My Perfect Nude Lipstick

Being a fair skinned person, I find it hard to find a nude lipstick that matches my peachy lips.  I've tried several different nude lipsticks but they never really matched my natural lip colour.  However a couple months ago I finally found two nude lipsticks that match my lips really well!  One is more peachy, and one is a bit more pink than the other.  I absolutely love both of them, and wanted to share them with you guys!

This Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle, is the perfect nude lipstick for me.  It is the perfect amount of peach, and keeps my lips moisturized all day long.

Mac's Hue lipstick is another great nude for me.  It's more pink than Revlon Lip Butter, however it isn't too pink.  I love having another nude option with a bit of colour in it.



I hope all you fair skinned girls find this helpful!  What's your favourite nude lipsticks?

Product Review: Revlon Lip Butters

 
I am back with another product review! Yay! I am sure you have heard of these before and if not this is the perfect time for me to share my views on the product. We are going to do this one a little different than normal. I am going to do the normal pro con format but then I am going to go into detail with the four colours that I currently own, that way you can give them a go! So here we go...

Price:  $6 (Canadian) they are universally the same price everywhere I go.

Pros: I love that it gives you amazing colour to your lips without drying out your lips. It really makes you feel as though you are actually helping them. I also love the selection of colours they have. Literally everything from nudes to the deepest of reds. Plus the price isn't too shabby.

Cons: I find that occasionally, depending on the condition of my lips one application is good, but it doesn't last too too long, maybe 2 hours then it still has a hint of colour but it isn't as vibrant and when I go to put more applications on, often its better to wipe it off completely and start again because it doesn't go on even for me the second or third time. 

Final Verdict: I would definitely buy these again. I plan on expanding my little collection soon, but I am trying to curb my spending for a wee while. I would definitely suggest going and picking one up if you haven't already!

Now let's get colourful!!

Now this is one of my more nude colours. It is Creme Brulee (095), I wanted this so if I had a more casual look or even wanted to tone down my lips a little (I have very red lips naturally) I could use this. It looks very brown in the tube but when applied it just dulls down the red in your lips and adds a slight shimmer, which I find to be really stunning.

My second colour is Sugar Frosting (005) which is a really soft pink colour. I find this is one of the ones I have application troubles with. It is a really nice pink on and I really like the colour on me, again like Creme Brulee if I want to tone down my lips and go for a softer look.

I picked up this colour recently and it has to be my favourite. It is Sweet Tart (090) which is almost a hot pink colour and I am in love with it. It's application is always smooth and the colour stays vibrant the longest for me. I usually wear it with a really subtle eye, usually I mix sin from the naked palette into my eyes so I keep with a pink theme. By far though if you are looking for a pink colour you have to add this to your collection.

Lastly is Tutti Frutti (015) which I mentioned in my April favourites video. I picked this one up early on in April and it took me FOREVER to find. It is worn by Emma Stone in the ads (it says so on the ad above the display) so I figure many people picked it over because of that. This is an amazing orange colour, that I am loving for the summer. It isn't the brightest of orange but if you don't want to go too bold with your lip, this is perfect. Again like Sugar Frosting, it doesn't apply well the second or third time, but that I can pardon.

I hope you enjoyed this little review. Let me know, have you ever tried Revlon Lip Butters? What are your thoughts? Leave me a comment!

Beauty Haul

Hello everyone! I recently took a trip to the drugstore and may have gotten a little carried away with some beauty products. I decided that I would try not to only just say what I got but give a mini-review. Some of the things I purchased however can't really be given a proper review until I have used it a few times. Enjoy!

Aussie Moist Shampoo & Conditioner - I change my hair routine often and I always want to try new products and I recently asked what shampoo you all were using and I read some other blog posts about what the best drugstore shampoo and conditioner were and aussie came up on everyone's list. I have only used it once and so far so good, I won't be able to see the full effects for another few weeks though. I picked up both for $3.99.

Montagne Jeunesse Face Tonic - I recently watched Fashionrocksmysocks favourites video and she mentioned the Montagne Jeunesse  masks and while browsing the store I saw them in a small box, I figured what the heck I'll give it a go. I tried it just before writing this and I quite liked it. It had a subtle tingle and once I removed the mask my skin looked brighter. The nice thing is they aren't expensive so it would make for a nice treat. I picked this mask up for $1.99. 

Jergins Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer - Summer is approaching quickly and I am still white as a ghost, and I do love being fair but it gets sickly at times. I have had bad experiences with self tanning lotions and I decided I'd give the foam a try. I only want a light glow, just to give myself some colour. I won't be able to say whether this is working for another week or two (I am very fair) but so far no streaks or orange bits, but it has that awful self tanner smell... if you can't get over that this isn't for you. I picked this up for $10.99.

Revlon Lip Butter - I am obsessed with Revlon Lip Butters, I find that they are quick to add some colour to your lips and they don't dry them out either. This is my fourth lip butter and I don't want to say too much because I do want to write a full review on them. I picked up this lovely pink shade in the colour 090 Sweet Tart for $6.97.

Freeman Facial Anti-Stress Mask - I am a huge fan of skin care and because I struggled for so long and tried so many different brands before finding what worked I will occasionally pick up something I have never gotten before. This was inexpensive so I decided I'd get it. I haven't had a chance to try this but it smells divine and the texture of the mask is slightly exfoliating but is very thick, similar to a clay mask. I picked this up for $4.79 BUT they are having a mail-in rebate for Canadian residents so I got to try it for free!

President's Choice Face Scrubbie - I have never had a face scrubbie and I picked up this one and used it today and really it just helps, for a lack of a better term, lather your face wash into your face, I am not sure if this will benefit me, but we will wait and see. I picked this up for $2.99.

Secret Scent Expressions - I only got this because it caught my eye while picking up toothpaste and razors and they were having a 50% off sale. I browsed through all the scents and I found that Truth or Pear was the one that most appealed to me. It was a really fresh scent and I can just throw it into my bag for a quick freshen up. I picked this up for $3.47.

Sorry that I may have gone a little overboard with the amount of products and maybe the description. Hope you all enjoyed and I hope that I maybe showed you a new product that you may want to try!
