Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses

Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the new Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses that released with the Daydreamer Collection. The collection released a lilac polish, a mint polish, a quad and 5 lip glosses. There was a cherry colored one, a peachy nude one, a coral one, a lilac one, and a bright pink one. I have the coral one and the lilac one. The coral one is called Coral Reef and the other one is Lilac Pastelle. Coral Reef is a coral shade with a creme finish with no shimmer. Lilac pastelle is a midtone wearable lilac with darker purple shimmers. I purchased one at Wegmans which is like Stop & Stop but think 5 times bigger and one I purchased at Walgreens. They retail anywhere from $7.99-$8.99. They can be found at most drugstores and supermarkets. Keep reading to see my review on this product!




Pro(s):
-Very creamy and not too sticky or thick or runny.
-Has SPF 15!
-Very glossy and moisturizing.
-Greatly pigmented and wearable colors!



Con(s):
-Doesn’t last that long; about 2 hours at the most.

Overall review: I just love these glosses. A lot of people have been comparing them to MAC Creamsheen Glasses, but since I’ve never tried one I wouldn’t know. I think that it is pretty comparable. They weren’t as sticky as MAC glosses or as runny as other brands’ glosses. I find that these are affordable and simply gorgeous. The lilac doesn’t look to opaque so it’s pretty wearable. This is actually Revlon’s first release with their new designer so I hope to see more MAC comparable products in the future. I hope you all enjoyed my 2 cents on this product!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I love these glosses to death!

Review: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick

Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Revlon Color burst lipstick in Baby Pink. This shade is a frosted baby pink shade. It can be found at any drugstore, at many online e-tailers, as well as places where Revlon is sold. The price actually varies by store ranging anywhere from $7-$9. It had a slanted tip much like a Lancôme or CHANEL lipstick and it has “Revlon” engraved in it like CHANEL lipsticks do. Happy reading!

Pro(s):
-Its formula is very moisturizing and smooth.
-This lipstick doesn’t emphasize the cracks in your lips.
-It is much pigmented and the frostiness of it looks good on everyone.
-A great variety of shades.
-Last for a good 3 hours.



Con(s):
-Probably a bit pricey for a drugstore lipstick so try finding it on BOGO.

Overall review: I really like investing my money in these lipsticks. They are greatly pigmented and are pretty cheap. Some of the shades are cream while others are satin and some are frosts. I personally think that all of them are the same in texture but show up a bit differently on your lips. Overall I would really suggest them to anyone who wants a CHANEL comparable lipstick (because of its engraving), but at a drugstore price. Thanks to Shannon for requesting the review!

Review: Revlon Eyeshadow Quad in Coffee Bean

Hey everyone, today I will be reviewing this eye shadow quad. This was in one of my previous haul post and I’m here to share my thoughts on this product with you. Keep reading to know more.

Pros: This quad helps with an instant neutral eye with directions on the back. Neutral shades are all matte.

Cons: Poorly pigmented, not so vibrant, and hard to make the color come out. Creases fast even with UDPP.

Overall review: I was very excited about this in the beginning when I first bought it but then when I used it a couple of times, the colors didn’t show up that much. The only color that is much pigmented is the darkest color. It is good for creating accents in your crease. That’s the only very useful color. When I use the other colors as the directions describe it, it doesn’t work though. My lids are the darkest part of my face and even with a primer, the colors don’t come out. Overall, I like the quad, but it’s very poorly pigmented.

Review: Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in Skinlights #730

So, I've tried many cream shadows previously and there are many that suit my clients’ eyelid types, but this one is universal. It’s the Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows and they come in palettes of 4 colors and I have the one in Skin lights which are skin colors. They are all shimmery and can be found at all drugstores that sell Revlon products. It ranges anywhere from $5-$7. I just love them so much that there are not really a lot of cons. Keep reading to know why.

Pros: Stays on pretty long, doesn’t crease, fairly pigmented, and very shimmery. Good to add a pop of shimmer and can also be used to highlight your cheek bones. It’s not over priced at all which is good. They also last a while; about 5 months to estimate.

Cons: You don’t get a lot of product in each pan of color. Unsanitary way of usage.

Overall review: these are very shimmery which some people might not like, but they are still nice for everyday. The pans don’t have a little brush or anything so if you dip your finger in it every day, it’s kind of unsanitary. When I use it on other people I always kind of scoop it out because if I keep on dipping the brush in it, it’s very unsanitary.
