Some Revlon Purchases


I was sauntering around Boots a couple of weeks ago, as you do, and noticed that there was a 3 for 2 deal going on on the Revlon stand. I remembered that Alix from I Covet Thee had used the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in her 'Get Ready With Me' video. So I instantly gravitated towards the shade she had used, which is a gorgeous peachy-pink neutral shade called Pink Cognito. It is a great shade to put on in the morning which will go with all eye looks, in particular a smoky eye. And then of course another shade caught my eye, Kissable Pink. It is a great, your lips but a bit pinker look. Still very easy to wear on a day to day basis. The formulations of these lipsticks are sheer, so be aware of this when looking at the shades available as it is likely the colour you see won't be so bold.  Once the shine of the darker shade Kissable Pink it does leave a slight tint to the lips which is very pretty, whereas because the shade Pink Cognito is so neutral that it seems to fade away.

Once I had picked up these products there was no point in not getting a third product, so as not to waste the 3 for 2 deal right? Well in any case that was my logic. I had been on the look out for a highlighter for a while to perk up my seemingly dull winter complexion that everyone seems to be struggling with at the moment. Summer, where are you? I had read about this Revlon Photoready Skinlights on Nouvelle a while ago. So it was the perfect fit to complete the offer. I chose to go with the shade Pink Light after of course swatching the other shades. You need the tiniest bit which I then rub between a couple of fingers and rub onto the top of my cheek bones and any other place that I feel needs highlighting. This is an absolutely gorgeous product which I would recommentd to anyone! I am yet to use it mixed in with a base, or underneath, to create that extra bit of glowwy-ness that seems to be so on trend right now.

Since purchasing these beauties Boots are now offering a 3 for 2 across the majority of their store. I am so tempted to make a little purchase, but I have just taken advantage of the 10% off beauty on Debenhams at the moment. So maybe that will have to wait for a while. We'll just have to see how great my will power is.
