Buy and Blog: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks

Hello, my Pretties!

Last month I posted part one of this haul post which you can see HERE.  The last post showcased four NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamels and this post will focus on the other beauties I bought that same day...four Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks!

I have not used Revlon lipsticks since junior high.  My sister had given me my very first Revlon lipstick and while I can't remember the name of it, I can remember the smell!  I hated it!  It was so strong and perfumey.  Haha.  It tasted exactly like it smelled.  I did not appreciate that at all.

So since then, I never EVER used Revlon lipsticks again.

I believe I made that comment on Twitter one day and one of my Tweeties told me that the formula had changed and they didn't smell/taste bad at all anymore.  Well, now, I'm intrigued.

It just so happened that the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks were on sale at my H-E-B grocery store and I picked up a handful.

According to my receipt, these lipsticks are regularly priced at $4.97 and the coupon was for $2.50 off.  Awesome!  I paid $2.47 each!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick
510 Berry Rich (Crème)

This color is pretty!  It is not such a "berry" shade for me but I do like it a lot.  It appears more of a mauve shade to me on the lips and looks redder in the tube.  This is an A!

305 Highbeam Tan (Pearl)

First off, I shouldn't have picked this one up.  I didn't notice it was a Pearl finish.  I don't really like Pearl finishes.  They are too "frosty" and remind me of the 1980s.  Haha.  I wanted a neutral hue and I guess this one is except for the finish.  It should have been a crème.  Just because I don't like the finish, I'll give this one a B.

630 Raisin Rage (Crème)

I tried to get a little bit of everything.  I got some pinks, neutrals and deep shades to try them all out since it was my first time using Revlon lipsticks in over 15 years.

This one is so dark in the tube.  It swatches deeply too so I applied it with a light hand and I loved it.  At full strength it might have been too dark for my taste but slightly applied it is wonderful.  I give this a B.

130 Rose Velvet (Crème)

And I just had to save the best for last.  I am obsessed with this color.  I use it daily.  It's perfect for me!  It's a wonderful everyday shade.  Period.  And in case you need a grade, it's an A!

So, am I a new Revlon recruit?  Yes, I think I am!

The lipsticks, all of them, are wonderfully creamy and smooth and apply effortlessly.  There is no tugging or pulling on the lips.  No smell.  No taste.  I'm so happy!
