Relove by Revolution Super Fill Lipliner [Sweet] Review
By Maychiri's Thoughts - May 23, 2024
An affordable lip liner – this is the Relove by Revolution
Super Fill Lipliner, in the shade Sweet!
This was another Relove product that I was absolutely
itching to try! Relove is known for being the most affordable of the Revolution
family, but that doesn’t mean it’s the worst in quality, because it manages to fight
this prejudice by being fantastic with a budget price! Lip liners are a must
for me, so when I saw that Relove launched one I just had to get one! But which
shade? Dream, Glam and Cream all looked nice, but they all seemed like they’re
either too orange or too brown, which is a very common issue for me. Lots of
‘nude’ shades look orange on me. I needed a nude shade that would match my
lips... Sweet looks like it’s the closest to this, it looks like a very ‘sweet’
rose shade, indeed! Hmm, could this be the one?? I sure hope so... but even if
it’s not, I’m sure it will be a fantastic addition to my lip pencil collection!
Now, let’s see how good it truly is!

Packaging: a simple design, but it doesn’t have to overly
extravagant. The pencil is white with a coloured section on one end. The cap
and some of the text matches this colour, and the colour itself is a very close
match for the pencil. The cap closes very tightly. The text on the pencil is
very bold and modern-looking, I love it! The pencil itself is your regular old
wooden pencil.

Ingredients: only vitamin E for nourishment. No parabens.
The scent is subtle, it smells waxy and like wooden pencils... because this is
a wooden pencil, after all! The expiration date is quite short, only 6 months,
but it stays good for much, much longer than that! So I wouldn’t worry too much
about the PAO.

The colour is officially described as being a “dusky pink”; I
would agree! It’s a muted, soft rose that does look quite dusky. It’s medium
dark, which should make it appropriate for many skintones. It’s similar to 'puce'
and 'Turkish rose', but it’s less vibrant than either. It’s a bit mauvey, which
makes it so natural; indeed, it is just a tad darker than my lips, showing just
how natural it truly is! It makes it possible to overline the lips but still
have them look completely natural, like they’re naturally pouty!
Gorgeous
colour, truly, and one I have been searching for for so long! It was so hard to
find a colour that almost matches my lips, so when I managed to find such a lip
pencil, it became precious to me!

This lip pencil may be close to the colour of my lips, but
it’s actually extremely pigmented! One layer is enough to get a rich, even
layer of colour but it can absolutely be built up if you want it to be thicker.
I love how it’s so richly pigmented, it’s so easy to line and fill the lips
because of that! It looks gorgeously rich when I fill in my entire lips with
it, wooow!

This is super easy to apply! Like, even if it is blunt, it
still deposits pigment evenly and richly across the lips! And it’s very precise
when it’s both blunt and sharp, which makes lining the lips – or overlining
them – a breeze! The cupid's bow only takes a few seconds to line properly and
everything else goes smoothly as the lip pencil doesn’t tug or pull at the
lips.

The formula is quite waxy and a bit tacky but here I don’t
mind it that much. I don’t usually like overly waxy formulas but this one feels
comfortable for whatever reason. Maybe because it’s actually incredibly
lightweight, as it feels featherlight despite that waxiness. The formula
applies perfectly evenly with just one layer and it doesn’t look cheap at any
point. It becomes a bit powdery after a while, but it doesn’t really change
much during the day. Plus, it doesn’t transfer at all!

The texture of this lip pencil is ultra matte. Now, this can
easily veer into cakey and dry territory, but this pencil manages to avoid
that. It looks velvety soft and there’s no shine at all! But even though
there’s no shine, it doesn’t usually look dry. It does, however, emphasise the
fine lines of the lips, particularly if lips haven’t been exfoliated properly. It
doesn’t emphasise them that much, though, so I don’t mind it too much. It
is worth mentioning, though. But overall, I love how it makes my lips look so
soft and matte, and it’s not even that noticeable that I’m wearing a lip liner
because it’s pretty close to the colour of my lips! Yes, this is exactly what I
have been searching for! It’s perfect!
I have a few complaints about the comfort of this pencil. It’s
the tackiness and how it’s a bit too waxy. It feels a bit tacky the whole time
you are wearing it, which isn’t the most pleasant thing, but at least it’s a
dry type of tackiness. It also feels a bit too waxy and dry at the same time, again,
this isn’t too comfortable. But it’s still pretty comfortable all things
considered! The waxiness and light tackiness is easy to get used to, and, since
the formula doesn’t really change over time, it stays this comfortable until
you remove it! All that said, it does dry out my lips a little bit.
Longevity is pretty good! I think the waxy formula is to
thank for this good longevity! It doesn’t feather, smudge or fade throughout
the day; 8 hours later it still looks almost the same as when I first applied
it – provided I don’t drink or eat too much. See, greasy food tends to make it
fade from the centre. It handles drier food and drinks relatively well, and
doesn’t fade very much, but I would still recommend reapplying it after a meal.
However, since it’s so close to the colour of my lips, I can barely see that it
has faded, so I usually don’t even reapply it since it’s not very visible that
it changed after a meal! See how useful it is to have a pencil that matches your
lips?? It’s wonderful! Honestly, I never thought it would stay almost unchanged
for hours upon hours, this is incredible!

This lip pencil is extremely easy to remove! Only one swipe
with micellar water and it’s gone, that’s all it requires!
It’s also extremely easy to sharpen! It very, very rarely
breaks and it only takes a few turns in the sharpener to get it to be very
sharp. Fantastic!
All in all, this has quickly become one of my favourite neutral lip liners! It is beyond fantastic! The pencil is precise even if it’s blunt, and doesn’t ever look smudgy or messy! It’s super easy to apply and usually doesn’t tug at my lips. The formula is incredibly easy to use and applies evenly, and it looks so velvety smooth and wonderful! It can look a bit dry if your lips aren’t exfoliated properly, but it’s mostly good. The lip liner lasts for an incredibly long time; it doesn’t smudge or fade over time although food does damage it to varying degrees depending on how greasy it is. I highly recommend reapplying it after eating as it will be damaged to some degree. It feels a bit dry on lips, but it doesn’t dry out my lips too much, maybe just a tiny bit. But the colour! Oh my god, this is legit the best subtle rosy lip pencil I have ever used! It’s such a subtle colour on my lips, like my lips but better! This allows me to overline my lips and still have them look naturally luscious and plump – they look especially plump with this lip liner and a clear lip gloss, that’s such a magnificent combination! But even if you are wearing it by itself, it looks incredible when you fill in your lips with it! I love this lip liner sooo much, and it doesn’t cost a lot at all! Super affordable and super good! I will recommend it highly, it is exceptionally good! It’s been a long time coming... but now I finally have a proper rosey nude lip liner that matches my lips... feels good!
Rating: 8/10
Would buy again? Absolutely YES
