Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm SPF50+

This is such a great idea for a product! It is really hard to find a coloured lip gloss that has SPF, let alone one that has a 50+ rating! The texture of the product is incredibly smooth and the colour is pigmented! I have been getting a lot of use out of this when I am going out for breakfast and lunch and I know I will be in the sun! The only slight downside to this is that there is a slight taste of SPF and the colour advertised is not quite as described. The colour mismatch comes from the 'white' of the SPF in the product so completely makes sense but is worth knowing when you are picking your best colour! Both of these slight downsides are not a bad thing because you can tell there is actually considerable SPF in the product! All in all I would buy one of these as a great option when I'm going out and want to be sun safe but also have a full glam done!

I really like this gloss balm. It feels very smooth and hydrating on the lips, almost like a lip balm but with a beautiful glossy finish. The formula is lightweight and comfortable, and it doesn’t feel sticky like many other lip glosses. I also love that it has SPF 50+, which is great for protecting lips from the sun during the day.  The colour is soft and natural, giving the lips a healthy shine without looking too heavy. It’s perfect for everyday wear and makes my lips look moisturised and fresh. Another thing I noticed is the light scent. It has a mild citrus-like smell, likely from ingredients such as orange peel oil used in the formula. The smell is pleasant and not too strong, and it fades quickly after applying.  The only small downside is that the gloss needs to be reapplied after eating or drinking, but that’s quite normal for most glossy lip products. Overall, it’s a great lip product if you want hydration, shine, and strong sun protection in one. I would definitely recommend it.

I got the clear gloss, so I can’t really comment on the colour or pigment payoff. It smells nice, but unfortunately it still leaves that slightly weird, sunscreen-like aftertaste on the lips, which I’m not a huge fan of. I will say it works nicely as a topper or paired with a good lip liner, and the added SPF protection is definitely a plus if you’re spending time in the sun. Overall, it’s not a terrible product and it does have its uses, but it’s probably not something I would personally go out of my way to repurchase.

Great overall product! Love the colour (shade of lipstick I normally reach for)! Applies smoothly without being too oily or sticky. Lips feel nicely moisturised after applying and don't get dry as quickly compared to other lip balms. Love the spf component in this product, especially during the summer and high UV periods. Layers and blends nicely with my other products such as lip liner and gloss. Also easily reapplied throughout the day. Helpful if your lips are on the drier side and need colour without cracking and splitting!

I found the lip balm to have great colour payoff. The colour itself was a beautiful mauve that leaned more on the cool side. But when trying it on, it has a strange after taste and film on the lips. I like how it has SPF, there are not many brands that include SPF in their lip tints or balms so it was a huge plus and so I can wear it at the beach. I found the consistency nice as it had a light and thin application. However, overall I am unsure whether I would purchase other shades and would hope that the formula improved in future.

I’ve been using Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm SPF50+ for a little while now as part of the review crew and I’m really impressed. It’s incredibly lightweight and glides on effortlessly, giving my lips a subtle, natural shine without feeling heavy. One of my favorite things is that it’s not sticky at all, so I can wear it comfortably throughout the day. Plus, the SPF50+ protection is a huge bonus, keeping my lips safe from the sun without any greasy residue. Perfect for everyday wear when you want a bit of shine and serious sun protection!

I tested the clear version of this balm and I have to say this is such a lovely lip product, however I will say it is closer to a gloss than a balm. It's so much nicer than traditional SPF Lip balms and I will 100% be trying out other shades! Pros: lightweight texture can be applied on top of other lipsticks, SPF 50 is incredible, does not have any fragrance or that weird spf lip balm taste from what I can tell. Cons: Some people may not enjoy the thinner texture, might need multiple reapplications.

I recently started using this product in my daily routine. I live in the sunniest state in Australia where spf is a must even on rainy and cloudy days. I love how this product feels on the lips it’s not sticky or greasy it feels hydrating. I have noticed a difference in the colour of my lips, they look more natural and healthy now. I would recommend this product to people that are looking for something to use everyday with SPF without breaking the bank balance. It’s very adorable and will last you few months

The Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm SPF50+ is an amazing lip product that I’ve really enjoyed using! It feels super nice and moisturizing on my lips, giving them a great, healthy shine that lasts for hours. It’s reassuring to know they’re protected with SPF50, especially on sunny days when I’m out and about. I love how it keeps my lips hydrated and safe from the sun. If you’re looking for a lip balm that actually does what it says and keeps your lips soft, smooth, and protected, this is definitely the one. It’s not sticky at all, which is a big plus, and my lips feel wonderful every time I apply it. The only downside is that the clear gloss has a bit of a sunscreen taste, but honestly, it’s not too strong, and I hardly notice it after a few minutes. I would definitely recommend it for everyday use.

It is a great light weight product. I got cloud kiss transparent and used it on my daily lip routine. This product includes SPF, so it gives me some sun protection on this sunny summer. The lip balm is not very sticky, but like oil texture, which I love. The only issue I concern about is the taste. I guess the SPF formula cause the not very pleasant taste. It slowly went through me from lips to tongue while I am wearing it. I wish they put some fruit taste in to even out the SPF funny ingredients lingering in my mouth. Otherwise, nice product.

I love the concept of this product - there really aren't many options on the market that offer a coloured lip gloss with SPF 50, so that immediately stood out to me. Living in Australia, proper sun protection is non-negotiable, and it genuinely put my mind at ease knowing my lips were protected while still looking cute and put together. I didn't feel like I had to compromise between skincare and makeup, which was a hugeee plus, This particular shade wasn't quite right for my complexion but that is purely personal preference. The formula felt comfortable, smooth and hydrating on the lips. It is slightly sheer, so if you're after intense pigment this might not be the one, but I appreciate that i wasn't sticky or stringy like some glosses can be. The only small downside for me was the scent, it has a slightly unusual smell that may not suit those who are sensitive to fragrances. Overall though, I think it's a fantastic practical option for everyday wear, and great to protect against the sun!

I really liked this lip-gloss and I don't usually like them at all! I think they're usually thick and sticky but this glided on with a light consistency and not sticky at all. I never think about protecting my lips so having spf in this product was a nice bonus. I don't normally like pink shades but it was a nice pop of colour, I can't wait to try the other shades! For very limited effort you can look very put together whilst protecting your lips from the sun. I would highly recommend this product!

Does not come out of the packaging evenly, sputters a little which can lead to product getting on clothes etc. This could be due to the limited amount of product in larger packaging. The formula feels a little grainy on my lips and became too sticky for me, I understand its a gloss but maybe it's just too thick for my liking. I like that it has such a high spf, really important for the Australian sun. The colour was quite nice as well, not too dark and went well with makeup. I would like to see more work done regarding the formulation and packaging if I was to consider actually purchasing this product.

I recently purchased the Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm SPF50+ and it has quickly become part of my daily routine. The formula feels lightweight and smooth, never sticky or heavy, and it gives a beautiful glossy finish with a soft wash of colour. The tint is natural but buildable, making it perfect for both casual daytime wear and a more polished look. The SPF50+ protection is a standout feature, especially for harsh sun exposure, and it keeps my lips feeling hydrated and comfortable for hours without settling into fine lines.

I recently purchased the Revlon Illuminance Gloss Balm SPF50 in the shade Dusty Rose and have been really impressed. The formula feels lightweight and smooth on the lips, with a glossy finish that isn’t sticky or heavy. Dusty Rose is a beautiful everyday shade a soft pink with a natural tone that enhances your lips without looking overdone. It’s perfect for minimal makeup days but still polished enough to pair with a full face. One of the standout features is the SPF50 protection. Living in Australia, proper sun protection is essential, and I love that this product combines colour, shine and high SPF in one easy step. It makes reapplying throughout the day simple and convenient. The hydration is comfortable and keeps my lips feeling soft, although like most gloss balms, I do need to reapply after eating or drinking. Overall, it’s a great everyday lip product that delivers shine, subtle colour and serious sun protection all in one.

Thanks BeautyCrew for sending the product sample to review. It’s got a lovely tint and a healthy glow without being overly glassy or sticky. The biggest win for me is the SPF; it’s so rare to find a comfortable lip product that actually protects from the sun. The tube is super practical for tossing in a bag, and the formula keeps my lips feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day. It could be at par with other lip products in the market with the same market price as well. I would highly recommend for anyone to try it. You can nail the low maintenance look with it.

The Revlon Illuminance Gloss Balm ✨ I immediately recognised how thick the liquid was while squeezing the tube, it’s the perfect consistency. It doesn’t spill out or apply too much onto your lips. The packaging is cute and chic, perfect to store in your handbag and use on a night out. It delivers a gorgeous shine and gloss, highlighting your natural lip colour. It didn’t irritate my sensitive lips and it lasted for awhile after applying, there is no scent or flavouring. Great product for that “ no make-up make-up look “ or just your everyday lippy!

I was sent the Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm SPF50+ in shade 001 cloud kiss to trial. I have really enjoyed using this product. I have always found it hard to find a lip balm that doesn’t dry out my lips or make them super sticky. This product is so nice and leaves my lips glossy but not sticky. Also leaves my lips super soft, moisturised while be lightweight which is a huge plus. I have also used this on top of lip liner and lip stains and it hasn’t smudged the product underneath. Shade 001 cloud kiss is a clear shade so I will definitely be purchasing more from this line in the different shades. I have really loved this product and I will be continuing to use it as well as purchasing more. I highly recommend to everyone

I recently tried the Revlon gloss balm and I LOVE that this product has SPF in it. It’s a lovely colour and feels nice on the lips. However I would prefer a colour that is a little more sheer on the lips. It gave like lipstick colour payoff in a gloss format. It didn’t feel sticky on the lips which is great. I would like to try the formula in a clear or light pink to see but that’s just my personal preference. I love the applicator as well, glides on so smoothly. Would definitely recommend to friends, and it’s great in this Aussie heat to protect your lips. It also gives your lips a nice shine which is exactly what you want from a gloss. I used mine with a nude lip liner and was great night and day

The Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm with SPF 50 is one of those products that immediately catches your attention because it promises something we don’t often see in lip formulas: high sun protection combined with a glossy, hydrating finish. From a concept standpoint alone, this feels modern and genuinely useful. Lip care has evolved beyond simple shine or colour, and incorporating SPF 50 into an everyday gloss balm feels like a smart step forward. Let’s start with the formula. What stood out to me right away was how hydrating it felt on the lips. Some gloss-balm hybrids can lean too sticky or sit on top of the lips without truly nourishing them, but this one felt genuinely conditioning. My lips stayed comfortable for hours, and I didn’t feel the need to constantly reapply for moisture alone. It has that cushiony, smooth texture that makes your lips look fuller and healthier without feeling heavy. For anyone who struggles with dry lips, this is a strong point in its favour. The real game changer here, though, is the SPF 50. Lip protection is so often overlooked, yet the lips are incredibly vulnerable to sun damage. Having such high SPF built into a product that you actually want to wear daily makes sun protection effortless. Instead of layering a separate lip sunscreen under a gloss or lipstick, this combines both steps into one. For holidays, summer days, or even everyday commuting, that level of protection is impressive and genuinely practical. It’s the kind of feature that makes you wonder why more lip products don’t offer the same. In terms of finish, it delivers a beautiful glossy sheen that looks fresh and healthy rather than overly wet or artificial. It enhances the lips nicely and gives that “your lips but better” effect—at least in theory. Where this product fell slightly short for me personally was the shade I chose. The colour leaned quite cool-toned, and on my skin tone it didn’t feel as flattering as I had hoped. While the formula itself is lovely, the undertone made the overall look less harmonious. That’s not necessarily a flaw in the product, but it’s something to keep in mind if you have warmer or more neutral undertones. Shade selection will really matter here. Now, let’s talk price. While I appreciate the innovation and the quality of the formula, I wouldn’t personally pay the asking price again. It sits at a price point where you can find more upmarket lip products with luxe packaging and more universally flattering shade ranges for the same cost. When a drugstore brand starts approaching prestige pricing, expectations naturally rise. Although the hydration and SPF are excellent, I’m not fully convinced it offers enough beyond that to justify the spend. Overall, the Revlon Illuminance™ Gloss Balm with SPF 50 is a thoughtfully formulated, hydrating lip product that truly shines in its sun protection factor. I loved how comfortable and nourishing it felt, and the inclusion of SPF 50 really is a standout feature. However, the cool-toned shade didn’t suit me as well as I’d hoped, and the price makes it harder to fully recommend without hesitation. It’s a strong concept with great benefits—just one that may depend heavily on finding your perfect shade and deciding whether the cost aligns with your expectations.
