Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Red Velvet

Excuse Me...You've Got Some Red Velvet On Your Lips

Oh Revlon lip butter...how I love thee:)  You make my lips so nice and juicy.  Okay enough of my jibber-jabber let's get to the review and pics. 

Like the Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie, I would also describe Red Velvet as a tinted lip balm on steroids.  It leaves a great wash of color on the lips and also moisturizes.  If you are someone who doesn't like a matte red lip or you hate the feel of lipstick this product is for you.  Its gives a great amount of color and also gives the lips a slightly wet look.  It looks as if you are wearing a gloss but without the sticky feeling.  The shade is perfect for fall and the upcoming holiday season.  Its a deep red that I think will suit a variety of skin tones. 

Since this is more of a tinted lip balm it will not leave a strong stain so reapplication is necessary after food or drink.  Its definitely not a long wearing lipstick. It is however perfect for day time use and for a fun night out.  Before applying this I would recommend exfoliating the lips and if you have mature skin try it out at home to make sure there is no bleeding on the lip lines.  You can also try applying lip liner to extend the wear time.  I think everybody's different so you have to learn what works best for you.

Revlon Raspberry Pie ColorBurst Lip Butter

Shiny Berry Lips for Fall
*Purchased

Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie ($7.49 for 0.09 oz.) is a medium dark berry pink with loads of shine.  I would basically describe this as a tinted balm on steroids.  This stuff packs a punch.  Its super pigmented and the color pay off is better than any other tinted balm I've ever used.  When I tested this out, I was suffering from severe dry lips and I'm happy to say that this stuff is really moisturising.  I definitely saw my lips increase in volume due to the moisture from the lip butter.

I would still suggest exfoliating before wearing this and if you have mature lips I recommend using a lip liner to prevent feathering.  I have rather small lips and I did find it kind of tedious to apply because of the oval lipstick shape.  I guess I'm just one of those girls who likes the tradition pointed lipstick bullet.  This is definitely one of those lipsticks you need to apply with a mirror or else you could end up with a clown face.  Since this is a highly pigmented balm and it glides very easily on the lips, the wear time will be shorter.  Its not a long lasting lip color.   The end result is a very shiny lip so if your looking for matte berry stain, I would not suggest this particular product.  If glossy plumped up lips is your goal then this is your lipbutter:)  

I was searching around in my makeup bag and I think I found a decent lip pencil match:  NYX Lipliner Pencil in 836 BLOOM.

JustFab Haul: VISIONARY & LAW

New Fall Handbags!

Hey guys, I got my first JustFab order in the mail today.  I decided to purchase Visionary in purple and Law in black.  I'm so excited because Visionary is a deep purple color perfect for fall and black is a color that never goes out of style.  I love how they both come with a long strap so you can convert them into shoulder bags or crossbody bags.  Visonary also comes in basic black and a trendy gray color!  I actually gifted my Mom the black and gray Visonary bags because there's no way I can afford a Hermès Birkin but I thought this would be a super classy alternative that is in my budget range;)  Here's a sneak peek...

Fall Fashion

Some Of My Favorite Fall Flats



These are just some flats I pulled out today most of my shoes are back home in US. I absolutely loooooove fall fashion and bundling up for the cold. I know the yellow flats are a bit spring-ish but I just love them too much and I don't want to retire them to the closet!! I'm gonna rock them cause I'm currently in Mumbai, India and the coldest it'll probably get here is 78 degrees lol.

I'm guessing you noticed that Mango seems to be my favorite brand for flats. Actually the reasons why I buy them are (A) They were all bought from Mango stores here in India (B) I know the quality is good and they won't go wonky on me (C) I have wide feet and finding a pair of flats that are flattering is super hard so when I find a pair I buy it in different colors. Do you know of any flattering and comfortable flats for wide feet?! If so please suggest some cause I'm always on the look out:) Lotsa Luv!
