Product Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

You can find more product information about the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses here.  

The Pink Afterglow lipgloss is amazing.  I have not owned many different lipglosses in my lifetime, but of the ones I have owned, this is perfect for moisturizing and keeping my lips soft.  It is very glossy, and it has a very sheer application.  It is not very pigmented.  I'm not sure what gurus mean when they say lip-glosses feel sticky or not, so I won't comment on this.  As far as the staying power goes, this has amazing staying power on my lips.  It can definitely last me from 7am through lunch.  Reapplication at lunch is purely optional, but at around 2pm reapplication is needed.

Oh, one note about moisturization, I use lip glosses as moisturization because I am allergic to lip balm.  I was apprehensive about lipstick at first, but apparently they are okay for me to use.

One of the things I like and don't like about this product is the glitter.  I don't think this is shimmer, we're talking about, it is full on glitter.  I like the glitter in certain situations, when I'm visiting customers and when I first see Mr. P.  I don't like the glitter when the gloss gets eaten away or is drying out on my lips, and I definitely don't like the glitter when I kiss Mr. P and his lips end up looking glittery as well.  

Lipstick goes on well under or over this gloss.  I'm on my second tube of Pink Afterglow and I would love to try more from this line.  I like it so much that I'm not really in a rush or feel the need to try others.  This does it for me - it has everything I need for moisturizer, conditioner, and pigmentation.  :-P

Product Review: Revlon Eyelash Curler

July 23, 2007

The biggest waste of $4.00 ever!  

Okay, I'm pretty sure this eyelash curler isn't so bad... IF it fits your eye.  It doesn't fit my eye, so I can't even tell if it curls nicely.  

Does this qualify as a product review?  Maybe not, but for me...  this is my review of this product.  :'(

UPDATE: August 1, 2010

It has been several days now and I have been trying to make this eyelash curler work for me.  I must say that my initial review of this eyelash curler's awfulness can be tweaked to not-so-terrible.

Essentially, this eyelash curler does do a very good job of curling my eyelashes.  The only way to make it work is by jamming the curler into my eye socket area so that the curviest part does catch my lashes.  It is a little bit painful and it leaves indentations in my skin on the inner corner and outer corners of my eyes.  But it's nothing that a minute or two won't fix.

I've also tried to use the lash curler backwards so that the convex part of the curve is against my eyelids.  It curls well like this, but I won't lie, it is difficult on my fingers this way and I have to be extremely careful with how close to the root of the lashes that I have to be.

When I heat the eyelash curler with a blow drier, it really really curls well and my lashes do retain that curl for hours.

VERDICT:  I would not buy this particular eyelash curler again because the curvature does not fit my eye.  But if Revlon came out with a slightly flatter curve, I would buy this again because it's not so expensive (compared to Shu Uemura and Shiseido),  and it curls the lashes very well.
