Revlon Plum Baby, Mauvy Night, Spicy Cinnamon Super Lustrous Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Plum Baby
Revlon Plum Baby Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and cooler, ultra-fine pearl that gave it a luminous sheen. It had buildable coverage from medium to semi-opaque in two layers, while the texture was lightweight, emollient and almost balm-like, but thin and not overly slippery, so it didn’t slide around while worn. It lasted well for four hours and was 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.

Mauvy Night
Revlon Mauvy Night Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark mauve with neutral undertones and a natural sheen with very paint pearl. It had buildable coverage from semi-opaque to opaque (two layers) that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. The texture was lightweight, thin without feeling clingy, and sat well on my lips. This shade stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Can I be the first to say that you have beautiful lips, Christine? These lipsticks look so luscious and balmy on you!
I second your comment, Celesta. She has the perfect shape and size to really make the lipstick look good. The other thing is that as long as I have been following the blog, there are precious few lipstick shades that she can’t pull off and mostly those are the foundation lip shades. I am jealous as I have such small lips and since lipstick is my favorite makeup product, I am always lamenting my lip size and shape. Now that i am older and have more lip lines both in and above my lips, so many lipsticks just don’t work.
I also have rather small lips, Deborah; I feel your pain there!
It’s a trifecta of perfect shades! These are truly stunning. My 2 faves are Spicy Cinnamon and Plum Baby. Revlon may just make its way back into my stash.
I love all three of these shades and they all are squarely in my wheelhouse for preferred shades. That is probably why I have dupes! I haven’t purchased a Revlon product in so many years that I can’t remember when and what I purchased last from the brand. Oh, wait a second, I have the makeup primer because Taylor loves it for blurring pores but I don’t find it that amazing so I am using it up and won’t repurchase.
It was with interest that I looked at the Spicy Cinnamon shade – as those two words spike my interest. It is my very favourite shade of lipstick. But this shade is far to pinky/red to be Spicy Cinnamon. It needs a lot more brown in it. A tad disappointing.
Revlon Mauvy Night, is gorgeous on you! Something in your undertones and the color of this lipstick, is perfect!
