Strawberry is the second Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss (or first, since the tiny sample pouch was barely enough for my entire lip area)I get to play with.It comes in a long sleek tube that's reminiscent of Chanel Aqualumiere and contains around 5.7grams of products, which is a decent amount for what you pay (6-7dollars).
The Colorburst Gloss features a new type of sponge tip applicator that's shaved off on both side. The slightly resilient tip does a fairly good job picking up the gel-textured gloss.Pigmentation of this particular shade is decent (maybe slightly less so compared to the Super Lustrous) but I always re-dip once or twice just to get my desired coverage.
Digging through my ever-growing lip gloss stash, Revlon Strawberry isn't the glittery raspberry pink I expect it to be (You can't blame me, this kind of color, especially when sheer, usually turns fuchsia on me anyway), it's more like a coral-pink, similar to Maybelline Coral Crush Lipstick. I detect a bit of a faint, weird smell when I open up the tube but the scent is neither over-powering nor does it linger.
Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss in Strawberry on Lips, the glitter doesn't feel gritty on the lips (but I wish it was micro sparkle or simply non-existent), the gloss spreads evenly on the lips and settles into a jelly finish. However, I don't find it as moisturizing, comfortable to wear as those Super Lustrous glosses from the same brand.
Overall: Strawberry is a great shade for summer but I find the combo of glitter + bold color + glossy finish a bit too much for my liking. The truth is that, I would probably like it a lot better if I wasn't hauling lip products like a mad woman for the past month.I don't even feel like counting (more like I am in denial about my stash size), all I know is that I ended up with 9 different lipsticks glosses just from Maybelline alone.
Damn,I need help...
I love this. Definitely going on my list! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good on your lips!! :)
ReplyDeleteWill definitely give it a try before i buy ^^
The shade looks way better on you than on me! :)
ReplyDeleteI have this too, I'd also prefer if there was no glitter at all in the gloss, but I still love the shade and wear it quite often. x

ReplyDeleteYou might like Maybelline CS high shine lipstick in Fruit Punch, the two shades are somewhat similar.
@Nikki
I am sure if you add a few more layers (how I use/use up my lipgloss) the jelly look will be there.
@Rocaille
I think you might like Bobbi Brown Rosy (currently available at ACW although I am not sure if you want to shop there again),it's like a stickier, more gel-like and pigmented of Revlon Strawberry.
@Nic Nic
Revlon is quite a bomb when it comes to lip products.
@Jamilla
It would be even nicer it it smells like strawberry (the current scent is alright for me but many other bloggers complained about it)...
