Revlon Matte Balm in Audacious

Having loved the original Revlon Balm Stains and also a fan of mattes, I picked up a few colours of the Revlon Matte Balms. The formula is very creamy and glides on very well. Because its a matte, it can be a bit drying so you should make sure you prep your lips with some lip balm prior to applying this. You get amazing pigmented full coverage with the first swipe. It dries matte while feeling comfortable and does not feather or get patchy. It can emphasize some lip lines though. It lasts about 3 hours. They have the same minty scent that the original balm stains had. For photos and reviews of my matte balm collection, keep reading!

Revlon Matte Balm Swatches Audacious, Elusive, Sultry and Standout!

Are you keen to try a light-wearing water-based foundation that leaves a natural dew?


Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation is an award-winning foundation that claims to provide invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin. It has won several awards including the Beauty Bible Anti-Ageing Award 2013, Foundation for makeup phobics and made it to The Guardian Best Beauty Buys 2013. That's a pretty good resume, but does it deliver? Let's see!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15 Review!


It is quite refreshing to find a product that does what it says on the tin, and that list would include MAC Pro Longwear Foundation it actually does long wear. This is my first line foundation for long 13 hour shifts, hot humid environments, special occasions with albums of photo taking, times when I want my look to last all day. I've worn this to weddings, to the mountains, and even to the beach - its that heavy duty!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Darling

If someone were to ask me what my favourite and most recommended drug store lip products were, the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains would definitely be it. They are easy dupes for the famous Clinique Chubby Sticks. They are pigmented, nonsticky, glide well and adhere to the lips to provide a sheen and stain. They are long-lasting, and the crayon like shape means you don't have the hassle of requiring lip liners. They twist up so you don't need to sharpen them either. They also apply evenly. They have a minty smell that is non offensive, I actually like it. I had problems with the Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colours that had a similar smell - they made my lips flake. But not with these Revlon babies - they are perfect! I picked up a few (perhaps an understatement) of these lippies over the last few months, and here is a post on my entire collection of the original Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains!
