Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - Crush : Review & Swatch!

Revlon came out with this product line awhile ago. They come with a pretty good range of colors from neutrals to bright colors. This is Revlon's in Crush which is a really pretty plum-like shade.


It has a minty scent with a crayon application that is moisturizing and easy to apply. It is a great product for those that enjoy having lip products that can be build-able. For example, during the day it can be a sheer tint whereas maybe at night it can be intensified and deeper.

I am not the type to wear bright and bold lip colors, but for some reason I decided to get this and I fell in love. I think the plummy color makes it not too bold but at the same time it gives you color on the lips. I feel like in a way, it's your lips but better, but also more plum-ier. When applied to the lips, it has a semi-glossy finish because of the moisturizing balm. Once, the glossy-ness fades away, it leaves a soft plummy shade on the lips. Although it is currently spring, I still think it's a great color, whether it's sheer or as opaque as possible.

I bought this product at CVS for about $8, but it can be bought at any drugstore.

Have you tried the Just Bitten Kissable balm stains? What's your favorite shade?

NOTD: Essie Lady Like

Haven't wrote in a long time, I've been attempting to get back on my routine of school, yay (sarcastically) and hope you had a good summer! Anyways, today I am wearing a polish called Lady Like by Essie. I was in the mood to wear a somewhat simple polish instead of a crazy hot pink or bright neon green. Fun fact, this was my first ever polish since I haven't got into nail polish until last year. I would consider this polish a somewhat neutral color with a hint of purple.

                                                                                                  This is a tan-ish purple polish. The formulation is pretty good, but may be a bit streaky now and then. I would have to say this polish is somewhat opaque, but opaque enough for just two decent layers. It has a somewhat shiny finish and of course it would look nice with a shiny top coat. 

(two coats)

You can purchase this product at any drugstore for around $6-$8.

Do you remember your first ever polish? If so, what was it?

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick - 08: Review & Swatches!

I've been recently loving lip products and especially lipsticks that are neutral colors that can be worn everyday. I've heard great things about Rimmel London and I own one of their lipsticks but in the Kate Moss collection and I fell in love with the one I have, but sadly the color is a bit to bold for me to wear everyday (by the way it's a deep red). So I had decided to purchase a brand that I love, but that I can wear everyday. I have been loving this color and type because of its shade as well as scent.

                               (camera didn't fully show the color, sorry)

The lipstick is a mauve-y pink with a hint of brown/purple tint. 

Swatches now:

(R→L: 1 layer, 5 layers)

This lipstick has a nice creamy formula which makes the lipstick glide on smoothly, and while applying you can taste a bit of a cherry taste as well as the scent. Swatched on, with 1 layer it is quite pigmented and with several layers of it can be very pigmented. I think that the packaging itself is very unique and cute with a cool looking style of a slanted cap.

You can purchase this product at any drugstores that sell Rimmel London and it retails for about $5-6 (good deal to me).

Let me know if you like Rimmel products and which is your favorite?
