A lot of times I go into a store (casually, might I add) and leave with a TON of items (read: backups of backups of backups) because I’m absolutely terrified my FAVORITE items will get discontinued! And, there are a lot of companies who bring back discontinued items, and it’s always amazing! Revlon decided to do a contest with a few colors, and here are the ones who got brought back!!
I, of course, looked for them EVERYWHERE, and finally found out they were at a store near my husband’s work (which is not the closest!) and so I ended up asking him to pick them up for me, which he did! Except, they did not have Snow Peach (which has been very popular!) so I ended up ordering that online because no store near me had them. Guys, I seriously had to tie my hands in order not to order backups, which I decided against! I remembered a lipstick (a glittery silver one) from Revlon’s LE Collection 1996 and I *JUST* finished it like 2 years ago (gross, but I cleaned it a lot)! So, yeah, I don’t need backups!
(L-R: Icy Violet, Jungle Peach, 5th Ave Red, Snow Peach, Sandstorm)
Icy Violet 1946 – Hard to believe this shade came out around my grandmothers’ time! Wow, I love this color! It’s a soft purple that just sparkles!
Snow Peach 1956 – This shade is just sheer delight! It’s got a nice sheer gloss but it’s opaque, does that make any sense? Just take a look at this beauty!
5th Ave. Red 1958 – I’m really loving this retro red! It’s just right!
Jungle Peach 1963 – I think I’ve found my perfect nude! This shade is stunning and I can’t wait to wear this with a few different smoky eyes!
Sandstorm 1999: I was probably entering high school when this came out, and what do you think I thought about this color?! NO WAY! And, now? Chic. Tres chic. I love me some browns/nudes and frosts and sparkle!
Will you be picking these “Retro” Beauties up?! I found mine at CVS, if that helps any!
Purchased by me. All opinions are honest and my own.

You know what .. They do look like a dated formula, nowadays lipsticks are more pigmented.. But they do carry a special charm !!! They all look real pretty ..

They sure do! They are also very moisturizing and lustrous! <3
March 13, 2014 at 4:18 pm
And some of them kinda remind me of my mom and her wearing em so they are even more special 🙂

Yeah… *sighs* Speaking of India, we used to take a LOT of Revlon back in the early ’90s, but now it’s readily available! 😀
March 13, 2014 at 4:25 pm

Nope, I was actually born in MN! Completely a Midwestern girl! 😉

Oh ok .. I figured …
I have been in USA for over 7 yrs now and I can totally relate to what you are talking about your mom and Kajal and the Revlon and all … Sounded just like mine ..
March 13, 2014 at 4:25 pm
Yes! Are you also on the search for the PERFECT kaajal?! I just can’t find my match! 🙁

I am a bit budget friendly person .. So my fav for a while has been L’oreal voluminous smoldering eyeliner.. Retails for around $7 at pharmacy stores .. I wont say that it’s the best, but I found it best for my needs .. Lasts forever !! And u can get the soft and dark “Indian” Kajal look

Hm I’m not sure about them. I may have to see them in person to decide though!
March 13, 2014 at 3:44 pm
Personally, I loved these – a lot of these colors were SO me. And, so easy to apply – soft and luscious. 🙂
March 13, 2014 at 3:45 pm
Revlon is my favorite drugstore lipstick brand. All the colors you showed are gorgeous! I am going to have to look to see if I already have an of them, if not I see a shopping trip in my near future.
March 13, 2014 at 3:48 pm
Aren’t they!? I love them – I almost skipped a few because Hubby was picking them up (LMAO) and then, I told him NO, I want them ALL! <3 SO.GLAD.
