Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Pink Velvet

If you check my lipstick stash, the only shades you'll see are red and pink! Here's another lipstick review (just because you can never have too many lippies). This is actually my first ever Revlon product (a gift from a friend).

I like the elegant black and gold packaging; it looks very sleek and professional. The cap is transparent too so you get to have a glimpse of the actual shade you are going to get.

My first impression of this shade was that it might look "old" for me. Swatching it proved otherwise. Velvet pink is a mid-tone pink shade that's very pretty and natural.


What I Love About It:
  • It is sealed upon purchase.
  • It has great pigmentation; just 2 swipes and you're good to go.
  • The creamy texture does not dry out the lips.
  • I love how it feels on my lips; not sticky, not greasy, but just pure velvety texture.
  • I love the semi-matte finish. Because of the texture, the color sticks better to the lips. It did not bleed or feather.
  • Absolutely no chunky glitters or shimmer, thus it makes for a great everyday lipcolor.
  • No weird smell/fragrance.
  • Lasting power is about 3 to 4 hours. It will leave your lips stained with a natural pink tint.

What I Do Not Like About It:
  • The shade is discontinued here.
  • It does not glide on very smoothly when I apply it compared to my other lipsticks.

Would I repurchase? Yes, in other shades since this one is discontinued.
Price: P450.00 (or P475.00, I'm not so sure.)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks are available in Revlon counters nationwide.

For my first Revlon product, I am impressed! I adore the texture and the shade; it gives life to my pale face without looking too made up. This is my new favorite lippie! :)

Love,
Helen
