Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick #065 Rosy Nude

-

Packaging:
The packing is very elegant and not a typical cheap looking product which is awesome. Its very channel-esque with the quilt/ crisscross patttern, which makes me feel very important and special. The actual casing is a hard plastic meaning that its pretty durable and can handle being chucked around. I like the engraved Revlon on the stick too.

Smell:
Manufactured plastic smell.

Colour:
#065 Rosy Nude - reddish pink with a brown/ mauve undertone. Opaque pigmentation with a matte finish. This specific colour does go on a little reedier than my natural lip colour which may interest those who like lip products that look similar to their own natural lips. This colour is not suited for me as it's too mauve-y for my liking (lucky it was free).


Texture/ Formula:
This lipstick feels light weight on the lips. Though when I remember this I check my lipstick and the colour has seemed to rub off and this in within 30mins of applying it and not moving, eating or drinking.

Revlon claim that there are moisturisers included to improve lip texture and prevent drying but I don't fell it. This actually makes my lips feel as though they are dry. Maybe this is due to the longevity of the product itself. Longevity in terms of there being colour-despite there actually being very little colour on the lips.

The lipstick is smooth and glides onto the lips. It is a little hard to smack the lips and move the lipstick around on the lips There is a slight sheen finish to this lipstick.

The only good thing about this lipstick line in general is the Chanelesqe inspired packaging. I find them too drying on the lips to be something I'll keep as a stable and chuck in my handbag. I just find them wary to drying on the lips.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $24.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
