My Experience with Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick – Silver City Pink:

This lipstick belongs to my aunt, who had come visiting us a few months back from the U.S.  She forgot to take this before leaving.  Later on, when I told her about it, she asked me to keep it for myself. I was not exactly happy to do so. The color of the lipstick looked pale to me, with a whole lot of shimmer. I was sure it would not suit me, still, just to check how it looks on me, I applied it on my lips. Oh God! It looked as if I was sick or something. My lips looked washed out and the shimmer, the less said about it the better. It is overpowering and dominates the color, which is anyways very light.

I can’t understand why Revlon had to add so much of shimmer to the color, may be to justify the “pearl” thing or what I don’t know. Had it been a sheer, creamy lipstick, it would have been so much better.

I was badly stuck with the lipstick. Niether could I apply it, nor could I give it to my maid’s daughter.  I could but my mother wouldn’t let me do so, since its an expensive lipstick, neither was she ready to use it. This lipstick was lying useless in my vanity for quite some time.  Then, one day when my friend was raiding my vanity to find a lipstick matching with her dress, she got hold of this. I told her all about it and she gave me an idea. She told me to use this with a light hand on top of matte lipsticks to add some shimmer to them. My mom has a ton of boring lipsticks in boring shades and I thought I could use them, combined with this lipstick. That is how I have been using it, I’ve used it thrice since then.

When applied with a lip brush, the shimmer looks controlled and doesn’t look as bad as it does (on my lips) on its own. The staying power of the combined thing is about 4-5 hours without having anything and 2-3 hours with meals. The lipstick on its own stays for around 3 hours without meals and about an hour or so with the same. The lipstick color fades evenly, but the shimmer remains the same.

Let me sum up the pros and cons of the lipstick for you:

Pros of Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick Silver City Pink:

  • The packaging is sturdy and I like the see-through top of the cap, which makes identifying the lipstick an easy task.
  • The color would suit fair-skinned beauties.
  • The lipstick is not fragrant.
  • Revlon lipsticks are available everywhere.
  • It is not tested on animals.
  • It covers pigmented lips to a good extent.

Cons of Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick Silver City Pink:

  • The lipstick is frosty and full of shimmer.
  • The shimmer dominates the faint color.
  • After the lipstick fades, the shimmer remains on the lips.
  • The staying power could have been better.
  • The price is quite high for 4 gms of the product.
  • The color is not buildable, the shimmer is.

Will I Purchase Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick – Silver City Pink Again?

No, I won’t. The color doesn’t suit me and the shimmer is way too much.

Do I Recommend Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick – Silver City Pink?

Those who like extra shimmery, frosty lipsticks might like this.  For everyone else, I would never recommend this.

2/5.
