If you grew up begging for a Bonne Bell compact or snuck your older sister’s Hard Candy polish, chances are you remember the reign of frosted lipsticks. And if you’re still tempted by a cool-toned shimmer moment, Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Iced Amethyst has quietly been waiting for you — just like it has for the shoppers who’ve “worn this since the 90s” and somehow made it part of their daily routine for decades.

For a $7 frosted berry lipstick to inspire that kind of loyalty, it has to check more than a few boxes. Reviewers swear it does. One fan wrote, “I use Iced Amethyst (#625) sometimes alone and sometimes with a clear gloss. It brightens up your face!” Another said they get compliments “every day,” which is impressive for a lipstick that’s been around since the days of dial-up internet.

The formula helps explain why: the Super Lustrous line has that creamy, comfortable slip that comes from vitamin E and avocado oil — two things that keep this berry-frost shade from ever feeling chalky. Even longtime matte-only people admit this one doesn’t dehydrate their lips. As another shopper put it, “They stay on and don’t smear… I’ve tried very expensive lipsticks but always come back to this brand.”

Color-wise, Iced Amethyst looks like the cool-toned cousin of every teen magazine “plum frost” you once saw on a celebrity’s red carpet close-up. It’s a medium-dark berry with subtle shimmer, buildable enough to go from a soft tint to a mostly opaque finish in two or three swipes. One reviewer who’s worn it for over 10 years said people are “very surprised it is made by Revlon,” which feels like the unofficial thesis of this shade: accessible, nostalgic, and secretly flattering on way more skin tones than you’d expect.

And if you were the ’90s kid who lived for a pearly finish? Someone else summed it up perfectly: “I have found my people… nothing else looks good on me like frosts and pearls do.”
