SONIA AND REVLON, L'OREAL OH MY!

Want to see some more delicious lip products??? While I have some random ones to share with you today from various brands "HAPPY DISCOVERING"


REVLON LIP BUTTER 030 FIG JAM

Normally I don't tend to gravitate to shades that are some what to the brown side, however I had read and heard good things about this particular colour and kept looking at it in the store, so I caved and bought it finally. Also I love the lip butters because they moisturize well and the darker shades have good colour payoff.

L'OREAL COLOUR RICHE BALM 318 HEAVENLY BERRY

I am somewhat disappointed with the colour payoff of this, even if its sheer it can still be pigmented and this just really isn't great. I have previously loved "Nourishing Nude" from this same line, but this isn't doing it for me, especially at $9 CAD a pop.

 In the tube this looks very promising

not so  much once swatched

Its to bad because as I said I do like these normally and they feel very nourishing on the lips. If nothing else I just have a nice lip balm here :P

Last up I saved the big winner for the end.

I was at my newly opened Target location and of course was into the makeup. I decided to try out the

SONIA KASHUK SATIN LUXE LIP COLOUR 93 CLASSIC RED 

The first thing that caught my attention is the sturdy high end looking modern tube with Sonia's name down one side of it. I like that there is a block of colour at the bottom to give you some idea what your in store for. I would say in this case the colour offered on the outside is true to the colour of the product itself. Once I got it home and opened it I was very pleased as it has a lovely gentle vanilla scent and the colour is sinfully perfect, lets take a look

This is the first real true red lipstick I have purchased in a long time and I am loving it. Its smooth and silky and very intense pigment and the scent is great. The only thing I have noticed is for some reason as I am wearing it after a while it feels like my lips are getting a bit dry, but your experience may be total different with it. I will just add a dab of clear gloss if needed.

I will definitely be picking up a few more of these lipsticks in the near future.

REVLON LIP BUTTERS & LIPSTICKS

Welcome back readers,

I hope your all having a great day.

A lot of people enjoy Revlon products and if you have been reading here for a while, you know I never get tired of Revlon lippies and there is plenty to be had. Quite a long while back I picked up two lip butters and two lipsticks because I got them for 50% off sometime before or during Christmas holidays.

The first two lip butters I went for this time around are

65 CREAMSICLE- This is a very sheer nude peach toned lip butter with very little pigmentation. I do like it if you want to do a no makeup makeup look, but its definitely not a favourite within my lip butter collection.

10 RASPBERRY PIE- is a bold jeweled tone lip butter that not only is highly pigmented,  but also leaves behind a beautiful berry stain on the lips as it wears down.

Obviously the love affair with lip butters is because they not only have a wide range of colours, but because they feel so soothing on the lips. I prefer Revlon brand over most of the other lip butters on the market right now.

Next up are two lipsticks that have a crème finish which tend to be my favourite for lipsticks, because you get the creamy feel on the lips, but a good opacity similar to a matte. I hardly hear anyone speak of these lipsticks and I understand they are not new colours added to the Revlon line, but these should definitely be given more blog time.

The first colour is 683-DEMURE

A beautiful peachy nude with an ever so slight sheen in the light. The lipstick it self has a very fine glitter in it, but its not obvious on the lips it just seems shinier and glowy.

One of my new favourites to my Revlon collection is this next colour

668-PRIMROSE

A stunning mauve based nude pink, that is perfectly wearable day or night. It doesn't get much closer to perfection then this.

There is such a huge range of colours and finishes from Revlon. I can't say it enough, they truly are the best brand for lip products at drugstore level.

I have been a fan of Revlon in general for many years now and I look forward to seeing much more from them in the years ahead.

I believe after discount I got all 4 items for about $20

THANKS FOR READING

XOXO:)

REVLON LIPSTICK HAUL AND LIP BUTTERS

It's not often that Revlon lipstick's or the lip butter's go on sale as low as $3.99, which they did about a week or so back. That being said I took full advantage and have a few to share with you all today.

The first two are matte finishes

001- NUDE ATTITUDE
This colour is a very beige nude with a hint of peach undertone. It is quite like a concealer and that's just me telling it like it is. It's wearable, but if you hate that look of bare lips then I don't advise this colour. However I love nude's and you can make it work by adding a pale coloured gloss over top.

011- STORMY PINK

Stormy Pink is a perfectly pink matte lipstick and I love it as much as Revlon's matte lipstick "Pink Pout". The difference is this is a bit more of a deeper, richer pink with blue undertones.

I have had several compliments since purchasing and wearing this shade. Hope you will all try it too.
It also photographs nicely.

The next three are all crème finish

415-PINK IN THE AFTERNOON
After I got home and took a better look at all the lipsticks I realized three of them are only a mere shade different and almost look all alike. So make sure to compare colours side by side if you can in store if testers are available. I like this colour because it's a rose type shade with a subtle burnt orange undertone. I know that sounds odd considering its called "pink in the afternoon."

677- SIREN

Siren is a great get you ready for summer colour. For a long time I wasn't purchasing a lot of cosmetics I fell out of the loop and had lost touch with what was out there and colours that have been on the market for a while now have become new gems to me. This colour looks great against tan skin and all the crème lipsticks are very emollient on the lips. I find these a bit better for someone like me who tends to have dry or chapped lips very easily. Siren does not wear as bright as what you see in the tube.

510-BERRY RICH

Berry Rich is the darkest of the three shades (blushing mauve and pink in the afternoon). They are the shades I find to be very close in colour family. It has a wine burgundy feel in the tube and in dim light, but seems much redder in the swatch under lamp light. I think now after seeing how close in colour these lipsticks are I do have a bit of buyers remorse. I probably would have passed on purchasing this one and "pink in the afternoon." As they are not really different enough to warrant the purchase.



460- BLUSHING MAUVE (pearl finish)

Again this is another very flattering colour that I have had compliments on. It's surprising how we all discover new products that have literally been there for ages, they just tend to get overlooked because the focus tends to shine mostly on new releases. This colour is very similar to "Pink in the Afternoon." Blushing Mauve is just a bit more to the berry tone side making it a tad darker. I think this is a very year round friendly colour and can work for many skin tones.

REVLON LIP BUTTER'S

055- CUPCAKE

Cupcake is a great candy, bubble gum, icing, cotton candy pink that sheers out and gives the lips a delicious pale pink mod look to the lips. If you really sheer it out it just leaves a shine behind with very little colour, if that's what you prefer.

090-SWEET TART

This colour makes me think of the deeper pink cherry blossom's and has a very bright and vibrant finish that shows up a lot better then cupcake. Don't get me wrong cupcake works great on days when you want to keep things minimal, but Sweet Tart is a little more jazzy and upbeat. I find you can really build sweet tart's colour. To me lip butters and lip stains are like water colour paint for your lips.

I hope you have all enjoyed reading this review, and maybe discovered a new colour or two that you may want to try.
