Revlon Lip Butters in Canada!! Swatches, review & comparison

Hi ladies,

I'm finally back with a very raved about product and they are the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters!!! They have finally arrived in Canada!!! YAY!!

From all the blogs and videos I've seen about these Lip Butters, there are 4 colors I really really wanted to get my hands on. They are: Berry Smoothie, Cherry Tart, Lollipop & Sweet Tart. If you find them, just grab them because they are being sold very quickly. The stands only have about 2 of each color!!!

Berry Smoothie, Cherry Tart, Lollipop & Sweet Tart

They were actually quite hard to find, especially Berry Smoothie!! The prices also vary greatly from store to store!

• At Wal-Mart: $7.97
• At Jean-Coutu: $8.99
• At Pharmaprix: $9.49

Pros:

• Very moisturizing
• Very lightweight
• Very wearable color
• Lots of shades/colors to choose from
• Great products to try new colors that might be too edgy in lipstick form
• Very glossy

Cons:

• Not too long lasting, about 2 hours
• Might be hard to find the shades you want

I will most probably get more shades when they eventually go on sale...

They are very comparable to the Elf Conditoning Lipbalm and the NYX Tinted Lip Spa:

Hope you enjoyed my review!!!

Weekend Haul: Sephora, Forever 21, Jean Coutu & Pharmaprix

Hi Ladies,
here's a haul for you today. These are a few things I got over the weekend.

• Revlon Limited Edition Spring/Summer 2011 Super Lustrous Lip Balm in Peach Crystal ($8.99)
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastelle & Peach Petal (Weekend special $3.99)
• Secret Fashion Mode in Greyflannel (Special $5.99)
• Philosophy vanilla birthday cake (Free birthday gift from Sephora)
• BareMinerals eyelid primer ($23)

First I want to talk about the Revlon LE Spring/Summer 2011 Super Lustrous Lip Balm. I found it at Jean Coutu and it comes in three colors, a pinky color, this peachy color and a blueish green color. I picked the Peach Crystal because I thought this would suit me best. The packaging is very cute and it also comes with a small brush applicator on the lid. I did took off the description/barcode sticker from the lid because it was in the way of the brush.

I still haven't tried to use it with the brush, but the brush is very soft. I thought this lipbalm would give a bit of color on my lips but unfortunately, it is very sheer. It has a sweet and almost candy like smell to it. This lipbalm is surprisingly quite moisturizing. I guess it's prettier to take out this lipbalm than to apply a normal stick lipbalm when your going out. As a plus, it does have SPF 15 in it, so it's perfect for the summer. Here's a swatch of the lipbalm:

Second product from Revlon is the Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastelle & Peach Petal, yes, I know I'm pretty late on this product. 

It's actually a very nice pastelle color on my lips, perfect for the summer!

During the weekend, I did pass by Sephora to get the BareMinerals eyelid primer. Since my Birthday is March 31st, I also picked up my free birthday gift! ^^ YAY

I will do a full review on the BareMinerals eyelid primer along with all other primers I've used. Stay tune for them because let me tell you... I tried A LOT of primer!

Best primer for my oily lids

The tights I got on sale for $5.99 at Jean Coutu. It's a very nice design tights. It's not totally sheer, but just enough to make a nice contrast from skin to black! On the picture it looks almost dark grey, but it's black.

Lastly, I went to Forever 21 and pick up this very nice top. It's a very light green, almost see-through with flower designs on them.

Hope you like this haul.

*Has anyone tried the Revlon LE Spring/Summer 2011 Super Lustrous Lip Balm?*

*What's your take on it? I'd love to know!*

Can't wait for the L'Oreal warehouse sale this Wednesday!!! Who's going???

Revlon Nail Polish in Gray Suede & Touch of Mauve

Hey Everyone,

I purchased these 2 shades of nail polish not long and I'm starting to like it! The first one is in Gray Suede. Although the name color suggest that it's somewhat a grayish color, I would say it's more of a nude color. OK, maybe there's a hint of gray in it... ^^ But in certain lighting, I think there's a hint of pink in it too!

Can you see the slight difference in color?!?! None the less, a very pretty color!

Second color that I bought was in Touch of Mauve. I must say the color is very similar to my L'Oreal Paris nail polish in Sand Castle, but there's slight differences. Touch of Mauve is more of a matte color as for Sand Castle is more shimmery.

Let's first talk about the 2 eyeshadow quads... they were actually on sale at Wal-Mart (-40%). These are my first eyeshadows from Revlon and I absolutely love the colors!!

Now, on to the Sally Hansen beauty tools...

I got the Classic Nail and Toe Clip, and also the Crystal Nail File. They were all at -50% off at Loblaws! ^^ These must be the best clips and file I've ever tried. The clips are so sharp and would not chip and the file makes it so easy to smooth nails. They are AMAZING!!

Lastly, my cute summer dress that I got at Foxy Jeans. Also got this on sale for -50%, I was part of their VIP event and got all regular items at -50% and all sale items at -30%. Too bad I didn't have time that day I went and only got a dress... it's ok, better than nothing! =p

I'm not too good at taking pictures so please bear with me...

One last thing... my mom just came back from Asia and got me some facial masks...
My Beauty Diary on top (from left to right): Sake Yeast Mask, Apple Polyphenol Mask, Black Pearl Mask, Cooling Mask, Natto Rejuvenating Mask and Red Vine Mask!!! ^^
On the bottom, there's a mask from Envie de Neuf, called Platinum Cellwhite Hydromask.

Can't wait to try them all out!!
Hope you like the haul!
