A Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Showy Review & 3 Amazing Ways to UseIt!

Recently I'm obsessed with hot pink colored lipstick because I have been somewhat brainwashed after seeing several Japanese models in magazines adorning them. Have been checking out every single brands I know for lippies of this shades before deciding to buy this Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Showy.

Besides reviewing this awesome balm, I will also be showing you the 3 awesome ways to use this Revlon Matte Balm! (⌒▽⌒)



 This Revlon Matte Balm is infused with a Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Mango and Coconut Butter that nourishes the lips. It has a pointy crayon tip which doesn't require sharpening and by twisting the silver cap, you can reveal more of it.

Here's how they turned up on me~



Somehow, only when I was editing the photos I realize the color didn't turn out as when I had applied it... It appeared more pinkish and lacking the original blue-ish tone? Not sure if it's from blotting some of the color off and reaction to my lip balm..

Here's the swatch on my hand and lip I took again which turns out closer to the real color.



Very vivid tone! So if you're all for bold colored lippies, this is definitely for you. Overall, I think this lip balm's pretty amazing but if there's one thing about this Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm that irks me, it would be the peppermint scent! Wish they hadn't come with it...

That's all for the review part. Well I did mentioned earlier that I would show you how to use this balm in 3 different ways. I have shown you one_on my lips, so here's the other two.

Another way to use it is by applying it on the cheek as blusher~!




It turned up pretty subtle and almost natural. And oh, these photos I took at another time and used different makeup (*⌒∇⌒*)

And the third, as an EYELINER!! Yes, you read this correctly!

Thanks to the crayon-like tip, smooth and not-so-sticky texture of this matte balm, drawing on your lids can't get any easier.




Though with my thick double eyelids I find the color tends to get on the crease so I applied it in C-shape the same you do when applying eyeshadow~

And there! The color actually turned out right when I used this Revlon Matte Balm on my eyes.



I actually got my inspiration from Popteen April 2012 issue where Tsubasa Masuwaka wore this somewhat matching hot pink lipstick and eyeliner (scans from Ekiblog).

Tsubasa Masuwaka featured on Popteen April 2012

Sorta remembered it because the cover of the issue featuring Tsubasa is super kawaii (*´∀`*)

Hope you enjoy the tips! ☆-(≥vO )

self portrait~

Halo!


Today I finally get to test out the DSLR camera my bro gave me. My Japanese class exam just over last Monday which went pretty well  hahaha. Now I got more time before my next class starts yayyヽ(⌒o⌒ )ノ


For the sake of camwhoring taking self-portrait, I put on some makeup LOL


Theme is sweet look so I'm using pink color eyeshadow for upper eyelids and for the bottom eyelid I line it with a red eyeshadow. This is the new spring makeup look (according to Japanese magazines la)!

Close up~~ Just realized my falsies came loose at the corner (=___= )


I still suck at applying them... *sigh*

Both the pink and red color eyeshadow is from my new Maybelline Hyper Diamond Eyeshadow in PK-1.

Dolly Wink Black Mascara & Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

Hello~

Will be reviewing this Dolly Wink  Mascara in #02 Volume and Dolly Wink Black Liquid Eyeliner~ I bought them previously during Tokyo Love Collection (Part 2) pop up store at Isetan KLCC.

Previously, I have also reviewed the Dolly Wink's False Eyelashes, also hauls from Tokyo Love Collection here.

Jyan~ this is what the products look like~~

(Reusing this photo 'cuz I've threw them away during cleaning up :/ )

Design wise, the packaging is really cute but the mascara and eyeliner bottles are a bit too boring compared to what they have for the brown mascara and single eyeliners. Wished the black mascara have been in much cuter shades..

#DollyWink #TsubasaMasuwaka #Japanese #Beauty #Cosmetic#DollyWink #TsubasaMasuwaka #Japanese #Beauty #Cosmetic

Now for the review of these products starting with the eyeliners~


Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Black





The thin brush helps to create smooth, fine lines. Some more, it's very easy to control and drawing closer to lash line is easy even for an eyeliner amateur like me (≥ v ≤ )

The result~




Also using this complementary Koji crayon eyeliner in black to line the upper waterline~




Here are swipes of the eyeliners (Up: Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner; Down: Koji Crayon Pencil) below. Also, did the waterproof test and result is the one on the right~



One of the con is that these eyeliners are not waterproof, especially the crayon liner which smudges onto my lower lids giving me panda eyes just after a few hours of applying :(( It didn't show much on this pic because the residue got washed away.


Dolly Wink Mascara


For the black mascara, there are options for either #01 Long or #02 Volume. I chose the latter because I prefer more visibly, thicker lashes.



This is the result after a few swipes~

From nada to super visible lashes!



Eyelashes appears much thicker without being overly clumpy (⌒o⌒ ) It's quite natural too, don't you agree? Also, this mascara's waterproof and didn't need much touching up at all!

The downside would be it takes more than 3 swipes to get the result above besides being super pricey.. I got this limited edition mascara & eyeliner set for RM78 compared to RM69.90 for mascara and RM59.90 for the liquid eyeliner if bought separately.

As for the complete look~



Nice or not?

Super like the berry color lipstick from dabbing a bit of fuchsia-color lipstick over my Candy Doll lipgloss in Milky Orange. Cheek color is from my new Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm. Yes, a lip balm (more about it in my following review)!

That's all for now. Chao~!
