Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 660

hehe can't get enough of photo filters!




Finally found the perfect fuchsia pinky-purple lipcolour. It's Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick 660 in Berry Haute. Purchased for only $8.95!

It's colour is a cross between mauve and the purple you get on grape flavoured products. I think the purple is a bit of a cross between gumdrop and lollipop in their lipbutter series. It's a warm purple with pink undertones. 


It's easy to work with with its creamy consistency, but doesn't melt. It is very smooth. The result is a matte looking finish.The colour is true to the label after a good 3 swipes and doesn't settle into the cracks of my lip. The packaging is your standard black tube, however I dislike the transparent top as it makes me feel like I've lost the lid!

 It also has pretty good staying power as I wore it on a 34 degree day on the back of my hand and it didn't smudge heaps! Also when trying to remove it off my lips with a tissue which took forever, and I still had the obvious purple on my lips.


 
from top to bottom: 3 swipes, 2 swipes, 1 swipe.
natural lighting near window
room light on

natural light
Really good quality for its price, one of the best drugstore lipcolours I own (hohoho out of 3..)

 I was a really good impression of Revlon's line and I would purchase again.

You can purchase it from any of the big name retail shops eg. K-mart, Priceline or stand alone cosmetic shops eg. Cosmo's.

Overall rating: 4/5 (sorry lid!)


Yay got ma purrrrple on!

1st G-market Haul

Around last week I got my first G-market package! For those who don't know what G-market is it's like a Korean Ebay. Although I was on the English site most stores still write in Korean so it is annoying at times to click the translate page button or go on Google translate. However the site is really good and most stores offers great quality and service. you can get anything from pens to clothes to make up :) 

For this particular haul my friend Angela organized it so a bunch of people can order together to get a lower shipping rate. I got Etude House's Precious Mineral Make up Essence, Baby Skin Veiling, Golden Ratio 02, tear drop liner, Smith's Rosebud Salve in the tube and EOS lip balm in Honeydew. (review links up soon so stay tuned)



Stuff was packaged real cute with complimentary oil face wipes. The Etude House products gaves me freebies too: My favourite mask Etude House moistfull and a box filled with their moistfull collagen range.
I really enjoyed my G-market experience so I shall be ordering off them myself soon! :D

CIRCLE LENS

Finally I convinced my parents to let me buy circle lens >.< I purchased mine at Panda Sparks a store based in Sydney, chatswood which also has an online shop. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000655872670&sk=wall <--- they respond the quickest here. Since they were having a clearance sale all Geo lens (excluded crazy/super size) were only $12!! I got nudy brown and blue.



Very cute!
Had these soaking 6 hours prior.
Comparision


My ugly face with nudy blue! At first I thought they looked strange, but I LIKE STRANGE!
They don't look so good here with bathroom light, but in RL they are a very electric blue that stand out.


Cute travel case with tweezers, solution bottle and lens case.
 Got it from morning glory Eastwood for $5 they have many more designs.
Much better looking photo!
The nudy browns are more of a hazel green/gray but blend well with my eyes.
The nudy blues are very nice colour!
Overall I gave these a 8/10 comfort because even if it's not irritating you can tell there there all the time.
7/10 for the pattern, a bit too ''teary'' looking for me.
8/10 for enlargement. Good if you want a some ''pop'' but personally i prefer a little more natural looking.
9/10 for colour, wanted a more dark brown for my lens, but the blues were perfect <3

Hehe I'm geting into this circle lens craze now ^^ Might try EOS next >.>
