Drugstore Stars | Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks

This short post is dedicated to talking about my current favourite drugstore lipstick brand; the Revlon Super Lustrous. These gems are available in 82 gorgeous shades as well as the choice of a peal, matte, crème or shine finish. Once you buy one you won't be able to stop till you own them all!


I want to start by talking about the packaging. These lipsticks feel and look so much more expensive than they are. The sleek black and gold bullet is reminiscent of Channel and the ultimate edition to any makeup collection. It is a truly glamorous and luxurious lipstick and a bargain at only £7.49.

Moving on from the gorgeous packaging; the lipstick itself is of an amazing quality. Each shade is richly pigmented to produce an intense, opaque colour with just one swipe. The formulation is creamy with ingredients such as Vitamin E and Avocado oil that nourish the lips with moisture. This means that they are extremely comfortable to wear and not at all tacky. Even when wearing a darker shade I can easily forget that I am wearing a lipstick at all. Not only do they have an excellent colour pay off, but they are also long-lasting and I find that I rarely have to reapply throughout the day.


In this post I am going to share my three favourite shades. Firstly I adore the shade 440 'Cherries in the Snow'; a gorgeous blue toned red with a crème finish. This looks stunning on the lips and surprisingly sophisticated. Next is the shade 028 'Cherry Blossom'; a slightly orange toned classic red in a pearl finish. Lastly is 460 'Blushing Mauve', I adore mauve toned lipsticks and prefer wearing them over a brown nude. The pearl finish of this one in particular leaves a gorgeous glossy colour that is slightly darker than your natural lip colour.

I think Revlon storms ahead when it comes to drugstore lip products. Whether it be the infamous lip butters or gorgeous balm stains, they are always a winner. Their Super Lustrous lipsticks however are my favourite by far and I definitely feel as though they do not receive the hype they deserve!

I would love to hear what you think about them and the shades that you have tried. Also, tell me what your favourite brand is at the minute as I am always dying to find new amazing lip products.
