A long while ago I made a couple of lip gloss purchases on separate occasions and then noticed that the two looked incredibly similar. I’m drawn to purple/fuchsia sparkle, what can I say? I am comparing Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet with NYX Glam Lip Gloss Aqua Luxe in Velvet Ropes.
First up is Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet. It looks so pretty!
I can’t say I love the taste of the Revlon gloss, it has a bit of a chemical scent/taste for me. I do like the feel of it, very smooth, not sticky. I also can’t say I like how it looks worn alone on the lips either. Not too thrilling.
However…Sugar Violet really pumps up my favorite lipstick, Fuchsianista from the Wet n Wild Fergie line!! Take a look:
Revlon’s Sugar Violet takes an already AWESOME lipstick and puts it over the top!
Next up is NYX Glam Lip Gloss Aqua Luxe in Velvet Ropes. Oh, the sparkly fuchsia!
The NYX gloss has no scent or taste that I can detect, which is ok (better than a bad scent/taste). Again, wearing this gloss alone is nothing special. I really like the feel of this gloss though, it’s extremely buttery and slick and not sticky.
You can see here that when swatched both Sugar Violet and Velvet Ropes look very similar:
Overall, I would say these two are so much alike that you would not need both. They swatch very similar and the feel is almost the same, too. I would say grab the NYX gloss because I like the flexible doe foot applicator better AND you get basically double the amount of product (NYX is .24 fl oz / Revlon is .13 fl oz).
Find NYX Glam Lip Gloss Aqua Luxe at NYXCosmetics.com and Target, $6.
Find Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss at Target, Walmart, and more $6 – $8.

What do you think of these glosses, either of interest?
Wow! I was just looking at the Nyx glosses online and wondering which should make the cut for the arduous process of getting stuff down here to Middle Earth (giant eagle shipping is extortionate!), saw Velvet Ropes, wanted it, then wondered how similar it was to Sugar Violet, which I already own. Hopped onto the inter tubes, and what should I find but your great review! Thanks! 😀 I’d also never thought to layer Sugar Violet over my favourite fuchsia lipstick, but now I MUST DO IT 😀

Thanks so much for your nice comment! Yes you simply MUST try it over fuchsia lipstick, I adore it. I am still always drawn to these shades just picked up another new one from CoverGirl just the other day!
NYX has some awesome products. I think I’ll pick that shade up next time I’m at Target!
