What a Cracker! Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Firecracker

August 4, 2010 Paris B 17 Comments

revlon firecracker lipgloss

When Revlon first launched their Super Lustrous lipgloss quite a few years ago, I was raving over them. In the low end of the lipgloss price scale, I still rank Revlon Superlustrous Lipglosses as the best there is for the price you pay.

Overseas, there have been quite a few limited edition or new colours released but locally, we haven’t been so lucky. However, in the newest Daydreamer summer collection for 2010, Revlon has also added 3 new Super Lustrous lipglosses to the permanent range and one of it is Firecracker.

Look at it in the tube. Isn’t is the scariest brightest red you have ever seen? Well, you might be pleased to know that it does not swatch anywhere near that shade at all. Or you might not be so pleased, depending on what you prefer 🙂

Firecracker strangely enough swatches rather orange. I would have called this colour Tomato actually, because the colour reminds me of fresh tomato juice. Its got an orange tint that is rather warm, so that might be why they did not make it too pigmented.

revlon superlustrous lipgloss firecracker review

There, doesn’t the swatch on the back of my hand remind you of a drop of tomato juice? On lips, its the same. A sheer orange based red that might not flatter everyone, especially not those who have very strong yellow skintones. However, if you have a neutral or warm complexion, I think it’ll look lovely!

While trying out this lipgloss, I found that I had to wear blush that was warmer in tone e.g. peach or coral. Cool pinks or plums, while pretty clashed horrendously with the lipgloss. So that will be something to bear in mind.

The texture is like that of other Super Lustrous lipglosses – thick, not too sticky and has a slight plasticky scent. I also get a bit of a tingly feel on my lips when I use this lipgloss. Not quite sure why. Do you get it too?

Pros: Nice colour but might not suit all skin tones

Cons: Color does not apply as it looks in the tube (could be a pro actually), Funny tingly feel on my lips

If you have been wanting to try a red lip, you could ease yourself into it by using a sheer red lipgloss like Firecracker (remember red lips for Fall 2010!). Granted, its more orange than red, but its a lovely bright colour nonetheless. Because its sheer, you can just use a thin layer for a hint of colour. In my picture above, that’s 2 coats.

Interestingly, orange tones aside, this lipgloss featured in all 3 of my looks using the Revlon Summer Suedes eyeshadow palette and it goes well with a warmed over look. So consider this one, when you’re wearing warmer tones on your skin 🙂

How are you for Revlon’s Super Lustrous lipglosses? Have you checked out the new colours? 🙂 My old faves were Cherries and the Glow and Glossy Rose (I think that’s what it was called – its been a while) I’ve been seeing a lot of love for Coral Reef so I’ll have to check that out soon 😀

    You should try the Coral Reef! It’s really beautiful! I normally wear lipgloss on top of a lipstick (hardly wear lipgloss or lipstick alone-normally two must go together) but with Coral Reef, it looks perfect on its own! 😉

    That’s very pretty! I haven’t tried any Revlon glosses before but this looks like something I should check out.

    Guess it has the plumping effect since u find it tingly when wearing? I always get the same feel when using plumping glosses

      That might be true although I don’t get a “plumping” effect per se though.

    I’m honestly a bit disappointed that it looks so orange once applied cos I just can’t pull off orange lips. 🙁 Shame, cos the shade is pretty and it looks beautiful on you.

      Yep! It is so different from what it looks like in the tube. I think it’d have been awesome just as a straight red

    It looks like chili oil to me (sorry!)

    I can’t pull off a LOT of lip colours … the skin near my mouth is somewhat discoloured and not very smooth. 🙁

    I’ve got Coral Reef and the texture is definitely a lot more thicker and pigmented than this. I don’t get the tingling feel though. I’m sure Coral Reef will look good on your lips. There was this sweet candy scent to it but somehow it dissipates quickly.

      August 5, 2010 at 12:38 pm

      Yeah that sweet scent is prevalent in all Super Lustrous glosses. I’ll be sure to take a look at Coral Reef 😀

    Very nice coral colour – looks “straight-up” red in the tube but swatches coral-ly! Looks great on you! 🙂

    I can’t run out and get it though… I spent a bomb at Revlon’s recent warehouse sale, so gotta stop spending for a while (a short while! 😉 Anyway, the Super Lustrous glosses were all sold out on the last day when I went :-[

    Did you go to Revlon’s warehouse sale?

    I tested all the three new shades, and I must say, they are all good! But I decided to go for Coral Reef instead. Coral Reef is so pretty. I think it’s because I find my skin tone more suited for orange based colours to pink and red. hahaha.

    Oh yeah, and I can’t find your post about Chanel Pink Explosion anymore! I remember reading about it, and yes, I love Pink Explosion! It’s seldom that I can actually pull of pinks. If you are still looking for stock of it, I think there is still quite a lot at Parkson’s Subang Parade.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
