Move Over Revlon Lip butters

There's been so much hype over Revlon Lip Butters that the other releases from this brand have been left unnoticed. In the past month, this brand has released a vast amount of new products. Don't get me wrong, I loved the lip butters, I raved about them awhile ago, but these other products definitely deserve a mention too.

I don't usually lean towards lipglosses on a regular basis but these two have made their way into my handbag. They are two new shades from Revlon's Colorburst that I can see being popular. Bellini is a gorgeous peach shade which will be perfect over the Summer, while  Crystal Water is a clear gloss with purple, blue and pink shimmer.  Both shades are very wearable, Crystal Water looks great over lipsticks or on it's own. For those of you who don't like shimmer it's barely noticeable on the lips unless you look really close. I've been using both lipgloss continuously since I bought them. They are certainly long lasting on the lips without being ridiculously sticky. Did I forget to mention these lipgloss smell amazing? they have such a yummy sweet scent. I want to pick up some more of these soon, but I'm spoiled for choice as there are so many gorgeous shades to choose from.

Another new release Revlon product is the Photoready Perfecting Primer. I'm all about the primers, there a essential for me as my makeup always slides off my face halfway through the day. I guess it's just one of the joys of having oily skin ( I joke). This particular one was quite expensive at €18, I got mine on offer for about €12 in McCabes pharmacy. It has to be said I've been loving this primer, one pump covers my whole face leaving it feeling so smooth. I wouldn't say it works miracles and makes my pores disappear, but they certainly look less noticeable after applying. Unlike some so called matte primers, this actually delivers, it leaves a nice base for makeup application. Both of Revlon's new primers (one available here) are said to contain non of the following: talc, oil, paraben and fragrance. I do get a scent of this but I can't put my finger on what it smells like. As drugstore primers go, this in my opinion is one of the best I've tried.

What's your favourite Revlon product? Will you be trying any of the new additions to the brand?

Mini Make Up Haul

I just went shopping today so I just thought I'd mention some of the products I purchased, cause some of the products I have used before and some I haven't so maybe I'll do a review in a few days when I've tried out the products.

So, on to the haul, the first product I picked up was Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in 004 Pink Ice. I am real fan of light pink glosses in general and I've never tried Revlons'.I thought I'd give their new offering a try as it is one of there new range of lipglosses and I liked the packaging as the lid looks like patent leather and looks different to any brand I've seen before. The lipgloss is described as a weightless gloss makes lips pop with 5times more shine than patent leather hence the packaging. I shall definitely do a review on this product just to let you know how I found it.


The next product I picked up was the new No7 Extreme Length Sensitive Mascara.I've always been a big fan of N07 products I live by there Essential Moisture Night Cream as I always feel like my face is so refreshed and hydrated the next morning and I've used various mascaras and
lipglosses(which are always really good).

Back to the product, this mascara is a sensitive version of a Extreme Length, which have been made for people with sensitive eyes and is recommended for contact lens user. The mascara is enriched with Almond and Jojoba oils and helps prevent irritation. I thought I'd try this out as my eyes do tend to water sometimes even due to weather and because i highly rate No7 products and I always like to give their new products a go.


At this time in Boots also when you buy No7 Extreme Length Sensitive Mascara you get a So Simple Eye Duo free. The eyeshadows are two neutral colours beige and cream come in a silver compact which is super cute and is small so is perfect for your handbag.



And last but not least I bought a Gosh Cosmetics Giant Sun Powder in shade 001 which I've bought before I love to use it on my cheeks for contouring as it's just the right shade. I always go back to cause its a really good size bronzer and lasts for so long.

So I hope you found something in this mini haul that you might try out.
