Dessert sans calories with new Revlon Lip Butters in Tutti Frutti, Sweet Tart, Berry Smoothie capped with Sugar Frosting

Fans of Revlon Lip Butters, are you in for a treat! 4 new colours are entering the Malaysian market this month in 4 colour families including a very interesting orange. Orange! Tutti Fruitti is a straight orange and ah! I loved the idea of an orange lipstick as much as I loved the idea of an orange lipgloss! 😀

The 4 new colours available here are Berry Smoothie, Sweet Tart, Sugar Frosting and Tutti Frutti. Like the ones we got before, I found that although the Lip Butters are in effect that lipstick-lipbalm hybrid lipstick that is at once sheer yet moisturizing on lips, there are 2 different textures. One is more opaque so you get more colour and less shine and another is more sheer so you get more shine and less colour. The problem is, you just can’t tell by looking at the lipsticks which ones will swatch sheer or opaque!

Let me show you how they look.

Insta-Updates: Random makeup in my bag

This morning before I flew out the door, I rooted about in my bag to see what was adding to all that bulk and weight. And all these spilled out. Oops!

Hmm… its no wonder my bag was getting weighed down! In there were some random purchases I made over the past couple of weeks (yes WEEKS!) and also a couple of items I collected from makeup mule friends 🙂

Budget Beauty: 10 Things I love that cost under RM50

August 1, 2012 Paris B 62 Comments

budget buys under RM50

RM50, depending on how you look a it, can take you far (I could eat for a week on RM50!) or it isn’t very much. RM50 at today’s exchange rate is roughly S$20, £10, US$16 or €13. Yeah, once we do the math, it looks pretty pathetic LOL! 😛

Yet, RM50 can buy me some of my favourite beauty items or pick me ups, with change to boot! I know I talk a lot about department store brands and pricier (ok, expensive!) products on my blog. What can I say? Its a personal preference! 😉 But there are some affordable budget buys that I like too, and I thought I’d share them with you. I think RM50 is a nice budget friendly amount. Not hard on the wallet for most, and if you have a small budget or are a student it should be a good threshold.

I will pick up a group of items from time to time to tell you about the budget items I like that you could quite easily pick up without hurting your wallet too much. All items featured will cost RM50 or under. Take a look and chip in if you think there’s a budget buy I should be taking a look at 🙂

Affordably priced gem! The Revlon Photoready Primer will leave you primed and photo ready

July 25, 2012 Paris B 37 Comments

Revlon launched a couple of new items a while ago that garnered some interest. The first was a mousse style foundation and the second was a primer. I was more interested in the primer than I was in the foundation, primarily because I wasn’t too taken in by the concept of the latter. Still, I will share my thoughts on it later.

I thought I’d tell you first about the primer because a) I like it and b) I realised I’d previewed it about 2 months ago without follow up 😛 The Revlon Photoready Primers come in 2 types – 001 Photoready Perfecting Primer and 002 Photoready Color Correcting Primer. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the Revlon Photoready Color Correcting Primer in 002 because its simple – its the one I have 😀 This one is a pale lilac pink in the bottle and is meant to act both as a primer, filling up lines and pores to give you a smooth finish for your foundation to go on; and to provide a tint of colour to correct and brighten uneven skintone.

Whilst I think this primer does an ace job at acting as a primer, I am a little less impressed by its colour correcting claims.
