Revlon Nail Polish "Minted"

  I know mint nail polishes have been in for a while now and I had gotten this Revlon nail polish in Minted a while back but I never seemed to get around to making a blog post about it till now. I love mint nail polishes, especially this one. I'm not sure if the reason being that I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and this nail polishes reminds of that or it's just I love this color in general. I pretty much never see girls at my school or anyone around me for that matter wearing mint green nail polishes and I'm sure I wouldn't be wearing it either if I hadn't seen the hype about it in blogs or on youtube...I probably would've passed this color before but now I just love it. Now on with the actual polish itself! This polish does have a somewhat thin consistency yet it's not extremely thin. It does apply somewhat streaky which is a downfall because you have to be really careful to make it look even. It is a creme finish. It requires about 2-3 coats to be opaque which isn't a problem for me. This polish does go for around four bucks which is pricier than your regular Sally Hansen polish but it isn't too much of a stretch for me. The lasting power of this polish goes for about exactly a week which is awesome. Overall, I really like this polish and would recommend it.

Review: Revlon Photo Ready Concealer


Where to get it
Most drugstores, Amazon, and Revlon's website.

Price:
You can get it for around 7-8 dollars depending on where you buy it from.

What you get:
You get .11 ounces of concealer which I find is a lot and will last a while.

Pigmentation/Creaminess:
This concealer is very creamy which I really like, it just glides on my skin. It is very pigmented which means it can cover up even the brightest red blemish or purple under eye circles. It isn't cakey either which is why I like to use it under my eyes sometimes. The yellow undertones in it help counteract dark purple circles. I don't recommend applying the concealer straight from the stick because bacteria from your skin could get on it and contaminate it so I like to put a bit on a clean finger or a concealer brush and apply it that way. 

Color Selection:
This concealer only comes in 6 different shades which isn't much so that is definitely a downside. Also most of them are yellow based so if you have pink undertones this wouldn't be the best concealer for you.

Lasting Power:
I think the lasting power of this concealer is really good. It lasts about 5-6 hours on me. I would recommend setting it with a powder though so it doesn't melt off in the heat. However if it is cool then there won't be a problem with it wearing off right away.

Who would I recommend this to:
I recommend this concealer to anyone who has blemishes or dark circles they want to cover up.

Overall Thoughts:
I love this concealer and would repurchase it a million more times however there does need to be more of a color selection.

Overall Rating:
9/10

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick "Soft Nude"











I had purchased this Revlon Color burst lipstick in Soft Nude a few weeks ago and posted it in a recent haul. The reason I picked this lipstick up was because I had really wanted a new nude lipstick beside my NYX Circe and drugstore was the only way I was going. I came to the conclusion that Revlon was the most high end and best quality drugstore brand there is...okay well except for NYX but they only sell NYX at ULTA which I don’t consider drugstore. But anyway, I knew I wanted a Revlon lipstick but the real question was…which nude lipstick do I want? Well I saw this lipstick in a picture maybe, I’m not exactly sure where I saw it but I know I saw it somewhere and immediately fell in love. So I decided to pick it up.

The color is a peachy nude and has a crème finish. It also comes with a lot of product in the tube. It only takes a few swipes to get an opaque wash of color, no need to blank out your lips before hand. It can appear a bit orange on certain people but not me. I’m pale so that could be why, I have read that on darker people it does look a little orange so beware all you tanned skinned people. It’s nothing a little lip gloss can’t fix though. Personally, I am not a fan of this lipstick alone because I feel like it makes me look washed out but I love it paired with a gloss. My personal favorite nude lip combo is this lipstick with NYX’s lip gloss in Frosted Beige.  Also, if your lips are dry, this lipstick will most definitely point it out. So be sure to exfoliate your lips before wearing this alone (brushing your lips with a tooth brush will do the trick). The lasting power is fairly well according to the lipstick beginner (me); the lipstick alone lasts about an hour and a half. I like this lipstick and would repurchase this, the only downside is that you most likely need to pair it with a gloss but I’d do that whether it looked good alone or not since I like a little glossy lips.

 Btw, did I mention the packaging is GAWGEOUSSSS. It looks super high end with the black packaging, I love the quilted detail, the color on the top is helpful if you have a million lipsticks and are looking for a specific one, and the lipstick has “Revlon” engraved in it. I LOVE IT!
