Revlon super lustrious lipstick

Revlon Super Lustrious Lipstick in Carnival Spirit £7.49 available online here

I'm a sucker for bright bold lip colours! So when I had a voucher for £2 off any Revlon product I went straight for their new 'Rio Rush Collection' in particular the bright coral/red super lustrious lipstick in Carnival Spirit.

First Impressions:

I hadn't swatched this in the shop and I kind of wish I had, this is not true to it bright coral colour it is very sheer! I had expected this bright pigmented pop of colour but I came out more like a balm. I have never had one of Revlons Super Lustrious lipsticks before so I just guessed they were all like this formula. Don't get me wrong I love the colour and the formula is lovely it just wasn't what I expected. So after getting over the initial 'shock' I applied this onto my lips for work and thought nothing more about it but I seemed to get a few compliments on my lip colour so I guess I had made a good choice!! Although sheer, the coral still shows and it is lovely and feel very comfortable and almost moisturising on the lips. The texture is like a balm and appearance is also like the Lip Butters.

Pros and Cons:

Don't expect a pigmented pop of colour lipstick! Its a beautiful balmy lipstick and a lovely sheer coral colour. Bargain as I had got £2 off so it was £5.49 altogether, pretty decent for a Revlon lipstick. Definitely a nice surprise being a lovely wearable balm-like lipstick rather than one to use for nights out.

Overall:

I guess the moral is swatch, swatch, swatch!! Although it was a pleasant surprise in the end; just not what I originally expected! Glad I picked it up though and I would definitely pick up another Super Lustrious Lipstick as they feel lovely on the lips.
