Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter – Cupcake

20120527-152312.jpg

So, in addition to my post on the Revlon Peony Lipgloss here, I decided to also post about a Lip Butter I bought on the same day. This cost approx $20 like the lipgloss and bought at Kmart. You can purchase this at any health and beauty store as well as pharmacy.

I found that there was a lot in the range for the lip butters. It comes in so many colours, but I decided to go with Cupcake. This is a really soft pink lipstick and I can safely say, will not suit everyone. When applied it is thick and creamy on your lips. Because of its baby pink colour, it would suit with light blue and purple eye shadows.

Check out the photo I took:

I blurred out my face with the focus on my lips. It’s definitely a cute lipstick and for those that usually wear bold colours, I wouldn’t recommend this lip butter for you. I like it because it’s cute and dainty, and I will usually wear this colour if I am in a fun mood too.

Checkout the Revlon website here if you want to see the Colorburst range.

Looking online I saw this lipstick for approx $12 on eBay but randomly stumbled upon a website ecrater that sells this for $3.29. ECrater is a free online marketplace like eBay and you can grab great bargains. It also appears that it ships around the world too.

Hello Kitty Shine and Kiss – Pink Floyd

20120506-185928.jpg

So, I bought this lipstick because it was a bright hot pink and would look good with some bold make-up. I also bought it because it was Hello Kitty brand. Upon wearing it I found it to be very moisturizing on the lips and did not crack when wearing it.

It holds it’s color and texture and every time you butt your lips, it maintains it’s moisturizing feel.

Here is a pic I took in the bathroom. The lighting is warm and it didn’t show the full brightness of the lipstick I found.

I used Instagram to blur everything out but my lips – this is because I have bad skin at the moment. You can see in this pic that the colour isn’t as bold as it appears. It almost looks like a sweet light pink lipstick but it is far from it. I, then proceeded to my bedroom that had brighter lighting.

Can you see the difference? This brighter lighting is the true colour of this lipstick. It has a slight purple tinge to the hot pink colouring. I am going to wear this lipstick to a birthday party this weekend and keep the eyes simple because the lipstick is the main display. I feel that if I overdo the eyes, then it will make my whole face look over the top and we wouldn’t want that now do we?

I bought this from Priceline for $12.95. I haven’t seen this in any other retail stores at this stage. I am having difficulty finding this sold worldwide. I know that MAC came out with their Hello Kitty range which may be discontinued as Sephora have the collection now. You can still buy Hello Kitty MAC products on EBay as far as I can tell. There is no confirmation online that MAC is still producing the make-up.

I can’t wait to show you my outfit this weekend and display my make-up for you. I do really love this lipstick and it’s great to wear with candy colored outfits also :D Good for an 80s outfit also ;)

Will keep you updated…

P.S Excuse my huge nostrils – Thank goodness there was nothing up there

Freebies from Priceline

So, out shopping today for birthday presents but if you don’t know me very well, then you’ll find I do present shopping for myself at the same time :)

So I head into Priceline – for any international readers, it’s a Girly store that sells make up, perfume, toiletries, gifts, toothpaste, vitamins etc – and instantly I want to buy all the perfumes because they are all on sale! I tell myself NO! you are out buying presents… So I stop myself. This is extremely hard because I love perfume. I move on because I have to actually buy things that I need.

Head to the make-up counters and see Bourjois is offering a free gift if you spend $19. From what I could tell, the lowest priced item is $20 – to me this is instant winning!! I buy foundation because it’s something I wear everyday for work.

I purchase the flower perfection youth extension foundation as it seems to be the feature item on the wall. It comes with a washable sponge – awesome! It cost me $34. I was excited about the free gift because it came in this box:

When I opened it up it was wrapped in tissue paper. You know it’s good when it’s in tissue paper! So I received a rose exclusif lipgloss and volume glamour ultra curl mascara – worth approx $42. Coincidentally I receive a sample of the foundation i just bought. I’ve gotta say that the lipgloss is amazing! It’s a transparent gloss that self adjusts its pink colour when applied :) It also has a sweet scent kind of like candy rather than rose (but this could be my nose playing tricks one me)

This is what the products looked like:

Moving on from this counter, I randomly stumble upon a Hello Kitty counter! Say what now? A Hello Kitty counter!!

20120428-195916.jpg

So, they were offering a free body spray with any purchase – score!! I look thoroughly at each product. I felt that I already have too many eyeliners, eyeshadows and nail polish and don’t need powder or foundation, so I go for the lipgloss and lipsticks because I feel you can never have too many of those :D I buy a shimmery bright pink lipgloss and this amazingly outstanding pinky purple lipstick.

I believe the bright pinks are making a comeback. I used to wear pink lipstick all the time when I was about 8 years old and I thought I was the coolest but now since I know how to experiment with colours and not look like a nincompoop, it’s something I am excited at testing out. By making this purchase I received a melon body mist which smells amazingly fruity and fabulous. I think the products I bought are great to wear out for a Girly night and keeping it flirty and fun or if you just want to brighten up an outfit through your make-up. I’m all about the pinks in general.

If you don’t know me, then you’ll soon find out that I love Hello Kitty! It’s also because I’m Asian :)

If you’re out and about, be sure to look at the specials. Don’t be afraid to ask which items are on sale and see if you receive free gifts. I feel that if you love a brand or product and they offer free gifts, then you win because you gain products you wouldn’t have thought to try before and sort of save money at the same time as you have more products for one original price – well that’s how i see it anyway ;)

So girls head out to Priceline if you want to score some freebies with your purchases. Priceline never disappoints!!
