Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses: Swatches & Review

Today's featured product has to be one of my favourites.  Revlon always has amazing products - it's one of my favourite drugstore brands.  They're products are affordable and good-quality.  What I'm talking about is... Super Lustrous Lipglosses with SPF 12.  I currently own 6 shades (4 of which are considered new, 2 which have been around a while).  Originally, 4 of these shades were limited edition, though they have now been integrated into the permanent line.

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in Berry Noir: Review & Swatches

Today's feature product is a lip product by Lancome.  Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in Berry Noir is my absolutely favourite dark lip colour.  This beautiful shade has SPF 12 and is smooth, creamy and very pigmented.  After lusting after this colour for a year, I finally picked up my first Lancome lipstick and have not looked back.

Shop MAC Lipsticks: Review & Swatches

The Shop MAC collection - released on February 9, 2012 along with Cook MAC - brought 6 stunning lipstick shades (5 new, 1 repromote) to MAC counters/stores across North America.  This was one collection, that I was very excited for.  Having had to literally hunt for the Iris Apfel collection, I was happy to see that this collection had not sold out with the first few hours.  I ended up picking up 4 of the 6 available shades.

Cook MAC Tendertone Lip Balm: Review & Swatches

They're back! MAC has finally repromoted their Tendertone Lip Balm as a part of the Cook MAC collection released on February 9, 2012.  Like the crazy lip product gal thast I am, I headed out on the day the collection was released and picked up all four tendertones released with this collection.  I have not used a Tendertone since 2010 or so when they were last released and I used all of my one and only one up.  These little potted lip balms always seem to fly off the shelves so I stocked up!

MAC: Iris Apfel Collection in Flamingo & Pink Pigeon: Review & Swatches

This is a somewhat belated post considering that this collection has been sold out for some time now.  However, I figured I would do some swatches and reviews regardless.  Hopefully, if you are interested in these colours, I can provide some possible dupes and/or look-a-likes for these shades.  So without further ado, here are some swatches about the much loved, bird-inspired collection from Iris Apfel in collaboration with MAC. Please note: that this post will be fairly picture heavy for only showing 2 lipsticks.

Revlon Lip Butters: Swatches & Review!

Warning: this post will be very picture heavy. I own 16 of the 20 shades available.

OH the famous revlon lip butters.  When these were released, I, like so many others hopped on the bandwagon and got caught up in the lip butter craze.  I applaude revlon for yet another extremely successful lip product.  These are some of the best lip products I own.

Revlon does an excellent job at producing high quality lip products in a wide range of colorus. The finish of these is along the lines of a  luster lipsticks with a tinted lip balm coloring.  But some are equally as pigmented as lipsticks and they are very reminiscent of Rouge Coco Shines by Chanel (also a luster finish.)  They are a healthy cross between glide on creamy balm and luster lipstick.

So as mentioned, I own 16 of the 20 revlon lip butter shades available.  I might have gone a little crazy - but I found most of these on some sort of sale.  For those of you who are like me and have a hard time deciding on what to get, hopefully this picture intensive post will help you out.

MAC: Tour de Fabulous Lipglass: Swatches & Review

I'd like to welcome to the Tour de Fabulous Lipglass to my ever growing MAC collection.  According to the beauty gurus - and swatches I did myself at the store - this lipglass is a fairly good dupe if not complimentary shade for the limited edition matte lipstick, Flamingo, from the Iris Apfel collection.  I would have to agree.  The Tour de Fabulous collection was named after this one shade and with good reason.  I feel as if this would be flattering on most if not all skin tones.

Fresh: Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment (ft. the Mini Kissing Trio!): Swatches & Review

Hello.  I'd like to introduce you to my star lip product: Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment.  For over a year now, I have been a disciple of these lip products.  I am never without my Fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment (spf 15).  I have a correction to make - I am on my third tube of this particular color.  Rosé, if I am not mistaken, was their original Tinted Treatment and comes in a baby pink tube.

Sugar fresh & Sugar Rosé are regular size - the others are minis

Favourite Products of 2011

I cannot believe that it's already midway through January 2012.  It seems that 2011 passed by in the wink of an eye.  I hardly remember what I did and when I did it.  It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating NYE 2011 with my girls.  Talk about fast.  I admit that a lot of things happened in 2011 though.  That being said, I think I've grown up some and though I'm still searching to find myself and what inspires me, I found a lot of things that I liked over the last year.  So without further ado, here are my favourites of 2011!
