Orange or Tangerine lips are in this year. At least that’s what I’m led to believe. Trends aside, orange lips are always an interesting departure from the norm.
I wasn’t expecting the Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Peach to turn out orange, but it did.
Not in an unpleasant manner though 🙂
Here’s the swatch on the back of my hand.
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach swatch
Like all the Revlon Colorburst lipsticks, it swatches pretty much true to colour in the tube. In fact, this one swatches a little more sheer compared to the stronger pigment found in say, True Red. On lips too, it is a little sheerer than I expected. But I was alright with that, because I wasn’t too sure about the colour.
Also featuring Lancome Maqui Miracle Blanc and Nars Orgasm blush
Peach is quite a warm shade, but one that I think will be lovely in the warm Summer months. What am I saying. Its always Summer here so break it out at any time! 😀 (Aside: Lancome Maqui Miracle blanc liquid foundation is one of 2 foundations I’m really liking. It makes my skin look amazing! /end Aside 😛 )
Pros: Light texture, No Scent, Affordable
Cons: Applies a little sheerer than other colours, Can be a bit patchy over lipbalm
If you are looking to get into the orange lip trend or just want to try a new shade, take a look at this one. At least its quite inexpensive when it goes on sale, and its got decent texture.
Orange lips anyone? 😉

It’s really pretty!! ^.^ But I have enough lipsticks already… *tries to stave off lemmings*
ParisB says
Haha never enough lipsticks! Especially if they are all different colours
Abby85 says
this is one of my favourite lippies! ^^ it brightens up the face in an instant.
ParisB says
Yay! You are right. It does make the warm tones of my skin stand out a little more than usual, but its not a bad thing 🙂
juan says
i love peachy tone lippies because it cheers up one’s look. makes you look fresh too 🙂
ParisB says
Peachy toned lips are quite new to me… now I want more! Woohoo!
Lisa says
i’m all for peachy lips. Peach seems to be more wearable than say…coral? And as much as i want to try coral, don’t think i can pull it off well. Any corals to recommend?
ParisB says
hmm… I’m not quite one for coral lips (but I dig coral blush 😉 ) Try Dior Addict Tango – my latest Coral discovery. Or Dior Serum de Rouge does one, as well as the Dior Rouge depending on the texture you like. Erm… lots of Dior recs there huh? 😛
gio says
That’s a gorgeous shade, so fresh and wearable!
ParisB says
I think this one is right up your alley! 😉
Shay says
I have this, but I can’t carry it off. Its too scary screaming on my lips.
ParisB says
Aww have you tried a pink or red gloss over it? It might make the colour more wearable. I was expecting something less orange to be honest
Shay says
I can’t even put any gloss. The lipstick is too pigmented and too opaque. I prefer sheer ones.
ParisB says
Aww 🙁 The only other thing I can think of is to melt it down and mix it with another lip colour? But that’s a right hassle 😛
pinkcloud says
This looks great on you! The best orange or tangerine shade I had seen so far! I wonder does it makes the teeth looks yellow like other orange lipstick does? I have a pretty yellow teeth to start with 🙁
ParisB says
I have yellow teeth too but this doesn’t make my teeth look more yellow than normal. Fuchsia does but not this 🙂
lina says
yeah..that’s my concern too..i have coral and tried orange lipstick at the dior counter which i love and looks quite good on me (at least me think hehe) but it does makes my teeth looks more yellow..
and i noticed recently someone also using same username as mine.. maybe i should change mine ek..
ParisB says
I haven’t really noticed this one making me teeth look more yellow than normal… Or maybe I haven’t been paying much attention lol!
Monstro says
That is realllllllyyyy pretttyy! I don’t think I have a orangey tangerine lippie–haha, time to get one!
ParisB says
Wait for a sale!! 😉
lavender says
This is definitely a lovely peachy color. Goes well with u. You are a lucky girl, can use almost any color at all.
ParisB says
Thanks Lavender and it’s just guts and finding your right shade. Most of us can wear different shades o lipstick but we might not all wear the same shade 🙂
Jan S says
Ahhh, I love this one, I’m a big fan of peach lipsticks too. The color is perfect…but alas it’s a bit on the dry side :/
SH says
U look very nice with this color…So fresh! So tempted to go get one myself. 😀
ParisB says
Thank you SH 🙂 If anything, its an affordable splurge 😉
