Anastasia Purple Rain Lipgloss
Anastasia Purple Rain Lipgloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is medium-dark purple with pinky-fuchsia tones and fine, multi-colored shimmer. MAC She-Rebel (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). MAC Till Death Do Us Part (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, cooler (85% similar). Giorgio Armani #604 (P, $29.00) is less shimmery, less pigmented (85% similar). MAC Boys Go Crazy (LE, $20.00) is less pigmented (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
When I bought the Lustrous Lip Gloss Set last month, I couldn’t resist buying this individual gloss as well, because, you know, purple. The formula is supposed to be “ultra-smooth” and “weightless” with the “intensity of a stain” and “the mirror-like shine of a gloss.” Purple Rain is semi-opaque and applies fairly evenly, though a lip liner would likely help this get to the finish line. The texture is mostly non-sticky, with only slight tackiness developing after a couple hours of wear. On me, this shade lasted for four and a half hours and was nicely hydrating while worn.

My favorite color + “nicely hydrating ” = Win Win!
Such a great formula! A real surprise!
I like that but I’m not sure how much use it would see with my current lifestyle!
Maybe layered over a lipstick?
If it wasn’t metallic, I would buy it immediately, because of Prince.
Awww!
OMG, that’s gorgeous! Gotta love the name, too.
Very fitting!
I am going ga-ga for this over here! Because, PURPLE!!! ?????
(Also, it’s prettier than the Vamplify one!)
PURPLE!! Texture is super comfy, too.
Gasp! That’s stunning! I need this!
It’s sooo shimmery!
In my possession already. I happen to be in the mall when I looked at your review. Enough said?. 😀
Love! So glad to see it’s permanent. I shall keep an eye out for when it shows up across the pond here.
It’s gorgeous!
Oh, purple! I like it!
I hope I can find this one, it’s very pretty, I have She-Rebel, and I have some sheer, very sheer purple glosses, but nothing like this.
Fingers crossed!
Surprisingly, I’ve never purchase an Anastasia product. Like you – because purple – LOL…I might just have to pick this one up. (Also, because when I wear it and people ask, I will break into my Prince impression…and that’s worth the price of admission!)
Oh my god, that color! I am in love. I’ve been wanting to try some Anastasia Beverly Hills lip glosses, but I’ve been holding back because I’ve seen some bad reviews (like on the websites you purchase them from). I’m glad that you’ve given them good reviews. I think I’ll give it a try. Anything for the right color!
Thank you for the review, Christine! =)
I actually quite like them… I mean, enough that I bought all the shades I didn’t have when ABH had them for $10 on BF!
That shade is absolutely gorgeous!
Oh it’s stunning! Love purple glosses with shimmer. It looks pinker on your lips, but the swatch reminds me of MUFE Rouge Artist Lipstick #15, which I love despite its perfume.
Love it!! That’s such a cool color.
I wonder if fyrinnae or one of the indie companies makes one like this, does anyone know?
Bold! Good to hear the formula is so good.
I love that you got this because you had to! I love how bold it is, but it’s a bit loud for me. I don’t think I could pull it off, being rather quiet and reserved lol!
Beautiful!!! Love it!
