REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK


I honestly don't think I will ever have enough red/orange/plum lipsticks in my collection. I was swatching a couple in Boots recently and I knew as soon as I saw this colour, I had to have it. It is from the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick collection in the shade "Cinammon Bronze".

It has a pearl finish, but it's not overly shimmery and doesn't look glittery once it is applied to the lips - there's nothing worse! Personally, I have always preferred a matte lip so this isn't a product I would usually go for. However, this is a lovely, wearable colour for during the day and I would describe it as a sheer, orange-red that it is very buildable. It feels moisturising on the lips and doesn't cling to any dry, chapped areas which can be an issue when wearing matte lipsticks. I have also noticed that I don't have to re-apply the product all day long - which I love, it's very long-lasting.

Being very pale, I like a pop of colour when applying my makeup otherwise I can look a little washed out. Sometimes that pop will be a dramatic eye look but most of the time i'll go for a red/orange lip as it's much quicker when i'm rushing out the door in the morning.

This lipstick is £7.49 from Boots and there are countless shades in this range to choose from, you're spoilt for choice! There's something to suit everyone. I never thought that the pearl finish would be something I would like, but I love it and will definitely be back at Revlon on my next visit to Boots!

Good job, Revlon!

Here's a swatch of Cinammon Bronze (this was 3 swipes):
