For glossy red lips ~ Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Cherries in the Glow

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Cherries in the Glow

Whenever I am at Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle or Health and Glow I always feel so tempted to buy Revlon products. But Revlon prices are too high for what is essentially a drugstore brand. A couple of months back I had an hour to go before boarding and there was this Revlon counter at the airport and no SA. I went crazy swatching everything.  It was so much fun. I loved the eyeshadow quad. Almost all of the quads had very pretty colors. But I held back because of the price ~ Arnd 600-700.

I bought a couple of Super Lustrous lipglosses a year back. Cherries in the glow was one of them and it is really really pretty. This type of muted red color is one of my favorite colors for lip products. This kinda looks like the Nivea Lip balm in strawberry. This color instantly brightens up my face.

Price? Rs 400 approximately

Revlon Cream Eyeshadow In Pink Petal

I have a cute little tin box where I keep all my eyeshadows. I was rummaging through my makeup things today for some inspiration and found this Revlon eyeshadow pallete.I love the idea of an affordable pallete of 4 cream eyeshadows in pretty colors.  When I bought like around 2 years back I was very excited to try cream eyeshadow for the very first time.

I  followed every step meticulously- you know the matt eyeshadow all over the lids, the shimmery golden pink color on top, the dark purple to line and in the outer corner and finally the highlight color under my brows. I finished the rest of my makeup, put on a pretty black top with black leggings and donned my favorite pair of shoes ( Nine West peep toes with blue stripes and red lining..I love it to pieces!!!) I was feeling great about my entire outfit and was totally excited about an evening of fun.

Imagine my dismay when half way through the evening my friend – that too a guy- looks at my eyes weirdly and says what have you put on your eyes? Its looking weird!. I was soo embarrassed. It turns out my eyeshadow had creased very badly and there was a big blob of eyeshadow on my crease. All the 3 eyeshadow colors had migrated to my crease and my eyelid was just looking oily and kinda gross.

Since that day I have never worn these eyeshadows together. I have tried these eyeshadows seperately and it creases every single time!I like the highlight color a lot and you can see that is the only color that has been used from this pallete. All the colors in this pallete are really pretty and very pigmented. But it creases so badly within 2 hours of wearing it.

Light me up ~ Revlon Skinlights Review, Photos, Swatches

MUFE Uplights , Nars Orgasm and Laguna highlighters , MAC Lustre drops  are doing the rounds in international beauty blogs , I thought I will do a post on our very own desi liquid highlighter. I am totally lusting after the Nars Orgasm highlighter btw. Do you know of  any good site to order Nars makeup online?

I so wish we could have access to all the international makeup brands in India. And if Sephora ever opens its doors in India  I will be the first one to shop there! For the time being lets explore the options that we have at present. I came across the Revlon Skinlights illuminators about a year back and fell in love with it the moment I swatched it.

Revlon Skinlights Illuminator

Revlon Skinlights comes in three shades – 01 is the pink shade. It will suit girls with cool undertones. 02 is the peach shade- this is the color that I have and I believe this will be universally flattering across many skin colors. The third one is the bronze color. Its dark brown in color. I seriously couldn’t believe that a drugstore brand can make such a good illuminator. The shimmer particles are very very tiny. This would work well as an overall brightener also. Just mix a tinee tiny drop in your moisturizer and apply. I mostly use this as a highlighter for my cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. And it works amazingly!!
