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! 😀 Or have you picked out another colour you think is a must try?

But lookin’ good PB!!! ^.^
ParisB says
March 7, 2011 at 1:10 pmYes 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 🙂

March 7, 2011 at 9:43 amReminds me of a lip creme 🙂 The color looks nice on your lips, not as glossy as I would expect!
ParisB says

March 7, 2011 at 11:53 amYou’re right, it’s less shiny than Strawberry, but it’s still gorgeous in it’s own right! It looks lovely on you 🙂
ParisB says

March 8, 2011 at 4:56 pmHi 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
ParisB says
March 9, 2011 at 9:24 amHiya 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 😛 ) Come round more often! 😉

March 9, 2011 at 9:19 pmNice! 🙂 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! 😀 Their SAs don’t bother you even if you take a fair bit of time.

March 9, 2011 at 10:31 pmI 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. 😉

March 10, 2011 at 9:13 amAre you thinking of the extreme shine glosses? You might look forward to a post I have coming up! 😉
