Pros: I got it CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP !
Cons: Texture and consistency varies with color
The Bottom Line: If you can find a good bargain like I did, I'd recommend it otherwise, save your moolah.

| sharonshopper's Full Review: Revlon Colorstay Lipliner |
I have been searching for a lipstick with staying power since about 1991. That's when I turned 21 and was hitting the bar scene and thought it would be(insert head bob here) "so totally awesome!" to not have to carry my lipstick with me while I bar hopped, and danced to "MY PEROGATIVE." Boy have times changed, I no longer bar hop.. I hop out of my bed throw on some clothes hop in the mini van with the 2 kids, hop to daycare, play groups, grocery stores, soccer practice..blah blah blah.. Still, wouldn't it be nice to swab a wand over your lips in morning and not really have to think about it for hours? Sure it would.
WHAT REVLON OFFERS:
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Lip promises-Hour after hour of stay-on, stay-comfortable color. Transfer resistant. Won't fade, feather or bleed. The packaging reads *Smooth, satiny, liquid color enriched with vitamins.
WHAT I WANT
A lipstick that will withstand smooches on/from my 1 year old without her looking like she just smeared a cherry popscicle all over her face, one that can stay on even if I sneak a french fry or two. One that won't make my lips look like those raisins I just found in the back seat. Yes, I'd like it to not bleed or feather, but usually mine is gone before it even gets the chance to be seen let alone bleed...Whatever.
WHAT I GOT
I purchased 2 Liquid Lip's. They come nicely packaged in a clear tube with a wanded end. I bought one in Cordial which is quite similar to the color of the inside of one of those little chocolate covered cherry devils..(don't ask me how I know) Anyway, I really liked this color, I used a liner a shade darker than this color, just because it was rather light. It did feel moist not like shallack, like some other stay-put lipsticks I've tried. It didn't feel heavy and it smells pleasant. My husband was taking me out on an afternoon date, so I thought it the perfect opportunity to try it. It stayed on thru about 3 hours of playing slot machines and 1 strawberry daquairi. And a smooch or two.. Not bad, but I would expect a little longer lasting color from a darker color.
The other color I purchased is called Cherry fizz. One would think these were two were made by different companies. This color was thick, goey and went on in blobs. I did as the directions called with both, pump and swirled the wand in the tube. Applied, did not blot. What a dramatic difference in the two colors. This color also over stayed it's welcome. I tried like the dickens to take it off, as I didn't much care for the color, and the crap clung to my lips like Ted Kennedy to Vodka. I had to use baby oil to get it off, and still a hint of Cherry Fizz shone through. I ended up just slapping on some other lipstick over top it to "tone down" the RED stain on my lips.
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Lip comes in 40 shades, contains spf 15, vitamins E, A and C. Visit www.Revlon.com to check out all the color choices. I bought mine off a clearance rack at a drug store for .92 regular price is about $9.25 a tube.
Overall, I'd have to say this isn't my favorite stay-put lipstick, but... I guess that's "MY PEROGATIVE."
