Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Swatches

Hi guys! I was supposed to make this post two months ago about this but I never got a chance to! I got these from about 3 hauls from CVS during the same week. I got them in a BOGO so it's like I got 3 lipsticks and the other 3 for free! So let me start my review!

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks [left to right] in Carnation (025), Mauve (005), Soft Rose (040), Rosy Nude (065), Peach (075), Soft Nude (070)

Mauve (005) - this is a purplish/mauve color that is dark pink it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's darker than Carnation. It tends to look darker and more browner without flash photography.




Carnation (025) - this is a regular pink that really compliment my skin it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's darker than Carnation. I love it!




Soft Rose (040) - it's a muddy rose color it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's similar to rosy nude but is a little lighter. I would not recommend this for lighter skintones, unless you want dark colored lips.



Rosy Nude (065) - its a muddy rosy that is darker than Soft Rose. It's definitely not nude for me. This is my least favorite. I do not recommend this if you don't like dark colored lips.




Soft Nude (070) - this is a nude color, a little darker and pinker than Revlon Nude Attitude. This is an alright nude but definitely not the best for my tan skintone. This would go great with dark eyeshadow.




Peach (075) - I absolutely LOVE this color. This is my favorite from this collection, I'm a sucker for corals and peaches! This color is a nice light orange color! I really really recommend this color for everyone!

Lancôme - Designer Bloom

Hi guys! I was organizing my make-up drawer a few weeks ago and I realized I had this (hence the same time I found my Lancome Pink Organza). I most probably got this from some set a few years ago since my mother buys a lot of of Lancôme products and somehow it ended up in my drawer. I decided to try this one before I threw it out just like the other one :x!!! But I discovered how great it is and still am wondering if this is a dupe of MAC O lipstick.

Just like Pink Organza I found this to be very amazing. The best thing about it is that it's STILL AVAILABLE in stores. When I looked it up on MakeUpAlley I saw that reviewers gave it a Average Rating. of 5.0 out of 5.0 and 100% of the reviewers would buy this product again. I also saw that this color is an award winner. Thank god I didn't discard it!




Here's a swatch of it, The color is a reddish-brown mauve that has a gold shimmer/sheen to it. The finish is Sheen and to me it feels similar to like a MAC Lustre formula. It looks like typical Guerlain lipsticks. It comes out sheer but is very buildable. It seems to compliment my skintone and I'm sure it'll compliment all skintones. And it costs $22 which isn't so bad for a great quality lipstick.


I decided to do some comparisons with this since I would like to find a dupe of it. As you can see it is more red than MAC - Warm Me Up and MAC Viva Glam VI. I'm trying to find an exact dupe, I believe MAC Thrills which is coming out in the To The Beach Collection will have that.

I have a lot of great reviews coming up so keep checking back for more posts! Thanx for reading :)

April Favorites!

Hey all! Here's some products I used a lot, bought, and recommend for this past month April!

1. MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC35
I absolutely love this concealer soo much! I wear it everday to cover up my blemishes and under-eye circles. If there are 3 cosmetics I need to live, this is my number 1!

2. LA Girls Nailpolish in Bittersweet (Forever21 Name)
I wore this for most of the month when the Chanel Illusion D'Or came out and when it did I realized that I already had a dupe of it for a fraction of the price! I bought this in Forever21 during the holiday in 2009 and it looks soo much like Chanel's Illusion D'Or. I got soo many compliment wearing it. I will have a review of it soon. I love LA Girls Nailpolish.

3. L'Oreal H.I.P. Eye Shadow Duo in Wicked 536
I bought this during a CVS haul this past month. It's not very pigmented so I use it for everyday use. It has a golden side and a matte plum side. I will have a review of these coming up.

4. Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer SPF-15
I use this moisturizer for everyday use. I've been using this since I was in 7th grade and I still love it. It gives me a nice glow and wakes me up!

5. MAC Neo Sci Fi Sheertone Shimmer Blush - X-Rocks
I don't use this everyday but I can if I want! I use this to contour my face. I picked it up from CCO in Deer Park, NY. Check out my past review of it.

6. Milani Eye Tech Liquid Liner in Black
I ABSOLUTELY love this liner! I have compared it to my MAC Penultimate Eye Liner and found this more pigmented, cheaper, sanitary, and easier to use. I will have a comparison of them coming up.

7. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Sandalwood Beige 240
I picked this up recently during a CVS haul looking for rosey colors. It's a nice opaque color. I picked it based on a blog review and I love it. I could where this everyday. Read my review below to see swatches of it.

8. EcoTools Bamboo Foundation Brush
I've been looking for a nice inexpensive Foundation Brush and got this after a sale at Rite Aid. It works very well and is very soft! It's a very good buy!

9. Eco Tools 6 Piece Eye Brush Set - Highlight Brush
I love this whole brush set but I chose this one especially because I've been looking for a good blending brush and I found this. It's sup[er soft and very useful. I'll have a longer review of it soon and even an ecotools GIVEAWAY, so keep checking back!

10. Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Extreme Black
I bought this about 2 weeks ago at CVS and I am very please with this. The brush shape is really cool. It didn't work so well with my upper lashes but it was wonderful for my lower lashes. I really recommend it for lower lashes.

Lancôme - Pink Organza

Hi guys! I was organizing my make-up drawer and I realized I had this. My mother buys a lot of of Lancôme products so she got this from one of the sets she bought a few years ago. She never tried this color since she wheres a lot of reds so somehow it ended up in my drawer. Well I was cleaning out my drawer and I decided to try this one before I threw it out :x!!! Thank god I did because I absolutely fell in love with this color!


I'm so glad that I tried this since it became my new favorite but the sad apart about it is that now it's discontinued. Even though this is limited edition I thought I would do a review on it becuas there is so little about it on the internet. When I looked it up on MakeUpAlley I saw that reviewers gave it a Average Rating. of 4.5 out of 5.0 and 90% of the reviewers would buy this product again.



The color is a mixture of a coral mauve /pink brown with gold shimmer in it. It looks like typical Guerlain lipsticks. It comes out sheer but is very buildable. It feels similar to a MAC lustre formula but I fond it better and smoother. It looks very natural to where everyday and it makes my lips pop out.



I decided to do some comparisons with this since it is limited edition and I would like to find a dupe of it. As you can see it is more orange than MAC - Warm Me Up and much lighter and pinker than MAC Viva Glam VI. If someone knows a dupe of it please let me know since I have been buying many drugstore lipsticks to find a rosey color like this.

I have a lot of great reviews coming up so keep checking back for more posts! Thanx for reading :)

Revlon 420 and 240 for 4-20-10

Revlon Blushed (420) and Sandalwood Beige (240)

Hello Everyone! Last Week CVS had a BOGO 50% off sale on Revlon lipsticks so I was intereted in buying two more! The better part about this was that I had a $5.00 off CVS coupon so I got these two lippies for around $6.00! So I bought two lipsticks and here they are. The first one I got is Revlon Blushed (420).

I bought this because I was looking for a rosey shade with gold glitters and a MAC Lustre finish. This was my first time buying a Revlon Pearl Finish lipstick and I didn't realize that it would look so silver/ metallic on my lips. The color looks pretty natural to my normal lip color so I have been wearing it for an everyday use. Since that I have actually started to enjoy this lippie, even though it took me a while since it wasn't what I really expected from the MakeUpAlley Reviews and from my own hand swatch.



The next color is Revlon Sandalwood Beige (240).
This lipstick is in a creme finish and has no shimmer at all. It was under the Nudes section towards the end of the row. I wanted to try this one after I saw one of my fellow Blogger swatch it. I thought it would be a rose color since that's what I was looking for but I was wrong. It's a tanned peach/coral color that is orange based. I really extremely love this color and I was so shocked because I find this color to be very unique and cool! I definitely recommend this color if you are a MAC NC35- more skintone!
I have a lot of post coming up so keep checking back. Thanks for reading :)

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Lip Swatches

Hey, everyone! I've been hauling for the past few weeks sinces there has been some great drugstore sales on make-up. About 2-3 weeks ago, Maybelline cosmetics were on sale in Rite Aid and I wanted to give them a try since I heard good reviews on them. So here's what I bought.

Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks infrom Left to Right: Pink Please(025), Warm Me Up (235), Park Ave Peach (535), and Blushing Brunette (245)

They first color is called Pink Please. It's a very creamy light pink/peach with some red/brown undertones. I heard great things about this online and I am happy that I bought it since it's a bit different than the other ones I got. This is the kind of pink that doesn't wash me out and can be paired with almost any gloss. It has no shimmer in it also. I love it.

The next color I got is called Warm Me Up. I found it funny that it has that name since it reminded me of MAC's Warm Me Up. It's a brown/mauve color with no shimmer in it. I havn't compared it to MAC's Warm Me Up but I think MAC's is a bit more peachy.

The next color I got is called Park Ave. Peach. I absolutley love this color. It's a coral/peach/brown color. Once again this one does not contain any shimmers. If you love corals, then you'll love this one!

The last color I got is called Blushing Brunette. THIS COLOR IS MY FAVORITE! out of all four of them. I could wear this all the time. I've been wearing this a lot lately. It feels like a lustre formula and has a shimmer/shine to it. The color (brown/pink) is a bit darker than my normal lipsticks but I definately recommend this one!

Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks in from Left to Right: Pink Please(025), Warm Me Up (235), Park Ave Peach (535), and Blushing Brunette (245)

MAC Art Supplies Collection Review

So yesterday I purchased Greasepaint sticks and pearlglide eyeliners from the MAC Art Supplies collection which came out yesterday. The collection also had these lipstain markers but I decided to skip those because they didn't seem very useful to have. So here's what I got.


Pearlglide Eyeliners
Industrial LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a periwinkle grey which looks dark blue but has very bright light blue glitters. When flashing with a camera, it seems lighter than the original color. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Undercurrent LE: From the Art Supplies Collection.It's a blue teal will very bright golden glitters, Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Designer Purple LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a bright grape-purple with pink and purple glitters. Very unique and great to have. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Petrol Blue LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a dark navy blue with turquoise/cyan blue sparkles and glitters. I love this, it's very unique from other blue liners. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.

From top to bottom: Designer Purple, Petrol Blue, Industrial, Undercurrent

Sorry for the smudged swatch near Petrol Blue, it was from an eyeliner swatch.

Greasepaint Sticks
Below Ground LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a blackened bronze that seems like a gold base. It's very nice to have for lighter colored Mineralize eyeshadows or for under your eyes.
Dirty LE: From the Art Supplies Collection.It's a blackened taupe with pearl, silver, gold glitters. It looks amazing for creasing a neutral eyeshadow look or for brown eyeshadows.
Slick Black LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a true carbon black with no glitters or shimmer. This is great to pair with Mineralize eyeshadows, especially the ones from the MAC Styleblack collection.

From top to bottom: Slick Black, Below Ground, Dirty

The special thing about these Greasepaint sticks is that they have a sharpener that you can pull off at the end. It's very cute and small, I didn't get to test them out yet but I will test them out soon.

Thanks for reading :)
