NOTD: Revlon Plum Seduction

Revlon Plum Seduction £7.99

I figured I hadn't done a nail post in a while and after wearing this colour the last few days I decided now would be the perfect time to review Revlon's Plum Seduction. I haven't had this colour too long after purchasing it on a whim a couple of weeks ago but I absolutely adore it!

To me, this is a great transitional colour from Winter to Spring, a mid-toned purple pink that is perfect for brightening up an outfit without being too in your face. As always with Revlon I find application to be super easy and opaque - this one only taking two coats. It lasted around four days on my nails which is great for me because I try to change my nail polish about twice a week to stop myself getting bored. The finish was also nice and glossy and I'd highly recommend it for any time of year :)

Review: Revlon Colorburst Lipglosses

Before I found these I literally couldn't bare to wear any lip glosses ever. After trying different formula's from Barry M to MAC I found I hated how sticky and uncomfortable the majority were. All I wanted was a light, no hassle everyday lip product and I definitely found it in the Revlon Lipglosses. 

L-R Bellini, Pink Ice, Strawberry, Fire, Sunbaked, Bordeaux

First off, I love the packaging. It's actually pretty similar to the Chanel Glossimers and for a drugstore brand I think Revlon have the sleek packaging down. Secondly, I love that the light Vanilla scent these have isn't really overpowering, there's definitely nothing worse than finding a lovely product with a disgustingly strong, synthetic scent!

In terms of formulation, they are so comfortable to wear that I barely notice I'm wearing them. The nude glosses (Bellini and Pink Ice) are so flattering for everyday wear for someone who doesn't really suit nude lipsticks and they are all so so pigmented, as you will see in pictures below! The applicator is a flat doe-foot which makes it easy to cover your lips in two easy swipes which is always great when you're on the move.

 

Top Left to Bottom Right - Bellini, Pink Ice, Strawberry, Fire, Sunbaked, Bordeaux
Usually £7.99 but £5 at the moment in Boots!

They all vary in finishes with shades such as 'Strawberry', 'Bordeaux' and 'Pink Ice' appearing glittery in the tube. However I must comment that once on the lips, it really isn't very noticeable at all in look or feel of them. 'Bellini', 'Sunbaked' and 'Fire' don't contain any shimmer so if it is something that worries you, I'd go for one of those shades instead. It's hard to choose a favourite and I really have been impressed with all six shades I own but if I had to go for one I'd say 'Pink Ice' for being such a wearable shade with any make up look but I would highly recommend any of these shades, Papaya is next on my list!

2012 Favourites: Lips

Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss (One shown in 'Pink Ice') - This is cheating a bit but this lipgloss is a representation of all this range, this one being my favourite. I was never a lipgloss girl until I tried Revlon's as they apply beautifully and don't feel sticky or uncomfortable on the lips. They are also so pigmented, far more than any high end lipgloss I've tried and I love the packaging. Definitely one worth trying before you write off lipgloss entirely!

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose - This again is my favourite shade of the range but all these lip butters are incredible. They are what I wear if I'm going for a simple look or my lips are extremely dry and I find these work better at moisturizing my lips than any other I've tried, including Blistex and Vaseline. This one in particular comes out a natural deepish pinky red and I honestly wouldn't be without these.

MAC Lipstick in Plumful - First off, I apologize for all the MAC in this 'top 5'! I'd be lying if I said they weren't my favourite lipsticks. This one is particular I got about 9 months ago as I much prefer deeper shades on me. It actually comes out lighter than it looks in the bullet, more of a berry shade which I love. I also really enjoy the lustre formula, it's one of my favourites along with the finishes of the next two

MAC Girl About Town - This is my go to lipstick for a night out (as you can probably tell by how much it's melted, oops!) that I find works so well at making a statement without looking ridiculously overdone. It comes out a fuchsia pink with blueish undertones and I am yet to see this on someone and it not suit them.

MAC Charmed I'm Sure (LE) -  Sorry to include something LE but I couldn't not speak about this lipstick. It has fast become one of my all time favourite MAC shades and my favourite red shade ever. I think because it leans slightly pink it's just so flattering, I have problems wearing really blue toned reds as they just look too much on me for some reason but this is a perfect neutral red that I'd recommend anyone snatching up if you have a chance! The only colour that's meant to be slightly similar is Ruby Woo, which I may try if I ever use this up!
