REVIEW! | Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss #044 Sunbaked


When a 90's craving hits and I want nothing more than to spritz on some Tommy Girl and watch Amanda Woodward rule D&D Advertising (and steal Billy away from Allison - not cool...), this lipgloss helps me achieve my 90's zen moment.  Like listening to Cathy Dennis, it brings back those fond memories of a time when everyone was sporting earthy colors like russet blush and pinky brown lips, throwing caution (and warm/cool skin tone guides) to the wind.  Who cares if I was too cool-toned for copper lips?  I bought that Revlon Coffee Bean lipstick and wore it proud while jammin' to Gin Blossoms, Erasure, and Queen Latifa ("U.N.I.T.Yyyyyy!") in my sky blue '89 Camry.  Brandy just wanted to be down, and I just wanted to rock brown lips.  It was a good time.


Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in Sunbaked is a muted brown with rosy undertones.  For me, it's a My Lips But Better shade because my lips are pretty pigmented.  Wearing Sunbaked is like wearing a lip foundation, of sorts - it evens out the tone and adds a nice polished shine.

It's 100% non-sticky, which I am a big fan of.  It adds a lot of weightless glossiness to your lips and, depending on how pigmented your natural lip color is, medium color opacity.  On me, it typically wears for about 2.5 hours before I'm ready for a touch-up.  Even when it wears off, it does so evenly so you don't end up with the dreaded circle of color on the outer reaches of your smile AKA "Mr. Bill lips", as they were known in my house growing up.  Because this is more of a gel gloss without shimmer, it's very comfortable to wear (no gritty texture due to microsparkle).  My lips still feel hydrated after wearing this gloss for hours.

Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss comes in 15 colorful shades.  At their swell price point, you could buy your 2 favorite shades and that Billboard Greatest Hits of 1994 CD you're always eyeing at the checkout for the same cost as 1 MAC Cremesheen Glass.  Revlon continues to flourish under the guidance of Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman.  I'm always excited to see what they come up with next.
