REVLON ULTRA HD LIP LACQUERS **UPDATE NEW COLOUR ADDED**

Happy Friday ladies & gents,


Hope your all having a great day. It is so cold here we are staying inside today, I did go to the store earlier and with the wind chill it was -36, what was I even thinking going out there.

Today on a more warm, shimmery, get you ready for summer note I wanted to share my thoughts on the new-ish Revlon Ultra HD lip lacquers. I only picked up two colours to try them first and I think I may now be picking up two more.

Revlon claims on their website that these lacquers are always silky, never sticky, but I do differ on that opinion or statement. Once on the lips after about twenty minutes or so there is still a tackiness to these. I personally don't mind because they will stay on longer, but some people just out and out hate anything that feels even slightly sticky on the lips. So just an F.Y.I. 

These lacquers are HD wax free gel technology and they do feel nice while applying to the lip. I how ever am not a fan at all of brush applicators and would have preferred to see these with a doe foot applicator. The claim is that they are True colour clarity and I would say this is definitely true. What you see in the tube will absolutely transfer to the lip the exact same. These are very high shine and make the lips look luxe and plump. Other then the mild tacky feel I love these lacquers, they look so beautiful on the lip, which you will see in a moment. 
I wore the lightest shade the other day for a few hours and had drinks before I noticed it was starting to break down and need a reapply.

Take a look

525 PINK DIAMOND
APROX. 6G OF PRODUCT - AVERAGE PRICE IS $10CAD

If your a person that LOVES high shine, glossy sexy lips then I recommend you give these a try. They won't disappoint in terms of colour impact and there are 15 amazing hues to choose from, that will appeal to many skin tones. Oh! did I mention they smell delicious like a vanilla cupcake or some sort of baking.



565 SUNSTONE (PERFECT SUMMER CORAL)

570 SMOKY TOPAZ

I also am hopeful that Revlon will eventually bring out matte versions of these lacquers which would certainly be a hit.

THIS ARE AVAILABLE NOW, I FOUND THEM AT WALMART CANADA AND SHOPPERS DRUG MART OR FOLLOW THE LINK IN THE SIDE BAR AND ORDER THEM FROM WELL.CA 

Hope you enjoyed this review and don't forget to follow my blog if your aren't already

HAVE A GREAT WEEK-END

THE COLOR WORK SHOP "BESAME" LIP GIFT SET

This lip color gift set is by THE COLOR WORKSHOP, every year I see these types of sets appearing in Walmart, so this year I thought I would give it a try and see if its worth it. So the lip set consists of 5 lip crayons and 2 lip glosses.

The package opens like a story book and on the inside cover gives a quick blurb about the contents of the box.

L2R- Lavender, bubble gum pink, orange red, dark pink and coral. This is not the names I just wanted to give you some idea what the selections are because they are nameless.

The gloss on top is a peachy pink and the bottom is obviously a hot pink

These first two swatches are pretty weak in colour payoff which is the lavender and bubble gum pink

These two shades have better pigmentation but if your lips are dry it really shows with these



This last colour in the lip crayons is my favorite, it has that pretty coral shimmer finish that reflects nicely in the light.

The two glosses are really good colours, but I do find them slightly stickier then I prefer, they are useable though, and definitely not the worst I have tried.

I think this makes a great inexpensive gift for someone who is a fan of makeup, especially if you need a gift for a "Secret Santa" because its only $9 and the presentation of it is charming.

HAVE YOU EVER PURCHASED ANY SETS LIKE THESE BY COLOR WORKSHOP FOR CHRISTMAS FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT ASYLUMER'S

XOXO

OH BOY!! IT'S A LONG ONE

 

I have a lot of products to share so I tried to condense some of it into groupings "ENJOY"

 

LIP PRODUCTS

 

Maybelline colour sensational limited edition fall, 1000 Lavender Voltage on left and colour sensational vivids in 860 PINK POP to the right. Also the limited edition colour sensational high shine lip gloss 290 Flash of Pink. The lipstick is super creamy and richly pigmented and wears well and fades evenly. The lip gloss gives beautiful sheer colour, very moisturizing and lots of shine. 

 

Revlon lip butter in SUGAR PLUM is perfect for fall/winter it adds sexy glossiness to the lips and just the right amount of colour for anytime wearability.

 

 

Wet N Wild mega last lip colour in RAVIN'RAISIN a stunning semi-matte lip experience sure to please those who love big impact colour.

 

 

Rimmel Kate lasting finish lipstick  in 110 is a super gorgeous velvet matte lip colour that stays put and does not bleed or feather. This is a bright papaya/red that will bring your lips to life anytime of year.

 

 

NYX creamy round lipstick in STRAWBERRY MILK this is the most delectable ultra opaque light pink lipstick that makes me think of strawberry marshmallows, it is super hydrating, but does need to be reapplied often, but the colour range in this collection is amazing and totally affordable.

 

 

L'Oreal Collection Privee by J'Lo in J'Lo's Nude is bar none the ultimate perfect nude. The super chic and classy packaging is ideally what I would like to see from L'Oreal for all future collections.

 

GOSH volume lip shine in 03 TEA ROSE is one of the very best lip glosses I have tried. I love the colours offered and it applies incredibly smooth with no drag at all. It does not feel sticky either.

The tube is a very sturdy and simple design.

 

Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge water proof liquid lip colour in BRIGHT ORANGE is the clear winner for being the most intense colour payoff ever. Also when used with the clear top coat it will not budge. I have went swimming with this on and it still looked perfect after. This is truly an incredible product and this particular colour is amazing against tan skin in the summer.

 

ANNABELLE TWISTUP IN ROMANCE. These lip crayons are very convenient and offer a huge shade range. They apply very creamy and last several hours on the lip before touch up is required. There is also quite a bit of product per tube.

 

 

 What can I say, if I am not wearing lipstick this is what is on my lips 90% of the time

BARE ENGLISH & CO. MINT CHOCOLATE tea infused organic lip balm. Besides being organic this is also a vegan product. They currently offer 3 flavours and are in the process of some other fun and interesting products coming in the near future;) All around between flavour, moisture retention and visible improvement to chapped lips this product gets a 10 from me.

 

LASTLY FOR LIP PRODUCTS IS MY CHOICE FOR ALL AROUND MOST FAVOURED BRAND AND THAT GOES TO REVLON. They have the most diverse colour range and finishes at drug store level and are the big winners in my books, here is the proof

 

 Top row L2R- 510 Berry Rich (crème),470 Copperglow Berry (pearl) & 625 Iced Amethyst (pearl)

Middle row L2R- 660 Berry Haute (crème), 677 Siren (crème) & 825 Lovers Coral (Shine)

Bottom row starting far left- 001 Nude Attitude (matte), 002 Pink Pout (matte), 415 Pink in the Afternoon (crème), 460 Blushing Mauve (pearl), 850 Plum Velour (shine), 011 Stormy Pink (matte) & 013 Smoked Peach (matte) this shade is one of my all time faves.

 

HOPE YOU LOVED THESE SELECTIONS NOW LETS MOVE ON TO NAIL POLISH, I HAVE 8 TO SHARE BUT DID GROUPINGS FOR THEM.

 

NAIL POLISH PRODUCTS

 

First up is OPI liquid sand in JINX which I purchased right when it first came out and not everyone was familiar with the product yet. It is the best overall for opacity and definitely staying power on busy hands. I have gone a full week with no touch ups. Overall best textured nail polish as well. China Glaze is an amazing bronze thick glitter, but if anyone knows what colour it is please leave me a comment. The sticker with the name came off the bottom:(

 

 

This next polish is near to perfection in my eyes what an amazing glitter from SpaRitual. This is limited edition in the colour OUT LOUD its like an ocean for your nails. SpaRitual are 3 free polishes, they make a very unique colour range in small collections. The time and effort put in shows in the quality of their products.

 

 

GOSH special edition polish in BERRY ME and NYC long wearing polish in 147 Lexington Lilac

Gosh "Berry Me" is a gorgeous raspberry red that is a crème opaque polish. I find Gosh is another company that makes some very unique colours in their collection especially some of the special editions. The only down side is it does chip easily, but very pretty no less. Then you take a budget friendly brand like NYC that offers polish for $1.50 CAD and Lexington Lilac is an amazing feminine colour that wears incredibly well ( I highly recommend it) :)

 

 

To end this very long post is three polishes that are all within different budget prices, but all equally show stopping. Pure Ice in OUTRAGEOUS is a sexy metallic petal pink that leaves an incredible finish and you can easily get away with one coat extremely good coverage $2, Maybelline Color Show Sequins in limited edition shade ROSE BLING such a stunning fine pink glitter with multifaceted large hex glitter combine for a jaw dropping polish $4 and finally very last is SECHE nail lacquer in the colour ENAMORED this is such a splendid chromatic polish, but it does lean on the higher price end at $11.

Both the Pure Ice and Seche can be worn alone, or the Maybelline sequins is a good pairing for both as a top coat.

 

What were your favourite items that I mentioned in this post???

 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING THROUGH MY CLEARLY CRAZY OBSESSION OF LIP AND NAIL PRODUCTS AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

GET YOUR "VIOLET FLARE" ON WITH COVERGIRL SMOOCHIES SIZZLE GLOSS

 

The new CoverGirl lipslicks smoochies sizzle gloss are available in the Capital Collection to coincide with the upcoming release of Hunger Games second movie "Catching Fire." The collection includes 12 of these glosses and several nail polishes, mascara and jumbo eye pencils. Selections will vary from store, location and country. As I have mentioned in the past I tend not to buy a lot of CoverGirl products as the line does not have a lot that appeals to my personal taste. Also most items I have tried I have been less then impressed with.

 

This lip gloss is very similar to that of Bath and Body works Liplicious line of glosses. At one time a couple of years back that's all I used, because I loved the sheer wash of colour and the shine. Now moving forward I have been loving high impact colour lipstick for the moment. Who knows maybe I will get back to loving gloss again, its a cycle. If you too are a makeup collector and makeup junkie then you know what I mean.

 

The sizzle gloss I chose was 526 VIOLET FLARE, I became curious about these due to a blogger by the name of Hope, here is her link to her blog

www.beautyandbliss67.blogspot.com

she has also expanded and started her own YouTube channel as well so be sure to check her out.

 

I think the sizzle glosses are fun. The one I picked smells and tastes like grape soda. They do add shimmer and shine to the lip, but don't last any real length of time on the lips especially if eating or drinking, which I have come to expect with most sheer glosses such as this. I find they go on smooth, but are just ever so slightly tacky if you press your lips together.

 

I don't imagine I would purchase any more, but it's good to have on hand for a quick hit of moisture for the lips if your regular lipstick or lip balm is not on hand.

 

THE GLOSS IS 13ML AND WAS $5 AT WALMART

 

I did also look at the nail polishes which there are some really beautiful offerings with this collection. Mind you I am on a nail polish buying hiatus at the present time. So even if I love polishes I am seeing for fall and winter I am not buying anymore. I have been thinking about selling a lot of mine or giving them away as they are not functional for my lifestyle.

 

 

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU PICKED UP ANYTHING FROM THE COVERGIRL CAPITAL COLLECTION OR IF ANYTHING STANDS OUT TO YOU???

NO BUY NOVEMBER PART3 LIP PRODUCTS

Hi everyone,


I cannot believe we are already in mid of week three here on the "No Buy November" and this week we are looking at lip products that have been hibernating in our stash and need to come out. Again I have several to share as lips and eyes are my two favourite types of beauty products. To me there is nothing sexier then a good set of lips.

WOW ladies hopefully you all have been good this month and didn't sway from the "NO BUY" because we are almost there, 11 days and then its beauty buying freedom again. However I have found it rather easy to do this "No Buy" because for starters I don't buy a lot of high end and there has not been a lot at drugstore level that has been making my heart flutter for the holidays. I also have been busy doing Christmas shopping, decorating and doing fun family activities that has been filling my time and taking my mind off buying beauty products that I really don't need.
Any way after that randomness lets get started.

First are three lipsticks that I really love, but with how many I have it's hard to keep up.

ELIZABETH ARDEN EXCEPTIONAL LIPSTICK IN- CORALINE

 

 

NYX CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK IN-POWER

 

 

 

REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS MATTE LIPSTICK IN- 011 STORMY PINK

 



 

I am enjoying that the lipsticks I have been reaching for all offer something different the Elizabeth Arden is a nice shimmer shade, the Nyx lipstick has great opacity and is very rich on the lips and the Revlon is the perfect matte lipstick all around without being overdrying.

 

L2R: CORALINE, POWER & STORMY PINK

 

 

I also have three glosses to share which now that we are heading into winter I tend to reach for more. They tend to keep my lips moisturized longer and I like shiny lips especially out in the sunshine and snow.

 

BATH & BODY WORKS LIPLICIOUS IN - WHIPPED VANILLA

 

BEAUTIFUL SHIMMER AND YUMMY TASTE

 

 

TONY MOLY CRYSTAL GLAM COLOR GLOSS (CAN'T TELL YA THE NAME AS IT'S ALL WRITTEN IN KOREAN) SORRY!

 



 

I LIKE THIS GLOSS BECAUSE IT ALMOST SEEMS FROSTY WITH IT'S BEAUTIFUL LIGHT PURPLE HUE, I ACTUALLY FORGOT I HAD THIS AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN I WAS RUMMAGING, GREAT WINTER LIPPY:)

 

 

NYC CITY PROOF EXTENDED WEAR LIPGLOSS IN- ROUND THE CLOCK RUBY

 

THIS IS TRULY A CANDY APPLE RED THAT IS PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WHAT SHINE AND PIGMENT

 

 

LASTLY ALL THOUGH I TOTALLY LOVE MY BARE ENGLISH & CO. LIP BALMS I STILL WILL REACH FOR OTHER'S AS WELL AND THE TWO I HAVE BEEN USING THIS PAST WEEK OR SO ARE BOTH BY SOFTLIPS WHICH ARE

 

 

SOFTLIPS PURE LIP BALM CALLED- BERGAMOT PURE

 

AND SOFTLIPS NOURISH IN - FRESH LAVENDER

 

 

I have had both of these lip balms for quite some time and I believe I picked them both up at my local Dollarama. They are super hydrating and the one called PURE really is a lip rescue in a tube. Times my lips have been severely chapped this is the only product that will help next to Vaseline.  

 

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS LOOK AT MANY VARIETIES OF LIP PRODUCTS AND MAYBE DISCOVERED SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY.

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LIP PRODUCTS FOR WINTER AND CHAPPED LIP RELIEF?

 

THANKS FOR READING

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
