Revlon Lipgloss in Pink Afterglow Review

One thing that Revlon do really well is lip products. They have a really good range of lip products with different finishes and colours. Today I am going to be reviewing the Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Afterglow (12). 

Firstly I love the packaging of this lipgloss it looks very high end. It has a clear tube and a black lid with a gold rim. The packaging reminds me of something from Chanel. I like packaging if I can see the colour of the product as it makes it easier to find in my collection. 

Pink Afterglow is a sheer sparkly mid-toned pink. If you don’t like sparkly lipglosses than this is not for you. This lipgloss comes with a standard doe foot applicator. This lipgloss is very sheer so if you are looking for colour then this is not one to go for. In the swatches for this post I have worn it by itself to show you the colour payoff but normally I wear it on top of a lipstick to add a bit of sparkle. I often pair it with Pink in the Afternoon which is also from lipstick or a nude lipstick. 

The lipgloss isn’t too sticky but it can be a bit gritty due to the glitter in it but it isn’t unbearable. For a lipgloss it lasts pretty well. This lipgloss can be a bit drying on the lips and I think this is due to the glitter in it. The lipgloss does have a faint scent but it isn’t noticeable on the lips. 

Overall I like this gloss but it isn’t my favourite. I think there are better ones available which provide more colour and aren’t as sticky. I have just tried one from Poundland and I have been pretty impressed. Revlon lipglosses are quite pricy at £6.99 and considering they are quite sheer that is a lot of money.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Exotic Island Review

I picked up one of the Tanya Burr lipglosses to try out. Tanya bought out a collection of lipglosses and nail polishes and she has recently launched some eyelashes. I picked up the shade Exotic Island as it seems like a very me colour. Although there are lots of other colours in the range that I would like to try out. 

I love the packaging of these lipglosses, they come in a clear tube with a black lid which has a pink heart on the top of it. Although the packaging looks quite simple I think that it looks very classic and elegant. The lipglosses are £6.99 and the nail polishes are £5.99 each  and can be bought from Superdrug or Feelunique. I feel that the pricing is a bit on the expensive side I wouldn't normally pay that much for a lipgloss or a nail polish. 

What Feelunique says- 'Offering a state of the art finish and performance, each Tanya Burr Lip Gloss comes packed with moisturising ingredients to feed and hydrate the lips. Choose from rich beautiful shades in crème and shimmer finishes and each tube comes with a handy lip brush applicator for a glossy 'wet look', with long lasting shine.' 

The lipgloss comes with a doe foot applicator which is quite flexible which makes application really easy as it glides over your lips. This lipgloss is really pigmented and not at all sticky. They gloss is very creamy and comfortable on my lips. They last a pretty long time for lip glosses but obviously you will need to touch up throughout the day as is standard with most lipglosses. They do have a slight scent to them which might bother some people but I don't mind the scent after it has been on the lips for a while you can't smell it though. Exotic Island is a gorgeous bright pink colour which is my favourite shade to wear. I really like this lipgloss and I would be tempted to try more from this range despite feeling that they are slightly overpriced.   

Overall I really like this lipgloss and as I mentioned above I would like to try some more colours. I believe that there are 20 colours in this range which is really impressive and there is something for everyone in this range.

June Haul

Today I thought I would share with you some of the bits and pieces that I have picked up during the month of June.

I'll first start with the items that I picked up at a local discount beauty store. This shop stocks a whole host of brands and products and discounted prices. I picked up another Rimmel Glam Eyes Eyeshadow this time I got the shade Punchy Taupe (160) for £1.99. The quality of these eyeshadows is amazing they are really pigmented and really easy to blend. I picked up a Revlon Photoready Blush in the shade Flushed for £3.99. I don't own many cream blushes so I thought I would give this one a go as I love Revlon and this colour is really pretty. I then picked up the W7 Light Diffusing Concealer for £2.99. It looks very similar to the YSL Touche Eclat so I thought I would give it a go. I picked up another Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick as I really like the formula of these and I loved the colour of this one. I got the shade Funtime Fuschia (320) for £2.99. The last item I got was a Revlon Lipgloss from the Super Lustrous range. I got the shade Berry Allure (225) as I remember Essiebutton mentioning it a few years ago and I love Revlon lip products and it was only £2.99. 

I then picked up a few bits from MUA as I had a few things on my wishlist. I got 2 lipsticks as I think that the lipsticks are a great value for money at just £1. They have a pretty decent shade range and the quality is pretty good there are a few hit and miss shades but usually the darker shades are the better ones. I got the shades 2 and 3, the one thing I don't like about them is the fact that they don't have names as it makes them seem a bit boring (am I the only one you thinks this?). I picked up another one of their blushers as I really like them. I already own Marshmallow, Candyfloss and Lolly and I have now added Bubblegum to my collection (I intend to own all the shades!). The last think I got was from the Luxe range it is the Velvet Lip Lacquer in Criminal, I only picked up one of these despite having other shades on my wishlist as I wanted to see whether I liked it as I am not normally a fan of matte lips but I wanted to give these a try. 

In Boots I picked up some Sanctuary Spa minis as I've heard a lot about the brand but have never tried anything from them before. I think that minis are the perfect way to try out products without committing to the full size version. I got the Body Moisture Spray as I thought that it would be perfect for summer. I also picked up the Illuminating Moisture Lotion SPF15, the Fresh Faced Purifying Wash and the Body Butter. 

I also picked up some bits from Seventeen as they had a free gift when you bought any 2 products. I haven't tried many things from Seventeen but I have good things about some of their products. I got the Skin Wow 3 Way Highlighter. This can be used in (you guessed it!) 3 ways: you can use it as a primer, mixed with your foundation or as a highlighter on the cheekbones. I have read some great reviews of this so I thought I would get it. I also got the Cheek Stamp Blush in  Made You Look, this is such a gimmick but I love gimmicks so I just had to have it.

The last thing I got was the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer as it was in the clearance section for £2.50 so I thought I'd get a back up as it was cheaper. 

What have you been purchasing?

April Haul

The other day I did a little bit of shopping and I thought I would share with you what I got. Most of the things I bought in Poundland and Poundworld as they had some amazing deals in. I ended up buying quite a few nail polishes not that I really needed them as I already have quite a large collection.

First up both Poundland and Poundworld often have a large range of Revlon nail polishes and this time 3 colour took my eye. The first is Ruby Ribbon which is a gorgeous sparkly pink colour with silver sparkles in it. Next is a lovely mint green colour called Minted which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. The last Revlon polish I got was Barely Bones which is a favourite of Essiebutton     when I saw her talk about it I liked the colour but wasn't sure if it would suit me and I didn't want to spend £7.99 in case I didn't like it. So when I saw it for a pound I knew I had to pick it up as even if I don't like it I haven't lost too much. 

I also picked up a China Glaze crackle polish in the shade Tarnished Gold, I haven't tried anything from China Glaze before so it will be interesting to see what this is like. I bought a lot of crackle nail polishes from OPI also from Poundland but I didn't get a gold one so this will fit well in my collection. I got this lovely pastel lilac shade from Sinful Colours in the shade Mauve which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. 

I picked up 3 Revlon Baby Sticks which are cream blushes. I got the shades Sunset, Tahitian and Pink Passion. I thought that these would be great for spring/summer. When I swatched them they weren't that pigmented but I have used Pink Passion and it doesn't look too bad but I am glad I didn't pay full price for them. 

The last 2 things I got are lip products. I saw this Maybelline Baby Lips and I don't believe that this is one that we can buy in Boots so I thought I'd get it as you can never have too many lipbalms. I went to Superdrug and picked up one of Tanya Burr's lipgloss. I was very excited when she launched her lipglosses and nail polishes and I had wanted to try them and then they released them into Superdrug so I knew I had to go and get something. I was restrained and only got one item a lipgloss in the shade Exotic Island I wanted to try one before I went crazy and bought more colours. I have to say I am very impressed and I will be getting more shades.
