Sephora Collection Rouge Shine 21 A-Lister Shimmer Lipstick Review

Hello Friends,

Hope all of you are doing fine! I can’t believe second month of the New Year is already here. Time is flying with jet speed… fiu! Anyway, I am here to share another shimmery lip product from Sephora which is getting my love these days. But, honestly I first bought it to gift someone last year last year just because it was on sale for 5 bucks 😛

But, soon I found out that I need this in my life and since then I changed my mind and kept it for myself. Lol. Let me confess, I feel so greedy every time I shop for gifts and always end up keeping everything in my vanity, even though, I have a good collection. I need censor for my eyes now:P

My Experience with Sephora Collection Rouge Shine 21 A-Lister Shimmer Lipstick:

Sephora describes this A-Lister shimmer number 21 as a carnation pink shade with iridescent shimmers and it is true to its claim. Like any other Sephora collection lipstick, this also comes in signature black bullet with faint smell and tons of shimmers. Over all, it seems quite user friendly & travel friendly packaging wise.

Coming back to this gorgeous carnation pink shade, it is oh-so-lovely bright carnation pink glossy lipstick with tons of shimmers, but I still find them pretty wearable on my pale skin with no frosty/icy effect at all. This is probably the first pink shimmery shade which is so perfect on my pale skin. It might come out frosty under a lens, but in person it looks way glossy to my eyes.

The texture is, again, perfect. It is glossy and creamy in texture even with those tons of shimmers which easily forgive my dry normal lips. But, still, it is always good to exfoliate and moisturize our lips beforehand for a better finish.

I have used few Sephora lipsticks before and comparing it to my previous collection, I see that this particular A-Lister is way glossy and melts on my skin unlike other Sephora lipsticks. It gives almost 60-70% pigmentation with 2-3 swipes that too without any cakey finish and/or bleeding on my lips. However, I don’t think it would give complete coverage because of its sheer and glossy texture.

It is certainly good for lightly pigmented lips but, not for dark patchy pigmented lips. I need two gentle swipes for sheer carnation glossy color pay off topped with silver sparkles that simply look great and not frosty to my eyes.

I never wear lip balm with this lipstick and as long as it stays on my lips, I feel well hydrated and soft lips with no irritation or dryness at all. It manages to stay for decent 5-7 hours on my lips with slight issue of transferring with every tea/coffee break. Apart from that, it fades evenly after lunch/dinner. However, I am quite impressed to see that my face does not shine like a disco ball even after it fades away and the remnants of lipstick are easily removable.

Over all, it came out as a pleasant surprise to me for the price I had paid. I would highly recommend this shade to every girl; it is way glossy and must have for party nights and even if you are not a shimmer fan, you need to get it to reveal the beauty of wearing shimmers, believe me! I already bought it in bulk for my family apart from getting another piece for myself again.
