L'Oreal Paris True Match Blush

Image
My first blush. I've always wanted one and after years of "borrowing" Mum's I decided to bite the bullet and get my own. I was already at the L'Oreal counter so I saw the pinkest colour and grabbed it. Packaging: This is the area of the product that let me see this product unfavourably. The lid broke away from the bottom. The plastic thats was covering the hinge at the back of the blush crumbled away as if it had been smashed on the floor continually (See photos above). This meant that the little brush stored underneath and the blush pan falls out when I open the blush lid. The crumbling slowly happened within the first couple of months of using it. I haven't dropped it on the floor, which would explain the breakage.  As shown in the pictures the True Match Blush comes in a mini-compact equipped with 'convenient' mirror and wide brush for easy application, however I wouldn't recommend using the brush as a heavy hand can cause stark stroke...

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick

Image
I’ve been wanting a nude lipstick for a while. I’ve listen to and heard lots of high raves for MAC’s Creme de Nude but at $35 a stick I can’t quite commit just yet. So I started researching the colour ranges at the drugstores for something more affordable for my first lipstick. When Revlon first came out with their colorburst lipline I didn’t really take any notice until I looked at their colour range and had my eyes set on Soft Nude (070). It looked like a nice pink undertoned nude that would look awesome on my lips. As of today they've seemed to have renamed the colour to Soft Suede. Packaging: It's a hard plastic black  square  tube  with the quilt/ crisscross pattern and  engraved  Revlon  on the lipstick bullet. The shade name and number is on the bottom of the tube.  The packing is very elegant and  Channel-esque which isn't the  typical cheap looking product which is awesome.  It's pretty durable...
