makeup question...
 

I was wondering what people think of Revlon makeup and products?

uh, they're o-k......

just bought their long last lip liner a week ago....yeah, it broke off and is gone, ruined, finished. it was like i bought rimmel products or something for .99....and rimmel products are fiiiine, b/c you don't expect something that cost less than $2 to not be as good as, say, revlon........but when revlon doesn't last near as long as rimmel....then, yeah. :mad: :p

i just think there's other, better stuff out there. i used to be a clinique girl, then estee lauder, but now i am a cover girl and damn happy about it (hello, true blend!!!!) :D the few times i have bought anything revlon, i have been disappointed.....i've tried it all. trust me. i'd go with l'oreal over revlon anyday.

AlphaGamDiva, did you get the kind you have to sharpen? That's the only Revlon product I've been unhappy with. Other than that I LOVE most of their stuff, especially the lipstick, cream eyeshadows and nail polish.

I've only tried Revlon lipsticks, and I don't like them. They stay on and all, but they taste nasty. And they smell nasty. Kind of like face powder an old lady would wear, or the way my grandmother's closet used to smell. I just couldn't get past it.

LOL! So true! I tried Revlon lipstick when I was 16.....weeeiiiirrrd. (no offence to those who like Revlon)

They have "de-scented" their lipsticks the past couple years and they now have no odor. Which I hate, because the smell reminded me of my mom.

I'm a fan of Revlon's LashFantasy mascara - it's like L'Oreal Double Extend, except it goes on sale a lot more frequently.

I've also heard good things about their 'Skinlights' line, but I've never tried them personally.

LOVE the skinlights...very flattering...

But I cannot stress it enough, many dept. store brands own drugstore brands and packages and it's the same stuff. I seriously recommend Rimmel @ Wal-Mart and Target....great quality and selection for the $.

I've been using Rimmel mascara for the past 6 or so months.....I used to be a Maybelline girl but I think I've been converted!

I love Rimmel mascara!

I also like their lip gloss.

I've never heard of rimmel, the cheap brands in FL are NYC and Wet an Wild. They're ok I usually buy nail polish from them.
I like some of the stuff from Caboodles, and Jane was all i used in high school, they have nice shadows, but lately I can't live without MAC studiofix and lipglass, and also Juicy Tubes from Lancome. I also love stuff from those "cult" brands at Sephora like Urban Decay and Tony and Tina.
On the cheaper end, Maybeline's Wet Shine Diamonds Lip gloss is really nifty for the price it makes your lips look really wet and Cover girl Outlast lip color is the best for going out. I don't know that I've ever used much revlon although their skinlights line looks really cool.

no, i used whatever is in the black tube....you just twist and it comes up......mom said the same thing happened to her. :mad: buttheads! and is anyone else having trouble finding the l'oreal lip pencil in nude??? we can't find it anywhere!!!!! :eek:

NYC is also a great brand for shiney lip gloss. my sister says i always find the stuff she wants but can never find.....i always tell her she looks too hard in the expensive stuff. i'm a server, ppl, let's be rational. :) the jane eye shadow pods are FABULOUS!!! ya know how sometimes you find a color that you like, but once you put it on, you realize it's lighter/another color than you thought? these go on AS IS in the containter. so if you want some funky bright colors, get these! they have a great black shimmer and this silver dusty like stuff......fantastic! you can put it on with a wet eye sponge and it goes on even better!

Rimmel is an English brand. I don't know how available it is in the U.S but it's all over the place here. I have NYC lip gloss. It's not bad.

Well, if we've got it out here in the sticks, then there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to find it where you are! ;)

Adelphean - Rimmel is only available at Wal-Mart in the states. It is actually owned by Coty.
