Revlon Brazilian Tan, Pink Cognito, Love is On Super Lustrous Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Brazilian Tan
Revlon Brazilian Tan Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium brown with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which made it more pigmented than described, but could be an upside for those who prefer fuller coverage lipstick. The texture felt lightweight, emollient without being slippery, and thin but not clingy. It stayed on nicely for three and a half hours and felt somewhat moisturizing while worn.

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.

Pink Cognito
Revlon Pink Cognito Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and fine, pink pearl throughout that gave it a luminous sheen. It had medium coverage, which was as described, but it didn’t apply as evenly as it should have.
The product had a tendency to sink into lip lines and looked slightly streaky along the edges, and every time I pressed my lips together, I could see where they separated. The consistency was smooth, almost balm-like but firmer in the tube (so not so balm-like that it was melting). It lasted for two hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Love is On
Revlon Love is On Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is an intense, medium-dark red with strong, cool blue undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single stroke–it was more pigmented than marketed, which may or may not be a deal-breaker–that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging.
The texture was lightly creamy, slightly denser and less emollient compared to most of the Super Lustrous range, but it was comfortable to apply and didn’t emphasize my lip texture or lip lines. It wore well for six hours, left a stain behind, and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Brazilian Tan looks perfect for my skin tone, will be picking it up at a store. My kind of warm nude.
I’m still drawn to Brazilian Tan for a great summer nude shade! It may not have the highest grade, but it does look very good, though.
Love Is On looks so striking! Now that’s a red! (Like I need another red, right?)
Love is On is a vibrant red/pink shade. Good for summer.
Pink cognito looks so pretty in the tube, like a my lips but better shade but that actual swatch shows it’s transparent!
I have Love is On in the gloss version and love it but the lipstick looks a bit too full on for me.
I love Love is On, and when checking if I have dupes it turns out I have 7, seven! I’m obviously really into that type of red 😀
I would love to hear your dupes, especially if any of them are drugstore options, as well! I absolutely love Love is On, too! ??
It has a lot of dupes, if you check view all dupes.
My dupes are mostly high(er) end, but a very good dupe that I love, it’s comfortable, well pigmented lasts, even on my lips, Maybelline Ruby For Me. Maybelline have a little edition of For Me lipsticks that are supposed to suit everyone, I have three of them and they are all very good and not expensive. I forgot to check if Revlon is even less expensive.
The other dupes I have are, just if you are curious, and I admit, I have a lipstick problem 🙂
