A full 3 months after I wondered if Revlon would bring in their Limited Edition Floral Affair collection, I spotted it in our pharmacies. Of course, I had to test it at the counter to see if they were as pretty on the skin as they look.

The Floral Affair palettes for the eyes are so pretty. Just look at them! There’s More! Continue reading →

Review: Makeup: Revlon Renewist Lip Color Lipstick

8 Comments



To be perfectly honest, I used to think of Revlon as a boring adult brand. That was when I was young and foolish of course :P I used to think of Maybelline as the cute younger sister and Revlon as the older one - it was more serious, packaging was more severe with all that black and the models used were just older. Perhaps that’s Revlon’s target market?

Anyway, I got older and suddenly Revlon was for me! I’ve only really tried their lip products. Their Super Lustrous Lipsticks and Lipglosses get the thumbs up from me every single time. The age-defying 2 way foundation was the first time I’d tried Revlon’s face base products and its pretty awesome too.

My review this time is for the Revlon Renewist Lip Color - Revlon’s newest lipstick in their stable. Do keep reading because there’s a GIVEAWAY for this one too! Thanks of course to the good folks at Revlon :)

Review & Giveaway! Revlon Age-Defying 2-way foundation with Botafirm

22 Comments



The folks over at Revlon contacted me recently to test-drive their new Revlon Age-Defying 2-way Foundation with Botafirm in 05 Sand Beige. Whew! What a mouthful! What it essentially is, of course, is a 2-way powder foundation. 2-way because it can be used both wet and dry. Wet for more coverage and dry for less. I only ever use my powder foundations dry so my review will be based on that. There is a giveaway too at the bottom, so please read on!

First of all, the packaging. I love it! The powder foundation comes in a slim red case which is similar to the rest of the Revlon Age-Defying line. But what I really like is the slimness and the sleekness of the design. It actually looks and feels more expensive than it really is. There’s More! Continue reading →

Revlon Mineral collection and Limited Edition

10 Comments



I was looking around online when I stumbled upon Revlon’s site. Now, Revlon is to me, one of the most unexciting brands around. Yes, I love their lip colours and I’m told that their loose powder and foundations are good, but you have to admit that as a brand, its quite unexciting.

Until now, that is.

Look what Revlon has, that we don’t get here in Malaysia?

A Revlon Mineral makeup collection!

The Colorstay Mineral Collection has a mineral powder eyeshadow trio, a mineral powder blush and the Colorstay Mineral Foundation. The Mineral foundation looks like its a liquid but according to the Revlon website, its a powder foundation with a brush in the cap, like L’oreal. Interesting! The one that strikes my fancy the most is the blush (but of course!) I wonder when we’ll see this one come in.

The bottle in the picture is a Revlon Custom Creations Foundation. It comes in various shades but there is a dial on the cover that you can twist to mix the foundation to the EXACT color of your skin. I think the colours blend as they are pumped out. A bit gimmicky but I can see it selling like hot cakes to people who want the PERFECT foundation.

Revlon too has a limited edition collection which they also had last year. That was the collection with the gold swirl on the berry blush and that midnight lipstick swirly thing. I was quite unimpressed with that collection. But not with this one!

Just look at that blush! A Floral Affair by Revlon. It looks rather like the blush from Clinique with the flower on it. Very pretty! There are 4 colour combinations too. Can’t wait till it gets here.

Then there’s a Mix and Mingle lip palette with lovely swirly patterns on it. Very pretty too although lip palettes aren’t really my thing. Beetrice wrote about it too previously so that makes 2 of us waiting to see it in person.

The Make a Sheen eyeshadow palette looks quite interesting too. I hope the colour is pigmented because the neutral earth tones look nice. Oh and that Pinch Me gel blush looks like a Benefit Benetint knock off? Interesting!

I also saw on another site that Revlon has a kabuki brush which isn’t on the main Revlon site. I’m not sure why. I’m always on the lookout for a good kabuki brush that isn’t too expensive so has anyone tried the Revlon Kabuki brush and have a comment to share?

I wonder when these collections will reach our Malaysian shores. Or if they ever will!

p/s This is NOT an April Fool’s joke! ;)

Stay beautiful,
