Collective Swatch - Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks

One of the great beauty blogging joys would be looking at other bloggers swatches and possibly contemplating on another haul.
(Oh, please tell me I am not the only one.)
I have great respect for the bloggers who provide accurate swatches taken under different lighting since this takes much more time and effort.
I myself have not gotten there yet, not to mention that I am still trying to draw straight lines on my arms. 
(They always come out crooked no matter! Is everybody using a ruler but me?)

Anyhoo, I am hoping to get better at swatching soon & presenting this collective swatch of my Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks to you. :)


The group shot



Creme lipstics


These all have creme finish.
(Temptress(680) is definitely a shimmery lipstick but labeled creme for some reason.)


I did not resize this picture.
I also marked the names on top for your convenience.
Click for larger picture if you like. ;)



Matte Lipsticks

While being fun, this also serves other purpose reminding myself once again that I have too many lipsticks and I hardly wear them.
(Look at the bullets. You know what I mean.)
On a different note, I find swatching could be very staining and irritating for my poor arm.
I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't armed with baby wipes and cleansing oil. :o


Hope you have enjoyed this swatch post.
Do you have any swatching tips?
Feel free to share with me. :)

  7. thanks Janet!
    i still prefer straight line swatches but i might have to try the dots or hearts. lolz :)

  8. It's impossible to choose! they all look stunning! I know what you mean, whenever I do blush or lipstick swatches, my arms turn into a red & swollen mess lol that's the price to pay when you're a beauty blogger I guess ;) xxx

    ReplyDelete
  9. you, too??! especially the reds and purples are so staining! sometimes i think we shouldn't wear them as often..
    revlon has great lippies for the price. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love Revlon lipsticks! I have a tonne of them as well :p These swatches look really well done, I have a good number of the ones you've swatched so I know they're colour accurate. But swatching accurately can be hard because of how different colours can look depending on the lighting. I don't really have any tips, I use foaming makeup remover from Dove to get it all off my arm after, it works a treat ;)

    ReplyDelete
  11. ah thanks! it is comforting, actually!
    my laptop shows any color washed out too much so i have to think about that when i edit my pictures.
    i just use my soft box lighting for my swatch pics as well which seems to create neutral lighting. :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ohh those are all pretty swatches and colors!

    Awww I know what you mean about swatches staining your arm/hand.. that happened when I tried to do swatches on the Maybelline 24hr eyeshadows.. stuck on like no other! -_-

  13. thank you, Sheila! :)
    usually baby wipes do a great job removing, but some long lasting ones are tough! i need clenasing oil or cream to remove them completely. lol

    thanks for visiting! :D

  14. love these swatches Lena!! and the colors are all so beautiful...i think i might be getting more of these creme lipsticks because i looked at my collection and ill i had were the light pinks and nudes...i had a year (2010) when thats all i wore lol

    ReplyDelete
  15. thanks!
    i like revlon lippies and maybe i don't need to say this again. lolz
    actually a couple of them are the new ones i replaced since the old one started smelling a little funky. ;)

  17. that's just super lustrous lipsticks..i have more lippies from revlon.
    following you, btw! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I kind of find the Super Lustrous lipsticks heavy and hard to wear, which is a shame, because they make really beautiful shades!

    ReplyDelete
  19. ah that's too bad. i do agree with you, though. some colors go on thicker than others and way too pigmented for me to wear everyday.
    i thought colorburst lipsticks were better in that sense, but they have limited colors and they are being discontinued...;-/

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanks for sharing, the Super Lustrous lipsticks are one of my favorites because of the variety and the creme finish is great all-around. I have to agree--I like looking at swatches/hauls too. I think because you get a sense of the person's interests/tastes :)

  21. hi Monica! thanks for adding me to your list! :D
    i didn't realize i like cream finish from the revlon SL range, but turns out i do! they are really great for the price. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh my god. Black Cherry and Raspberry Bite. I want! Is this the inspiration for trying out more vampy lippies?? How many do you have total? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  23. hehe :) they are both gorgeous. i like raspberry bite a little more.
    this is all if you're asking about "super lustrous lipsticks", but i have colorburst range and other brand as well..too many...

    ReplyDelete
  24. There isn't one colour there that I don't like! Temptress is very pretty though, I may have to get one for myself!

    ReplyDelete
  25. lolz :)
    Temptress has a little bit of sheen and appears that way on lips. i also have the matching nail polish. they are very feminine!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Omg i love these! I have a few of the creme ones and one matte and they are so good! I love the way creme finish looks on my lips!

    ReplyDelete
  27. i agree.
    i really think it is comparable to MAC lipsticks. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  28. you really know how to make lipstick look good! i feel like i need some nude and red right about now

  32. 440 is such a gorgeous colour! It looks so creamy as well - perfect for my dry lips!

    ReplyDelete
  33. it is such a saturated red. very retro and works great as a stain, too! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Beautiful colours! Looking at all the lipsticks together makes me drool haha :P Pink in the afternoon and In the red catch my attention! I always have trouble with swatches too which is why I haven't posted any yet! Thanks for sharing :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. lol. they are like candies for us girls, right? ;)
    Pink In the Afternoon is a beautiful warm pink that flatters many skin tone. i really enjoy it.
    and of course, revlon has a great line up for red lippies! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love Revlon, I don't have a lot of Revlon's lipsticks but I love them a lot. Thank you for this blog post!!

    Xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  37. my pleasures, moeri!
    i think revlon has great lippie lines for sure! :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh wow, that's an impressive collection! I wish Revlon were more easily available here. People seem to really like their lipsticks!

    I use Bioderma Sensibio (or any micellar cleanser) to remove swatches from my arm. I like the fact that it's really simple, and it doesn't leave a greasy residue so I can move on to the next batch if necessary :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. lolz. maybe i feel the same way about bioderma cleansing water as you do revlon.
    i've tried it once and i loved it so much, but i couldn't justify paying for that high shipping for it again. ;-/

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love revlon lipsticks! Great post!

  42. This couldn't come at a more perfect time. I've been looking to pick up Black Cherry and Cherries in the Snow! I love seeing swatches as that helps me determine lipstick purchases (I hate swatching the display lipsticks in stores...so grody).

    ReplyDelete
  43. i am glad you find this helpful! :)
    they both are beautiful must haves!
    i agree with you. i don't swatch drugstore products. it seems wrong.
    i get a lot of help from fellow bloggers' swatch posts instead. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  44. My favorite of the lipsticks shimmering is the 415, and in the matte "Pink About it". Thanks for this review....

  50. Ummm, Lena! I am so envious of your Revlon lipstick collection. What a beautiful array of colors girl! You do a fabulous job at taking pics and swatching. What are you talking about! HAHAHAHA I need to get back on the ball with my beauty posts. I've gotten totally sidetracked with FOOD! hahaha

  51. aww thanks, Kim :)
    i really like revlon lippies a lot, but i must say i don't really sue much of any lippie in general. i rarely do touch-up.
    i need to to a lipstick series or something so i wear them more often. ;o

    ReplyDelete
  52. I also love it so much when bloggers do arm swatch of lipsticks or eye shadows or blushes..I dont know why I am just happy looking at it.. and it helps a lot especially when we want to buy something online..
    Revlon lipsticks always catch my attention. I used to wear them a lot when I was in indonesia, since revlon is available there.,

    ReplyDelete
  53. hehe glad i am not the only one. ;p
    i think i've bought revlon lippies as others do MAC. lol
    i just realized 80% my lippies are from Revlon. crazzaay
