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.

I couldn’t go for the Revlon if it tastes plasticy, cuz that’s so icky. From now on, I’ll order NYX either from Ulta or Cherry Couture since NYX did me wrong with a recent order and horrible CS.

I was thinking wow I need that fuschionista then remembered I already have it. I will have to dig it out! I love how it looks with the gloss. The Revlon gloss in the tube is gorgeous but I agree a little lackluster alone.
