Candy Apple lips with Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter!

I have a strange love-hate relationship with drugstore lipsticks.  Sometimes they're just so drying and sometimes you stumble upon a really fantastic one.  Well, add this Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter to the love list!

The amazingly talented Muse from Musings of a Muse sent this to me when I won the Forsaken Shimmering Body Veil in her giveaway.  I'm glad she did because I'm not sure this is something I would've picked up for myself.

This lip butter provides very light coverage but I wouldn't say it's sheer.  The color is really beautiful - don't let the red bullet intimidate you.

This comes across as a really nice orangey-red flush on lips.  It's shiny and balm-like.  Seriously, my lips feels really hydrated when I wear this and the wear-time is really great - about 5 hours.

I'm so glad the Muse sent this to me because I totally would have passed this one over but it's now one of my favorites!  

I detect a slight fruit-punch scent but no taste.  The scent fades fairly quickly.

I'm going to say that you need this!  Seriously, it's awesome!  If this color isn't your thing, at least check out the other shades in this formula.

You can purchase HERE for $7.49.

Workplace-appropriate, neutral nails!

I've mentioned before that I'm lucky to work at a place that is pretty liberal in terms of clothing, hair, makeup, and nails.  Well, I have a fairly important meeting tomorrow so I need to wear something neutral on my nails.  What to do?!

   

Well, I asked my mom if I could borrow her bottle of OPI Bubble Bath.  This is my mom's Holy Grail product and it always makes me think of her when I wear it or see a bottle somewhere.  

Bubble Bath is a sheer, pinky nude color.  

There's no denying that this is a wonderful neutral that's appropriate for even the most conservative workplace.

My only problem is that it tends to get a bit sticky and thick. I couldn't get it to settle evenly.  I don't know how my mom makes it work but her application is always flawless and smooth!

My next choice was Revlon Nail Enamel in Crème Brûlée.  For some reason, I got a wonky bottle where all the writing was bunched together.  See the gold squiggly line?  Yeah, that's the text - lol!

This color is a shimmery, pale champagne color.  If you're not careful, you can end up with streaky brushstrokes.  Just apply sparingly and you'll be ok!

Crème Brûlée is the ultimate workplace-appropriate polish!  Seriously, you could wear this anywhere.

I ended up going with Crème Brûlée because I decided to wear a red top tomorrow.  I think pink Bubble Bath would look wrong with a red top.


You can buy Revlon Crème Brûlée HERE for $4.99.  You can find OPI Bubble Bath in Ulta stores.

You'll flip over Revlon Orange Flip

I think we can all agree that packaging makes a big difference when it comes to how we feel about a product.  However, as much as I hate the tacky green color of this lipstick tube I just have to love the product inside.

I'm talking about Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in 710 Orange Flip.  The product has a creme finish that I adore.  This lipstick just makes me soooo happy!

However, the tube reminds me of a grandma.  The gold band with the forest green?  Ick.  Just icky.

This tube does have a great design feature, though:  a clear top.  I think the thing I hate most about opaque tubes is not being to see the ACTUAL color from the outside.  (Of course, you can see the sticker on the bottom but how often is that actually representative of the color?)

Isn't the swatch gorgeous?  I think it's perfect on lips.  This is one of my go-to colors when I'm wanting a quick swipe of orange.

The formula is great and long wearing:  it's smooth and creamy without migrating into lip lines.

I bought my tube off of Amazon for $6.74 and it was eligible for free Amazon Prime 2-day shipping.  By contrast, the tubes were approximately $9.80 at my local CVS.  I love me some Amazon!

The tube is 0.15 oz.  I definitely recommend picking one up!
