After mentioning my favorite lipstick formulas in another post, I thought it would be nice to swatch any formulas or colors that I haven’t shared in the past. Up first, the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks. I have shown swatches of both Raisin Rage and Rum Raisin previously, but I decided to go ahead and include them next to a newer to me shade (desert escape).
As I’ve mentioned, I really think this line from Revlon is still one of the best on the market if you like a traditional cream bullet lipstick. They are comfortable and provide good pigmentation. If you like an opaque coverage, these might be a miss for you, but I wouldn’t describe them as sheer. This formula does have a lanolin ingredient (C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters), so keep that in mind if you are allergic to lanolin.

This line features some shades with a pearl finish, perfect for those who prefer a hint of shimmer in their lipstick. The finish is written on the bottom with the shade name, making it easy to identify the finish you are purchasing. They also have a separate matte line that I’ve heard good things about, but I’ve never tried it for myself. The formula also contains no added scent or fragrance for those who prefer unscented lip products. If you are interested in this lipstick, do yourself a favor and get it from Walmart ($6.87) or Target ($6.89). Ulta always charges more for drugstore makeup than Target and Walmart. These are no exception; **Ulta is charging $10.99 for them.
If you are interested in my other favorite formulas, I’ve also shared swatches of the Estee Lauder Pure Color Creme Lipsticks, the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks, the Huda Beauty Cream Lipsticks, and the Bobbi Brown Luxe Lipsticks (discontinued formula). I have already posted a swatch of the Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel in Brun Naturel (discontinued formula).
Update May 19, 2025: I posted a review and swatches of the newly reformulated Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balms in the shades Honey Shine, Nude Illuminator, and Spiced Wine. You can see that by clicking here.
