Revlon Diamond Lust Collection (2011) Review and Swatches

I always love a re-release. Not many people are aware that diamond lust was the name of an eye shadow that was available from Revlon in 2006 as part of an amazing collection (i scoured the internet looking for the name but i couldn't find the official name) that i wish would have never been disconnected. It was the first time i bought an entire, yes entire, drugstore collection. This collection was so amazing and so different i still adore it till this day. The collection included a glitter lip topping called Sugar Sugar, eye last orbs that were liquid that sat on your eye lashes like small little rain drops, shimmery, shadows called Diamond lust, lip stains called Just Bitten, nail polish, lip gloss, bronzer, even liquid metal eye shadow cream. you name it this collection had it, was different, and did it like no other brand at the time!

Oh i'm sorry i got really nostolgic there for a minute. As i was saying a re-release like Diamond Lust really got me excited. I found out about it later than i had hopped to but once i found it online i bought all the shadows and i can not help but rave about them. Revlon made them better than ever! 

The new Diamond Lust has nautical and celestial names rather than names that conger up ideas of the bedroom. It is not as sheer as the original and contains actual micro glitter rather than just being a shimmer. I have to say i like the re-release way more than the first and this isn't just my opinion due to thinking in retrospect. While this version is a bit more pigmented because it contains actual micro glitter there is more fall out, instead of fallout shimmer its fall out glitter. So you may have to brush under your eyes lightly with a fan brush after using this. It can be a little hard to blend but if you use it over primer and build lightly and blend with the built up layers you should have no problem.

 Here is a list of the available colors along with swatches.

Overall these shadows can create dramatic glittery looks and i would recommend them to anyone who wants to create a dramatic look whether it is smoky or shimmery!
