Being a huge Revlon fan, I draw no satisfaction of saying that these suck. To be honest, I have read mostly negative reviews about the new ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipstick online but I still wanted to try it and see for myself. Also, I thought, no, more like hoped, that it would be different for me. That while it dries the heck out of most people's lips, it would somehow moisturize mine. Yes, I live in a parallel universe where everything goes my way. So anyway, the Ultimate Suede lipstick line comes in 20 shades - pinks, reds, corals, purples, they all look so pretty I wanted to get them all! But I'm glad I didn't because that's just about the only good thing I could think of to say - gorgeous colors. I exfoliate my lips, apply lip balm under and a lip gloss over it and it still manages to suck all the moisture out. I had to apply lip balm every so often to get through the day. 10 minutes after application and my lips feel tight, 30 minutes and they're chapped. By hour 2, the product settles into lines and accentuates the cracks and oh my gosh if that's not bad enough, it makes my lips flake. I get that as with most long-lasting lipsticks, a little drying comes with the territory. But this one is just painful to wear. Not just because one would tend to peel or pick, sometimes bite off the flakes but one time I swear, I went to the movies wearing this and my lips got stuck together. Prying your lips apart may sound like a line straight out from romance novels but if it's your upper and bottom lip you're talking about, it's just sad, not to mention, excruciating. I'm thankful that though I was super excited when these first came out, I managed to rein my impulsiveness and just bought 2, well 3, but I gave the other 1 away. Flashing Lights I believe it was called, a peach coral shade. So what I'm "stuck" with are Preview and Iconic.

Preview is a muted dusty rose with shimmer, reminiscent of Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie.

Iconic is a peach nude shade with gold flecks. Looks to me like Peach Parfait, again from the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter line.
