When I first saw the new Revlon ColorBurst lipglosses, I picked one up in Rose Pearl. I was in a bit of a hurry, and usually anything with the name “Rose” suits me fine. Happily, this did!
I have a more comprehensive review on the Revlon ColourBurst lipgloss line in my previous review on Strawberry, so I’d suggest you check that out. This is strictly a colour post :)
Rose Pearl is a shimmery rose coloured gloss that applies quite pigmented. I usually use this on its own for lip colour and it fares well. I also find it a little less shiny than Strawberry, so I don’t get so much of that bling! factor. Just nice colour and shine.
A reader makeup.addict in her comment on the Revlon Strawberry lipgloss noted that Rose Pearl is a dupe for MAC Plushglass in Big Baby, except that the Revlon one is more pigmented. Not owning the MAC version, I can’t compare, but I will take her word for it :)
Here is a swatch of how it looks on my lips.
Compared to Strawberry, this is certainly less shiny, but not less pretty. I like them both, to create different looks, and I’ve been wearing these nearly everyday too! Usually as a top up after lunch :)
I’m still thinking over getting Peony, which I read is a dupe for the NARS Orgasm lipgloss – its a peach-coral shot through with gold and its extremely popular. I’m just afraid it might make me look washed out. Still, if I give it a go, or if you have, please share your thoughts! :D Or have you picked out another colour you think is a must try?

Revlon Colourburst Lipglosses retail at RM36 each at all Revlon counters. Pick it up during a sale! There are 8 shades available – Strawberry, Peony, Sunset Beach, Buff, Rose Pearl, Hot Pink, Rose Gold, Iced Coffee. My full review (with swatches) on Revlon ColorBurst lipglosses can be found here.
Actually, it looks more solid than Strawberry does to me… Strange. ^.^
But lookin’ good PB!!! ^.^
Yes its more pigmented than Strawberry. Its almost like a liquid lipstick which is really nice and not very strange at all :) All the colours have slightly different textures. The lighter shades are less pigmented and more like gloss. The brighter/darker shades are more like liquid lipstick :)
Is this PB speak to GO GET THE DARKER SHADES ASAP???
^.^ Thanks for the info btw!!
Not really. Its PB speak for GO TRY SOMETHING NEW! ;) I try to not let anything go to waste unless it really really fails.
Reminds me of a lip creme :) The color looks nice on your lips, not as glossy as I would expect!
Yep not super shiny so its great for work! :D
You’re right, it’s less shiny than Strawberry, but it’s still gorgeous in it’s own right! It looks lovely on you :)
Thank you Denise. It is a very pretty gloss :D
That’s really pretty! You look so fresh in it :-)
Thank you! :D
Saw the range of lipgloss with Bea when I was in M’sia, but only ended up buying the lipsticks. *FACEPALM*
Oops! You have a mule going over soon so time to place orders!
Hi Paris..silent reader here..until now (that is..lol). I bought the Strawberry after reading some rave reviews online. I love the colour payoff but I have a gripe with it…it tends to stain my teeth!!! Gah…It would slick on well and then..next thing I know, i would see a reddish stain on my teeth. Do you face the similar problem? If yes, how do you prevent it?..help! =D
Hiya Lynda! I don’t have a problem with the gloss getting on my teeth to be honest. I rarely do with any lipstick/gloss. What you can try, as a makeup artist advised, is to not apply the gloss/lipstick too “deep” on the lip, but just on the exposed bits and that way, it doesn’t come into contact with your teeth. I would tell you about the finger trick (apply lipstick, stick finger between lips, make the shape of an O with your lips and pull out the finger) but it doesn’t work with lipgloss (and I don’t do that either because it gets my fingers icky :P ) Come round more often! ;)
Nice! :-) I think Revlon’s lip colour products, whether it’s lipstick or gloss, are the best of their product range.
I must go to a Caring pharmacy soon, stand there and swatch the ColourBurst glosses! :-D Their SAs don’t bother you even if you take a fair bit of time.
I am so glad I read this because I was actually thinking of getting a Chanel lip gloss tester online. I will try this range out first. ;-)
Are you thinking of the extreme shine glosses? You might look forward to a post I have coming up! ;)
