Revlon Lipsticks - June Haul

Revlon was on sale at Walmart and I was with my mom and aunt that day.  So I had a handful of lipsticks and I was trying to decide which 2 to get cause I was trying to control myself.  Bless my mom and my aunt for understanding how hard it was for me to decide, they bought me everything I had in my hands.  How do I possibly begin to say thank you for something so amazing?!  First up are the Super Lustrous lipsticks.  I got 2 cremes and 1 matte.  Colors are Certainly Red (crème), Primrose (crème) and Really Red (matte).  Ok, I know what you are thinking; why in the hell would I buy 2 reds when I have expressed that I don’t wear red?  I thought the same thing when I picked them up.  I had watched a YouTube video (sorry I can’t remember who it was I watched) that was reviewing these colors and my mind went to the dark place telling me I had to have them.  Nothing more other than to own them and to see them sitting in my lipstick drawer looking pretty.  Sickness…I know.  I like the quality of the cremes and matte lipsticks.  I'm not a fan of the pearl selection so I don't any of those.  I do like the richness of the red, although in the swatches, they look almost identical. I have tried both of these one and worn them out of the house.  I enjoy the attention I get :)  Primrose is a nude-pink color.  It's ideal for everyday wear.  



Next up are 2 glosses: Bellini from the Escapism collection and Shine City (I think this is from their core collection).  It was difficult to capture these two.  Bellini is a soft pastel pink and Shine City is just a high shine gloss.  In the tube you can see shimmers but they don’t show on the lips when on.  I use both of these as top coats over a main color.  


Finally are Lip Butters.  I had done a full review on the shades that I had and I was still interested in other colors.  I now own 13 out of the 20.  3 shades I do not care for at all which I had mentioned 2 in my other post: Peach Parfait, Berry Smoothie and now Sugar Frosting.  These 3 have shimmers in them that I just don’t care for the texture on my lips and I dislike even more the shimmery, unflattering residue it leaves behind when the color is gone.  No likey!  There are 6 that I do like that are new but…damn they look like the same color side by side and in the photos.  Colors are Cupcake, Strawberry Shortcake, Gumdrop, Sweet Tart, Lollipop and Crème Brulee.  Out of these Strawberry Shortcake, Cupcake and Crème Brulee are my favs.  Sweet Tart and Lollipop are very bright pinks but can work with Shine City gloss on top.  I do like Gumdrop and everyone on YouTube was saying how great it was on so I had to get it.  I’m not use to the purple I guess so I can’t say I love it but I don’t hate it.  It’s a shade lighter than Darling from the Kissable Lip Balm stain collection. 




I do love Revlon products in general and their lip products are super nice quality that I have tried.  I've don't normally get disappointed in Revlon lip products (except for those 3 lip butters).  I think I am done with collecting anymore lipsticks from Revlon until something new comes out.
