Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Honey, Smitten, & Crush









Hey everyone! As you can see this post is about the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains! This name is ridiculous! Anyway there are three colors I am going to write about, Honey, Smitten, and Crush.

First, let's go over the packaging. This product comes in a colorful plastic tube indicating (KINDA) the color of the product inside. It has a twist knob at one end in which you can increase the amount of product out of the tube. You do NOT sharpen this product, just TWIST it up for more.

OK, now for the actual product. There is a SLIGHT minty smell within the product. Not incredibly strong, but it is noticeable and does not last long after application. For Smitten and Crush, the color of their packaging is a decent indication of the color within, but not for Honey.
Honey's packaging is a light pink, but the product is a nice muted purplish-pink, a great nude on my lips. MY FAVORTE! 
Smitten comes in a medium toned purple tube and the color is a reddish purple against my skin tone. 
Lastly, is Crush which is a deep berry purple and yet I still think is nice to wear during the day. 
I love all of these colors. When first applied, it can be a little glossy. After the color sets in your lips, that color is there to stay and if you wear all day and reapply, it takes a minute to remove.
As for the BALM aspect of this product. I did not find them INCREDIBLY moisturizing. They were OK, but I always apply my EOS lipbalm on my lips before adding ANY other lip product. 

All and all, I LOVE these things. They are so cute, and fun to use! I would recommend them to anyone!
I hope you found this post helpful!

Revlon Photoready Cream Blushes - Coral Reef & Pinched








Hey everyone! This post is going to be about the Revlon Photoready Cream blushes. There are 3 colors in total and I have two that I am going to share with you. Those colors are Coral Reef and Pinched.

First lets go over the packing! It comes in a box which I have not shown here and the box has a cut out circle to show the specific color of the blush. The packaging itself is a small circular pan with a black plastic cap with a clear plastic bottom where the product is held. Simply twist off and enjoy =]

Both of these colors are definitely in the corally peach family. First I will start with Coral Reef a VERY bold, BRIGHT orange coral, perfect for summer. Even though it is VERY bright in the pan, on my darker skin tone, it takes a few swipes to build up the color to something visible. SO the color in the pan is not necessarily the color that is transferred to the skin...at least in my case. If you on the opposite end of the skin tone spectrum, EASY on the application! You may look like carrot cheeks!
Second is Pinched a light, muted peachy color. This color BARELY shows up on my skin. It does after a COUPLE of applications and blending. And when color IS visible, it looks more of a HIGHLIGHT than a blush, SO I think this is a blush for those on the other end of the skin tone spectrum. Well, at least I have a new peachy highlighter color, I guess.

Both of these colors are VERY creamy, and EASILY blended into the skin. I did not experience any breakouts on my face (thanks Revlon!) and even though Pinched faded away during the day, Coral Reef stayed true to color even in 98 degree Georgia weather on my oily skin O.o.

So in my opinion, if you can get your hands on one of these, DO! It's a great product from Revlon to try out whether you have oily skin or not. They stay and give good pigmentation when or if you need to build them up!

Soon, I hope to film a up close comparison video on these blushes which I will link HERE when I do!

Thanks for stopping by for a lil reading time!!!

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation - Caramel





 Hello everyone! This post is going to be on Revlon's new 24hr Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation. I purchased mine in the shade 340 Caramel at Target. Target was the only store that had the most wide range of shades to choose from.
It retails for about $12 to $14 depending on where you buy it from.
This foundation can be found in a GOOD size GLASS packaging. No just throwing this into the makeup bag, it may break. There is no spatula to scoop out the product just a little plastic covering to prevent product into the lid. So unless you have your own, be prepared to use a brush or your fingers.

Ok, now on to the fun stuff. This foundation is none like anything that I have in my own collection. It's VERY creamy and feels smooth to the touch on your fingers. It doesn't have a strong smell like the Colorstay liquid and since I usually wear Caramel shade in the liquid, this is a very close match for me. It IS a LITTLE bit light but once blended in, it goes unnoticeable on my skin.

Alright, how does it feel? Well I used this 3 different times so far. The first time, I used one of my beauty blender sponges because I thought it would set quickly like the colorstay liquid, which is NOT the case, so feel free to take your time blending. It's not the amazing race.
With the beauty blender, it gave me a light to medium coverage and felt and looked very natural. No complaints.
The second time I used it. I just used my good ole' fingers and I THINK I applied too much. It felt a little heavy, gave me a medium to nearly full coverage, but still VERY easily blended out with no problems of patchy, blotchiness.
The third time, I used my fingers again and found the right amount of product to take out to apply to my face and it was PERFECT, amazing experience. I didn't really get that much of a heavy coverage feeling and it really felt AMAZING and LOOKED good on the skin. No masks over here!

So all in all, I like this foundation. I will say that you should play around with it to see what application style works best with what overall outcome you want to face to look like. This foundation will definitely give you medium to full coverage! And even though it's summer, I still find this to be a good foundation unless it's over 100+ degrees outside and then it will melt off your face.

I hope you all enjoyed to read! Leave any questions or comments down below!
