So I've been dying to find the new Spring 2014 Limited Edition Maybelline Color Tattoos and for that reason I've been stalking Walgreens periodically but with no luck. Meanwhile, while I was browsing through the store, I did spot the Vintage Super Lustrous Collection. I decided to pick just two of them. They were also on BOGO at the time.
Revlon decided to bring back 5 discontinued iconic shades but only for a limited time and perhaps quantity as well. I only saw 2 lipsticks per shade on the display so if you are interested in any of them, get them before they're gone. On the flip side, they are probably not the most unique lip colors out there so even if you can't find them, don't be sad I'm sure there are dupes for them.
Packaging
- Considering that they are limited edition, it would have been cooler if they came in a limited edition packaging but nope, they look no different than any other Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks.
- .15 oz or 4.2 g
Product
- Snow Peach, originally launched in 1956, check out the video below. How ironic that the commercial is in black an white for such a bright and colorful shade. I think it would have been cool if they also re-released the same packaging too, which to me looks like a million bucks on the video.
- It's a bright peachy pink with a cream finish. It doesn't look that bright on the picture but when I saw it on myself in natural daylight, it certainly was. The color payoff was good but I noticed that the formula tends to cling and highlight dry areas. It feels creamy and is a bit hydrating but it doesn't look as smooth on the lips if your lips are dry and flaky. I get and average of about 4 hours of wear.
- Icy Violet, released in 1946, is a mauvy purple-ish brown with a frosty finish. In spite of the frostiness of this lipstick I find this color quite pretty and wearable as well. It has a fairly good color pay off but you'd have to layer it a couple times in order to intensify the color. The formula feels creamy, buttery, and slightly moisturizing. The color last about 4 hours on me.
Final Thought
The Super Lustrous line is one of my favorite drugstore lipsticks and although the formula slightly varies from one color to another I found these two creamy and buttery in texture. They also wear comfortably and feel somewhat hydrating for for up to 4 hours. I also love the fact that these lipsticks are unscented.

Love snow peach, they look great on you! I want to try the 5th ave red!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think snow peach will probably suit light skin tone more. I hope you find the shade you're looking for. I decided to pass since I don't wear red much.
DeleteMy Walgreens so is behind. I can't wait to get a couple of these. I've recently discovered how nice the Revlon lipsticks are.
ReplyDeleteI feel like mine local Walgreens is often behind too. I'm glad you're enjoying revlon lipsticks. They do make nice lip products.
DeleteSnow peach is sooo flattering and I could see it working with all sorts of looks, Icy violet is actually something I'd love to have if it were a bit less frosty, I wasn't expecting the shade to be so berry like, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIcy Violet doesn't look so frosty if you apply less. I agree though I would have liked it better if it was less frosty.
DeleteI'm on the hunt for Snow Peach!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find it :)
Deletethey're sheer! =)
ReplyDeleteSnow peach is full coverage but icy violet is semi-sheer yet can be build up to medium coverage.
DeleteThey look great on you! Very nice! Thanks for sharing ^^

Thank you :)
DeleteLove icy violet. you are amazingly beautiful! Hope you don't mind me asking what your nationality is I'm hoping we are the same, then that means this color will look good on me too ;)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you. I am Hmong :)
DeleteThanks. 2nd question. Where did u get this? I have searched every store, pharmacy, anything with a make up aisle and nothing. Can't even find it on revlons website.
DeleteI found these at Walgreens. Perhaps they just haven't made it to your area yet. Hopefully you'll find them soon. Good luck!
DeleteOh my gosh, I remember my mom having some of those lipstick refills. I didn't know what they went into until now. Thank you for bringing back a good memory!
ReplyDeleteaww that's pretty cool! The original packaging looks so pretty.
