The Beauty Buffs – Pink

The Beauty Buffs – Pink

Hey there! Did you think I was going to disappear again? Well, I have been extremely lazy as of late so I’m really trying to get my butt in gear. Today I’m posting with my fellow bloggers from The Beauty Buffs and our posts are all about pink today. Have I told you how much I love pink polish? I never thought of myself as a pink lover, but I just think that the color puts me in a brighter mood…especially hot pinks. The other day I was at Rite-Aid and I saw that they were selling the Revlon Parfumerie polishes for $1.49! I never picked any of them up when everyone was going gaga over them, so I couldn’t resist picking one of them to try out which is how I ended up with African Tea Rose.

12First of all, the color is pretty gorgeous. The formula was ok–it seemed kind of patchy so I applied 3 coats. I really loved the tea rose scent that this polish gave off once it started to dry, but it pretty much went away once I top coated it. Womp womp.

34I then applied 1 coat of Candy Lacquer Unicorn Bubbles just because I wanted to unicorn up my mani. What? It’s a verb, ok? I don’t use this fun glitter topper enough so I’ll be sure to put it in my regular rotation–as if that really exists. Once you have “a few thousand” polishes, there is no regular rotation. I feel like such a hoarder.

So what do you think of this mani? I hope that you like it because it just put me in a fun and sunny mood. Don’t forget to check out the other manis below for more pink overload. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon.

Because I Couldn’t Help Myself: More Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters

After purchasing two Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters at Ulta last week, I knew I wanted more colors after wearing them a few times. Last week they had a BOGO 50% off sale so I was hoping this was still going on. Lo and behold, they changed the promotion but now they are Buy 2 get 1 free. I went on the Ulta website and printed out their $3.50 off coupon and headed to Ulta hoping they still had colors I wanted.

I ended up picking up three colors: Red Velvet, Brown Sugar and Sugar Plum.

 

 

 

 

The best part of all: I paid $12.37 total for all three. Now don’t tell me that wasn’t a great deal!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters

I just had to jump on the Revlon Lip Butter bandwagon. I had heard so much about these lip butters–all of it positive. Plus, have you seen those ads with Emma Stone? Gorgeous! Anyway, I saw that Ulta was having a BOGO 50% off sale on Revlon products so I was tempted. Then I got the Ulta flyer in the mail with a $3.50 off coupon on a purchase of $10.00 or more, and I was out the door!

I only purchased two colors because I wanted to try them out first. I picked two colors: Lollipop and Fig Jam. There were a couple more that I wanted but they were sold out. I was excited about these being creamy and hydrating because I have really dry and chapped lips. I use Jack Black lip balm every single day especially when I go to sleep. There is no better hydrating balm than Jack Black.

My first impression is that the packaging is really cute…but then I try to open it. I hate that it’s so hard to pull up the cap. There is so little of the black base to hold on to that I quickly become annoyed by it. Once I open it up, I  really like the colors. Lollipop is a color that I don’t usually wear but I have a few lipsticks like NARS Funny Face that I wear when I want a bold color. Fig Jam is really a color that I can wear every day…and I usually do. It looks gorgeous.

 

I am definitely liking Fig Jam more than Lollipop. They are both extremely smooth and feel very hydrating on my lips. So far, I’m liking them a lot! I’ll have to wear them a little longer and see what the staying power is like. I am glad I picked these up and do think they are worth all the hype.
