I’d had my eye on a few things from Revlon, and I generally like to wait until they have a good sale on
or a worthwhile promotion before I hand over the money. As luck would have it, Myer has a great gift with purchase (GWP) on right now until Christmas Eve, and you
get a choice of two metallic clutches filled with products when you spend over
$39.95. I chose to pick up the new Colorstay
Whipped foundation (150 Buff) as I’d read a few blog reviews and they
seemed positive, and I threw in the Colorstay
eyeshadow quad in Siren to bring
the purchase up to the correct amount. I ended up spending around $60 AUD,
which is not bad when you consider how much I got in the clutch as well.
I chose the blue clutch set as I like the look of the
palette and gloss more than the items in the other pack, even though that bag is
more attractive. Ever since the Colorstay
quads were released I’d had my eye on them, but since I’ve indulged in the
beauty that is high-end eyeshadows, I was afraid I would be disappointed with
the pigmentation. I haven’t had too much of a play around with them, but since
I received the Addictive neutral quad
and am now the owner of 2 palettes, I will be sure to let you know how I get
on. I was happy with initial instore swatches, so only time will tell. The Colorburst gloss in Orchid is a pretty purple toned pink filled with shimmer, and as a
lover of most Revlon lip offerings,
no doubt I will love this gloss and it will fall into my regular beauty line up
for summer.
The clutch also holds a Colorstay
nail enamel in 280 Blue Slate, a PhotoReady 3D Volume mascara in Blackest Black and a PhotoReady Perfecting Primer sample. The
clutches contents are valued at over $99, and I think it is a pretty good deal
if you are thinking of picking up something from Revlon anyway, or would like
to get a Christmas gift from there and pick up a bonus for your efforts!
If you were telling someone about Revlon and they had never
heard of them before, what would you recommend they try?
I've never been a purple girl, but lately it's all I've been wanting to wear. This FOTD was originally meant to be all about the gloss, but the pictures didn't do Funtabulous justice (a separate review of this bad boy is the plan) Here's what I used:
There was brown shadow on the crease brush from the day before, so when I used the Estee Lauder shade in the crease they mixed. I actually really like the effect, so left it. I also realise that I look a bit like a strange pixie in the first picture, but it's better than the other pictures from that day, so up it goes. Hope you enjoyed my FOTD, if you have any new ideas for them I'd love to see them=) Or link in the comment section if you've done a FOTD lately yourself, I'd love to see.
