Hello
shiny sparkling people,
Hope
you are enjoying the winter sunshine and making the most of it.
Winter
evenings area perfect time to bring out all the darker hues of colors that
don’t get much love during the hot and sweaty summers. The lipstick that I’m
going to review today is one such pretty shade from the Revlon Super Lustrous
range. It is the shade that’s called Berry Express.
I was
looking for some info about the lipstick and this is what I saw on the Revlon website:
Infused
with mega-moisturizers to seal in color and softness. Find your lip color
amongst a dazzling array of 72 fabulous, fashionable shades!
-
Exclusive LiquiSilk™ formula with mega-moisturizers seals in color and softness

Expert Tip:
To create the perfect pout, define lips by
applying your choice of ColorStay® lipliner to the natural line of your lips.
To further increase the wear of your lipstick, fill in lips completely.
Continue by applying your favorite Revlon Super Lustrous™ Lipstick shade over
the lined lips.
My take on the Revlon
Superlustrous Lipstick in Berry Express
To
begin with Berry Express is a deep berry shade
which goes opaque in one coat. On my NC 42 skin, it looks a bit too dark during
the day so I prefer wearing it for formal evenings. It is a frost finish
lipstick which is also mentioned on the case. It is purely a winter or summery
evening shade if worn as a tint.
The packaging is strong a sturdy with a
transparent cap which makes it easy to locate the shade if you have many of
these. It is a regular black casing with a golden band in the middle. Simple
yet nice. Nothing fancy about it!
It is priced at INR 525 for 4.2 g (which is a
lot of product)
The texture and consistency is smooth and
buttery and it just glides on your lips. Also the finish is a glossy , lustrous
one, as the name suggests. It will be a great lipstick for pigmented lips IMO.
To me, it feels a little heavy on the lips after application and I prefer to
blot it afterwards. Also, it is advisable to apply it with a lip liner and using
a lip brush as it tends to feather out. It is really very creamy because of
which it tends to settle in fine lines of lips.. I usually pair it up with Revlon
lip liner pencil in #14- Plum wine. It feels a little drying after a few hours of
wear so I like to use a lip balm underneath.
The staying power is
medium. On me it is around 3 ½ to 4 hrs, without meals. After that true to its
claim, it wears off evenly and leaves a beautiful berry pink tint, which can be
touched up only with a lip balm or gloss and look pretty by itself.
Overall,
it is good value for money, which I believe most Revlon lipsticks are.

Would I buy again: Hell
yea, but in some neutral colors!!
Now
quickly summarizing the thumbs up and thumbs down factors.









And here’s me wearing it:
