HAUL>>>Lippies & More

Hello beauties!! How's life treating you all. It's April & it's been so very long that I've done a haul. I don't really have time for too much shopping lately. That's a good thing since I save cash and use up my makeup reserves. 

First I picked up 2 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks from Bel Air Store, Marabella, in Demure & Sandalwood Beige. The day after I made the purchase I saw Blush Happy's blog post on her Sandalwood Beige find. I love that another Trini found love too!

Next, in one sweep I picked up a pair of Ms Makeup tweezers, one of their Blending Brushes, 2 New Revlon Lipglosses & a brush kit from Studio Basics (surprising considering I am not a fan of their regular brush kit).

Time for pics! 

Revlon Glosses in Strawberry (right) and Rose Pearl (left). 

I heard DulceCandy87 talk about how much she loves and obsesses over these in a video. She said she bought all, so when I went into the store and saw them glittering at me I had to have one...or tow. 

First impressions: I like the consistency & the applicator. Both colours are gorgeous but Strawberry is a little sheer for my liking. Both are great to top a lipstick.

This is the pair of tweezers I got. I have a pair from Avon (an old one from some Christmas/Holiday collection) but my father loves it as much as I do, so I needed a replacement. The Ms. Makeup line at S.pharm runs under $30 so I think low cost, bess tweezers are great! 

They are totally metal (the black is a plactic coating), well made and very sturdy. I just plucked a few strays in the car (I wasnt driving) as soon as I got them to test them out & I am definitely pleased. 

I bought another item from the same line, a Blending brush. I don't know if I've ever professed my love for this brush on this blog but it's definitely a favourite of mine. I absolutely love this for applying my highlight and then running the brush back and forth to blend the highlight shade downward. I have 1...you're lucky I didn't buy 10. 

This lovely baby is Revlon's Lustrous Lipstick in Demure. It is a cream formula with very fine shimmer and is a beige-y, pink-ish, nude-y shade. It doesn't leave very much colour on plain lips though.

This shade looks very similar to Demure but Sandalwood Beige is less pink and more...coral/peach. As the name says there is a predominant beige tone as like Demure. This is also a cream formula. See this post by Blush Happy to see more on Sandalwood Beige. 

Lastly is this makeup brush set from Studio Basics. It's said to be "Limited Edition"..probably just a marketing ploy. It's a 6 piece set including a clear makeup bag, a highlighting brush, a concealer brush, a mini concealer brush, a foundation brush and a small powder brush. The brushes feature pink handles and black ferrules. Really soft and sturdy right out the pack. We'll see how they preform and how they wash. 

Ok that's it. I have some more to do on the lip products I bought...I'll probably put swatches in my "Swatches" album on facebook--->here. I'm not saying the pics are up yet but they will be....at some point :-(

Until next time lovelies
