There are a lot of lovely new things at the drugstore right now. Without really doing it on purpose, I realised that I have recently picked up quite a few new goodies from Revlon so I thought I would give you a little first impressions/mini review (also bonus points to me for picking colors that all look good together, that was complete accident I swear!).
Revlon Photoready Eye Art in Fuschia Flash- $9.99
Even though I've been dying to get my hands on one of these I actually almost walked by the display at Ulta because in my head I was thinking that they were the nail art duos instead. The packaging for the eye art is almost identical to their nail duos, but I don't mind. I like how you can really see the colors through the glass packaging. The display was pretty picked over so I ended up getting the color Fuschia Flash, which is not necessarily I color I would normally gravitate towards for eyes but it has kind of won me over. Revlon is marketing that these can be used for lid, line, and lash. One one end you get a shimmer (light pink) and on the other end you get glitter (bright fuschia). So far I have gotten a lot more use out of the shimmer. This is a really gorgeous pink that catches the light really beautifully. I find the glitter a little chunky and definitely more appropriate for a big night out or a holiday party. I really like the lasting power of this product and I feel like it could be really versatile. The applicators are also pretty good, the shimmer side is larger making it easy to apply to the lid and the glitter side has a small thin brush (almost like a lip brush) that makes it easy to line. I remember wearing liquid eye shadow when I was younger, so this product makes me feel a little nostalgic.
Revlon Photoready Kajal Matte Eye Pencil in Matte Charcoal- $9.99
Kajal is having a major moment in beauty right now (I might be doing a Kajal liner post in the near future). Of all the Kajal eyeliners I've tried, I think that this one is one of the best in terms of staying power. I wore it on my lower lash line during a night out recently and it held up pretty well. I also like that it's a thin pencil. As with most Kajal liners it glides on really smoothly. I almost always pick up eyeliners in black, but since they were all out of the coal color I went with charcoal and I really like it (the lesson here is to try new things). It's a great grey liner to have in your collection. The pencil also comes with a sponge smudger on the other end which can always come in handy.
Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer in HD Garnet- $7.99
I always think to myself that I really don't need another lip gloss (which is true), but I had been hearing a lot of buzz on the blog-o-sphere about this one so I decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad I did. First of all, this gloss has fantastic coverage. I would describe it as sort of a gloss/liquid lipstick hybrid. It's really light and shiny like a gloss, while still having great coverage and pigmentation like a lipstick. Also, the packaging is sleek and simple with a cute little diamond on the top of the lid. I like the thin brush applicator, it makes it easier to get the color exactly where you want it. Once again, this is not a color I would normally pick but for some reason I just grabbed for it when I saw it on the shelf. I feel like it's a totally wearable deep fuchsia that is perfect for the winter.
I hope you enjoyed this little mini revlon haul! Let me know if you have tried any of these.
