Revlon’s new Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipstick in Glazed Mauve, #007, is the perfect ‘your lips but better’ shade that subtly amplifies lip colour, like someone fiddled with your own personal contrast button. It brings your whole face into focus and makes you look more ‘there’. This is especially good if your lips are doing that discouraging fading thing that they do as you get older. And did I mention it’s only $13.50?
That’s an insanely good price for a virtual doppelgänger of Chanel’s beloved yet sadly discontinued Rouge Coco Shine in the shade ‘Boy.’ Why brands discontinue iconic colours is beyond me. Sure, Chanel launched Rouge Coco Flash ‘Boy’ in its stead, but it’s not the same colour. Having the right ‘your lips but better’ lipstick is a little bit of security that you can carry around with you. So hooray, Revlon Glass Shine in Glazed Mauve. May you live forever and never ever get discontinued.
Because Glass Shine is a hybrid balm/gloss, it has a wonderfully hydrating balm texture. The only downside is that it tends to disappear when you eat or drink anything. It is not a bulletproof lip stain, after all. But who cares? Just reapply often and then go buy another so you have one on deck for later.
