I have colorburst in Blush which has been discontinued :( I absolutely love the shade. Its perfect nude for me. The color might wash out some dark toned beauties.
Pros:-
Moisturising.
Color payoff is good and is buildable.
Long staying power (3-4 hrs without meals)
Amazing packaging
Cons:-
None

Will definetely repurchase in different colors

I have a few of these in various colours; 025 (Carnation), 070 (Soft Nude) and 096 (Petal).

The packaging is beautiful and very upper-class looking. I like how the colours are displayed on the top of the lid. Carnation and Petal are hydrating, but Soft Nude seems to be very dry on my lips! I find that quite strange.

Overall, while I think the colours are beautiful, they are not long-lasting for me. They have a tendency to slip off as soon as I eat or drink. Unfortunately, I won't be re-purchasing.

My absolute favourite lipstick, glides on effortlessly, doesn't dry out lips and stays on extremely well with the help of Lipcote. Another good thing is it is extremely versatile in the way of coverage, you can choose to use it merely for a hint of colour or build it up to a bold statement lip. Cannot reccomend enough.

I am a fan of Revlon Super lustrous lipsticks, and I am really liking the Colorburst. The packaging is fantastic and looks and feels very high-end. I love the all black, matte finish and that the top of each tube matches the shade inside. I think its, by far, the nicest packaging you can find in a drug store product and a close second to MAC. Like the Super Lustrous, these have no scent or taste, which I love. They go on very smooth and creamy and are long-lasting. Love them!

I'm using cherry ice. I was actually looking for a striking red color but since such was not available when I was craving to buy a lipstick, I decided to give Cherry Ice a try. Yep, it's red, but not hte red that I want. However, giving it 4-6 layers would satisfy the redness that I want. Anyway, this is for me, just an ordinary mid-range priced lipstick. Nothing extraordinary about it. I also find it easy to swipe off the color. Just few mucnhing and drinking and the color is gone. Though Ive found a trick to have its color stay unto your lips, by putting (after your lip balm of course) a layer, then dab your lips with a tissue with loose powder (to make it matte, a secret to long lasting lipsticks), then layer it again. My usual non-long lasting lipstick would stay for like 6 hours even after eating and drinking! I dunno if this would dry up your lips. I have dry, chapped lips so i make sure ive put lipbalm first, but this one does NOT dry my lipstick at all, nor worsen the dryness. But as ive said, I always put lipbalm first to protect my lips from chapping.

I would not buy this again, why? As i've said, I'm looking for a super striking red with long lasting color lipstick. So I'll maybe buy MAC's Russian Red next time after I'm through with this one.

It's a good lipstick, sufficient enough to not have 3 lippies. At first application you get a very sheer coverage, but you can build it up by blotting with a tissue and reapplying. The consistency feels like a chapstick and has a pretty gloss over it. Color goes on smooth and even. However, the downside of having such a creamy formula is the effect of having it "slip and slide" if you're to smack your lips together so be sure to blot a little if you want to keep it in place more effectively. It isn't long lasting so I do find myself having to retouch about every hour or two, but at least I don't get that dry feeling on my lips!

I have this is Raspberry and Rosy Nude! They are fabulous!

It is very buidable, so I can go for a very soft warm lip with a tint of reddish, that looks very natural and nice with just one swipe. Or for a darker more red lip with a few layers.

It's also very moisturizering and doesn't leave my lips dry.

A side back would be that it does not last long. At least not for me, I tend to rub my lips a lot together and lick my lips and it smears a bit and rubs off.

I'd just like to say that this is one of my favorite drugstore lipsticks at the moment. I bought the color Candy Pink, which is a sheer Barbie pink. To my surprise, it was really sheer when I tried it on the first time, but it's build-able. It's a super smooth and creamy formula. It didn't dry my lips out or leave any kinda disgusting residue. It's very moisturizing. The staying power is okay, but you might have to do touch ups every once in a while throughout the day.

The packaging is cute, there's a nice selection of colors, it's inexpensive - so really, what's not love? I will definitely be going back to the store to buy a few more shades like maybe a nice nude or plum.

This lipstick is great. It has high pigmentation and color. When you put it on, it has shine. It looks like you even put on lipgloss on top and it does not dry your lips. It is definetly not matte for anyone who wants a matte lipstick. The pakagaing is great and so is the price if you find it for buy one get one 50% off. The color also lasts. Love it!

I got this color in crimson. It was .80 cents in a clearance bin in K-Mart. I really like the formula. It glides on very nicely. Plus it is very pigmented, a little goes a long way. The case... um, package thing which the lipstick bullet is in feels very nice. Not cheap or plasticky at all. Definitely worth more than .80 cents. I think I'm going to pick up a couple more colors from this line.

I have a bunch of these lipsticks and they are the only ones that I reach for when I want to use lipstick. They are creamy, pigmented and scentless, which are the essential qualities I look for in a lip product. I am extremely happy with this product by Revlon and they are one of the rare drugstore products that I repurchase over and over again. I have given this lipstick to friends and family just to show them how good they are. I do think that these are comparable to HE lipsticks in the quality of the product itself. Clearly, the packaging will never be as good looking as a Chanel or a Guerlain, but I do recommend this one if you are ever looking for a good lipstick that is on par with the more expensive brands.

About the comment saying that these are getting discontinued: I sent an email about 10 days ago to Revlon Customer Service and here is their reply:

Thank you for your recent comments from the Revlon website and for taking the time to contact us regarding Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick.

This product is not being discontinued.

Thank you for your interest in Revlon products. We hope to continue serving your cosmetic needs.

So clearly, there has been a misunderstanding, which I wanted to clear out.

I bought soft nude and baby pink
im ABSOLUTLEY in love with the soft nude shade!!!
and wear it everyday and my boyfriend loves it! The lipstick stays on well and I love to reapply throughout the day because it is smooth. I always put my carmex on before which makes a difference as well.

As for the baby pink I do like it but much prefer the soft nude for a natural pink/nude look.

This lipstick is wonderful. I got the color soft rose at CVS for about $2.70 during clearance. It stays on about the same as any other lipstick and fells like its a lip balm instead. I would definitely repurchase. The packaging is very classy reminds me of Chanel :]

Better get these while you can: They are being discontinued & Walgreens & CVS are having clearance sales right now.

True Red is the only one I have tried from this line, but is it what it says a True Red, very moisturizing and The package is classy too.

I've got nothing but love for these lipsticks. I own four colors now, and I paid less than $5 for all of them! :)

The colors are great, the package is super cute and super sturdy, they aren't drying and glide on like a dream. The only downside is that they don't stay on quite as long as other lipsticks do.

I really do love this lipstick. It's smooth and absolutely comfortable to wear. It packs enough color and it rarely applies patchy on my lips, something I despise about lipsticks. The formula is really nice, it' almost glossy but incredibly smooth.
I have four colors, peach, soft rose, cherry ice, and raspberry.
Peach- as much as I love these lipsticks I have to say I absolutely do not like this color. I saw so many pictures and reviews of this particular shade and it seemed lovely so I bought it. I am so disappointed because it doesn't even look like peach on my lips. Instead it turns into a nude but extremely FROSTY color. It's just plain strange. I do love the formula though, but I'm disappointed because it just looked so pretty in the tube.
Soft rose- I Love, love, love this color. It's almost the same shade of my lips, like a rosy dark pink that makes my lips smooth and slightly glossy.
Cherry ice- I feel disappointed with this too. Dot get me wrong it's actually a very pretty color. It's a sheer red that's juicy and provides that healthy flush of color but can be built up to deepen the color. The only thing is that it full of glitter. Not shimmer but chunks of glitter. I don't know I feel like it would have been better without it.
Raspberry- this one is slightly shimmery but it's subtle and not really noticeable. I like it, it's like a soft red with a hint of berry.
Overall I really do love the formulas but kinda disappointed about the peach and cherry ice shade. packaging is nice, it's simple and basic, and the longevity is prolly about two hours or so. I really do wish that cherry ice didn't have chunks of glitter but oh well, I'm still on the hunt for a sheer red lipstick then.

Got this lipstick in 075 peach to go with my newly gingerfied hair and I love it. Packaging is sophisticated and sturdy not to mention the awesome little revlon imprint on the bullet itself. As for the lipstick itself, it isn't incredibly pigmented but a nice balance between sheer and opaque so can make the look dramatic or leave it subtle. The colour is a really pretty neutral peach making it a very wearable every day colour and a nice way to try out the orange trend. The finish is slightly glossy and in terms of scent there are no major issues, there is a slight smell but nothing overly plasticy or that you'd notice while wearing. The reason I have only given it 4 lipsticks is because it is fairly expensive for a drug store lipstick (for me atleast) doesnt not last as long as some lipsticks and can be fairly drying at times. Don't let that deter you though because I really am enjoying this product despite those little niggling complaints.

I absolutely ADORE this collection by Revlon. I have them in Icy Nude and Soft Rose. I love Icy Nude when I want to sport a nude lip and Icy Nude is this lovely frosty nude color that doesn't give me this lifeless appearance at all. Despite the shimmer on it, it does not accentuate the lines of my lips unlike most frosty lipsticks. Soft Rose on the other hand is my favorite everyday natural lip color, its this gorgeous cherry color that goes on like a dream. Both have a lovely finish and I would definitely recommend Colorburst lipsticks to anyone. Repurchasing when I run out :)
