Redditers Swear This $10 Lipstick Is “Comparable to Chanel,” and It’s Finally Back In Stock

This past September at New York Fashion Week, I discovered a juicy insider secret: Revlon was *finally* bringing back a discontinued hit. The hero originally launched in 2020 and became a viral TikTok sensation with over 230 million views, then was quietly phased out due to pandemic-related supply chain delays. Pardon the dramatics, but beauty fans were absolutely beside themselves. Sure, TikTok-viral lip products are a dime a dozen these days (Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick, Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve… the limit does not exist!), but only a select few have received dedication like Revlon's $10 hero.

"Good thing I hoard them because they’re literally the best, best lipstick I have ever own[ed]. Comparable to my Chanel," one Redditer wrote back when it was discontinued. "They are definitely the closest to something like YSL Rouge Volupté Balm or Chanel Rouge Coco Flash," another lamented on the same thread. Needless to say, this is a drugstore balm that feels expensive—and now, it's back on the shelves! Find every detail on the beloved relaunch below, including the viral shades to get your hands on before they quickly sell out.

Here she is! Revlon's Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm is a balm-gloss hybrid, offering rich color payoff and high-shine with a burst of hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid and aloe. The finish is beautifully sheer yet buildable, and the glide is comfortable and never sticky, which is what makes it feel way more expensive than its $10 price tag. Note, the formula remains the exact same as the original Glass Shine balm. (OG devotees, rejoice!) The packaging received a bit of a 2025 facelift—a sleek, white and gold tube—but rest assured the goods inside remain unchanged.

As soon as I watched celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo tap on the coveted balm backstage at Christian Siriano, I knew I had to get my hands on the cult favorite; and after testing all of the 10 shades, I can confirm that this budget-friendly lip product is certainly giving designer.

My favorite of the bunch has to be Honey Shine, which deposits the prettiest, peachy-rose hue. A mauve-y, rosy lip situation is my makeup failsafe, so this glossy balm instantly earned a permanent spot in my lip combo. It pairs beautifully with my go-to lip liner (Ortega Beauty's Soft Contour) and gives my lips a juicy, just-bitten effect.

Honorable mention to Pink Flip, which IMO is akin to the Chanel lipstick Margot Robbie and Sofia Richie reportedly love. I'd also be remiss not to call out Rum Raisin, which arguably became the brand's most TikTok-viral shade. People have been clamoring for the '90s-esque, mauve-brown hue, so much so that it's already sold out at Ulta. (At present, it's still available to snag on Amazon, so I suggest you act fast!)
