These are the best lipsticks in the history of ever, and they are discontinued. Amazing formula, great packaging, lasting power, pigmentation. I have so many HG's from this line--eg Crimson (best vamPiric red), Buff (best teracotta nude), etc. You can only get this on aeroplanes and airport duty-free, I believe.

My HG from age 14-18. However, I only wore crimson.All the other colours looked awful on me.
Pros:
It does STAY for ages.
Easy application, overall no complaints about the lipstick itself.
Unique shades and colours.


Cons:
Extremely hard to find. I always had to buy it in the series package, and I had to ask my friends to buy it from airplanes and airports.
Looked great, didn't feel great. Not a great texture.
Pricy.
Scented.

This was by far the best lipstick I've ever used. I occasionally try new ones here and there, but nothing has lived up to the quality of this product. It was creamy, went on smooth, had decent lasting power, and had a pleasant little tingle that gave my lips a bit of a boost. I only got to try Crimson, but the color was excellent and I received multiple compliments from complete strangers.

I would love it if Revlon would bring this lipstick back!

I purchased this lipstick in India and was fairly happy with it. It does feel rich and creamy on the lips, shades are true and the finish is a nice smooth cream. It's not much different, though, than any other moisturizing lipstick. It feels exactly the same as Revlon Super Lustrous or any other cream lipstick. So unless you like a particular shade there's no reason to specifically buy this lipstick over any others. It's a good lipstick but nothing extraordinary about it.

These lipsticks are still available in my country, and I bought a pack of four...they're perfection. Shame on Revlon if they truly discontinued em, I mean, the best of the best lipsticks, that make your lips feel so good...suddenly vanishing from stores everywhere? I think that's mildly evil.
.
I like the shape of the lipsticks, perfect for virtually perfect application, gets into all the curves with exactness. It's small, not too small, but just enough that you can manouvre it around lips. They go on so well, no lipbrush needed, probably the easiest to use lipsticks ever. Texture is smooth, bit creamy, does NOT feel thick or gloppy at all, leaves your lips feeling tingly/minty like you've just been smooched by someone with exceptionally good breath. Last for ages, don't dry out your lips either--that's a rare combination.
.
Crimson is a stunning darkish red vampy shade. If you're fair, it's made for you, that contrast of deadly dark lips and pale skin, but even if you're not, it'll suit you. It's my favourite, makes me feel like a movie star.
.
Dusk is perfection on anyone. It'd particularly suit African/black skintones, a glimmery sheer brick rose.
.
Violet looks particularly lovely on me...the purple isn't too strong, but it's just enough to enhance a tan or olive skintone. Violet on the lips coupled with a gold glimmery shadow on your eyes=unbeatable combo.

Buff is orangey-brown, not dark though. A nude that's not quite nude.
.
They all look like *perfection*. You can layer them on, build up & strengthen the colour, although one sheer application looks best on me. Well-pigmented, and they all have a slight glimmer to them, I noticed, a subtle finely-milled shimmer, so it doesn't sit flat on your lips, it plays with the light a bit.
.
If you have relatives living in the Middle East, and you really wanna try this, it's available here. Also, some airlines still offer it on their in-flight dutyfree sales thingy. ALSO, I saw this at the duty-free department stores at a couple of airports (I travel a lot), so if you see it, grab it.
.
I've been using these like mad since I got 'em, now that I know they're in short stock, I'm gonna be more miserly...

In Australia these are still available in a very limited colour palette. Unfortunately they discontinued the three colours I really loved best but I was able to stock up on Ebay, plus get some in a swap.

Very moisturising and I personally am hooked on the cool mint tingle. Wearability is similar to other lipsticks, but the moisturising properties last long after the colour has worn off. I think it is a pity that these are now available in so few colours, and am suprised that Revlon never thought to bring this out as a colourless lipbalm. I for one would buy this to wear under other lippies.

What is it with companies discontinuing fantastic products? Don't they know that women have more than one lipstick, so it takes us some time until we repurchase? I'm so miffed now. I used up a tube of this in Flesh #03, and when I went to get it again, I could only find #15 Mica, a glimmery medium beige; #21 Pink, a medium blue-based pink, #29 Crimson, a brown-based red; and #36 Cinnamon, a reddish brown. The staying power is like any other lipstick, maybe a bit better even -- but the best thing about MoistureStay is, well, that the *moisture stays*! In a tingly, minty way. It's an instant chapped-lips fixer, really. It's SO much better than their Super Lustrous AND ColorStay put together. I hope they reintroduce it. Soon.

Well, they don't sell these anymore in my country. But I remember them. My mother bought a very bright red called "Poppy". I sometimes used it, although my mother wouldn't let me because it was such a bright red (I was 15 back then). But I have always loved vivid intense colors. This was very vivid, it was creamier than the Colorstay one and the color lasted just about the same. The packaging was also better, at least it seemed so for a 15 year old. The tube was long, gold and shinny ,it looked really posh to me back then. I would purchase this lipstick if I somehow ran into it.

was surprised how well this lip stick wore - in terms of wear time and how comfortable it was. cooling sensation when applied and lasts for hours and hours. when it does wear off, it wears off reasonably evenly. even the colour was quite flatterin - a pleasant surprise considering that my DAD bought it for me! a great lippie. not as moistrisiing as most cream and sheer lipsticks that i prefer (i prefer lip stick with a lip balm consistency) but good coverage and lastability

I found this lipstick in my mom's old makeup box, and it looks so awesome. The shade was current, which is a cool red. When applied, there is this cool effect, like brushing mint-flavored gum across your lips. It doesn't burn, though. The color is smooth and doesn't dry up your lips.

I bought this in a drug store for 1 euro. My friend (with lower make-up standards than me) was looking for cheap make-up and found this lippie, but in a vibrant pink. I saw more lying around (some used, some heavily used, some not), and found this one. I have it in 10 Sheer Honey and it was un-used! For ONE Euro, this was just a steal. I don't know any shops in my area selling this lippie, that's why I am careful with it. It has a sort of minty flavour when you put it on, and you get this cool sensation on your lips. I love the natural look this gives (especially mixed with transparent gloss). Would definately buy again if I found it somewhere.

This carries sentimental value to me, since this lipstick was what I used during my prom. After using up a whole tube of Fawn, I knew I should be getting a new one soon. Unfortunately, the counters ran out of this fab color. Time passed and my lipstick lemming still hasn't been killed. When I tried checking out Revlon again after around ten years, I didn't think they would have this formulation again. Lo and behold, I saw the Moisturestay lipsticks still on display! And Fawn was one of them! I got one tube on sale and relived my prom night. The lipstick itself is creamy and not as matte-dry as the old lipstick formulas I was familiar with. I didn't like the tube, though - too tricky to use, unlike the shorter bullet-shaped tubes of MAC. Nonetheless, Fawn is still and will always be my MLBB shade. A plus with the Moisturestay formula is that it gives a cooling feel to your lips. Oooh. I will never let go of this lipstick anymore!

I just bought "Twig" from Zen, a dept store in World Trade Center in Bangkok! Although i have tons of lippies, I just had to buy it because of the great reviews here! Twig is almost like your lip colour, with a slight brown mauvey tone. The tingling minty feeling wears off quickly so it won't irritate. Price is affordable - 429 Baht usually but i got it at a promo price of 369 Baht! I am pleased with this and will repurchase if i revisit Bangkok.

I love finding a gem among my older makeup, and these MoistureStay lip colors are one of those. Although the ColorStay line is still around, MoistureStay is not. Too bad. I have two of these that look great, and apply just as good. I don't even mind the menthol (an ingredient that's supposed to be drying, but it's not on these lipsticks). The two colors I have are Violet and Dusk. They last pretty much all day. Packaging is a gold-colored, long, slim tube that looks sophisticated.

The Revlon MoistureStay Lip Colors are brilliant and easily surpass their former ColorStay type. I have about half a dozen in my collection. These lipsticks last on my lips for hours, and even when they wear off, my lips stay hydrated. I haven't ever tried another lipstick that can do the same! My favourite shades to use on my NC20 skintone are Violet, Mica and Girlie.

I am surprised that in Indonesia, they still produce this. In Indonesia, they don't omport Revlon, but there's a company that has the lisence to produce this lipstick so I guess it's a favorite in Indonesia that it's still produced and sold here. My holy grail lupstick. So, if you guys wanna order.......

This is, by far, my favorite lipstick. Doesn't dry, tingles and doesn't have the funny lipstick smell or taste that turns me off of most lipsticks. Of course, now they no longer make it, but luckily I have a couple of more. I wish Revlon hadn't stopped making such a great product!

Edit: I found it listed at BuyMeBeauty.com! I'm going to have to check out my inventory to see how much I have left and stock up now!

I just found a tube of this in my old makeup case & put some on to see why I never used it before. I was surprised at how nice it was! The shade was 'Raisin' which is, for me, the perfect burgundy that I've been looking for forever! Why I tossed this aside before, I'll never know. It's creamy, opaque, and moisturizing. I have chronic dry lips & this didn't dry them out at all. Doesn't bleed either. This is going in my purse now.
