I had used Revlon ColourStay Lipstick-Shade- Capucinno for a year almost Daily.2006-2007.used bout 2-3 tubes.
I Always Check the expiry Date of the Lipstick before purchase and throw it away in 3-4 months if unused.
Bought a new tube of the same Lipstick from Pulse/Aundh /Pune in 2007 Nov. After two days of use-my Lips suddenly felt as if they have dried and cracked vigorously overnite. I stopped using the lipstick and used a genourous amount of Lipbalm for a week.
The Dryness Vanished.
Started using a Lipstick again--again the same dryness.
Threw away the Lipstick. This year Friends gifted a makeup kit. It had a revlon Lipliner. Used it-again same dryness for a week.
Last week bought a yummy looking Lipgloss from Streetwear. Used it once-second Day-same rashes. Found out that Streetwear and Revlon are under the same manufacturing head.
So please Beware and always try a patch test.
Are these multinationals trying to Dump inferior products In India?
