(From left to right: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglossesin Lilac Pastelle, Pink Pop, and Coral Reef)
For Spring/Summer 2010, Revlon has released its first color makeup collection with Gucci Westman, the brand’s global artistic director. Today I am featuring three of the five new shades of Super Lustrous Lipgloss.
All these three shades are bright and well-pigmented, and they don’t contain any shimmer. They have a glossy vinyl finish that lasts well. A thin layer is enough to give the lips a gentle pop of color, and a second layer adds a considerable amount of shine and color and creates a liquid-lipstick look.
Coral Reef (right in photo), when applied light-handedly, is a relatively natural shade for my medium-to-warm complexion. But I personally slightly prefer Pink Pop (middle), which is quite versatile. One thin layer of it gives the lips an elegant rosy-pink look. With more layers, the color turns more vibrant and closer to a hot pink.
I thought I would like Lilac Pastelle (left) at least as much as I would like the other two, but it turns out to be a little too pale for my light-to-medium skin tone. (I might like it more if it were a lot sheerer.) I think it should suit those with a fair skin tone a lot better. It might also work for you if you like a relatively nude look for the lips.
The rest of the collection includes two other shades of Super Lustrous Lipgloss (in Peach Petal and Fire Cracker), two Nail Colours (in Minted and Lilac Pastelle), and one (limited-edition) ColorStay Eyeshadow Quad in Summer Suedes.

The colors look great!
I found the formula a bit too sticky for my taste, although it looks great. How would you characterized the stickiness level?
I love those colors too, could you do a simple swatch on your lip or back of your hand? some lip gloss look just different from the tube when you actually use it. Thanks!
Hi Kuri,
I would say the texture is indeed on the syrupy side. I find that many of the lip glosses that have a very glossy finish tend to be more sticky, but I personally don't mind the stickiness.
Thank you for stopping by again! :)
Hi BeautyOnTheWay,
Thank you for reading this post.
I am afraid that I don't normally do swatches. With these three shades (which are all quite pigmented), two layers of them will more or less give the lips the colors you see in the tubes.
Thank you for your question! :)
