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)

April Haul

Technically I didn't really buy much this month until I went down to visit Ashley in the states, even then it wasn't much but when we came home Steve's mom gave me quite a bit of stuff! O_O I told her not to get me anything, I feel bad because I didn't really get her anything either.. maybe later but not now.

Picked up a pair of the Response workout three quarter tights 
at the Adidas outlet for $29.99 (originally $49.99 O_O)
They had a deal where you can get 2 pairs of the climacool pants for $29.99 but they didn't have any in my size (small) T_T so I got these instead

I bought just two new nail colors and a top coat
for some reason I've been obsessed with medium blue nails lately
The blue and clear Sally Hansen nail polishes were $2.50 each and the NYC one was $1.84
From Target

If you haven't figured it out by now I'm a really frugal shopper but the Sally Hansen nail polishes are such good quality already so I would say they're worth the money. The NYC nail polish on the other hand... 

 The NYC nail polish chips easily BUT it could be that my nail is super messed up because its only chipped on both my thumbs and not any other nails. 
Took a good few layers off T_T

 Ashley gave me the small eye makeup remover which I think is by Lancome?? Not too sure
I also picked up a few Revlon Lustrous Lipsticks for $4.50 - $5.50 as well 
as the Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in 045 Supermodel for $7.49
From Walmart/Target

I also bought a billion bottles of Organix shampoo and conditioner lol
I bought the Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng, Renewing Moroccan Argan oil, Nourishing Coconut milk, Anti-breakage Keratin oil and the Repairing Awapuhi Ginger shampoo and conditioner.

I got a good deal at Target for a massive bottle of the shampoo and conditioner (50% extra) for the same price as a small one! But they didn't have many different types of shampoos oh well. I got them for $5.50+ each, I really wanted the Thick and Full Biotin and Collagen shampoo and conditioner but I could only find the conditioner and not the shampoo T_T maybe next time.

 Steve's mom went nuts and bought me tons of cute socks T_T
My favorite is the bunny one that says "I want carrot" lol
When I was in Korea cute socks were typically $1+
depending on where you got them from but I really needed new socks so yay! Thanks!

 O..O She also got me some stuff from The Face Shop!

 These are small wash off packs, great for traveling
I'm not sure if these are samples or not.. lol but they're a good idea
They look like the little individual butters you get at some restaurants

 She also grabbed me The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam in Peach
and the Herb Day Cleansing Cream Fruit Mix

I'm running low on my current cleanser (by Laneige) so this is good timing! lol

She also got me and Steve a super soft Korean Blanket and mattress cover O.O
THESE ARE SO SOFT AND AWESOME
