My Experience:
Makeup Revolution lipsticks come in a plain black packaging that neither screams expensive nor cheap. The packaging is not sturdy and the cap does not lock in place firmly. It has Makeup Revolution printed on it in gold and just like MUA packaging the cap is topped off with a transparent plastic pot containing, what appears to be a minute amount of the respective lipstick.Though unlike Makeup Academy, that pot can't be removed (In case you are interested in using the extra lipstick, break it off at your own risk).
The lipstick glides effortlessly on my lips. In fact the texture is so soft and buttery that it combined with the hot weather caused one of my lipsticks to break from the base the first time I applied it. Keeping it in the fridge didn't help either and the other one also broke after a few uses. So I would suggest to use it with a brush. As for the scent, it is a faint vanilla which is not detectable after application.
The colors I got from Makeup Revolution Amazing Lipstick's vast range of 30 and growing are Treat and Mystify. Treat is a nude with a hint of pink. Its a perfect go to color for daily wear and is one of my most favourites these days. Mystify is a pink with silver shimmery particles. Both colors have a creamy and shiny coverage. The lasting power of both lipsticks is merely 2-3 hours and reduces further if you take a meal. They don't settle into fine lines or dry out my lips. I really like both colors and have tried my best to love the lipsticks but it just isn't happening. When it comes to makeup, I am a lipstick person and it really annoys me to have to reapply mine every hour or so.
Given the price tag I shouldn't be complaining but since I love wearing these colors every other day I would really like Makeup Revolution to work on the staying power. Other than that, the formulation of the lipsticks is very good.

Pros:

• Packaging is aesthetically appealing.
• Appealing scent.
• Soft and buttery texture.
• Wide range of colors.
• Inexpensive.

Cons:

• Poor lasting power.
• Packaging is not sturdy.
• The lipsticks are so soft they break easily.
