REVLON PhotoReady Instant Plump Serum Plumping Gloss Hydrating Non-Sticky High Shine Finish 001 Needleless To Say 0 25

This lip gloss is excellent, not too glossy or sticky, and having the perfect lip plumping effect. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely, yes. I love mine and wear it daily. It's a more neutral or nude color, so I can easily get away with using it daily. Read more

I am not really a fan of plumping glosses. I just don't think the payoff is worth the burn. That said, the tingle on this is pretty mild at least if you apply it thinly. Spice shade: This is the classic 90s rosy brown lipcolor. It's classic because I am pretty sure Revlon invented it. One of the original Colorstay lipsticks released in 1995 was called Spice. If you want this color in a non-plumping formula try the regular Super Lustrous gloss in Lean In. This Spice shade is a midtone and cool-toned rosy brown. It is brown but it has mauve or plum undertones. It is really flattering. It is too dark to apply without a mirror but it applies neatly if I use a thin layer and lipliner. It would be a good choice for women of color or just anyone who wants to try a 90s brown lipcolor. Formula: The tingle is referred to as icy hot so I think that means it has both mint (ice) and pepper (hot). It is a pretty mild tingle if you apply a thin layer over a balm. There is an 18 month shelf life after opening (see pic). Revlon never hopped on the clean beauty train and they still use preservatives. Serum not gloss: The ultra shiny pictures make this look like a lipgloss but it is called a serum. It is more of a serum than a gloss. The moisturizing properties are pretty nice. It starts out glossy but dries down to a satiny balm. Tube: I think the tube needs to be stored flat. If you try storing it upright on the square lid the product would drip down the applicator. The applicator wand is a perfect medium size that tapers to a point for precise application. Names: I don't like the names. They are kind of raunchy and seem to refer to using lip filler. Revlon seems to have poor marketing decisions recently such as discontinuing the popular Illuminance sheer foundation. But they do have great lip products and they have been making variations of this Spice color for decades. So if you want to do a 90s lip go with the OG. Read more

I put this on Saturday night when going out. I understand it plumps your lips and would have a tingling burning sensation, but this was intense. The color isn’t too dark since it’s a gloss, has a nice shine. They do plump the lips a little bit. Why 3 stars? My lips were peeling by Sunday night and all day Monday. I always wear chapstick so that somewhat saved me, but my lips haven’t shedded layers like that in years. Anything I drank or ate burned. It’s Tuesday night and my lips have finally stopped peeling, and are getting back to normal. That was wild. Read more

I see there’s already a lot of long reviews on here so I’ll try to keep mine simple! Overall I LOVE this product, the only part I didn’t 100% love is the actual color of the shade I got and how the color looks when applied. However, others may love this shade for the same reasons I didn’t like it! I ordered 008 Spice Show knowing that was a very dark plum/maroon. However I did not realize that when applied, on me, it made my lips look more brown than anything else. I have medium olive skin and love a good dark burgundy color but this shade definitely has more of a brown hue to it than I had expected. However there are others who will absolutely rock this shade of lip gloss so as long as you want a lip color with very brown undertones than you will love the 008 Spice Show shade! And otherwise, the lip gloss itself is fantastic. As others have pointed out, this stuff does exactly what it says it will do — it plumps your lips, and it definitely tingles as you’d expect a lip plumping serum to do! But for me I didn’t find it to be particularly uncomfortable or anything, it felt similar to other lip plumping serums I’ve used before. I was really impressed with how long lasting both the color and the lip plumping effects were. This is honestly such a great gloss that I’m thinking I’ll buy myself a tube in a different shade that will hopefully work better for me because the gloss itself is great. The current price is $12.99 which is completely reasonable for this type of lip serum. I love it and definitely will be buying another shade soon! Note for photos, the pen in some pictures is there for size reference, it is a a papermate flair which is a standard sized pen. Hope this review is helpful! Read more

This REVLON PhotoReady instant plump serum works well. I am not a big fan of colors on my lips so I ordered the Needless to Say gloss. I don't notice my lips looking more "youthful" but I do think this gloss provides a slightly plumper look. I have used other plumping serums in the past that have caused instant tingling feelings in my lips. When I initially applied this gloss I was surprised that it did not create that feeling but after a few minutes the tingling began. The sensation is described as fire and ice, which is oddly accurate for how it feels. It's advertised as "non-sticky" and even though it may not be as sticky as other glosses, I wouldn't say that it's non-sticky. I can't say that I'm a big fan of this product so I am not sure how often I will use it but I can see it working well for others. Read more
