Last week Riteaid was having an amazing deal on Revlon lip products. They were on sale for $4.99. I took this as the perfect opportunity to pick up some products in colors I didn't already own. Did I mention I LOVE Revlon lippies?
Yay mini haul!
I've kind of been obsessed with the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain for awhile now. I actually think I bought my first one last Spring when we came up to Portland before we moved here. Basically they are a moisturizing balm that stains your lips. Some colors have more staying power than others but I'll put up another post on them, and the ones I have soon.
The colors I got were 045 Romantic, a deeper orange-y red that leaves a nice tint on the lips, not exactly bright but not dark either . I also got 025 Sweetheart, a brighter bubble gum pink shade.
Before I was obsessed with the lip balm stains I was obsessed with the Colorburst Lip Butters. They are super moisturizing, and glide on like butter. Some shades are super pigmented while I own quiet a few already but don't own all of them so I grabbed the ones I had my eyes on for awhile.
The first was 060 Gumdrop, a pretty light purple shade perfect for spring. It's not the most pigmented but it's a pretty way to wear purple. The next shade was 065 Cremesicle, a creamy nude shade. It's not my favorite but it's a nice nude shade. The last shade 075 Lollipop is one I've been wanting to get but always seemed to forget about it when I was at the store. It's my favorite shade of pink to wear, deep but bright. It reminds be of the lip balm stain in the shade Smitten, which I wear all the time. It's the most pigmented of the group and like all lipbutter you can build it up to the desired intensity.
Next I grabbed a couple of the Colorburst lipglosses. I only had one of these before but I liked the formula and heard good things. Both of the shades are super pigmented and not sticky at all. They do have tons of a fine shimmer but not in a bad way. The first shade 006 Strawberry is a pretty, wearable pinky-red with silver shimmers. The second shade is 008 Peony, a peachy pink shade with gold shimmer. Overall I really like them so far.
Lastly I got some of the new ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipsticks. I already owned one but haven't really had a chance to wear it since my lips have been dry due to the weather. They are not drying but tend to show any cracks in your lips, being they are basically matte. I got the shades 045 Supermodel, a buildable wine shade, and 075 Cruise Collection, a brighter orange. The second shade is definately more suitable for spring.
So that's it, my first blog haul!
Love, Elle
