Revlon Colorburst in Nouvelle Teinte

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of making my youtube video.... but here is something I am wearing a lot these days. It is the Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Nouvelle Teinte. It is red with a pink undertone. I think it is a fun color to wear if you are just wearing minimal makeup. I like the way it brings some color to my face without looking overly done.

Until next time,
Stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a good night!

Change is good!

Hello Everyone,

I colored my hair again! I think the light brown cool tone color doesn't suit me very well. I feel more comfortable with a darker warm shade. I went to Walgreens to pick out a darker hair color and it's called light auburn black from L'Oreal Paris. So far, I like the color and I do feel it's more me.

Recently, I have just been talking about new drugstore products, but I also want to show how they look on. Here is a picture of me without any makeup.

Well, hello! I look pale and I do have some redness around my eyes and nose. Gosh, I didn't even know if I should even show this..... anyways, I do walk out the door without makeup when I have to run errands.

To get an even skin tone, I have to apply foundation. My body is a bit darker than my face so I had to pick a foundation that is a few shades darker to have it blend evenly. Also, I do like a little but more color on my foundation, but not too much where you can tell it's the wrong color for me.

Revlon came out with the Photoready airbrush foundation in a aerosol like can. It supposed to give your face an airbrush look. The foundation is a light to medium coverage so it's not going to cover any dark circles. To cover dark circles I prefer to use a concealer. The texture is like a mousse.

It's hard to control how much comes out of the bottle because it's foam. Since I cannot control how much comes out in one squirt, I feel like I have to use all of the products even if I didn't need to because I don't want to waste it.

A picture after I apply just the foundation and blush:

The blush that I used are:
Amazing Cosmetic: Cinnamon (A tiny bit gives you so much color) One of my favorite blushes of all time.

On top of the Amazing blush, I have on Hot Tamale from Maybelline Dream Bouncy.

I do have oil/combination skin so I feel the need to apply a matte pressed powder on top of my foundation. I do this before I put my blush. I use CARGO Blu-Ray in #30

Now for the eyes, I used the new L'Oreal 24Hr Infallible eyeshadows. Just to keep it natural but with some color, I used: 333- Golden Sage on my lid, 890- bronzed taupe for my crease and to blend, and 888- Iced Latte for my brow highlight.

For the eyeliner, you can use any black eyeliner. I just used Almay because that was the only liquid liner I can find at the time.

Here is the overall look:

Lip: Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait.
Happy Lunar New Year!!

Have a great night!

Revlon Lip Butter

Hello Everyone,

I am sure everyone and their momma have heard of these infamous lip butters by Revlon.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter:

Currently they are hard to find in your local drugstores because everyone wants to collect all the colors. But don't worry they are part of the permanent line so if you wait patiently you will eventually get a chance to try them. I remember when I heard about these in October, I rushed to my local CVS and everything was sold out.  Still they are hard to get a hold of, but not as bad as before. I went onto ebay and people were selling these for $10 or more when you can buy them at your local drugstores for $6.99.

There is a total of 20 different colors and I was able to collect 7 of the 20. I still find it expensive for a drugstore lipstick so I waited until they are on sale for 40% off or when there is a deal for buy 1 get the second one for 50% off.

The ones I got are (Left to right):
Candy Apple 035                                                                                         Gumdrop 060

Sweet Tart 090                                                                                            Lollipop 075

                                                             
Sugar Frosting 005                                                                                      Cupcake 055

 

Tutti Frutti 015

The colors are very build-able. It took probably 3 or more swatches to get to those colors above.

PROS: Amazingly soft and moisturizing on the lips, does not feel sticky at all, build-able colors,  comparable to DIOR creme lipsticks, has 20 different colors, decent price (prefer to buy it on sale).

CONS: Does not last very long on the lips, have to re-apply every 2-3 hours, packaging feels a bit cheap, hard to find.

After trying the colors, I would say the two colors that I like the most are Gumdrop and Sugar frosting. No need to collect all the colors because not all the colors look good on everyone and their skin tones.

I am still looking for Creme Bule and Peach Parfait which  are more for everyday wear but they are no where to be found at this time.... =o( Going to wait patiently

Oh, and one more thing. One of my friend introduced me to this great snack 2 months ago and now I am addicted to it.  She knew I love munching on chips and it doesn't matter the time of day. I will eat them when I wake up and before I go to sleep...... yeah I love eating chips. But I know they are not good for your body so she told me to try these snacks called Snapeas and I can't stop eating them. At least they are healthier than those greasy bag of chips I have been eating.

I have tried to eat more of mix fruits and nuts to be healthier but I will tend to go back to munching on my chips. After eating these Snapea Crisps it has reduced my cravings for potato chips. I also saw Elle talk about these in her vlog and was excited because they are really good. Give them a try! They are in the produce section at Safeway!

Have a great night!
