Review, Swatch - Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss

This is an edited post.
I posted this a while ago but I just noticed the lip swatch pics are quite terrible.
Now it has been almost a year since I started this blog and I have gotten a little better at taking swatch pictures and capturing colors. so I thought I would do editing on some older posts.

Not everything edited would appear as new posts, but I wanted to feature this again since I find the texture and the color payoffs of this lipgloss line is quite perfect for the New York autumn. :)



Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in
Rosegold, Crystal Lilac, Peony  (clockwise)




*Revlon says
Lips that shine with killer color. This weightless gloss makes lips pop with 5X more shine than patent leather
(from Revlon website)

*My thoughts
I really enjoy these lipglosses.
However, would I buy more of these and get obsessed like I previously did with Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses? Probably not.
They come in unique wearable colors and I love how they feel so comfortable on my lips where Super Lustrous ones peel sometimes.
Other than that, I still prefer Super Lustrous in every aspect - the shorter tube, the shape of applicator, the variety of colors, the finish, etc
Although they are great quality lipgloss range for the price, they are not killer colors  nor shine they 5X more than patent leather.  (I think I am allergic to any exaggerated number claim...-.-;;)
I think Revlon should have marketed these as moisturizing lip creme since they go on smoothly and the colors seem to be pigmented in general.


*Swatches






Crystal Lilac
Pale baby pink with violet shimmer
It works great with super smoked eyes.


Peony
Peachy pink with gold glitters
On me, the pink color comes out more which makes it more wearable for me.
This color looks very nice paired with golden pink blushes like Nars Orgasm and her dupes.


Rosegold 
Pigmented gold beige packed with shimmer
It is a very versatile and office-appropriate color that would work for any skin tone.


Have you tried this range?
What is your favorite color? :)



Thanks for reading!

  4. Peony is such a beautiful colour. It reminds me of NARS Orgasm on your lips a little!

  5. I love the super lustrous ones too, but they make my lips peel too =( Maybe i'll give these a try since you said these don't make your lips peel too much! Thanks for the review!

  7. you are right on! people say peony is very comparable to orgasm and even better since it is not as frosty. it looks great peachy pink blushes. :)

  11. i like the peony color the most but when swatched, the rosegold and crystal lilac looked better on you ^^

    ReplyDelete
  12. i would agree with you.
    i was surprised to see rosegold works for me though because warmer lip colors tend to look weired on me. ^-^

  13. strange! I went to local Rite Aid to get them and the only color available was fire and papaya. I got them both for BOGO sale and I really like the colors except the plastic taste :X!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. ah now you mention it, there is a slightly plastic-y taste to them. ;p
    papaya is a gorgeous shade!
    they clear out pretty fast whenever they are on sale although nowadays the main star of the line is their lip butter. ;)

  15. The peony is a beautiful shade, it's good to hear your thoughts on these, but Revlon still do some great lipglosses as you mentioned.

    Hope you're having a great weekend.

  19. i agree with you. revlon still is my favorite lippie brand!
    i like peony a lot. such a pretty peachy pink shade. i think it's prettier than NARS orgasm lipgloss. ;)

  20. I'll need to try the superlustrous ones! I'm just now getting into lip gloss. They never packed a punch with me. I'm already a bland color, so i always needed a little punch.

  21. some of the super lustrous lipglosses are very pigmented but in general, colorburst is more pigmented and it goes like lip cream.
    if you like a little punch, try the brighter color in the colorburst range! :)

    peony is my favorite as well. ;)
