Does anyone have opinions on Maybelline matte lippie #690 "Siren In Scarlet" and Revlon ColorStay???

I've used revlon colorstay and while it has great coverage and staying power it felt too heavy and thick on me. It also takes some extra work to remove. I would double cleanse with a hot cloth cleanser such as liz earle cleanse and polish or use a cleansing balm such as Clinique take the day off then tone twice to make sure it was removed thoroughly. Overall it is a good foundation but too much work for me.

Revlon is my winter foundation for when I don't want it to budge and I want it to completely cover any acne or imperfections. And in this area, it's perfect. It does oxidize on me some, but not too terribly bad I suppose, just make sure to blend it down your neck. I apply with a Real Techniques Sponge (kind of like a BeautyBlender, but I prefer this, if you haven't heard of it) and it kind of sheers it out just a little, and I like that, it helps with the heaviness, but doesn't compromise the coverage.
As for your lippie, I don't have that shade, but I got the two nudes whose shade names I can't remember at the moment, and they're AMAZING. They're completely matte, but so comfortable on the lips, you can press your lips together and feel the moisture there, without even putting lip balm beneath! I will warn you to exfoliate (I like the elf lip exfoliator) beforehand, because it is matte and still will show those flakes of dead/dry skin, but other than that, fabulous.

I'm a fan of all the Revlon ColorStay foundations as well as the Nearly Naked. Only thing I hate is how the colors differ between the ColorStay normal/dry & combo/oily formulas. The ColorStay whipped foundation is my favorite right now. I use a beauty blender to blend in any of the ColorStay foundations when I wear them. As for Maybelline lippies, I don't like them as a whole. They have some pretty shades but to me they all smell like clay & I find it gross & a total turn off.
