May Favourites Video

So I FINALLY got my act together and filmed a YouTube Video. Here's hoping this video gets me back into the swing of things. 

Please excuse the poor quality and bad editing - Im still learning. 

Also, please excuse the weird breathing (haha) I have a sinus infection, so sound like a weird, morbidly obese smoker. 

Either way Enjoy!

Until Next Time

Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain

The packaging is actually a beautiful vibrant pink!

It’s no secret I love a bold lip! It can give a nice finish to ANY makeup look.

  

I recently picked up the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (not to be confused with the plain lipstain) in the color Sweetheart Valentine. Let me tell you - This product is amazing!

The initial color is super pigmented and incredibly easy to apply. The product is crème based rather than many of the ‘texta type’ lip stains that are around at the moment.

Excuse the dodgy pic - but you get the idea! This color is BRIGHT!

The initial boldness doesn’t last the longest of time (about as long as a normal lippie) However, the product leaves a nice color on the lip which lasts a super long time. 

The packaging is great! It is a strong plastic tube and the actual stain is a twist up crayon, which allows for easy application. 

The product retails for around $17.95 however, I picked it up at the ‘Chemist Warehouse’ 50% off sale, so grabbed it for around $9.

I will definitely be trying more colors in this range. I am in love with this product!

Can anyone recommend any other shades I should try?

Until Next Time,

Nail Polish Review - Revlon Top Speed, 'Cloud'

Pinch and a punch for the first of the month – Happy Spring!

For spring I am loving all the pastel colors that are on trend, So when I was shopping and found this beautiful mauve nail polish I knew I had to have it!

Now, call me a princess if you will, but I have only just started doing my nails myself. I have always either had acrylic nails that I would just let them paint, or more recently shellac.

As I have decided to don more of a natural approach I am letting them grow naturally, and so far I’m fairly happy with the result. 

Revlon Top Speed - Color 710 Cloud

I recently picked up this Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish in the color 710 Cloud. I haven’t really used Revlon Nail Polish in the past, so thought I would check it out. It was on sale at Cosmetic Fragrance Direct for only $5

Unfortunately, the polish itself isn’t fantastic. When I tried it in store, I had a nude color on my nails and the mauve looked great! However, when I put it on at home over my base coat it was thin and just odd. 

Ignore the skin :)

It is extremely watery and is so difficult to get a nice even finish.

In the end I applied a nude French pink to my nail and put the mauve over the top (I was determined) The color was much better and gave a thicker appearance.

Finish Product with China Glaze Top Coat on top.

Even though I adore the color, I won’t be using this product in a hurry again. Its so much effort for something that is supposed to be an enjoyable task.  

Has anyone else had the same experience with the Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish?

Until Next Time
