Inno mini-haul

My favourite lipgloss - Revlon super lustrous in 18 pink pop, 9,95 EUR and I simply could not resist this IsaDora eyeshadow quad (love matte shades) 44 muddy nudes, 18 EUR...

 

 

 

Revlon ColourStay Liquid Eye Pen

What a lovely surprise, I almost forgot that I bought this pen eyeliner last year in New York and even though I was pretty sure nothing can beat my beloved Catrice gel eyeliner, now I am happy to announce that yes, Revlon pen eyeliner is great, very easy to work with, it lasts all day, it has nice and strong pigmentation, and for the first time, I was able to do the flick how I like it (my eyes and small and hooded, not well-suited for a cat eye flick...), I absolutely recommend it. Now, the problem is that even though Inno sells Revlon, they do not have this pen on stock, so wherever you see one, grab one, typically airports or Germany...please do let me know if you happen to locate it somewhere nearby!

 

 

 

Do not despair if you can not find it, I saw that Maybelline are selling similar liquid pens, so they are worth checking out!

Revlon ColourBurst lipstick in 025 Carnation

 

 

 

Revlon ColourBurst lipstics are simply amazing, creamy and moisturizing. I decided to be a bit adventurous and went for a light fuchia shade, called Carnation. I ADORE it, I would wear it every day only it is quite a specific colour...

Inno haul - Sunday shopping

It is ever such a strange feeling to be shopping on Sunday in Belgium :-). The crazy 4 days at Inno - 20 % off on all cosmetics - resulted in me re-purchasing my favourite foundation Revlon ColourStay 220 Natural Beige, Revlon ColourBurst lipstick in Carnation and Bourjois metallic eyeliner in 51 Noir effet miroir. I paid 26 EUR in total instead of 32,50 EUR :-)

Revlon

 Going though my favourite Joy magazine, I spotted a picture of a Chanel "Lèvres Scillantes", which at first glance I mistook for my very own Revlon lustrous lip gloss...I love a good dupe :-) Upon closer inspection, I do notice the difference, but the truth of the matter is, Revlon has packed these lipglosses in a lovely, luxurious way.

Revlon ColourBurst lipstick Peach

Not only was I taken by the beauty of the Coral Reef lipgloss, but I also succumbed to the temptation of Revlon's ColourBurst lipstick in Peach, 075. Given that I really like my other two Revlon lipsticks, the decision was pretty easy, with the upcoming summer season, a peachy-coral lipstick looked like just the right choice :-).

The lipstick has no smell (good news after Rimmel's airy fairy) and has a creamy texture which feels light on the lips. The formula is non-drying (at least on me), but then, this is not a super a long-lasting lipstick. The colour is soft, with good pigmentation and extremely wearable for everyone, definitely a good investment.

 

Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in Coral Reef

Now, this lipgloss was apparently released already last year for the summer period, hence the lovely coral colour. The minute I saw it, I fell in love with it and had to buy it, it just looked so pretty! :-) I swatched it already at Galeria INNO and it was by far the most pigmented variation. It cost 9,95 EUR. 5,9 ml, SPF 15.

Apart from wonderful pigmentation, the gloss is not sticky and it feels pleasant on the lips. The applicator is a standard, slightly angled, sponge-tip.

Revlon Colourstay makeup for combination/oily skin

So, some wishes come true and I finally bought Revlon Colourstay makeup for oily skin in 220 Natural Beige. (30 ml, 11,60 EUR at Inno Galeria - a special 20 % off deal, Easter sales). I have heard so much about it, both good (dupe for Estee Lauder Double Wear makeup) and bad (funky smell, really difficult to remove from both the brushes and the face), that I decided  to see for myself what I think about it. Plus, it is not every day that you see a foundation with SPF, thumbs up!

So far I can only report about the smell. It is there...like a fresh layer of paint...So, we will see, I will keep you posted.

Also, it is going to be rather interesting putting it on, with a missing pump...but I do not give up easily :-)

Wishlist Revlon Colourstay foundation

Ever since I read that this is a dupe for Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, I am very keen on trying it:

Revlon Colourburst lipstics

It is not an easy task to find a perfect nude lipstick, the one that does not make you look dead, that does not dry your lips, the one that is going to last more than 5 minutes. I have heard so many good things about REVLON's Colourburst lipstics, that I had to treat myself to two (rosy nude 065 and soft nude, 070), even if I'm not a lipstick person per se.

Rosy nude and soft nude

Rose nude colour is a touch too red to my linking to call it nude, but it is a nice soft colour if you want to start wearing a red lipstick but have not yet gathered the courage to do so. I am in love with the soft nude, it has a beautiful sheen and it keeps your lips moistured, no wonder so many women love it! The colour payoff is strong and the packaging is really sexy :-) (hello plaid!) I bought my lipsticks at Inno Galerie, 10,50 EUR each.
