While some millennials might be doing a double take with the return of the frosted makeup look, some beauty finds prove that the subtly shimmery look has never really left. Take Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Silver City Pink, a subtly warm-toned, very light pink with a frost finish, for example. The shimmery lipstick has been a staple in some shoppers’ makeup bags for over four decades — and newer beauty fans are discovering it is an excellent color match for MAC Cosmetic’s discontinued lip hue, Bubbles.
One reviewer was instantly obsessed, sharing, “This is a fun little lipstick! I got it as an [alternative] to Mac Bubbles and it is perfect! Goes on so easy! Love the sheerness. Fits perfectly into a pocket.” And it’s no surprise this little $6 lipstick has been winning hearts across generations.
Part of the secret? The formula. With 80% conditioning ingredients, Silver City Pink treats your pout to a dose of moisture while delivering a luxuriously shimmery wash of color. Those microfine pigments mean the lipstick feels lightweight, never sticky or heavy, even when layered with other lip colors or glosses.
One shopper raved, “The more I buy expensive lipsticks the more roads lead back to Revlon. Can’t beat price, textures, colors, and staying power. This color is particularly good to add a sheen as a top color. I don’t like glosses. This is a great substitute.”
Shoppers also say Silver City Pink has serious staying power. One longtime fan shared, “I’ve loved the color Silver City Pink since 1982. Back then in my 20s it was my go-to soft frosted Summer color that was pretty with a tan. Now at 65, it’s my daily color for a softer toned down look, but not too washed out like a nude lip color. What I like best is that it’s a pale warm pink with a hint of peach, no cool blue undertone like most pinks.” Frosted lips and staying power? A retro beauty win.
If you’re still mourning the loss of Mac Bubbles, Revlon’s Lustrous Lipstick in Silver City Pink might just be your new best friend. Affordable, timeless, and so easy to wear, it’s a true beauty fave. At just $6, why not add the shimmery, nostalgic lipstick to your collection?
