NYX: Soft Matte Lip Cream

Istanbul

I guess just in time for Valentines day? What are you all doing? We're going to see Robocop LOL so romantic... Finally got around to doing this post, I've been putting it off for a while now but I have the time to do it since its reading break at school! ^__^

Istanbul on

Istanbul is a pale pink, Steve says he can't tell if I'm wearing it or if its my natural color but its noticeable because of the texture. I have no idea why it isn't showing properly on camera >.< ... but I have swatches at the bottom.

San Paulo

Darker color

I'm starting to like more pale colors, I guess maybe because its the "spring trend" going lighter. San Paulo is nice though, trying to avoid reds lately so this dark pinky/light purple is nice and subtle for spring.

Swatches

Top one is San Paulo and the bottom one is Istanbul. What's great about these is they're SUPER affordable!! (at least in North America) and because these have a matte finish they are kiss proof lol not food proof though* Plus! they smell good O_O

Give them a shot! and have a good Valentines day!

Rimmel: Apocolips Lip Lacquer - 400 Big Bang

Big Bang

As soon as I saw the ad for these on Youtube I went out and got these lol. I've been waiting for these for a year, I saw a few youtubers and bloggers from the UK using these and I wanted to try them and I was so close to ordering them on ASOS but I'm glad that I didn't since they came out here :P

Christmas Party Time lol (and boobies lol)

ONE LAYER! So pigmented and surprisingly non-drying (at least for my lips) These are not kiss proof and can surprisingly survive a meal but may need a little bit of a touch up but its not that noticeable O_O and these aren't as glossy/shiny as you would think, they're quite matte.

Would I buy again? Hell yes! These are amazing! I love them, I think I've abandoned the cheap/affordable lipsticks for now and moved on to cheap/affordable lip glosses ^__^

Go pick them up! Go go go!

Revlon: ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick

 #045 Supermodel

I'm starting to become quite the drugstore junkie! Its not a bad thing, I like looking for good products at great prices. I know some girls that think that expensive products are the best products but as most of you readers know that's not always the case.

For some reason I've been really drawn to Revlon lip colors probably because I really liked their Super Lustrous Lipsticks and they're reasonably priced. Personally I don't want to pay more than $15 for a lip product especially if I like the formula and color payoff and I want more colors I don't want to pay $70 for two lip products (unless I was super rich I guess) I will start purchasing other brands soon so don't think I will only buy Revlon products lol.

 This probably isn't the season for mauve lipsticks but I like the color anyways

The lid is a bit hard to take off but if you are throwing it into your purse you won't have to worry about it popping off. When you turn the applicator to use the product out it makes a clicking sound which I find kind of annoying lol, especially if I'm out in public and re-applying I want to put my products on quietly lol, I guess its just a personal preference.

As for the overall look of the product, I like that the lid is clear since you can see what the actual color is (instead of looking at a sticker at the bottom or something) but it does make it look like a cheaper product (even though it is a cheap product already)

Swatch 

The color pay off is alright

I wish it was more pigmented though

 Don't mind my crappy skin at the moment >.<

Left: With the Ultimate Suede Lipstick on

Right: No lipstick or lip product on

I like the subtlety of the lip color but I find this lipstick a little sticky and drying.. it could be just mine but I don't know if I want to go out and buy another one to see if that is sticky too lol. I asked Ashley to try it last time we saw each other, she thought it was sticky too.. so yeah... lol.

Overall I think I will stick with the Super lustrous Lipsticks over this product, so personally I don't think I'll purchase this again. Give it a shot though, I wanna know if you guys think that this is drying and sticky on your lips too!

Revlon: Super Lustrous Lipstick

Finally testing out the DSLR

I think I need a new lens lol

Second Revlon product review! Last time I wrote about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipsticks, if you read my most recent haul post you will remember that I picked some of these up. I've only actually opened one to test it before I bought a whole bunch but I like them a lot. So basically the one I'm reviewing today is #473 Mauvy Night.

 Need a better lens lol

I don't know why I chose this one.. lol I wasn't really into the whole mauve look some girls were sporting on youtube but this shade isn't as dark as some of the shades some girls are wearing. Some sites have photos of this product but the shade of mauve looks so much darker than it really is, so it seems misleading.

I chose this shade of mauve because it isn't so dark

I decided to pick these up since I wanted to try some lipsticks. I used the revlon just kissable lip balms before and liked them a lot but I wanted something less moisturizing lol, I find that the really moisturizing lip colors tend to rub off more easily, but I wanted something more pigmented and more long lasting. Plus this is smaller/compact to carry around. 

I'm not a fan of lip glosses and things with shimmer so this was a good start for me, I think the last time I bought a lipstick was like 4 years ago by urban decay and it had shimmer and smelled weird lol so I never touched a lipstick (or any makeup) since then.

In terms of it being long lasting.. it lasts longer than the just kissable lip balms but don't count on it being super long wearing unless you plan on not eating or drinking lol. So yes it does rub off easily after you take a sip of stuff, leaves a fine layer on cups lol. I find after a while it does feel a little drying so I put on a bit of lip balm on before I apply the lipstick, not too much or it'll look weird. However color pay off is really good and its so smooth to apply.

These are SO AFFORDABLE!!!!!!!! I got them for like $5! So if you like collecting lip colors I would suggest these. I want to purchase a bunch more when I go back to visit Ashley ^__^ I want to pick up a few nude shades as well as some pinks.

 Without lipstick and with
(can you see how blotchy my skin is?)

I think naturally I have pinky lips I think if I want the color to pop even more I'll have to apply something that will make my lips nude. Its not very purple either its quite subtle which I like. When I used the Just Kissable Lip Balms I had a shade in pink (015 Cherish) and it was so subtle it looked like it did nothing for my lips lol, I was like ok this is basically like a lip balm with very little tint lol.

Overall I like these a lot and they're very affordable so get collecting! I definitely will be repurchasing and adding to my small collection!

Sorry for the lack of updates can't write as much as I did before since Steve's mom is here and Steve is finished school now so he's home quite a bit too so I write in bed when he's asleep lol.

On another note, I've surpassed 5000 views on this blog! Hurray!!! I know its not much since its been like almost a year since I started this blog lol, wait till the 1 year mark and I'll do a small giveaway! (I'm poor sorry! LOL)
