October Favorites

I don't know about you but I'm having a hard time believing it's already November eeeek! I actually kinda look forward to the ends of months because that's when I blog about my favorites and read/watch other people's - these are some of my favorite types of posts/videos :) Without further ado, here are my October faves!

Sizi bilmiyorum ama Kasim ayinda oldugumuza inanmakta zorluk cekiyorum ben! Aslinda ay sonlarini abirsizlikla bekliyorum (biraz) cunku ay sonu demek favoriler postu demek, hem yazmayi hemde diger bloggerlarinkilerini okumayi cok seviyorum :) Lafi daha fazla uzatmadan, iste Ekim ayi favorilerim!

  The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore and Lip Butter in Red Velvet are new to my collection. Though it looks a little scary, Adore is an extremely wearable brick red. Red Velvet is a very rich, blue based, deep red which I find to be buildable. Onto some old faithfuls...First I have (yes, another Revlon product!) Carnation which is an opaque, medium, blue-based pink. Sure, it's not a typical lipstick shade for fall but I love it for fall anyway. MAC's pinky-beige Blankety also came out to play in October. It's been my most-reached-for nude lipstick all month. Lastly, I have MAC's Lovelorn which is a medium blue/pink. Due to its lustre finish it's semi-sheer thus making it more wearable.

Yeni oyuncaklarim Revlon Adore ve Red Velvet'a merhaba diyin. Adore paketinde koyu bir renk gibi gorunsede aslinda bildigimiz kiremit rengi. Red Velvet ise mavi alt tonlu koyu kirmizi. Eski favorilerimden ise yine bir Revlon ruju olan mavi alt tonlu pembe olan Carnation'a yeniden kavustum. Aslinda rengine bakilinca akla gelen mevsim yaz olan Carnation'i ben nedense sonbahar mevsimine cok yakistiriyorum. Son iki favorimde MAC'ten, Blankety ve Lovelorn. Lovelorn'un Lustre bitisinde olusunu ve dolayisiyla opak olmayisini seviyorum, gunluk kullanim icin super.

Revlon Adore, MAC Lovelorn, MAC Blankety, Revlon Carnation, Revlon Red Velvet

Fall was definitely on my cheeks in October with NARS Taj Mahal and NARS Lovejoy and theBalm Cabana Boy.

Sonbahar renkleri yanaklarimdan eksik olmadi Ekim ayinda. En cok NARS'in Taj Mahal ve Lovejoy'unu birde theBalm'in Cabana Boy isimli alligini surundum.

I have dug up two of my limited edition Wet n Wild palettes, Golden Goddess and Sugar Plum Fairy. Both palettes are perfect for fall! Of course, I couldn't conclude the eyeshadows part without a Burberry eyeshadow. Good news, I finally got over Pale Barley. I still do love it. I have, since, been obsessing over Midnight Brown. It's one of those rare colors you can wear on its own and it still looks beautiful.

Farlara goz atalim hemen. Wet n Wild'in gecen kis cikardigi ve limited edition olan Golden Goddess ve Sugar Plum Fairy altili paletleri epey kullandim. Tabii ki favorilerimde bir Burberry fari olmadan olmaz! Sonunda Pale Barley etkisinden kurtuldum. Simdide Midnight Brown'suz bir hayat dusunemez oldum. Isiltili koyu kahverengi ve icinde kucucuk rengarenk simleri olan, kendi basina bile sahane bir goz makyaji yaratabilen nadir farlardan biri bence.

Sephora by O.P.I. Traffic Stopper Copper, Nails Inc. Sloane Square, Essie Leading Lady, Orly Rage, Sephora by O.P.I On Stage, Zoya Mata Hari

I have reached for these pretties the most in October, it's pretty self-explanatory although I have to add that Nails Inc. Sloane Square is the easiest to remove nail polish I have ever experienced. I am not sure if this applies to all Nails Inc. glitter polishes as this was my first one.

Ekim ayi favori ojelerimde boyle, fazla soylenecek birsey yok. Ama sunu eklemeliyim ki, Nails Inc. in yukarida gordugunuz Sloane Square neredeyse tamamen simden olusan bu ojesi hayatimda gordugum cikarilmasi en kolay simli oje! Nails Inc.'in butun simli ojelerimi boyle acaba?!

Lastly, I have developed an enormous love for Bath and Body Works' new scent, Cashmere Glow. It has fall written all over it. The notes in this scent are vanilla, peach and musk. I personally don't pick up peach but vanilla and musk are definitely in it. I picked up the travel-sized trio in the cute packaging with gold bow 1. because I couldn't resist the bow and 2. because we're going on vacation next month, perfect! The individual one was free with a Bath and Body Works coupon.

Son favorim ise Bath and Body Works'un yeni kokusu Cashmere Glow. Bath and Body Works notalari: vanilya, seftali ve misk olarak belirtmis. Ben sahsen seftaliyi pek alamadim, daha cok vanilya ve misk gibi geldi. Seyahat boyu ucluyu almamin nedeni ise 1. Kutusu cok tatli, altin fiyonka bayildim, almazsam aklim kalirdi. 2. Onumuzdeki ay tatile gidiyoruz, cok isime yarayacak bu uclu! Ondeki tekli ise Bath and Body Works kuponuyla bedavaya geldi.

July Favorites

Hot Chicago weather just hasn't allowed me to wear makeup as I would have liked in July. True, I don't spend the entire day walking under the sun but even going in and out of air-conditioned places is enough to make me feel uncomfortable wearing much makeup. For the most part I reached for my beloved Garnier BB cream for face (it's so light, airy and perfect for hot and humid weather - which I won't include in this monthly favorites post because I am sure you already had enough of it) and light sweep of bronzer and blush, some no-fuss eye shadows and mascara. However, I did discover some other amazing both makeup non-makeup items in July and they all quickly became favorites...

Chicago sicaklari Temmuz ayinda diledigim gibi makyaj yapmama bir turlu izin vermedi. Evet butun gunu gunesin altinda yuruyerek gecirmiyorum ama klimali ortamlara girip cikmak bile yuzumde fazla makyajla beni rahatsiz etmeye yetti. Temmuz ayi makyaj bakimindan benim icin Garnier BB kremim, azicik bronzlastirici ve allik, kolaylikla surulebilecek farlar ve maskaradan ibaretti. Temmuz ayi icinde hizla favorilerim arasina girmis olan birkac yeni urunde oldu...

Simple Exfoliating Facial Wipes

These wipes are hyped up like they are the best of the best so I had to see for myself. I think they are great wipes! There is an exfoliating side as well as a normal side. They do an amazing job removing makeup but it can be a little difficult for them to completely remove eye makeup, especially waterproof mascara. I love that they have no scent and they leave my skin feeling and looking squeaky clean.

Bu makyaj temizleyici mendiller o kadar cok konusulduki artik denemek zorunda kaldim.  Bir tarafi sanki peeling etkisi yaratan bir yapida, diger tarafi ise normal olan bu mendiller yuz makyajini cikarmakta basarili. Ancak waterproof maskarayi cikarmakta biraz zorlaniyorum bu mendillerle. Kokusuz olusu ve kullanimdan sonra geride yumusacik bir cilt biraksi hosuma gitti.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

I'm not someone who has or enjoys for that matter too many skincare products. But I still somehow find myself looking for new products. Skincare is a whole another obsession in itself, seriously. I have also been an on again off again type of toner (and the like) user. Sometimes I feel like toners do nothing, other times I think they are heaven-sent. While this Caudalie beauty elixir isn't exactly a toner, it does a very similar job as one. I use it right after cleansing my face and before applying moisturizer. My skin does feel smoother since I have began using it earlier this month. I love its tea tree/peppermint scent.

Ne cok cilt bakim urunum var ne de olsun isterim. O kadar kalabaliga ne gerek var, bosuna yer tutuyorlar. Bunu derim, sonrada surekli yeni cilt bakimi urunleri arayisi icinde bulurum kendimi. Bu da zaten kendi basina bir hastalik. Tonik benim icin bir kullanip bir kullanmadigim bir urundur. Bazen gercekten ise yaradigini bazense para kaybi oldugunu dusunurum. Su siralar, bu Caudalie guzellik iksiri her ne kadar tonik olarak satilmasada, tonikle ayni gorevi gordugunu dusunuyorum. Yuzumu temizledikten sonra ve nemlendiricimi surmeden hemen once yuzume fis fis ve cildim daha yumusak! Cay agaci yagi ve nane karisimi kokusunuda cok begendim!

MoroccanOil Treatment

 I had been a long time user of Argan oil but always had MoroccanOil in the back of my head. All the blog posts and vlogs mentioning MoroccanOil products made me want to try it so much more. I go to a hair salon which uses their products. So in my last trip to the salon few weeks ago, I decided to get the sample/travel size to try out. It's a great oil and definitely comparable to the Agadir Argan Oil I had previously used. I can feel my hair much smoother, softer and conditioned already! I don't think one is better than the other though, they're equally good.

Yillardir Argan yagi kullanan ben hep Moroccan yagini denemek istemisimdir. O kadar konusuldu ki istemesemde eninde sonunda deneyecektim bir gun. Birkac hafta once Moroccan yagi urunlerini kullanan kuaforume gittigimde, gun bugundur dedim ve denemelik en kucuk boyunu aldim. Argan yagiyla arasinda pek bir fark goremedim acikcasi. Ikiside cok iyi, saci gercekten yumusatan ve nemlendiren yaglar.

Revlon Photo Ready Perfecting Primer 

I have only used 2 primers in my entire life, Smashbox Photo Finish and NARS Pore-refining primer. Neither one of them proved they were worthy of a repurchase so I continued without a primer for a very long time. You may already know that Revlon Photo Ready Foundation is my absolute favorite foundation and have been pretty much since it came out. Expecting an equally good performance, I decided to give it a go. I can clearly see a difference in my pores when using this primer layered under my foundation. My pores aren't really large but who likes to see even the slightest look of pores no matter what size they are? This primer is definitely a keeper, worth to check out if you're looking for one!

Hic bir zaman fondoten bazi kullanan biri olmadim, hatta hayatimda 2 tane baz denemisimdir biri Smashbox Photo Finish digeri ise NARS Pore-refining. Ikiside benim icin pek birsey yapmadiklari icin tekrar satin almaya degmediklerini dusunmustum. Belki bilenleriniz vardir, ben tam bir Revlon Photo Ready muptelasiyim. Haliyle bir baska Photo Ready urunu olan bu fondoten bazindan beklentilerim oldukca yuksekti. Revlon yine yuzumu kara cikarmadi. Bu baz sayesinde gozeneklerim neredeyse hic gorunmuyor diyebilirim. Aslinda benim gozeneklerim oyle buyukte degil, ama yinede kucuk buyuk ne farkeder, goruntusu hos degil.

Burberry Pale Barley & Urban Decay Darkhorse

For the past few months, I have been seriously amazed by the Naked palette which I have neglected for a very long time. It took me a second to recognize the power and beauty of this palette. Better late than never. Lately my favorite crease shade has been Darkhorse. It looks beautiful with Pale Barley swept all over the lid which has been my favorite lid color since I purchased it few months ago. Don't be surprised if I hit pan on this beaute soon!

Naked paleti herkes hakkinda konusuyor diye alan, aslinda onceleri o kadarda onemli bir palet olmadigini dusunen ben son birkac aydir kendisine iyice dadanmis durumdayim. Son zamanlarda Naked'den favori rengim Darkhorse. Burberry Pale Barley'i tum goz kapagina uyguladiktan sonra Darkhorse'u goz cukurunda kullaniyorum. Sabah ya da aksam icin bana gore gayet uygun iki renk. Bu kombinasyonunun hastasiyim diyebilirim!

Prestige My Blackest Lashes

My curious mind always wondered if My Blackest Lashes could even compare to my HG mascara, L'oreal Voluminous. Well, yes and no. It's definitely volumizing, curling and lengthening but in my case (and I do already have long,black lashes) compared to Voluminous it takes so many more coats to achieve the look I get with using Voluminous. Other than that, it's a good mascara. I have not experienced any flaking or smudging at all. I think it does a great job holding the curl throughout the day.

Hep My Blackest Lashes'i benim en sevdigim maskaram L'oreal Voluminous ile kiyaslamayi hayal edip durmustum. Sonunda dayanamadim, kendi gozlerimle gormek istedim aradaki farki. Kirpikleri uzatmakta, kivirmakta ve hacim vermekte basarili. Sonuclar birbirine oldukca benziyor ancak Voluminous'in yarattigi etkiyi My Blackest Lashes ile yakalayabilmek icin cok daha fazla kat surmek gerekiyor. Onun disinda gayet iyi bir maskara. Kesinlikle akma, bulasma yasamadim.

Essie Topless and Barefoot + A Cut Above

I always love a good nude manicure and for that you just can't go wrong with Essie's Topless and Barefoot. I seriously think it's the queen of all nude nail polishes out there. To jazz it up a little, I use A Cut Above on the accent nail of my choice, sometimes ring or index. I also like to use it just on tips.

Nude manikuru her zaman cok sevmisimdir ve bunun icin Essie'nin Topless & Barefoot renginin ustune baska bir renk olmadigini dusunuyorum. Nude ojelerin kralicesi bence! Ama tabiki sadelikle uzaktan yakindan alakasi olmayan ben bu manikure baska birsey eklemeden yapamam. Bu is icinde yine Essie'nin A Cut Above simli ojesini cok seviyorum. Bazen yuzuk ya da isaret parmagimda kullaniyorum renk katsin diye bazende sirf uclarda. Seviyorum bu ikiliyi!

Finished Products / June

I have finally finished enough products to do a post! I haven't been able to do these posts for the past several months as I was away and didn't have any products with me that I can actually use up. But now that I am back, it's all about finishing products! What you see below aren't the only products I have used up, these are just the more makeup related ones. If you want to see mini-reviews for haircare or body care products let me know and I will include them next time :)

Sonunda bir post hazirlayabilecek kadar urun bitirebildim! Epeydir bitirdigim urunler hakkinda yazamiyordum. Hem aylardir Turkiye'deydim hemde yanimdaki urunlerin hic biri oyle kolay kolay bitirilebilecek seyler degildi. Dondugumden beri bir an once bitsin diye uzerine yogunlastigim urunleri bitirdim sonunda. Tabii ki burada gordugunuzden daha fazla urun bitirdim ama bu post icin daha cok makyaj uzerine olanlari sectim. Eger sampuan, vucut bakimi urunleri vs. hakkinda mini reviewlar gormek istiyorsaniz haberim olsun bir daha ki yazimda onlarida dahil edeyim :)

Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover

If you don't already know, this amazing Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover is my favorite of all time. I mention it every chance I get because I honestly think it's that great. I think this may be my 5th bottle - I lost count :) It gets every bit of eye makeup off, it doesn't leave any oily residue on face and is easily accessible at Target. The only drawback for some may be the price factor as it is $9.99 for the 4.75oz bottle. (You can find Sonia Kashuk coupons on Target's website most of the time) For comparison, Neutrogena eye makeup remover is approximately $5.99 for a 3.8oz bottle.

Eger bilmiyorsaniz hemen soyleyeyim, bu Sonia Kashuk goz makyaj temizleyicisi kesinlikle favorim. Sanirim bitirdigim 5. sise olabilir. Bu urun hakkinda soyleyecek negatif birsey bulamiyorum. Bir goz makyaj temizleyecisinde olmasi gereken hersey mevcut. Makyaji en kucuk zerrisine kadar cikarmakta ustune yok, cok nazik, geride yagli bir tabaka birakmayan ve de Target'tan cok kolayca temin edilebilecek sahane bir urun. 

MAC Fix+

Fix+ gets quite a bit of rave in the beauty world and I respect those of you that swear by it. However it doesn't seem to be working for me. I don't see or feel any kind of difference whether I set my makeup with it or not. On a happier note, I have found that Avene thermal spring water spray does a fantastic job for setting makeup which is what I use these days.

Guzellik dunyasinda epey sevilen Fix+ malesef benim icin pek tatmin edici olmadi. Makyajimi Fix+'la sabitlesemde sabitlemesemde pek bir fark goremiyorum. Ama fark yaratan baska bir urun buldum o da Avene thermal spring water spray, bu spreyle gun sonunda makyajim neredeyse sabah yaptigim gibi!

Revlon Photo Ready

Revlon Photo Ready has been my favorite drugstore foundation pretty much since it came out few years ago. It works wonderfully with my normal skin. It is a medium-full coverage foundation that photographs well in my opinion. I love the smooth, almost air-brushed finish it gives my skin. On my skin it lasts about 8-9 hours.

En sevdigim drugstore fondotenim olan Photo Ready normal cildimle cok iyi uyum sagliyor. Kapaticiligi orta derecede ve fotograflarda cok iyi ciktigini dusunuyorum. Bitisi ne cok mat ne de cok parlak, ikisinin ortasinda. Kaliciligi ise benim cildimde ortalama 8-9 saat.

L'oreal Voluminous

Voluminous has been my favorite mascara for years. I do occasionally feel adventurous and try out mascaras from other brands but always end up coming back to Voluminous. I find it to be lengthening and volumizing. It definitely holds the curl throughout the day without clumping or flaking. What else can I ask for!

Voluminous senelerdir favori maskaram. Arada bir maceraperstligim tutup baska markalarin maskaralarini denemiyor degilim ama her zaman donup dolasip Voluminous'a geri geliyorum. Kesinlikle akma, bulasma sorunu olmayan Voluminous'un kirpikleri uzun ve dolgun gostermekte ustune yok.

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse

This was my first Maybelline foundation. The main reason I wanted to try it out was because of its mousse consistency as I have never tried a foundation of that sort before. My favorite way to apply it is with a Sigma F80 flat kabuki brush which results in a flawless, velvety finish. It does feel a bit heavier on skin whether applied with a brush or fingers, so I don't really recommend it for summer. Because it's a medium-full coverage foundation, most of the time I can just skip the concealer step as it does a good job concealing as well. Another thing I love about it is that I never really have to set it with powder.

Dream Smooth Mousse ilk Maybelline fondotenimdi. Denemek istememdeki ana nedenlerden biri kremsi yapisiydi. Sigma F80 kabuki fircasiyla adeta harikalar yaratiyor diyebilirim. Yapisi biraz agir oldugu icin yaz icin tavsiye etmiyorum. Benim alisik oldugum fondotenlerden daha agir bir yapiya sahip oldugu ve kapaticiligi iyi oldugu icin Dream Smooth Mousse'u kullandigim zamanlarda kapaticiya ihtiyac duymuyorum. 

Things I Heart These Days...

Happy Monday everyone! As promised on yesterday's post here's my cosmetics version of my recent loves!

Bronzer as Blush

I'm really into bronzed cheeks these days. I still love my peaches and pinks on the apples but lately I find myself reaching for the bronzer side of my Elf blush and bronzer duo. I've actually been looking for a blush which will give me this color but haven't been able to find one. So I started using this bronzer in stead and I'm pretty happy with it.

elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

No Eyeliner!

I love black eyeliner and really thought I could not live without it. Well, looks like I can! I feel like sometimes black eyeliner makes me look older than I actually am. I also feel like it looks too over the top on me during the daytime. So these days I am reaching more for my Print eye-shadow and using it to line my upper lash line, I then go ahead and smudge the heck out of it! It creates such a soft and sultry look which can easily be worn during the day.

Bronze cheeks!

Grain on lid, Sable on crease, Print smudged on upper and lower lash-line

Grain

Grain was one of my first MAC eye-shadows. (Print was the first, can never forget!) I've just recently started using it daily. I've rediscovered Grain while I was in Turkey where I mostly opted for neutral colors due to the scorching hot weather. It's in satin finish and it's a shimmery beige color with some gold to it.  I use it all over my lid in almost all of my looks these days as it pairs perfectly with any crease color.

MAC 227 Large Fluff Brush

I am absolutely in love with this brush! I do have quite a bit of lid space and on the days when I am not doing detailed looks, which I normally don't, I use this brush. Applying lid color with 227 is a breeze. Because it's has more and thicker bristles, it's so easy to pick up product and accurately place it on your lid. I also love that it helps building the eyeshadow much easier. I really feel like it was made for my eyelids. I think this is one brush I never want to be without!

 Neutral/Dark Nail Polishes

I am not really one of those people who wears only neutrals in fall/winter however this is all I feel like lately. I think fall and it's gloominess are getting to me! Here are the nail polishes I go back and forth between...

Revlon Gray Suede - Taupe-y beige

O.P.I. Lincoln Park After Midnight - Blackened deep plum with micro-glitter

O.P.I. Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow - Dark, blackened forest green

O.P.I Visions of Sugarplum - Deep purple with iridescent flecks
Sephora by O.P.I. On Stage - Smokey grayish purple

Rimmel Steel Grey - Mauve-y gray

Essie Material Girl - Deep burgundy

Essie Playa Del Platinum - Pale cement

What are your favorite make-up/beauty related things to do lately?

Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eyeshadow

Hey everyone!

Unfortunately, today I have a negative product review from a company that I usually love! Revlon makes my current HG foundation; PhotoReady, one of my favorite nude lipsticks; Soft Nude and many other products I enjoy using. Of course this doesn't mean everything they make is perfect and will exceed anyone's expectations. Regardless I bought this quad, I admit on a whim, expecting it to deliver because I've never been let down by a single Revlon product! Until now. Actually I don't know if I should blame Revlon for this disappointing product OR Target for not putting out testers. Or is it Revlon's fault again? Are companies the ones who decide whether to have testers at retailers?

I will first judge this lovely (on the out look) quad in terms of packaging. Packaging is pretty nice for a drugstore brand, it's square with a hard and clear lid. There is definitely something about this quad that stood out in the jam-packed beauty aisles of Target. The lid has 'Beyond Natural, Cream to Powder Eye Shadow' written on it. Cream to powder sounded pretty exciting to me, since I haven't used anything like this before. I usually stick to my MAC eye shadows. There are a total of 4 quads in the Beyond Natural collection. Initially I went for the plummy one as I love plums, purples, lilacs when it comes to eye shadows. Then I saw 'Peach' and anything that has peach or coral written on it must be mine! I ended up bringing both of them home. Everything cool until here.

Then I opened the Peach one to see what it was all about and started swatching. First of all, let me clarify one thing. These are not cream to powder AT ALL. I may have never used cream to powder eye shadows before, but I know what cream and powder mean! These are just typical cream eye shadows. They do not change their form or dry completely. Believe me. I was really bummed. Colors do look pretty swatched but once applied on eyelids, except for the brown one, they do not even show up.They sort of look a bit metallic-y in the pan and when swatched there is tiny bits of glitter. These quads may be ideal for a person who likes wearing make-up but doesn't want to look like they are. Or not. I wouldn't even recommend this to a person who uses minimal make-up. I wouldn't want anyone pointing fingers at me and blaming me for major creasing 5 minutes after they apply this. 

Needless to say I disappointingly returned the plum quad. So what will I do with this one? Well, I will most likely use it as an eye shadow base as that seems to work, a bit. I have tried to see the multi usage abilities of these eye shadows. I thought maybe the second color from left (in the swatches) could be used as a base on lips, but it's way too drying and therefore flaking. The lighter color looked like it may be used as highlight but no way. I'm sure someone in this world loves this quad and can make it work. For me, it was a waste of money. Then again, you don't know whether it'll work for you unless you try it! Sorry Revlon, I love and use many of your products, but this product in question needs a major make-over!

Favorite Drugstore Lip Products

Hey girls!!!

I personally haven't been "collecting" drugstore products for a long time. However, lately I am getting more and more cosmetics from the drugstore. So far, whatever I have purchased (at least in terms of lip products) turned out to be great, both color and quality wise! As we all know, most of the time it's impossible to swatch lip products let alone see the color, unless of course it's a lip-gloss since they're in clear containers. So sometimes it is difficult to find what you like! I have just been lucky with everything I got and love each and every one of them! So here they are!

Revlon Super Lustrous Ligloss - Coral Reef 

Gorgeous coral color, very pigmented, goes on smooth, non-sticky (Does look darker than it actually is in the pictures, if you have a chance definitely check it out in stores!)

NYX Megashine Lipgloss - La La  

Subtle peachy bubblegum pink, non-sticky, smooth, bit shimmery, smells like cherry cough syrup (lol), looks great on top of a nude colored lipstick.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - 220 Pink Chic

Cool blue pink, glides on smooth, subtle sheen, fine silver shimmer to it, moisturizing formula, rose-y scent

 

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick - 025 Pink Please

Mid-tone milky/baby pink, creamy, smooth, pigmented

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - 006 Pink Blush 

Bubblegum pink, smooth formula, glides on, shimmery, non-drying, 

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick -  070 Soft Nude 

Perfect nude color, creamy and smooth formula, will not wash you out AT ALL

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick - 025 Carnation

Fuschia/pink, Smooth, has a sheen to it, sheer but can be built up to a vibrant color

What are YOUR favorite lip products from the drugstore?? Do share! <3

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick - Soft Nude

Hey girls!

Here is a lipstick I accidentally found and totally fell in love with and I wanted to share it with you all! I actually had no intentions of buying this lipstick until I stumbled upon an advertisement of it in one of my weekly gossip magazines, and there was a coupon for it too! I googled some swatches, and decided to give it a go. Like all of us, I have a good number of nude lipsticks already but honestly no other color in the Revlon Colorburst collection really attracted me and the coupon was just too good to not use! That's why I picked up Soft Nude and I'm so happy with it!

I think the packaging is so sleek and feminine! Definitely nothing like that of Revlon Matte lipsticks, like Nude Attitude, which I thought was so boring. I absolutely love the quilted design, reminds me of a Chanel purse!

I busted out some of my nude lippies, that I know many people have, to compare them to Soft Nude...I don't have any dupes for this color, yay!

I also really love the formula. It's very creamy and doesn't dry lips at all. In other words the Soft Nude's formula is nothing like Myth or Nude Attitude's.What I don't really like about this lipstick is the smell, it smells like a crayon to me, seriously. However I think I can get over it because I really love this color and I will repurchase it for sure!

 Revlon Colorburst lipsticks retail for $7.99 at CVS, but I got mine for $4.99 with a coupon he he

Product Rave: Revlon Photo Ready Makeup

Hey girls!

It's love at first sight....well, let's say first use! I would have never thought Revlon would one day beat all the other high-end foundations, but it did and it did big time! I absolutely love this foundation even though I have only used it once. I took pictures of myself in different lighting and my skin looks picture perfect no matter how the lighting is. I got it in Medium Beige and it's perfect for my skin. My skin looks so velvety and soft, almost air-brushed in pictures and even in the mirror. I will give it a full week to really see how it will hold up compared to my MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I like my MAC foundation, it gives pretty good coverage, the shade works very well with my skin color BUT my problem with it is that it makes my pores look even bigger after I apply it on my skin. I am noticing with Revlon PR, I seriously cannot see my pores. It's not a pretty sight to see huge pores in pictures, as we all know. I just hope that I will be thinking the same until next Sunday. I applied this to my face pretty late on Saturday evening so naturally I have no clue how it will wear throughout the day. But for now, I love it!
