New Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick & Gloss Review

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cognito (TOP), Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural (Bottom Left), and Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet (Bottom Right)

I was a bit sad to find out that the shades are not a dupe but are very similar in texture, glossiness, and in the same color family. Revlon's Pink Cognito is just a shade lighter but has the same luxurious quality that Estee Lauders' Crystal Baby. I hope to one day find an exact dupe since the price points of both of these products are in two different price spectrums for me. Revlon's lipstick is a mere $8.49 and on sale while Estee Lauders lipstick is $25.00. I would say that on my lips both are undetectably the same shade; however, swatted on my hand the Revlon is clearly a bit lighter while Crystal Baby is a bit deeper. If your on a budget, the Revlon lipstick would be the closest I've seen to a possible dupe to Estee Lauders' beautiful Crystal Baby lipstick. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet was what I thought a perfect match (in the tube) for MAC's gloss in Funtabulous, I was so wrong! On the tube it looks beautiful and appears to be a perfect match but when swatched you almost feel like it's a magic trick and someone has given you a different gloss wand. There is hardly any pigmentation and barely any of the fine glitter. Compared to MAC's incredibly pigmented the Revlon lipgloss doesn't live up to the beautifulness that appears on the tube. Unlike the other Revlon lip gloss, this one is a bit stickier and applies unevenly. Unless your applying this to a vibrant lipstick to give it a bit more gloss, I would pass on this shade and get  Wet N' Wild clear gloss and save your money. 

I truly love Revlon's products specially their lip products, unfortunately I was a bit dissatisfied with Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet. The display had a wide range of glosses both glittery and creamsheene glass finishes, I am leaning more towards the creamsheene glass finishes as they are better pigmented and feel less sticky on the lips. 

The last couple of months, I have been on the hunt for the four NEW shades of the Revlon LipButters. I read you could find them at Target, then Ulta, then CVS, then Wallgreens. Even though I live in Miami, I've looked from Key West, Florida to Just North of Titusville, Florida.

I couldn't find them! I stalked the stores like no ones business and even had my hubby looking for me. Try getting your husband or boyfriend walk in and ask "Do you have the new Revlon LipButter in Juicy Papaya and Pink Lemonade?" The stares he got was outrageous but he was a great sport and even was proactive enough to go on his own looking for the display. So, now that you have a bit of a background on how hard these NEW four shades have been to find... when I found them, you know I had to buy all four not just for me but an extra four for one lucky person out there. More on the giveaway at the end of this review. 

 REVLON Pacific Coast by Gucci Westman Spring of 2013 collection includes: 

I personally picked up the LipButters and the Baby Sticks. I opted out of the shadows, nail polishes, and the gel eyeliner because I have so many similar colors in my collection. 

The Packaging for the new Revlon Lip Butters are the same as the old packaging which I like because they will go seamlessly with the rest of my collection and I still love the clear tops so that you can see the lipstick thru the cap. The formulation is the same, highly pigmented for their shade, smooth and moisturizing on my lips. 

As you can see these LipButters have a high shine to them and are very pigmented for a non-lipstick. Originally I was only going to buy Juicy Papaya and Pink Lemonade but once I saw these shades in person, I knew all four had to be included in my collection. Wild Watermelon is a beautiful orangey red. Sorbet is a vibrant fuchsia pink with blue undertones. Juicy Papaya is in my opinion the most beautiful color of the four, it's a peach color that its so universal I can imagine wearing this for work or at night with a smokey eye, the options are endless with this shade. While Pink Lemonade may look like it doesn't have pigmentation, it surely does... It's just very close to my skin tone. It's about the closest neutral that I have found for myself. I love how light it is, yet with a dark smokey eye or a very natural looking day this is also a great color. I really love the feel of these in my lips, they don't crease and get into fine lines, they just stay and make the lips feel hydrated while also giving you a pretty pop of color. 

In conclusion, I'm loving these New shades in the LipButter line and I think you will too.
