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!

Sharing my HOT inNiu heels

I haven't been out in awhile so when I got invited to my friends 21st birthday, I wanted to look decent and flashy. I wanted to wear my hello kitty lipstick from my post here and have heels to match.

I went to my local Harbour town - for those not from Australia, it is a shopping place filled with discount outlets - and I walked around for a few hours in search for some Hot Pink heels.

I went into Shoe Show and found these amazing heels:

For some reason these heels are not featured on the website, but they do also come in black. They cost me AU$85 but I felt this was worth it because of how pretty they looked. All Hot Pink and sparkly!! They are made by a brand called inNiu but what's bad right now is that their website is under construction so we can't view what else they offer.

These heels did hurt my feet but I haven't worn heels like this, in god knows how long. The pain was tolerable when I was dancing because fun always erases the pain.

I think it's good to splurge on yourself from time to time. I hope to wear these again on a girly night out with my home girls. I am actually thinking about getting the black pair also because they look amazing! Plus black goes with everything :)

I wore these heels with a dark blue dress but won't get the full body pics until later on. Once I get those pics, I will do a separate post and share my entire outfit with you, including make-up :D

Thanks for stopping by!

Handy Nail Polish Remover Tip

I find that when ever I use cotton pads and nail polish remover, that the remover will dry up fast on the cotton pad. I will also generally rub the cotton pad hard on my nails to try and get the coats off but this damages my nails and rips them to shreds therefore ruining the condition of my nails. I will actually see my nails shredding at hanging off the main part of the nail which is totally not good at all!

What I have discovered - by randomly stumbling upon it- was to use make up remover towelettes with the nail polish remover.

I found that this was a faster and healthier way to remove nail polish from my finger tips. Not only does the towelette hold the nail polish remover liquid but when I rubbed hard, the nail polish came right off in about 5 strokes. I noticed that this did not damage my nails at all.

I haven't actually researched to see if other people have done this. The only reason why I discovered it was because I was literally too lazy to walk to the bathroom and get a cotton pad, so I used the towelette because I had it in my room.

I am in no way a professional to say that this is a healthier option for nails. I just found it worked much better and faster whilst you use less nail polish remover because the make up towelette holds the liquid for longer. I found it didn't damage my nails at all and will continue to use this method to remove nail polish.

Try it out and let me know what you think. I thought it was a handy tip and wanted to share it with everyone as I'm sure for some people out there, you wouldn't have thought to try it. :D

It will change your beauty life!
