First Impression: Revlon Color Burst Lacquer Balm!

 I picked up two Revlon Color Burst Lacquer Balms during my recent trip to the Drug Store. The looked pretty cool so I wanted to try them out. I picked up 145 Ingenue and 115 Whimsical Fantaisiste.


I picked up 145 Ingenue and 115 Whimsical Fantaisiste.

145 Ingenue is a dark nude color 

The gloss is like a retractable crayon. It it perfect for precise application.
A swatch of 145 Ingenue 
The formula is smooth an moisturizing but not too shiny. I would describe this color as the perfect nude for my skin tone, it isn't too light or too dark. These balms have a slight peppermint smell which is nice.I find this color to be more like a moisturizing lipstick. So this balm can be worn alone or with a little gloss on top of it.

A Swatch of 115 Whimsical Fantaisiste
This balm is a  true berry color. 

The texture of this balm is more moisturizing than Ingenue, and this one has specks of silver glitter. 
There is great color pay off for these balm which makes them a great value.

Available at Local Drug Stores $8.99

NYX HAUL!


I'm so excited about my new NYX Products! Reviews Coming Soon!



First Impression: Maybelline Baby Lips Lipbalm



I picked up the Maybelline Baby Lips  Dr Rescue Lip Balm from my local drug store last week. I choose the color Pink Me Up which is Rosy Pink Color.

The  Packaging


This lip balm is perfect because it moisturizes the lips by medicating them while adding a hint of pink color.



I also love that you get so much product in this lip balm.  The lip balm has a light mint smell because it is medicated.The texture is very light so it can be worn alone or under lip gloss. This is definitely one of my new favorite lip balms, I cant wait to try the other colors. 
                                                               
                                                       Available at Local Drug Stores $ 5.99
