Fact: bright lips give me life. Whenever I’m in an especially sassy mood, a great vibrant lipstick always hits the spot. One of my go-to drugstore brands for statement lipstick is Revlon. Revlon Fire & Ice Super Lustrous Lipstick is an iconic shade that was launched in the 1950s. Depending on your skin’s undertones, Fire & Ice can pull warm or cool, but there’s no denying that it’s a stunner.
When wearing a red lipstick like Fire & Ice, I have to be extra careful to conceal all the redness out of my skin, or risk looking feverish. Instead of blush, I lightly dust my face with bronzer. Then, I fill in my brows, and wear something simple on my eyes like a flicked eyeliner, or a subtle smudging of grey or brown eyeliner.
The long-running Unsung Heroes series features much-loved permanent collection products from a variety of bodacious beauty brands.
As with my other vibrant lip shades, I adapt Fire & Ice to whatever I’m doing that day. Going in for a day at the office? Lightly press over lip balm for a sheer stain. Wanna dress to impress at an evening event? In this case, I apply straight from the tube and precisely shape the lines with a lip brush.
On me, Fire & Ice leans more tomato red, but on others it may look more coral or pink. I love the Revlon Super Lustrous line because they are creamy and incredibly comfortable to wear. Honestly, the colour payoff rivals that of high-end lipsticks. At under $10, this is a no-brainer. Prepare to turn some heads with this lipstick on. 😉 Joan Holloway, is that you?!
Do you own any Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in your makeup stash? Have you met Fire & Ice?

July 26th, 2013 at 3:23 pmI love Fire & Ice! I picked a tube up a few years ago, when Revlon launched a LE in its vintage 50s tube. It really is a great color, on me it pulls a lot of pretty orange undertones.

July 26th, 2013 at 5:36 pmHi Kalli! I wish I knew about the vintage tube. I’ve seen them online and they are so gorgeous!

July 26th, 2013 at 4:06 pmA classic! I used to love Revlon lipsticks, but the formula became drying for me. This color makes me want to try it again.
Arianne says
July 26th, 2013 at 5:36 pmHi Nik! Do you find the Super Lustrous drying as well? I find that the Colorburst line sucks moisture out of my lips, but SL is really moisturizing. 🙂

July 27th, 2013 at 8:46 amI own three Revlon super Lustrous lipsticks: Kiss Me Coral (a lovely coral), Cherries In The Snow (bright raspberry) and Slate (muted nude brown). The reason I bought Cherries In The Snow was because I heard rave reviews of it online, and the fact that it was a classic vintage shade introduced in the 1950s made me crave is even more. Now that I’ve found out there’s a whole list of vintage Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks (Stormy Pink, Fire And Ice, Pink In The Afternoon, and Really Red to name a few), I want ALL of them! xD Next on my list is Really Red; I heard it’s a close dupe of MAC Ruby Woo.

July 27th, 2013 at 9:19 amI have this lipstick too! I also have a problem with it drying out my lips after a few hours even if I put lip balm on underneath. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful color!

Arianne says
July 29th, 2013 at 1:34 pmThanks Cassandra! I’m always on the red lipstick train. In face, I’m driving it. 🙂 Glad to have you back on board. 😉

July 28th, 2013 at 11:10 amI own this and several other Revlon Super lustrous lipsticks. I really like them a lot especially: Raspberry bite,Violet frenzy, and Love that Pink. I agree that they are as good as high end lipsticks. Nice cat eye!
Arianne says
July 29th, 2013 at 1:35 pmRaspberry Bite is a favourite of mine, too, but it’s been discontinued, right Denise?
Alison says
July 28th, 2013 at 11:29 amSuch a classic shade! Its so nice to see a Canadian Beauty Blogger guest writing on here. Viva lipstick!
Dionne says
July 31st, 2013 at 11:15 amI have been looking at the Fire & Ice color but was afraid it would be too bright. I am about the same complexion as you and I think I’m going to go for it. I also love Cherries in the snow. I recently bought a lot of vintage lipstick tubes and one was an unused color called Cherries a la mode. Beautiful pink coral color. I believe it’s discontinued though.
