Beauty Product Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

It isn’t easy finding a good lipstick.

First you have to decide what brand you want to concentrate on – would you save and get a drugstore brand or splurge on a higher end brand from a department store?  Then you have to test all of those shades against your skin.  It can definitely lead to many a day  furiously drawing thin lines of lipstick on your hand or trying to scrape a clean portion of lipstick from the side of the tube to try on your mouth (guilty of the latter because my face and hands aren’t the same shade).

In the meantime, it is useful to build an inventory of staple products.  I bought Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick mostly on a whim and a good discount.  I was pleasantly surprised by the color payoff and medium length staying power of this established drugstore brand (it did rub off when I drank water and ate food).  I tried “Certainly Red” and love the vibrant color and re-applied once after snacking outside on a warm and balmy night (everything pretty much melted at that point).

So if you can pay any price for lipstick, why not pay a lower price?
