Save and Splurge : Shiny Pigmented Lipglosses

March 14, 2011 Paris B 18 Comments

If you like shiny shimmery but pigmented lipglosses, I have a wonderful find for you! While playing around recently, I realised that we have a save and splurge in two brands of shiny shimmery but pigmented lipglosses! I showed you a save and splurge lipgloss edition before. Here’s another 🙂

Hazard a guess! Go on then!

See if you can guess which are the two lipglosses in the picture above before hopping along to read the rest 🙂 Hint: They both come in long square tubes.

No peeking at the answers!

Have you got your answers ready? Alright then. Hopalong now! 😉

Now, did you guess the ones I was going to show you? 😀

Save: Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss – RM36

Did you guess one of them to the the Revlon ColorBurst lipgloss? You can read my review on Strawberry and Rose Pearl. They are both quite different in texture as you can see from the reviews. But in general you get a lipgloss with good colour, shine and shimmer. The minus point is that the scent can bug you. Pretty much a bargain at RM36 a tube.

Splurge: Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer – RM84

Did you guess the splurge version to be from Chanel? 😀 In fact, while I was using the Revlon one, I could not help thinking it was very familiar. When I dug around in my lip stash, there, staring at me was the Chanel Levres Scintillantes lipgloss in Jupiter, and the pieces of the jigsaw fell into place. Chanel Levres Scintillantes (Extreme Shine) lipglosses too impart high shine and shimmer with good pigment. In fact, the Chanel glossimers are a lot shinier than Revlon’s. The plus side is that there is no scent and you get the thrill of owning something from Chanel 😉 A splurge at RM84 each (or perhaps prices have gone up? I’m not sure)

If all you want is a lipgloss with nice pigment and high shine, start by taking a look at Revlon ColorBurst glosses. See if you can find a colour you like, and if you can handle the scent. If the scent really bugs you, you can opt to go high end with Chanel, which has a much much wider colour selection. But really, on the skin I don’t think you can tell which is which… can you? 🙂

Save and Splurge is where I show you similar items by different brands that I have tried. They may not work quite the same way, but it’ll offer you options for your wallet for a similar effect/product. Do note however, that it is based on products I have tried, so whilst there are many save and splurge options out there, these are my views and choices. You can find more under the category of Challenges.

      You’re welcome 🙂 Its a decent enough dupe although I’d opt for Chanel for lack of scent, more colour choices and prettier shimmer 🙂

    Just wanted to mention that Lavshuca’s Liquid Rouge is really pigmented (shows up better than most Japanese lipsticks on me) – not very glimmery, though.

      Thanks for sharing! I haven’t tried Lavshuca’s lip products actually. I like the sheerness and glossiness of Japanese lipsticks 🙂 They do them so well, and much better than the Western brands!

    I love chanel’s glosses to bits. Jupiter is gorgeous! Something i have similar is MAC’s Lustreglass in Venetian. My current Chanel favourite is nothing as bright but can’t go wrong shade in Aragonite 151.

      Yay for Chanel glosses! 😀 I don’t wear Jupiter enough, because its so bright! I should have picked up a more wearable colour then 😛 The colour you chose sounds to pretty… so Lord of the Rings LOL!

      Japanese drugstore lip products are lovely! I guess I’m a snob for everything – I love my high end lip stuff although I love finding good affordable ones too! 🙂 I have only tried one NARS lipstick – too dry so I gave it away.

    I got the Revlon Colourburst gloss in rose pearl for rm32.40 at Caring. Free satiny pouch while stocks last. Also eyeing rose-gold and definitely Strawberry (great color payoff) 🙂

    Wow! That was crazy how similar they looked! I honestly could not tell which was the more expensive one just by looking at the color! I sat there for 5 minutes thinking ‘aren’t they the same?’ Maybe I’ll try the Chanel one. 🙂 Now I am going to go see if you’ve done Dior mascara reviews… 🙂

It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come.
