Revlon Review

Ciao my little fashion disciples! I hope you are all doing fabulous as I come to you today with a little review on some great new products I recently picked up. 

If you're anything like me, I can't go to the drugstore without getting sucked into the beauty isle and seeing the new products that came out. I'm like a moth to the flame. I get sucked in and want to buy every product in ever color. This time it worked out in my favor because I love what I picked up! 

I'm talking about two great new products Revlon has come out with. Their Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain & Revlon Lip Butter Balm.

I got three of each to try. Let's start with the Kissable balms, which I got the colors Romantic, Rendezvous & Darling.

Left to Right: Romantic, Rendezvous, Darling

I LOVE all three of them. They have a more moisturizing effect then the original Just Bitten stains (which I also love) and they kind of remind me of the Chubby sticks from Clinique. It looks like a big crayon that you paint your lips with. It goes on smoothly, but make sure your lips are nice and smooth because if not it'll look horrible. The staying power is pretty good & they definitely stain the lips. Even when the balm effect wears off you still have color, so no need to always be reapplying. 

My favorite of the three is Darling. A lilac pink color which looks great on & it stayed on my lips forever. Rendezvous is a tangerine & Romantic is a nice red color. 

For the price (around $7) you can't beat it. They work, look great & have tons of fun colors to try out for summer. Deff. must try for all you ladies. 

Now, the Lip Butter balms are FAB-U-LOUS! I love lipstick and I love tinted balms and if those two things were to have a baby this would be it. They have great pigmentation and the color really shows on the lips. The packaging is also great with the clear top so you can see the actual color before you buy it. I ended up getting Cupcake, Tutti Frutti & Cotton Candy. These are about $6-7 bucks and so worth it. They give you lipstick color but with a touch of gloss and the moisture of a balm. I was surprised how much color they give off.

Tutti Frutti is a tangerine orange, similar to MACs Morange lipstick. LOVE IT. Cupcake is a sheer blue-pink, kinda reminds me of MACs Nicki Minaj color and Snob & last but not least is Cotton Candy which is a warm pink with a touch of gold. I will deff. be going to pick up some more asap because they are superb and there are so many colors to choose from!

Ladies, these two products get a thumbs up from me. What do you think? Will you give em a go or skip this one?

P.S Sorry for the poor pictures, as soon as I find my camera I'll repost & this is my own personal review, NO product was given to me to try.

Summer Make-up Trends and Tips 2012!

Summer is one month away and we have some new make-up trends to play with during one of my favorite seasons. From bright lips to a natural glow look! So clean out that make-up door with last season's colors and go shopping for these awesome new looks!

1. Tangerine Lips: Tangerine lips are all the rage. Apply a lip liner under the whole lip to make the color stick and not run or apply foundation to your lips and then blot after applying color. Try MACs Morange color!

2. Pop of Color Eyes: Pick out your favorite daring hue, whether it be green, blue or purple and apply it to your eyes in either shadow form or keep in simple with a streak of colored liner. Keep the rest of your face natural with bare lips to balance out this look.

3. Fresh Faced Look: Summer 2012 was all about this look on the runway. Use a moisturizer to improve texture and complexion of skin and use a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. Also apply a pore minimizer for a flawless complexion. You can try a tinted moisturizer in place of foundation for an added glow. Apply some balm to your lips and highlight your cheeks and brow with a highlighter and you're good to go.

 

 

 

4. Metallic: Spice up that smokey eye with a touch of metallic shadow or liner. It's all about golds, silvers and coppers this season. 

 

 

5. Stained Lips: Bold color stained lips are in style for this season. Trade in the glossy lip look for a matte finish. Try slicking on your favorite lip color if you don't have stain and blot it for a subtle, matte finish.

6. Contouring: Show off those gorgeous cheek bones of yours' and add some bronzer from your cheekbones to the top of your ear. 

 

 

7. Retro Glamour: The vintage look in totally in. For this look, keep your face fresh and add a sweep of black eye liner to your eyes and wing the tips for extra flair , then apply mascara. Don't forget your red lip because it's essential to complete this look!

8. Colored Lips: Gloss is out and lipstick is in. Try out a hot pink or dark purple lip! Make sure to apply a color your lip with a lip liner similar in color in order to have the color stick or apply foundation and powder to your lips, apply color, blot then crush some powder on top and there ya go! No runny lipstick !

9. Bold Statement Liner: Grab that black liquid eye liner and draw bold lines of your eyes. Wing them out as far as you want for a super feminine look. 

 

 

My personal favs are the stained lips and fresh faced! I can't get enough of these new looks. Which are you eager to try?
