Stupidest lipstick on the entire planet. Once again, Revlon produces a piece of sh*t.

This is my second lipstick that I have gotten from Revlon's Colorburst collection. I bought it because I needed a break from hot pinks, so I decided a cute pale pink with a touch of glitter would do nicely with my skin tone.
The packaging quality is pretty good, it comes in a really cute black lipstick case, and the lipstick doesn't make a sound when rolling it up.
For the product itself, I actually liked it a lot when I first got it... almost wore it everyday. A little side note though, a down factor is that it does not come with much lipstick. Anyways, I bought it in September and it worked fine, showed a little bit of a pale pink color, nothing bright, but its supposed to be pale!
Right when it started getting colder, my lips got a little dried out, and a nice lip balm USUALLY helped. But when I had dry lips then applied the lipstick, the color went into the lines on my lips, and the glitter was on my actual lips!
It looked weird...
So don't buy it if you have dry lips!
Price was pretty good for what it actually is, but I don't think I'll buy it again... :)

Its definitely misleading to the color labelled on the packaging but seriously, It's not THAT bad. Its given my lips a nice pinky lipgloss/lipstick color which I don't mind. I suggest a lip-primer and some pencil to make it pop more!

This product would be so incredibly pretty...if it actually showed up. It shows up alright if you rub it on your lips like crazy, but it definitely takes more work than it should, and on a swatch it is invisible. But if you love the idea of this color, but were disappointed with the pigmentation, try the new Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in Creamsicle. It is about 99.5% IDENTICAL. The main difference is that it's incredibly smooth; it has no shimmer or sparkle in it, like Pink Sugar does. Creamsicle is like the prettier twin of Pink Sugar. Pink Sugar is definitely a waste of money though! I find that the Colorburst lipsticks are very hit and miss.

HORRIBLE!.....NO COLOR PAYOFF WHATSOEVER!....GLITTER EVERYWHERE!..All I want to know is what in the heck was Revlon Cosmetics thinking with this shade. It's not even a shade for God's sake. It's clear with glitter. There is no pink that I can see, but there sure is a whole lot of Sugar/Glitter. My goodness, I have done some bad reviews before but I don't think I have ever seen something so atrocious in my entire life in a product. I was amazed at how terrible this liptick was. I have not been impressed with any of the Colorburst shades in that line, NONE of them, to be honest. I wasted my $1 off coupon on this mess.

I got this on sale for $2.50, I would not pay the normal price of $8.99 for this particular shade. Like everyone says, the cap shows a pale, opaque, baby pink shade, but on your lips it barely shows up at all. I have to scrape this on my lips for any kind of color pay off, and when I put layers on my lip to get color, I feel a lot of gritty glitter pieces which I do not like. Pink sugar is ultra sheer, frosty/shimmery with glitter. A great pink/natural shade but more on the lines of chapstick or the look of lipstick once it has faded off a few hours after applying. The base pink/natural shade is muted, but the slight sheen it has, on top of the silver glitter pieces do make your lips look moist and fuller which I do love. This formula feels moist at first but dry 10 minutes later because you feel the glitter crusty pieces when you put your lips together. I think Pink Sugar is a good name for this being a pale pink, and silver glitter representing the sugar. Sadly, there is just not much to this lipstick, and not worth full price. I was expecting a full color cream lipstick from the cap. These lipsticks are taped on one side so you can't open them up in store to peak at the color. Staying power is average of other Revlon lipsticks. If you want something identical in color, frost, & glitter but more moisturizing try- Lip Smackers in Strawberry Kiwi. Get the tube with the silver & pink metallic wrapper, or try Burt's bees shimmer chapsticks they are exact pale pink with frosty silver shimmer :) continued >>

I disagree with most of these negative reviews. This lipstick is plenty pigmented. you just need to swipe it a few times to bring the color up to the level you want. I love it because it's the perfect baby pink. Most lipsticks are way too dark for my pale coloring. This one works for me. Could have done without the small flecks of fine glitter. Not a deal breaker, but not an added attraction, either.

Ok, the color on the tube is not the color you get on your lips...this lipstick has a slight trace of baby pink pigmentation with fine particles of glitter, not at all what i was expecting. the glitter isn't particularly overkill, imo...I mainly use this lipstick over top of nude/pink or mauve lipliner filled into my lips to add a little extra "something"...gives it a nice, shiny, soft finish with a hint of cool pink. I wouldn't buy it again, though, as i find this to be more of a pinkish-tinted lipbalm...it feels smooth and glides on easy and leaves lips moisturized.

I purchased this lipstick after buying two the other day in the same line. The color looked promising on the cap, but I was slightly disappointed.
When applied on the lips, there is barely any pigmentation. And no where does it say that the lipstick is a frost (btw, I absolutely hate frost), but it is. The color is a almost clear cotton candy tint...with huge chunks of glitter.
I'll continue to wear it, as I hate wasting money, but I will avoid this color in this color. Their other colors in this line are definitely hits though; this one just got left behind :D

I love this color! I can't believe so many others dislike it! Olivia Wilde wore this on the cover of Allure magazine and I fell in love, so I went right out and got it and am not disappointed! It lightens my lips slightly, but yet adds this beautiful shimmery pink effect. I guess it's a nude with a dusting of pink- perfect and exactly what I wanted it to be! Definitely mlbb!

When I put this on, it was the same color as my lips with JUST a hint of light shimmery pink on it. I would recommend this to whoever just wants a little glitter/shimmer on their lips.

.....I feel like this lipstick took an 8.99 glittery crap on my lips. This looked so promising in the tube and on the cap but when I went to swipe it on my lips, it literally looks like those Bonnie Belle glitter chapsticks I used to wear in middle school. It's sheer, almost completely, and is so fully loaded with glitter that when you try and build up the color all you're really doing is making a thick layer of glitter chunks on your lips....SEXY.

WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION I DON'T EVEN...

This is utter crap. The swatch on the top of the tube, the color of the label on the bottom of the tube, hell even the color of the product itself, is SO FAR OFF from the actual pigment of this "lipstick" (if that is your real name) that I would feel comfortable declaring it false advertisement. "Color" should also be in quotes as there is no pigmentation whatsoever--this is a clear chapstick.

Furthermore, what's most insulting is the fact that not only is this lipstick clear, it also contains REAL LIVE FLAKES OF GLITTER, just in case you really wanted to relive all of your bad makeup decisions you made in middle and high school.

Save your money and buy any lip product you can find at Claire's or The Icing, as they are all perfect dupes.

I exchanged "Fashion's Night Pout" for this because I want a nude but cannot pull off brown nudes and this appears to be a pink nude. NOPE! It's transparent except a shine and if you rub really hard, glitter flecks. What a downer. Go for "Baby Pink" or even "Candy Pink" instead if you're after a pink from this line.

I definitely would NOT buy this again. There is absolutely no pigment at all. It just gives a milky clear color with sparkles in it. It feels really awful on my lips, and 30 seconds after applying it, you can't tell you put anything on. Well, except for the bits of glitter which flake off and land on your face. And believe me, that is not an attractive look...... I really wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my money on this. Essentially it looks like chap stick on your lips until it dries and then it's blobs of glitter flaking off everywhere.

My skin isin NC20 combination skin. My natural lip color is pink with a blue undertone.
I bought Pink Sugar during a BOGO50% at Walgreens. This is a sheer, baby pink lipstick with micro-glitter. This lippie can be applied even without a mirror! It is not drying on my lips but the micro-glitter particles do leave a slight gritty feel on my lips, but nothing that it is bothersome to me. This is just a soft, sweet-looking lippie that would be perfect paired up with a light pink blush and soft eyeshadows. This is also the perfect shade for a young lady-in-the-making since it is barely there, yet noticeable. I won't buy it again simply because I have a ton of Pink Sugar-Like glosses already, but I don't regret buying the tube I have :)

I love this lipstick!
I have very pigmented lips, and this lightens them up a bit.
It has a beautiful shimmer and glitter that I just love, and the color is very pretty.
I'm very fair, and this is a great nude for anyone with fair skin.
The glitter may be a bit rough when you're applying the lipstick, but I kinda like that.
Will definatley rebuy!

I picked this up and it was a beautiful pinky nude, it looked like the PERFECT colour. When I put it on it was glittery and super sheer. After a while it leaves just bits of glitter on your lips and it looks like you have crumbs on your lips. It is a s**t lipstick, totally do not reccomend it. The glitter ruins it for me. Huuuugggge waste of money.

I actually like this lipstick. My eye makeup is usually very heavy, so I'm careful with lipsticks so that I don't look like a painted lady. This works well on my pale face, as long as I apply a thin layer. It's also great for layering over other lipsticks. Just use sparingly, if you overdo your lips will look like a discoball.

This lipstick was so dry and left my lips feeling terrible - not to mention the glitter it left on my lips - ick! This stuff isn't cheap in Canada, even when you buy it at Wal-mart, so I had some higher expectations I guess. Won't use it ever again - don't buy!!
