revlon super lustrous lipstick - vava voilet ♥

hey loves,

surprise surprise, another lipstick is it really that much of a shock? this is a bit of a random lipstick to be reviewing this time of year but we are going to roll with it aren't we? revlon are my true love when it comes to lipsticks, there affordable, easy to get and have different finishes and a fast arrange of shades. and lets face it the packaging is to die for right? black and gold for the win!

the formula for this is a creme which means it has no shimmer or anything in which is fab for me, matte and cream finishes are for me and have been for ages now. Because of the shade and how deep it is this does stain (no kidding it took me 3days with lots of soap and scrubbing to get this of my hand fully) so the staying power is awesome when its gone it just looks like ive drank alot of grapejuice. I personally really like revlon as a brand on the whole but there lipsticks are something i couldnt quit the rest i could but the lipsticks! its just love. 

Revlon colorstay foundation - 180 sand beige ♥

hello loves, 

this is one of the foundations that i like then i dont like and then i love. revlon colorstay is a cult favourite in the blogging/youtube/beauty world, and for a while i was put off because of all the hype. its a glass bottle which i love, no pump but i can deal with that the lid breaks if you screw it on to tight so all round not fabulous packaging but it can be sorted with easy hands or buying a pump from mac or using one from a old foundation. 

there are 2 kinds of formula to this foundation a combo to oily & normal to dry, i got the combo to oily since im combo really there should have been a combo to normal and combo to dry aswell but hey we cant have everything. This is quite liquidy and not as thick as i assumed it would be it is medium coverage and can be built up to high if needed personally i dont do that i dont need to but if you do then that is a option, it does last along time without primers and setting powders/sprays with is fab i havent tried the claims of 24hours but ive wore it for 9/10 hours and it wore beautifully, the shade 180 sand beige is a perfect match for me where buff was a little to pale,  it does look flawless with a brush, sponge and fingers & over all im happy with it but as a i said i do go through phases and sometimes i can put it on and think i dont look right it all depends on how my skin is that day. as i said ive got more combo to normal skin so i like a little more dew than this gives and sometimes this is just perfect. 

Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick - primrose ♥

Hey loves,

Today im going to be reviewing this very pretty lipstick from revlon - while im in my sick bed - the packaging is beautiful, and honestly it would have fitted right in on my nannas dressing table it just gives of that vintage look, revlon keeping it old school! Revlon has been under alot of heat lately due to a racist comment made by the CEO and as much as i dont agree with what he said there are other people behind the brand that make this product worth having no make up company is a one man show so im continuing to buy revlon for the thousands of other people behind the name, and if it was just him i might change my mind but at the moment im still in love with them. 

The finish and texture of this lipstick is creme which for me is perfect, i love my mattes and cream lipsticks as you all shell know by now no glitter just a pretty sheen. the colour is coming of alot more pink than it is, it is actually a more nudey pink which goes perfectly with my pale self, this lipstick can last along time on me which is fabulous ive been known to wear it to work and leave it for hours before touching up. 

what revlon lipsticks do you enjoy?

revlon super lustrous lipstick - gentlemen prefer pink ♥

The background i prefer is back, plain and white, i love it! the reason i actually stopped using it is because the thing i was using got so much make up all other it that i retired it! and now i picked up a fresh clean card! but what do you prefer the plan or the lips?

now back to the review - a lipstick - of course - once upon atime i was asked what my favourite brand of lipsticks are and i said mua straight away but one lipstick from Revlon and there was no turning back, the formula is creamy, rich, moisturising, comfortable to wear  and everything the price tag promises. The packaging is classy and honestly i like it, it looks kind of vintage and would have looked perfectly at home on my Nana's dressing table. 

The finish of this particular lipstick is pearl, which adds a gentle sheen to the lips without the ott shimmer which can either make or break a lipstick (in my experience it breaks alot of them). The colour is a beautiful mid tone pink and is one i reached for alot on summer!
