Swatches and Review: Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters in Sugar Plum and Cherry Tart


I finally caved.  Yes, I bought two of the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters.  I couldn't help it - I've read so many good things about them, it was only time until I snagged one (or two): Cherry Tart and Sugar Plum.


Packaging is similar to the regular ColorBurst line of lipsticks, only the case is semi-clear - kind of like a faceted gemstone.  I think they are really pretty, personally. 


Cherry Tart is a sheer red that can easily become more intense with further application.  Because this is a butter, you don't get a true opaque coverage, ultimately allowing your tones to mold the color.  Truly, this is the neutral girl's red.  Easy to wear, and it feels great too!

Sugar Plum is, as the name suggests, a warmer plum/purple shade.  On my skin swatch below, it almost looks brown, but when applied to the lips it is a beautiful plum to berry shade. 


On the lips below, you can see there is excellent pigmentation to these.  This is two applications, so obviously it's a bit more intense than just one. 



It's official, I love these.  I love the texture - it truly feels like butter, as the name suggests. It melts into my lips, but actually lasts a while once applied.  The color selection is really nice, too.  There are those that are lighter and less pigmented (Cotton Candy and Cupcake, for instance) and those that knock it out of the park...i.e. Cherry Tart.  I will definitely be looking to get a few more of these when the time is right.  These make the perfect addition to your purse or desk drawer in the winter time, when I'm always reaching for my lip balm, but longing for a little bit more... like color!

Retail is $7.99-$8.99, depending on where you shop. 


Did you get any of these?  What is your favorite color?

FOTD: Milani Runway Wet/Dry Eyeshadow "Silver Charm" and Revlon Diamond Lust Eyeshadow "Night Sky"


I'm getting into the holiday spirit, so I've started to try out a few dramatic and sparkly looks for all the upcoming holiday parties and festivities.  Today is a mix of some drugstore brands: Milani and Revlon. 


The picture doesn't capture the sparkle from the Revlon shadow, but use your imagination...a little more bling!

Here's what I used:

Face:
Laura Geller Champagne Spackle
Laura Geller Real Deal Concealer "Light"
Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten "Fair"
Maybelline Blush "Pressworthy Pink"

Eyes
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Milani Runway Eyes "Silver Charm" - inner corner
Revlon Diamond Lust "Night Sky" - outer corner, crease
Milani Runway Eyes "Lily White" - highlight
Milani Liquif'eye eyeliner "Black"
L'oreal Voluminous False Fibers Mascara

Lips:
Too Faced Lipstick "Celebrity Meltdown"

A pretty easy look with a lot of impact.  Switch up the silver for gold and you have another easy look.

EOTD using Avon's Draw the Line set in Sapphire Blue


A few days ago I posted some swatches of the Avon Draw the Line set of mini eyeliner pencils and I wanted to do an EOTD with the Sapphire Blue.  Like I mentioned in the original post, this is a matte liner, so I was intrigued with how it would look on. 


The pencil applied nicely - very smooth and creamy.  Like I said in the earlier post on it, this is a bit of a sheer shade, so I had to apply it a couple of times to get the intensity seen in the pictures above.  The wear was well - I didn't experience any smudging or color loss over the day. 

To get the look:
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Revlon Edgy Elegance Eyeshadow in Girly - inner corner
Revlon Edgy Elegance Eyeshadow in Fierce - middle of lid into outer corner
Revlon Edgy Elegance Eyeshadow in Downtown - outer corner/crease
MAC Eyeshadow Phloof - highlight
Avon Draw the Line Mini Eyeliner Sapphire Blue - lower lashline
Tarte emphasEYES Clay Eyeliner in Black
L'oreal Voluminous False Fiber Mascara - Black

NOTD: Revlon Top Speed Nail Enamel "Glitz & Glam"


From Revlon's Spice it Up Collection, I picked up the nail polish called Glitz and Glam.  This is a cranberry jelly base with silver glitter.  It reminds me of one of last year's holiday colors by China Glaze - Mrs. Clause - but I don't own it so I can't do a comparison. 

Although the color is a bit sheer, due to the jelly base, after three coats you do have a nice coverage.  The dry time was pretty quick, so I suppose it lives up to the name "Top Speed", but I prefer to use a quick drying top coat like Seche Vite as well.  

I've posted a couple of different angles/pictures below.  I just had one of my nails break, so I had to cut them back - they look so stumpy...sorry.   One picture is with a flash and the other in more natural lighting.  I will say, being that this is a glitter polish, it really does sparkle!  Look at that first picture - see what I mean?  You know how sometime glitters end up a bit more matte once dry?  Well this one is nice and shimmery, which is great for holiday parties or even just a pick me up.



I also picked up Mistletoe, which is a really vampy olive green - pictures coming soon once I wear it!

Spotted at Walgreens: Revlon Spice it Up Collection for 2011



I ran across the Revlon Spice it Up collection for this holiday season while at Walgreens earlier this week.  There are 8 nail polishes and 8 lipglosses to choose from.  On the display there was a $1 coupon off Revlon, so I ended up purchasing two nail colors: Glitz & Glam and Mistletoe.  I'll have pictures to post shortly.

Have you spotted this?  What did you pick up?  I really like some of the nail colors - lots of shimmer and sparkle!
