Revlon Va Va Violet, Love That Red, Wine with Everything (Pearl) Super Lustrous Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Va Va Violet
Revlon Va Va Violet Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep plum with subtle, cool undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium color coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation. The lipstick applied somewhat evenly, but it had a tendency to sink into my lip lines and did not adhere as well to the inner areas of my lips. The consistency was smooth, emollient but not heavy or overly slippery, and comfortable to apply and to wear. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt lightly 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.

Love That Red
Revlon Love That Red Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark red with moderate, cooler undertones and a natural sheen with the faintest pearl throughout (that gave it that subtle sheen). It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging on them. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery, and thin without being clingy. It wore well for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Wine with Everything (Pearl)
Revlon Wine with Everything (Pearl) Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a brighter, medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had buildable pigmentation from medium to mostly opaque, while the texture was lightweight, emollient but not slippery, and easy to work with as it did not drag during application.

Love That Red. 1964, I think. 2007 best red, per Allure, iirc. True red that certainly has withstood the test of time. Still does.
Next spring; Love That Red. Perfect summer red due to it having a true cherry red tone to it. Not orange, but not blue, either.
Wine With Everything is still amazing! We all probably owned this one in the late 80’s or the 90’s. If I didn’t have 3 dupes, I’d get another tube of this after 20 years without it.
Wonderful red’s. Two quality holiday red’s available to grab at the drugstore.
Wine With Everything was the first lipstick I ever bought. I wore it to my Prom 25 years ago! I recently bought it again and love it still (ps. Thanks for the great list of dupes. I missed out on UD Daenerys Targaryen)
Wine With Everything is a gorgeous bright red shade, although I think it would turn pink on me.
Hi, Revlon came out with Love that Red in 1952! My Mother wore Certainly Red everyday, also in the early 50’s. All the women looked glamorous all the time, because they all wore some shade of red. It was a great time. I am in my 70’s, and am still obsessed with Revlon! I have almost every lipstick in super lustrous. It lasts forever, lol. They used to have matching polish to all lipsticks, which I loved! I’m still in the 50’s and 60’s, haha
I have Wine with Everything (Pearl). It’s very versatile and one of my lower-maintenance reds.
