Review | Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms

When it comes to lipsticks, glosses and foundations, Revlon takes the top 3 in the drugstore. From their Super Lustrous lipsticks to their Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains -- Revlon lip products are outstanding in my book. Revlon has "recently" come out with 20 new lip products called Revlon ColorBurst Matte & Lacquer Balms. Ten are matte balms and ten are lacquer balms. I'm more a matte and cream lipstick kind of girl so I opted for the matte balms. These are a great alternative to the L'Oreal Le Matte and La Lacque balms which were limited edition -- sadly I missed those. If you are familiar with or like(d) the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters, you will most likely -- hopefully -- fall in love with these.

This review is specifically on the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms.

I tried searching Revlon's website for information on the new Matte balms, but I could not find any information. However, I did find the following statement from various websites such as Ulta and Target, "Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm offers velvety color with balm-like moisture. Infused with a Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Mango and Coconut Butter. This retractable chubby crayon requires no sharpener." Reading that statement made me jump for joy! The Triple Butter Complex definitely ensures some good moisture for the lips. Keep in mind, in the statement, they do not say that these are a stain -- merely a "velvety color with balm-like moisture." Please keep that in mind before comparing them to the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. Those are two different lines from Revlon.

Now these Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms range anywhere from %6.49 to $9.99 USD depending on which drugstore you go to. Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart and Target -- possibly Kmart -- have said to be the cheapest places. I purchased mine for $9.99 USD BOGO (buy one get one half off) at my local CVS. As stated before, I am a matte and cream lipstick kind of girl. I didn't purchase the Lacquer Balms because they are said to have glitter in them and I don't like glitter or shimmer in my lipsticks...however, I do want to get my hands on Demure, Whimsical, Provocateur, Coy and Ingenue just to try them out anyway. I did purchase a total of five matte balms in the shades: Elusive, Unapologetic, Shameless, Showy and Sultry. I do want to purchase two more shades in Standout and Complex as well.

Revlon Lipstick Collection & Swatches - Part II

Hello my lovelies! I've been wanting to share my ever growing lipstick collection with you all, but I have over 100 lipsticks, so I figured I do this by brand. The first brand is Revlon and it has to be split into two videos because I have a ton of Revlon lipsticks. I've been asked via blogger and youtube to share my collection (complied of mostly drugstore with 4% high end lippies) and I said I would so here it is!

Part II of my Revlon Lipstick Collection contains my Lip Butters, newer Creme lipsticks and a few Shine and Pearl lipsticks as well. Check out Part I here.

*there are no picture swatches as I have swatched every lipstick in the video*

During the entire video I used my Maybelline Baby Lips in Fierce & Tangy to keep my lips moisturized between lipsticks.

At Home Spa | Pedicure

Good morning my loves!

I hope everyone had a great start to their week as I did! This bright and early morning I want to talk about at home spas. Now, I am doing a series of "At Home Spa" posts, in no particular order, because I absolutely love them. They are pocket friendly, easy, fun and very relaxing to do. I've been partaking in these for some time since high school and through my experiences and time I've come across some awesome products and have some amazing tips!

Soaking my feet.

This post is focusing on the pedicure portion of the "at home spa" because I had the most amazing experience ever. If you all don't know, my mother purchased me the Avon Foot Works Beautiful Lavender 5 Piece set last week and I received over the weekend. The set included: a comfort foot soak, clay mask, two overnight creams and a pair of gel toe separators (which I lost). I was curious to know how to have the "salon experience" without dishing out the cash, so once I got these products I was all over YouTube searching for videos and I came across an amazing youtuber: glaxaydreaming. Her video really inspired me to go out and purchase a few tools, which I did after work.

The items I used include:
