Overview
['This is the REVLON Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm in shade 018 Beaming Strawberry, a 0.11 oz stick priced at $9.97. It is built in a tube container with a sheer, glossy lip gloss finish and a warm undertone, positioned as a hydrating tinted balm rather than a full-coverage lipstick.', 'The formula centers on hyaluronic acid, aloe, and rose quartz as special ingredients, aimed at moisturizing while adding shine. At 3.1 grams and 0.11 oz, it is a compact, travel-friendly size meant for regular reapplication throughout the day.', 'The Super Lustrous Glass Shine line carries a 4.4 rating from over 6,100 reviews, a large enough sample to trust as a genuine track record. This specific shade shows only about 18 units bought in the past month, which likely reflects shade-level demand rather than any issue with the line overall.']
Pros
- Hyaluronic acid and aloe for hydration alongside shine
- Large, established review base of over 6,100 ratings at 4.4 stars
- Compact, travel-friendly stick format
- Affordable at $9.97
- Sheer, glossy finish suits everyday wear
Cons

- Stick and tube format holds less product than a balm pot, so it may need more frequent reapplication
Performance notes
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws moisture into the lips, while aloe adds a soothing, lightweight layer without heaviness. The glossy finish comes from the balm base itself rather than a separate topcoat, which keeps application to a single step. Because this is a sheer, gloss-forward formula rather than a thick balm, it is better suited to everyday hydration and shine than to intensive overnight repair.
What buyers say
A 4.4 rating across more than 6,100 reviews is a strong, statistically reliable result for the Super Lustrous Glass Shine line as a whole. The low recent purchase count for this particular shade, around 18 in the past month, is worth noting, but it likely reflects shade popularity rather than a change in overall quality.
