Promises vs. Performance: Where’s the hydration?

Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipstick promises high shine, moisture, combining the benefits of a lip balm and the shine of a lip gloss. It promises vibrant color that doesn’t feather or bleed and an easy application thanks to its sleek bullet design. The formula is packed with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, and rose quartz for intense moisture that smooths the appearance of lines for a plump, full lip look.

What can I say good about the Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Lipstick? The shades are pretty and it’s affordable, but everything else about this lipstick is just mediocre. Its description sounds like it’ll have a creamy, balmy texture that will infuse the lips with moisture. But, that’s the opposite of what this lipstick is. Its application is patchy and uneven, and not one you can reapply easily because it starts looking heavy. The formula doesn’t sink into the lips either.

Every single time I wear Revlon’s Glass Shine lipstick, my lips are dry at the end of the day, and I usually reapply at least 3 times throughout the day. I’m left wondering why my lips are not benefiting from the lipstick’s hydrating ingredients. So, from my experience, this version of Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine lipstick simply doesn’t work on me.

How Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipstick Compares: There’s better lipsticks at the drugstore.

Between the application and wear, there’s not much good I can say about the Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Lipstick. It applies patchy and uneven, and doesn’t have the hydrating wear promised. The formula sits on top of the lips and has a heavy look. Honestly, I’m not sure why this formula is so well-loved. It’s not the prettiest formula, nor is it comfortable to wear.

There’s so many other drugstore lipsticks that actually wear well and feel comfortable on the lips. Like, Maybelline Color Sensational and the OG Revlon Super Lustrous. These formulas have great one-swipe color payoff, a non patchy finish, and aren’t drying on the lips.
