Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse Review and Demo

May 3, 2018

Continuing with my brow product review is the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse in Dark Brown. Makeup is all about innovation and Revlon has been putting out some interesting products recently. From pizza cutter wheels for eyeliners to built in sponges for Insta-filter foundations, Revlon has been on the cutting edge. The Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse will also be a new innovation with a wand that more resembles a mascara than an eyeliner.

Basics

Name: Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse
Shade: 404 Dark Brown, 5 shades in total
Price: $11.99
Size: 2.2mL
Available at most drugstores

Packaging

The unique part about the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse is the applicator on the end. It’s full of rubber bristles and looks like a mascara. Then on the other end, it is a twist cap so that you can twist and push out more products. The rubber bristles are pretty dense but do have some flexibility of movement when you brush it through.

When you first twist it up, the product comes out of 4 openings on two sides. As you can see it kind of comes out in these 4 big clumps. For me, it’s the initial brushing on to the brows that give me difficulty as the product is not evenly disbursed on to all the bristles. I found that once you start using it and the product is evenly distributed, it is quite easy to get an even application on the brows. However, every time you twist up, you’ll have an issue with the product coming out of only these 4 openings.

Demo

Here is a reminder of my bare brow looks like. I think it’s relatively full and bushy so I thought it would be a good “candidate” for this brow product. Their claim is that the tinted mousse gives medium to thick brows a clump free natural look that wears for up to 24 hours.

So the first time that I used this, it was disastrous. I got the mousse all over my brow area and it required quite a bit of clean up with the q-tip. However, I had pretty good luck after playing around with it a few more times.

Here is how it looked after I practiced a few more times. As you can see, it definitely added a lot more color to my brows. In person, I can see that it helped this feature stand out a lot more. I was also really impressed by the wear time. I decided to wear it for a full 2 days as I was also testing out the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel at the same time (full review to come). So if you don’t remove this, the mousse will hold on for quite a long time!

It does also work quite well on top pencil/brow powder. If you require a bit of reshaping and defining, the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse will be hard to navigate. However, if you are looking to add a bit of tint, this could be a good option. As I discussed earlier in the packaging section though, I found it messy to use especially when you have to twist up to get additional product.

I actually like the idea of a tinted mousse for those people who already have medium to full brows. This way, you can just deepen up the color to define your brow feature. However, I think the biggest draw back for the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse is that the product doesn’t spread across the bristles evenly. This results in a splotchy application and you will have to brush it up with a spoolie. But, once you do get the application down, it stays on all day (or 2 days)! Stay tuned though for my Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel review as that product claims to stay on for 48 hours!

  • Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines  Day! 🌹

Did you know that Armani makes a perfume and a cologne that's best when worn together?! The perfume is called Because Its You while the cologne pictured here is Stronger With You. 
When we first started dating, we both bought the same pair of sneakers! But we never ended up wearing them at the same time haha! This will be a good way to match without anyone knowing!

Do you have any matching pieces with your significant other? 👫
  • My first texture Tuesday!! From left to right: rose cream cleanser, rose caviar essence, rose balm 🏵🏵 I've been testing out the whole pixi rose skin treats collection and review is coming later this week!
  • The cold weather has me dreaming of tropical vacations! 🌴🌴 I absolutely loved Curacao. Theres amazing beaches, infinite infinity pools, the most colorful buildings. The whole island felt so safe to just wander around too! 
Where are you going on vacation next?
  • I recently tested out 3 shades of the Physician Formula The Healthy Lips! I think liquid lipsticks are just not for me but these are close!! The shades are very wearable (you can see how they look on me on my blog)

The initial application is velvety smooth just like the name suggests. But I still find the product dries and sinks into my lip lines. Maybe I'm just extra crinkly 🤭

Find these at London Drugs!
  • I'll admit I'm a wimpy west coaster! ❄❄ Was walking outside in -1 yesterday and legit felt like my face was gonna fall off 😆😆😆 Looking forward to more sunshine and warm weather!
  • Too pretty to dig in 😍 Charlotte tilbury is an expensive brand but I love how classy and luxurious their products feel. Not to mention fantastic quality.

Do you have any products from them? I'll be sharing a review at the end of the month!
  • Feeling inspired by the opportunities available on this platform!! 😇 I hope to put more effort in growing my account in 2019! 
I'm curious how much time you spend on Instagram each day?? Tell me in the comments!!
  • Which nail is not like the others? 👩‍🎨 #gifted

The Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection now has a matte top coat! Swipe to see the difference it makes. I love that my nail still feels smooth to the touch and not gritty. It turns 1 polish into 2 different looks! You do not need an UV gel lamp and but I found these took a bit longer to dry than normal polish. 
Wearing shade 652 Neblue-la

Thanks for having me in the #sallysquad!
