Revlon Spring 2010 Collection: Coral Reef Super Lustrous Lipgloss, perfect for my coral kick!

Wow, love this! Coral Reef is super creamy, pigmented, non-sticky, and would look excellent with a tan. I'm currently an NC35 and will be using this on my pigmented lips and on top of MAC Vegas Volt l/s during the summer months when I get a little more color. On my pigmented lips, this looks just like the model's lips on the MAC To The Beach promo ad, a bright coral-peach and just a touch of orange without being garish.

The second picture is pretty accurate color-wise.
The first picture is on my bare, slightly rosy and pigmented lips. It's a *tad* brighter and corally-orange in real life.



I love corals like these because they really bring a glow and brightness to the rest of my face. For now, layering this on top of a nude lipstick base brings out the peachier side of this coral, reminding me of MAC Shy Girl. Since I'm a little I've been on a huge coral kick lately, so I knew I had to get this. I found it at Target, but there was no separate display for the collection like I had seen in Ulta. It was placed next to the rest of the Super Lustrous lipglosses and I managed to get the last one. Love the sleek packaging and doe-foot applicator. Plus, no funky smell or taste!



I want everything from this collection, the shades are all gorgeous pastels. I think I read somewhere (maybe Allure) that Gucci Westman helped create the shades in this line. Really looking forward to trying the nail polishes as well as the SL lipglosses in Lilac Pastelle and Pink Pop. Coral Reef is a beautiful pop of color, perfect for the warmer weather. Get it before it's gone, from the stores I've been to, I've been noticing that a lot of the shades have been selling out quick.

I also picked up Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude. I like it, it's very creamy, but it's a bit more glossy than I'm used to. The packaging and imprint reminds me of a cheap version of Chanel, lol. Here it is to the left swatched next to Smooth Nude from the Colorstay collection and Nude Attitude from the Matte collection. It's a bit more pinky-beige toned than the other two.



Sorry the swatches are a little difficult to see. You can click to enlarge if you want. Have a great week :)

  4. Ooo I like that Coral! I've always been told that orangy tones look good against asian skin, but haven't tried it. I like that it's affordable too - my local CVS always has buy 1 get 1 on Revlon.

  7. Becky- Oh you should, coral would look amazing on you IMO.

    Petite Asian Girl- Try it! It's true lol

    Jo- Yep! Actually, that's the one I was reviewing. I got the names mixed up! And I love Smooth Nude also. It's probably my favorite out of the bunch and I love that I can use it by itself because I can't do that with most nudes like Nude Attitude

    Ashleigh- I plan on wearing it over Vegas Volt l/s during the summer. I tried it out today and it's freakin bright! lol
