Back and beloved and now in a snappy new, white case.
In some frivolous good news, Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine lipstick is back from the dead, after TikTokers tirelessly championed the discontinued lip colour, begging for its return.
A hydrating lip colour that occupies the notional space between lipstick and tinted balm, Revlon Glass Shine ($13.99, drug stores) subtly amplifies lip colour, which is especially good if your lips are pulling that disappearing act that can happen as you age.
When it first launched back in 2020, Glass Shine was a hit. And Glazed Mauve (#007), a ‘your lips but better’ rosy mauve, was the perfect dupe for Chanel’s beloved (then cruelly discontinued) Rouge Coco Shine in the shade ‘Boy.’
Why brands discontinue iconic colours is beyond me. A favourite lip colour is like a security blanket that you carry around in your bag. So welcome back, Revlon Glass Shine in Glazed Mauve. May you live forever and never again be discontinued.
One final thought: because it has a hydrating balm texture, it’s not a bulletproof lip stain that lasts through meals. So reapply often and maybe even buy an extra one, because who knows? Like so many things in life (freedom, happiness, youth) it’s ephemeral.
