Revlon Colourburst lip butter

Now, I know that Revlon lip butters have been a holy grail for many a bloggers make up bag. However, even though Revlon is a well established brand and loved by many I have never actually used their products or am a loyal returning customer to the brand.

in this photo I am wearing seventeen BB cream in shade medium, L'oreal infalliable powder, Revlon colourburst lip butter and Rimmel mascara.

However this all changed once I picked up this lip butter in boots as they were offering a buy one get one half price promotion. Oh my sweet baby jesus, why did I wait so long?! Never again my blogging buddies, will I ever ignore your judgement on a miracle product!

I am in love! It goes on like a dream, is so soft and moisturising but with great colour pigmentation and a lovely glossy sheen. Usually with some lippies I have to apply lip balm before hand but not with this little beauty! And the colour lasts forever and doesn't fade so you are left with what looks like dodgy lip liner. This is in shade Red Velvet. At first I was a tad apprehensive as it seemed too dark for summer but it is a perfect shade, and seeing how I have a tan from my holiday in Portugal it compliments my skin tone perfectly. I think it will be a great shade for the A/W season and will fit with that whole Heidi Slimane grunge look for YSL.

A wonder product that I would recommend to everybody, and I seriously need to invest in more shades.

Any recommendations for what shade I should try next? Or anything else from the Revlon brand that I might be swayed to try?

Blog sale featuring L'oreal, Illamasqua, Armani, Rimmel and lots more!

I'm having a wee blog sale. Being a skint student still on the job hunt (which is so hard, I have been trying everywhere and to no avail) so i'm selling off a lot of my stuff. I have an ebay page too if you would like to have a nosey.

All payments are to be made by PayPal, so leave a comment below with what you would like or email me below at niamhg23@live.co.uk because that is my PayPal address.

I will send all items 2nd class Royal Mail p+p. I will try and add as many items in the one parcel to keep the postage down. This will cost £2.60. If you would like it recorded then this will have to be extra. The books will be £3.00 and again, I will try to fit everything into one parcel to keep costs down.

If you are buying just single jewellery items then this will cost 90p (except the bangles due to the size and weight of them) with any extra items at 20p each. Again, if there will be multiple items then I will have to put it into a parcel which will cost £2.60.

A lot of my items are new and unused. Those that have been used have only been used once or twice, the foundation has really only been swatched as they are the wrong shade for me and are basically full. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I am open to an offers or a combined price for multiple items.

Enjoy xx

17 Falsifeye mascara

I love this mascara ! I orginally had it in brown/black and I loved how it gave some drama to everyday lashes but would not wear it on a night out. Now however, I picked it up in their blackest black and it really does deliver on the length and volume!


What 17 say:

"Falsifeye your lashes from root to tip for a false lash look that lasts all day. Now available in blackest black for even darker oh faux fabulous lashes!"


On the pictures I have given below it is on a dry eye with no eyeliner etc just the mascara to try and show the full effect, so once I have eyeshadow and eyeliner on for a night out the effect is going to be dramatic!
The first two pictures is with only one coat of mascara on and there is some great lengthening and darker pigmentation to the lashes which I always look for.


The pictures that follow (after the image of the mascara and wand) show two coats of mascara and you can see they are so much thicker and darker and does give the effect of fuller, almost false look lashes.
I absolutely loathe fake eyelashes, I just don't like them at all so I'm always out on the hunt for a dramatic mascara and I'm so impresses with 17 as I would usually tend to turn to max factor for big lashes. I did however, loved 17's Photo flawless mascara (here) with the pigmentation that is meant to brighten the colour of green eyes, although I never noticed that my eye colour seemed brighter I loved the mascara and especially the wand as you really had to curve and wiggle the brush to get the most amazing effect ever, reminded me of old Hollywood siren lashes.


I bought this mascara in boots when there was an offer on for any two 17 products for £6.00 which was brilliant as I also picked up their BB cream in light (here) which I love to mix with my estee lauder double wear foundation for a lighter, every day look. It doesn't give the right coverage for me to use on my own as I have quite problematic skin.


For the link to the mascara click here


Overall, I am very impressed with this mascara that does have great lasting power throughout the day and I've never noticed any smudging. I think I will only repurchase the blackest black again as it seems to be my new favourite mascara for going out now!


Let me know what you think :)
