A full coverage powder foundation? I had to try this out as soon as I saw it on QVC.  I believe it's a QVC exclusive item, I'm not exactly sure if this is coming out in stores or if it will be online only but it was definitely worth the purchase. 

New Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick & Gloss Review

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cognito (TOP), Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural (Bottom Left), and Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet (Bottom Right)

I was a bit sad to find out that the shades are not a dupe but are very similar in texture, glossiness, and in the same color family. Revlon's Pink Cognito is just a shade lighter but has the same luxurious quality that Estee Lauders' Crystal Baby. I hope to one day find an exact dupe since the price points of both of these products are in two different price spectrums for me. Revlon's lipstick is a mere $8.49 and on sale while Estee Lauders lipstick is $25.00. I would say that on my lips both are undetectably the same shade; however, swatted on my hand the Revlon is clearly a bit lighter while Crystal Baby is a bit deeper. If your on a budget, the Revlon lipstick would be the closest I've seen to a possible dupe to Estee Lauders' beautiful Crystal Baby lipstick. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet was what I thought a perfect match (in the tube) for MAC's gloss in Funtabulous, I was so wrong! On the tube it looks beautiful and appears to be a perfect match but when swatched you almost feel like it's a magic trick and someone has given you a different gloss wand. There is hardly any pigmentation and barely any of the fine glitter. Compared to MAC's incredibly pigmented the Revlon lipgloss doesn't live up to the beautifulness that appears on the tube. Unlike the other Revlon lip gloss, this one is a bit stickier and applies unevenly. Unless your applying this to a vibrant lipstick to give it a bit more gloss, I would pass on this shade and get  Wet N' Wild clear gloss and save your money. 

I truly love Revlon's products specially their lip products, unfortunately I was a bit dissatisfied with Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sugar Violet. The display had a wide range of glosses both glittery and creamsheene glass finishes, I am leaning more towards the creamsheene glass finishes as they are better pigmented and feel less sticky on the lips.

Ok, I normally don't care to save my Sephora Beauty Insider points unless I know there is something special that I find worthwhile saving for. Today was a hit for me, having to get a couple of things I noticed that the new 500 point reward changed... and for the better! This is one little gift I wouldn't mind having. 

Tarte's Amazonian Treasures Collection includes...

• Lights, Camera, Lashes! (0.10 oz) "This is one of my favorite mascara's that always seem to make it's way back into my mascara stash."
• Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow in Shimmering Moss (0.10 oz) "I've tried this one and love it!"
• Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Exposed (0.05 oz) "Outside from NARS, these Amazonian clay blushers are absolutely amazing; not to mention long-lasting."
• Pure Maracuja Oil (0.23 oz) "This is my go-to product for really dry skin and also as my pre-tweeze treatment. This makes eyebrow grooming an absolute breeze!"
• Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder (0.07 oz) "Not the best but not the worst finishing powder, great for travel."

All-in-all, if your close on your points or if your going to make a purchase, I would suggest saving and using the points for this little kit as it seems to be one of the better 500 perks I've seen in a while. 

Question...

Do you normally save your reward points or do you take the 100 point perks? Which do you prefer and why?

Cheers!

Ren's Sweet Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner has won me over the past week. Not only was I skeptical on how well this product would clean my hair, I was worried that it wouldn't condition my hair enough on the ends... I was so wrong about everything. You know the good ole saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover". This completely applies to this product. 

What I LOVE about this product:

- No Sulfates, Parabens, Dyes, Gluten, Phthalates, or Propylene Glycol

- Contains Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Keratin

-Smells AMAZING

- All-in-one product

- I feel like this has improved my hair immensely... I was ready to cut my hair all off thinking there was no hope left for my oily scalp and dry locks

- Doesn't leave my scalp feeling oily, instead it feels clean, volumized, shiny, soft and tangle-free!

- My ends feel hydrated without being weighed down

-Available at Walgreens stores

What I'm not so crazy about:

- If your used to suds, your going to find it really weird when you first use it. It's like washing your hair with lotion. You think it's not clean until your done. Weird feeling but you get used to it.

- You have to use a LOT of product if you have long hair

 If there is one thing I am horrible at, it's putting on eye liner. It's just one of those things i've always dreaded until I found the Physicians Formula Lash Boosting eyeliner. I've never had a steady hard, have always hard a hard time with brushes, gels, pencils, felt-tips, but this product just has the perfect brush along with the formula to die for! 

It looks like a felt tip but it's really a fine brush that's almost fool proof. I'm not sure why out of all the products this one is so easy to use but I think it's because it dispenses just the right amount of product for the brush to glide but not so much where you have a mess. Also the tip has such a fine end that you can reach the inner corner of the eye and the outer corner to wing out with ease. 

• Physicians Formula claims this product lasts 24 hours on, I agree. After testing this out vigorously even with oily lids and swimming, this product does last. 
• With a good eye makeup remover this comes off. 
• The brush applicator is AMAZING!
• The product can often be found on sale. Oh yeah!
• If you have a hard time or a newbie with eyeliner, I highly suggest you give this product a try.
