Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - Cupcake

So, in addition to my post on the Revlon Peony Lipgloss here, I decided to also post about a Lip Butter I bought on the same day. This cost approx $20 like the lipgloss and bought at Kmart. You can purchase this at any health and beauty store as well as pharmacy.

I found that there was a lot in the range for the lip butters. It comes in so many colours, but I decided to go with Cupcake. This is a really soft pink lipstick and I can safely say, will not suit everyone. When applied it is thick and creamy on your lips. Because of its baby pink colour, it would suit with light blue and purple eye shadows.

Check out the photo I took:

I blurred out my face with the focus on my lips. It's definitely a cute lipstick and for those that usually wear bold colours, I wouldn't recommend this lip butter for you. I like it because it's cute and dainty, and I will usually wear this colour if I am in a fun mood too.

Checkout the Revlon website here if you want to see the Colorburst range.

Looking online I saw this lipstick for approx $12 on eBay but randomly stumbled upon a website ecrater that sells this for $3.29. ECrater is a free online marketplace like eBay and you can grab great bargains. It also appears that it ships around the world too.

Outfit of the Month - May

So I wanted to follow up from this post about my overall outfit I wore to a 21st birthday recently.

I bought my Hello Kitty lipstick with my post about it here and wanted to make it work with a deep blue dress. So here are all the items I bought shown separately:

I bought the dress from Ally Fashion for AU $39.99. I loved it as soon as I saw it! It is a velvet dress with blue glitter dots all over the dress. It's polka dots meets velvet! When I bought the hello kitty lipstick I just knew I wanted to wear it with this dress! So, with that in mind I needed hot pink shoes for the whole outfit to come together.

So here is a picture of the whole outfit - excuse the picture as I cut out my friend and never got a picture taken of myself. Didn't want to include my friend just in case. Also, I may look short because I crouched down to take the picture as I was so tall in those heels:

I accessorized with silver Jewellery. I wore a diamonte choker necklace which I believe cost around $40 from Diva - I bought it a few years ago so I really don't remember. My earrings are from Lovisa and were on sale for $5. I kept my eye make-up simple with just black eye liner and mascara. My foundation was Bourjois Flower perfection blogged here and I used an Avon loose powder. I would let you know how much my clutch was but I can't because it was a gift. I would say you can find clutches for approx. $40. Here is a close up of my make-up and accessories:

So overall, this outfit costs $85 for the shoes, $40 for the dress, $45 for accessories, $40 for the clutch = approx. $210 in total. You can probably do it for less if you get the accessories and clutch on sale.

I received many great compliments on the night and loved the outfit overall! It was great mixing deep blue with hot pink. It worked out so well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Revlon Colorburst Peony Pivoine

So, went shopping for my cats but found that the make-up stand always offer something valuable that catches my eye. This time I found a lot of promotion for Revlon's Colorburst range with Emma Stone front lining the campaign.

I always look into the lipsticks and lipglosses because I love wearing these everyday! I didn't want to go for any bright colours, so I found this Peony lipgloss that was soft pink with a nude tint and gold sparkles through it. The picture up top shows the slight glitter through it but not to worry as I took a pic of my lips for a closer view of what this looks like.

It is very light in shade when glided on your lips. I find that the gold glitter really shines through with this lipgloss. Because the actual shade blends in with your natural lip colour, the gold sparkles make your lips extra shiny. This lip gloss is also non-sticky and I do not get that gluggy feeling. I also feel that it is moisturizing at the same time.

This costs about AU$23 and can be bought from any pharmacy or beauty store. I can't say I found it anywhere cheaper online because it can be found at your regular retailers. Found lots of reviews for it. I would probably going to your chemist/pharmacy outlets to see if they have this for cheap.

lipgloss is great for every day wear or for special occasions. Right now, I am wearing it with just simple make-up of black eye liner. Easy done! I even took pictures! It's simple and sweet!

Until next time...

Exclusif Rose

I received the Rose Exclusif from my freebie grab on this post.

The premise behind the lipgloss is that it reacts with your lips pH level and adapts its colour. From the promotional pic above, it shows the shades that be achieved from this lipgloss.

So, I decided to take pictures on 2 separate occasions to see if I could achieve different results and this is what happened.

2nd May:

As you can see, this lipgloss was a darker shade of pink when I wore it. It was a very bold dark pink. When I initially wore it, I remember that it was lightly glossed with a hint of pink and was shocked when I got home to find how dark it was because it did not suit what I was wearing in the slightest - I was wearing a mustard colour dress. I can't remember what I ate or drank that day as I'm sure if would attribute to the colour.

18th May:

So today, I decided to take a picture first thing when I got up and I haven't eaten yet. As you can see, the colour is quite light, almost clear. I prefer this shade as it can be worn with any sort of outfit. The colour hints subtlety and also gives a natural look.

So, I can honestly say that this lipgloss will give you mixed results. I have read online by other users, that if you mix this with a lipstick or another lipgloss, then you can achieve a colour you want. If you want to wing it and be surprised by the results, I say just wear it and see where it takes you throughout the day :)

The lipgloss is meant to give you a unique colour to match your skin tone. I think it does that but also at the same time changes colour when food and drink are factored in. I wouldn't be surprised if it changed colour based on your mood too! It definitely is made to moisturize your lips so that is definitely a bonus!

For Australian customers, it can be found at Priceline, Target or pharmacies for $22. I managed to find a website that sold it for cheaper - Pharmacy Direct for $15.40.

For UK customers, I found Boots and SuperDrug selling it for £7.69.

For Canadian customers, the Bourjois website says that you can make your purchase at Shoppers Drug Mart for $20.

For US customers, I searched high and low for this! I see that Bourjois is no longer selling in retail stores in the US. Even Amazon did not sell this lipgloss. Asos was a sure thing for US $12.16 until it read out of stock! But, I managed to find Pharmamundi selling it for US$12.95 with free shipping with orders over $25 using coupon NEW2012. I couldn't find any other website that sold this lipgloss. Many sites offer Bourjois in general but not the Rose Exclusif.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Accessorizing is good for the soul

So I thought I would share how much costume Jewellery I have. I think it's important for every girl to have lots of it because it means you are read for any occasion.

Here is the main view:

Some close ups:

I actually have more than that with some items on the floor of that room. Hehe. Some will say that's too many accessories. I say it's not enough. I always buy accessories on sale so the cheaper it is, it means the more I can buy right?

My favorite item that cost me $5 - down from $40 - from Diva is this bracelet:

Total bargain!!

So there you have it, my girly girl collection. Can't wait to buy more!
