Revlon ColorBurst™+ ColorStay Lipsticks Haul+Swatches

On my latest excusions to the USA, my bf and I went to a Big Lots near the border. Perfect place to stock up on snacks for the long ride and check out discounted makeup :P

While searching through the makeup section I found a whole bunch of Revlon ColorBurst™+ ColorStay Lipsticks with NO price on them. Luckily for me there was just men working in the store *happy dance*. Due to sheer laziness and lack of knowlegde they gave me all six lipsticks for $1.00 each!!!

That's a steal because there about $8.00 to $14.00 each in Canada. 

I only picked up one initially but when I seen the price.. I went back and picked up five more!

I only swatched four and I plan to gift the rest :D

Lip Swatches!

I have enough nude lipsticks to last me a year!! 

Have you tried any of the ColorBurst or ColorStay lipsticks before?

My favorite Summer Lipstick was MAC Romancin'

The number one lipstick that stayed in my bag for the whole Summer was MAC's Romancin'.

Unfortunately it's no longer available since it was from the Adoring Carmine collection awhile back. I'm so happy I got my hands on it at the MAC warehouse sale.

Romancin' is a creamy magenta lipstick. It will work for every skin tone especially WOC because it's blue based.

                                                 That just screams summer to me <3

Day 3: V-day Lips MAC Heartless Lipstick

The name Heartless is definitely not appropriate for a v-day look...... unless your a gold digger!!! LOL I'm joking... The name is crazy but the color is AMAZING.

FOTD using Barry M Cosmetics!

This is a simple look for my movie date to see Black Swan. Since I have a lot of Barry M goodies, I decided to test some of it out. Girls..everything I used was soo pigmented! Products like these just make you fall in love with makeup all over. Haha! I know it's weird but my "junkies" exactly what I mean.



Here is what I used:

•  Barry M Dazzle Dust in 44 (Bronze)
• Barry M Lip Lacquer Pencil Crayon 2 (Cherry Red)
• Barry M 3 N 1 Mascara

 I need to spotlight the Dazzle Dust & Lip Lacquer because there GORGEOUS. Please click the pictures to see these in HD.

I generally never touch a lipstick with sparkles because they look "gritty'...but the lacquers are smooth & glossy. I want every color!

What do you think of the look?

As most of you can see from several Canadian Bloggers BarryM may be coming to Canada. So support the moment and Like this BarryM page!

My new love: Revlon Matte Lipstick in Wine

A few weeks ago I was invited to LG Fashion Week by another beauty blogger named Davida. By total coincidence I was downtown filming in the same location as LGFW, so I didn't have time to go home. Also I left all my makeup at home so I had to run a store...ASAP.

After swatching over 20 lipsticks in Shopper's Drug Mart.. Relvon Wine stood out above the rest!

They're moisturizing and not drying like other matte lipsticks. Also it doesn't settle in the lines of my lips..which is a horrible sight to see..lol.

Here is a hand swatch:
