Review: ColorBurst Lipstick in Petal and Peach

Claim: "Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick has a formula that feels weightless on the lips. It includes innovative pigments that delivers high impact colour in one swipe. The elasticolour formulation is designed to distribute rich colour pigments evenly over the lips and allows for a comfortable feel. The formula is also enriched with moisturisers and antioxidants such as sweet almond oil to improve lip texture and prevent drying." (from www.beautyheaven.com.au)

Packaging: Love, Love, Love. It's gorgeous. The quilted pattern, the tops (showing quite an accurate representation of the colour) and the way REVLON is embossed on the lpstick itself, reminds me of high-end packaging. 



Formula: They are smooth and easy to apply. The colour payoff is actually quite sheer, so to get good coverage you need to really build it up and if you have more pigmented lips then your lip colour will definitely show through. Even with my medium pigmented lips, my natural lip colour shows through. 

 While application is nice, wearing this lipstick isn't if your lips are sensitive and tend to flake, like mine. If you're prone to flaking you'll see it flake after about 1.5-2 hours. So either exfoliate your lips or wear a lip balm underneath. Now, because it is such a sheer formula DAB a small amount of your favourite lip balm on your lips otherwise you'll get little to no colour payoff. 

 Longevity: About 3-3.5 hours. 

 Scent: No scent

 Colour:
Petal - light pink with silver shimmer, with a little bit of a frost finish
Peach - medium peach (it is definitely my favourite of the 2)
Note: They both give off a nice sheen so you can wear a lipgloss over them but I don't find it necessary. 


Natural Lip Colour


096 Petal
075 Peach


Overall thoughts: I really do like these lipsticks. I think they are great everyday lip colours. I especially love the peach but that's just because I'm peach tone obsessed, no seriously I am. I have everything from blushes to eyeshadows and lipstick but I digress. I like that even though they're sheer I can build the colour without it looking horrible. But I wish they were a bit more long wearing. 

 Pros:
- Gorgeous colour selection
- Packaging
- Colour payoff (depending on what you like this can be a con, but I personally like that I can have it darker or more sheer) 

 Cons:
- Expensive (all Revlon products are)
- Longevity 
- It peels on me if I don't wear a lip balm underneath

Where and how much? Anywhere Revlon is sold (Kmart, Target, Priceline, BigW etc) $23.95 (just wait till they are on sale)

 What is your favourite lip product from the ColourBurst line?

Dressale Wishlist WARNING

So sorry my followers and readers I've deleted my post because I don't want to be associated with this company. I'd trusted my instincts for a while and then finally came in after them sending me so many email. Check out this post if you have created a wishlist. I hope you all forgive me and from now on I will trust my instincts and if the company seems dodgy I'll let you all know.  http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=2506729123&group=0&frame_type=a&blog=3328770&link=aHR0cDovL2NyZWF0aXZlLWQtemluZS5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20vMjAxNC8wMy9kcmVzc2FsZS13aXNoLWxpc3Qtbm90LWxlZ2l0Lmh0bWw&frame=1&click=0&user=0

Review: wotnot Natural Organic Facial Wipes

For a long time you could only buy the wotnot facial wipes online. But you can now find them in Priceline for $7.99 or with the travel case (like shown above) for $9.99. While it is very pricey for make-up wipes, personally I think it is so worth it. If in doubt wait for the 40% off skincare sale. Some important things to note, these wipes are: "Certified organic pink grapefruit and petitgrain Certified organic papaya (pawapaw) Certified organic rosehip 100% natural and biodegradable fibre Free from alcohol and artificial perfumes Free from parabens and petrochemicals Ideal for sensitive skin" The wipes are large, moist and very refreshing. They have an earthy type smell which is not off putting...I swear. So don't be afraid if you're sensitive to smells. Not only are these wipes made up of amazing ingredients but they do the job and do it well. I wear light to medium make-up on my face and more medium-heavy eye make-up. And I find that the...

Haul: Gerard Cosmetics

In early March I came across a promotion for Gerard Cosmetics which included 2 lip glosses for $20 since I've been wanting to try these products for a while I decided to give their products a try. While I was on the site I checked out the sale section and there was a lipstick and lip gloss combo which was also $20. So I thought perfect... 4 lip products for $40 plus free shipping. In Australian dollars it cost approximately $54.  The colours I bought were; 1. Lipstick in Nude 2. Lip glosses in Nude (light pink nude), Deduction (dark and vampy) and Salmon (peachy orange)  My order came in less then 2 weeks, which was amazing. I couldn't believe how quick it came. However when I received my order I noticed something odd about the lip gloss in Seduction. It looked almost as if the tube was half empty. So I sent an email about my concerns and they responded to me within a day. And this was their response. "Hi love, We are so sorry this has happened :( Ple...
