Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef, Pop Pink, and Peach Petal

I love Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses and I decided to show you my top three favorites in this blog. There is also a 40% off sale on all Revlon cosmetics and tools this week (7/15/12 - 7/21/12) at RiteAid so I wanted to get this out as soon as possible in case this helps you choose a color! See my other Revlon product reviews and swatches if you need more inspiration :)  Revlon Balm Stains and Revlon Colorstay Whipped creme Foundation

Time for Review and Swatches:

Each tube of lipgloss comes with a doe foot applicator. Also notice the fancy gold hardware on the top of the lipgloss. So elegant and pretty!

Revlon Colorstay Whipped creme foundation REVIEW and Swatch

When it comes to foundation, I prefer mineral or powder rather than liquid. I just don't like that heavy feeling on my skin. On top of that, my skin is combination normal-oily so I would get quite shiny near my tzone by the time half the day has gone by. Seeing that Revlon has come out with a 24 hour, whipped creme foundation, I decided that this might be worth a shot. I waited for a sale and I got it! RiteAid is having a 40% off all Revlon cosmetics and tools this week (7/15- 7/21) so take advantage of it! I also have other Revlon products swatched and reviewed so check them out to help select your Revlon goodies: Kissable Balm Stains and Super Lustrous Lipgloss

On with the review! I got the whipped creme foundation in #250 Medium Beige. I am a NC 30-35 for reference.
 Revlon Colorstay Whipped creme foundation, 23.7ml/0.8 fl oz, $14


 Once you screw off the top plastic black lid, you come to a white plastic cover. Upon lifting the white cover, you see the liquid whipped cream in a glass container. The glass container is fairly heavy.

Wet n Wild Fergie nail polish swatches, REVIEW, and comparison to Whimsical

I spotted the Wet n Wild Fergie nail polishes at Walgreens the other day and picked up three to try. The color range wasn't too special and I didn't think any stood out as 'must haves,' but I am sure glad I picked three very different polishes to try. 
See below for swatches, comparisons, and review!


Wet n Wild Fergie nail polishes, 0.42 fl oz/12.5mL, $3.49

 I found the display at the end of one of the aisles. You really have to go hunt for them. I did not see these at every Walgreens near me, but I think they will be popping up soon in most Walgreens.


The three nail polishes that I chose to purchase were:
Mermaid curves- a ocean blue jelly with different size glitters
Flossy flossy- a clear polish with mainly rose gold glitter and a mix of other tiny glitters
Grammy gold- a pigmented gold shimmer polish





I personally loved Mermaid curves. The color is so cute! The blue was just perfect in glitter and jelly. I also layered it with other nail polishes and it looks great. Each combination looks so unique!
I did the same for Flossy flossy. I have been looking for a rose gold glitter polish and I think I found it. Because it isn't soley big glitters, it makes it less sparse on your nail. Many looks can also be created!



Closer look at the brush!

revlon just bitten kissable balm stain review

A new display sprouted up from my local CVS and in it was the new Revlon Just bitten kissable balm stains. I purchased two of the many shades available.


As you can see, there are new mousse foundations, eyeshadow pens, and mascara on this stand as well. I only purchased the balm stains because they look so cute!


I purchased Honey (001) and Charm (035). 2.7g, $9.99


They look like jumbo pencils; reminds me very much of the Clinique packaging. No sharpening is required since this product has a twist up mechanism. Simply twist up when you need more product. Easy to use, glides well, and not sticky! They have a peppermint scent and the scent stays on your lips for a few moments after application. I wouldn't say this could replace my lip balm, but it definitely feels soft on my lips and does not dry my lips out.
