New! Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundation and Photoready Primer

Paris B 49 Comments

There’s something new on the shelves from Revlon – ok 2 new somethings – a mousse foundation and a primer. You should start seeing it roll out on shelves starting from the month of May.

The Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse makeup foundation is available locally in 4 shades, with 030 Nude being the lightest available here. The texture is that of a mousse. Literally! You squeeze the nozzle, and the mousse foams out and you then use this mousse to apply to your skin. It actually reminded me of the Shu Uemura UV Underbase mousse, except that this is a foundation while the Shu Uemura one is a primer.

I didn’t realise everyone was so crazy over the new Revlon Lip Butters! 😀 I ran a quick poll on Facebook and Twitter to see what I should post today and the overwhelming choice was the Lip Butters so here we are! 😀 I swear, sometimes, I think I live under a rock 😛

I’m bringing you just the Revlon Lip Butters in Strawberry Shortcake and Fig Jam because I think they are the two more interesting colours in the range, and 2 quite different textures so I can kill 2 birds with one stone 😉

I’ve got the low down on the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in my preview post so I’m not going to repeat all that. What I’m going to tell you about today is what I think about these lipbalm-lipstick hybrids that has taken the beauty world by storm.

New: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters Are In Town – Are you going to pick them up?

I had been reading so much about the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters on overseas blogs. The raves have been outstanding! These have been hailed from everything from the best lipsticks ever to the best tinted lip balms. Quite a large contrast there don’t you think?

Well ladies, the Revlon Lip Butters are finally here in Malaysia so we can work out for ourselves if they are really all that! 😀 I spotted these only at Watson’s pharmacies for now retailing at a pocket friendly RM25 each (I found out they are S$15.90 in Singapore – quite a bit more pricey after conversion!). I looked in a couple more pharmacies but didn’t see them – I’m told they are only officially due here in March 2012, so I guess Watson’s got a special preview or something 🙂

I have here 3 colours in different ends of the colour spectrum to try out. Barring the red one, the other 2 are quite a challenge but I intentionally picked up Strawberry Shortcake (pale pink) because I wanted to challenge myself to wear something out of my comfort zone! 😀

Revlon Age Defying Foundation With DNA Advantage is another firm favourite in my arsenal

Paris B 41 Comments

Many of you are probably quite familiar with my raves about the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation and its gel serum counterpart. But many will also bemoan the fact that this quite lovely foundation just isn’t available locally. Thing is, I may have found a local substitute 😀

But before you break out the pom-poms and cheers, I have to tell you that I hesitate to call this a substitute in a true sense, because I personally feel that this one’s a little more suited for someone with normal to dry skintypes. The foundation in question is the Revlon Age Defying Foundation with DNA Advantage Cream Makeup SPF20.

You may have noticed this in our local pharmacies – the red capped foundation bottle with the helix within the clear plastic case is quite eye catching. I must say at this juncture that I have had pretty good experiences with Revlon base products in the most part. In fact, were I to be asked to recommend a base (whether powder or liquid) easily available at the pharmacies, I’d almost always point you to the Revlon counter. Their products just work well for me, and the Age Defying DNA Advantage Cream Makeup is no exception.
