Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

Hi Ladies! Revlon has served up another win with their amazing line of Colorburst Lip Butters! I am in love with them! Virtually every beauty blog has mentioned these as they take the beauty world by storm.

These lip butters are offered in a wide range of colors (20 shades), which is dangerous for makeup addicts such as myself. I originally purchased only two because I wanted to see if they lived up to the hype. They were so amazing that I went back and bought three more!

The formula of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters is fantastic. Made with ingredients such as mango, shea, and coconut butter, it is ultra-moisturizing. The Lip Butters go on very smooth, like a lip balm, and have the color payoff of a lipstick. They remind me of Dior Addict Lipsticks and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks. The Lip Butters have a very slight vanilla scent and no noticeable taste. Below I have applied the colors to my lips so you can see how they look on:

Creamsicle (pale peachy pink)

Cupcake (sheer cool pink)

Sweet Tart (bright candy pink)

Candy Apple (bright warm red)

Red Velvet ( deep red)

Some colors are sheerer than others, but they are all somewhat buildable if you desire more color payoff. I particularly like Red Velvet for a special occasion lip color, and Cupcake for an everyday color. They have average wear and I find myself re-applying every couple hours.

If you have not yet tried any of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters, you are missing out! They should be available in most drugstores by January 2012.

Glitz and Glam: Fabulous Holiday Nails

Hi Ladies! Do you have a holiday party to attend and want to kick it up a notch? Try this glamorous party look that I came up with. I used Gold Coin by Revlon as my base color. It is a beautiful, soft white-gold metallic shade. Gold Coin is fairly opaque so I only used one coat. This polish was easy to work with and dried pretty fast.

After waiting a couple minutes, I topped it with Sephora by OPI's Only Gold For Me. This polish is absolutely gorgeous. It is a clear polish with chunky and micro golden glitter flecks.

Only Gold For Me is also super pretty on its own for a more understated look. I absolutely love this combination for any holiday event. It is super glitzy and gives a jeweled effect to your nails.

So slip on a cocktail dress, rock some bold red lips, and have a fabulous night! What are your favorite holiday nail polishes? -xoxo, Stacy

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

I discovered these glosses a couple months ago on a trip to my local CVS. I typically do not purchase drugstore makeup, mostly because I can't try it out first like at a department store. Out of the few times that I have picked up something on a whim, I have been unimpressed with the product. Not the case with Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses. I have to give Revlon major props for stepping up their game. These glosses are amazing! They are non-sticky, moisturizing, pigmented, have no offensive smell/taste, and come in a variety of pretty shades. The packaging is also really nice. The tubes are very chic, no cheap looking like other drugstore varieties. They closely resemble the Chanel Glossimer packaging with the square tube shape, and black glossy twist off cap, and gold detail.
The shades that I picked up are: Coral Reef, Pink Pop, and Lilac Pastelle. These three shades have a cream finish and are comparable to the Mac Creamsheen Glosses. They vary in price from store to store but I believe I paid around $8 per gloss at CVS. All three shades are beautiful. (swatches below)

These glosses are pigmented enough to wear on their own but also look lovely paired with a corresponding lipstick. You could also tone down your lips with a nude lipstick and layer one of the glosses over it if you really want true color payoff.

Below are pictures of the lip glosses applied on my lips:

Coral Reef is a bright true coral color

Pink Pop is a bright fuchsia pink color
Lilac Pastelle is a wearable light lavender color

Lilac Pastelle is the most unique color and my favorite of the three. It is very wearable and looks great layered over a light pink lipstick. I will definitely be repurchasing these glosses! Go check them out, you can thank me later ;)
