth and adding the lipstick on top. This makes touch ups easier. The lip liner I use is by Kiko. 

Color comparison. The color was so unusual I didn’t know at first what to grab. I thnk it’s a mix of Kiko True Red and MAC Lady Danger. Fire & Ice is very intense, basically neon. It has yellow undertone.

Basically despite the fact that Revlon hasn’t been in the market here the last couple years, I know this color. I’ve seen many an older lady wearing it. When I put it on it was the first time ever I recognized a red lipstick as having seen it on others before. Weird and cool at the same time.

If you want this particular color then go for it. I don’t really recommend it though because the lasting power is terrible and Revlon isn’t that cheap either.
