Revlon Black Cherry & Violet Frenzy Super Lustrous Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Black Cherry

Revlon Black Cherry Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a subtle, pearly sheen. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation, which was as expected. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and creamy with moderate slip–more slip than a lot of the shades in the range, though. There were areas of slight patchiness, where color clumped together, and a bit of product that sat in my deeper lip lines. It wore well for five hours and left a very faint stain behind but settled further into my lip lines, while the formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$8.49/0.15 oz. - $56.60 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "lightweight color and moisturizing shine" with "buildable color payoff" and a "gliding, smooth application." It's a good formula for those who like medium, buildable coverage with a smooth, balmy consistency that glides across lips easily but doesn't feel too slippery while worn. They're comfortable to wear with light hydration but tend to wear a shorter length of time--anywhere from two to four hours with a couple of shades reaching a little beyond four hours. What I like most about the formula is the finish: it's luminous and more smoothing, so it's kinder to lips with imperfection or prone to dryness/flaking. The formula has slip but doesn't have any heaviness or slickness that makes it prone to getting into lip lines.

Violet Frenzy

Revlon Violet Frenzy Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with warm, pink undertones and fine lavender and pink micro-shimmer. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation if preferred. The texture felt smooth and balm-like, which helped the lipstick glide easily over my lips without dragging. The color went on fairly evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It felt lightly hydrating over the four hours it lasted for on me.
