Maybelline shine seduction lipgloss review - in #410 Apricot Aura & #120 Blissful Blush


Hello again dearest beauty bunnies! :)

Today i shall review Maybelline shine seduction lipglosses in the shades:

Apricot Aura
Mauve Dream
Blissful Blush
Bitten Plum
Magic Sunset

From L to R: Apricot aura, Apricot Aura (yes i bought two :D ), Bitten Plum, Mauve Dream, Blissful Blush, and Magic sunset

Iwill just review my experience with Apricot Aura & Blissful blush (which are my favourites) or else i'll end up with a very very long review and a lot of homework procrastination.

Here goes...



Apricot aura is a peachy, light pink gloss with some gold shimmer in it. It's a very warm color, and would look gorgeous in spring or summer.

Ratings:

Pigmentation ★★
Long lasting ★★★✰✰
Smell/Taste ★★★★★
Packaging ★★★★✰
Formula ★★★★✰

PROS:

☺ Beautiful color! looks absolutely amazing and i always use this on top of a nude lipstick
☺ The formula is not sticky at all, and the consistency is really nice and smooth
☺ Packaging is unique and sleek, and you can control really well how much product you get

CONS:

☹ Not very long lasting, the gloss did wear off for me in a few hours, but the tube is very handy so not a problem to carry and reapply :)
☹ Although the packaging is interestingly different, i find myself not liking the plastic applicator. To apply it, you need to twist a clicker that pushes product out of a slanted plastic applicator with holes. When i used it, the holes actually took some of the product back into the tube, which got a little annoying :l
☹ Color is a little sheer. The pigmentation isn't that great, which is why i usually wear this on top of a lipstick.

Blissful Blush is a pale pink (with a hint of lilac) color with very fine shimmer. Looks very subtle and im sure it would compliment nearly every skin tone.

With all of the ratings & pros and cons above, this shade is probably a cooler color. It also has a more noticeable fragrance, kind of like watermelon and sunblock. But i personally like the fragrance.

SWATCHES!

Swatches on my lips without anything else on and in natural lighting :)

First post! ♥

Hello everyone! :)

My name is Cee and welcome to my blog!

I think a blog is fantastic for me to share my obsession with makeup :D! I'll be posting product reviews, haulages, maybe some vlogs, and pretty much anything makeup related ;)

Most of the reviews i will be doing will be based on my own experiences, and i know different makeup products might work for some people, but maybe not others, so please keep in mind that what works for me, might not work for you.

Also remember to subscribe to me if my blog is helpful :) i would really appreciate it! And do feel free to leave me a comment making any suggestions or feedback.

I might also get a youtube channel started so i can do corresponding videos to every blog post - or if too lazy to type up a blog post ;P

Bye for now,

Cee

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Ginger Rose & Soft Silver Rose

Helloooo fellow beauty bunnies! :)
Today i shall be reviewing 2 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks in GINGER ROSE and SOFT SILVER ROSE


REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS CREME LIPSTICK - GINGER ROSE (#131)
★★★★✰

Ginger Rose (#131) is a creme lipstick and the color is exactly what you'd expect it to be - a nudey, gingery rose shade with warm undertones!

RATINGS!

Pigmentation ★★★★★
Long lasting ★★★✰✰
Smell/Taste ★★★★★
Packaging ★★★★✰
Formula ★★★★✰

PROS:
Very rich & creamy, color glides on really smoothly
Natural looking!
Very versatile color, would work with pretty much any complexion and would go fantastically with a smokey/neutral eye.
There wasn't an obviously detectable fragrance

CONS:
It can feel a little too creamy/thick on the lips. You definitely won't need a second coat for this.
This lipstick is definitely one of the top ones in the drugstore - definitely recommend ;)

SWATCHES!
In natural light

Without flash

Natural lighting


REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS PEARL LIPSTICK - SOFT SILVER ROSE (#430)
★★★

Soft Silver Rose (#430) is a gorgeous, bright-ish frosty pink with cool undertones.

RATINGS!
Pigmentation ★★★★★
Long lasting ★★★
Smell/Taste ★★★★
Packaging ★★★★✰
Formula ★★★★✰

PROS:
Really pretty rose color, a very sweet and feminine pink with a nice sheen to it.
Quite creamy, nice & easy to apply
Pretty longlasting

CONS:
Definitely not an everyday wear lipstick, the color is not subtle so would probably be good for a special day :)
I've seen some pretty negative reviews on this lipstick because some people can't "pull it off". I would recommend you try this color before you buy it, because lipstick can be different to everyone, and this color probably does work better with some complexions more than others.

SWATCHES!
