Revlon lip butter lipstick review (candy apple)

Ingredients list

This lipstick is a new generation of lip colour and balm. It goes on nice but you have to press a little bit the balm against your lips because the formula is not too creamy as other lipsticks are, otherwise, just with one stroke on my lips are already coloured. I chose the shade "candy apple" which is a vibrant red and it has no shimmer! it's very hard to find lipsticks without shimmer, I like them matte or just with a glossy finish, I'm afraid I'm not a fan of shining shimmery lipsticks and blushes. After a couple of hours wearing it, my lips get a red tint, so basically this butter lipstick doesn't fade away completely after 2 or 5 hours, like what happens with other tinted lip balms, and I like that! Seems like this is the perfect lipstick but...what really disappointed me was the small amount of product of 2.55g, and for it you're paying almost $8.00, that's absurd :/ I wouldn't mind about the price if the lipstick would include at least 4g of product, but...nah...
Another fact is that, although your lips tent to get a nice and lasting tint, the moisture effect disappears after 5-7hours, so I have to been applying lip balm over my lips to keep them moisturised. I didn't feel any kind of smell with this lipstick neither flavor.

That's the whole amount of product.

RATING: 8.3 I like it, but I'll only buy it if there's a 10% off or something, The concept of the brand is good but it's so little amount of product :( and I'd like it to be more silky like the baby lips from maybelline. What do you think about these lip butters? please leave your comment :)

Valentine's haul: Physicians formula sexy booster blush &more.


Hello my gorgeous! It's almost valentine's!! So here I come to show you my mini beauty haul for this month (I'm also in a low budget hehe). First I'm gonna start with:

 1. Physicians formula sexy booster blush in natural.

Remember the happy booster? well now the sexy booster blush is my spoiled one!! this blush is amazing! the colour is just right what I was looking for, 90% matte with 10% of shimmer (the figure of the high heel is the part where is concentrate all the shimmer). It's like a salmon-coral pink that looks as if I'm not wearing a blush at all, because it gives to my cheeks a healthy and natural glow, as the one I get after jogging. The part I like the most, it's the smell! every time I apply it on my cheeks I notice the wonderful scent of sweet vanilla, even my boyfriend has told me that my cheeks have a nice smell. The brush that comes within the packaging is  much better than the one that comes in the happy booster; this brush has very smooth bristles and it's nice to combine the matte pink with the shimmering high heel. The price (between$13-$15) is ok for 5.5g of product and the high quality of the blush. Other fact I forgot to mention is that the blush contains "pheromones" mimicking ingredients such as androstadienone. Let me explain you this: In our hormonal metabolism (in women) the hormone androstadienone is the one who is able to "transform", with the help of many enzymes, in estrone, a very popular estrogen. So basically you're putting in your cheeks estrogen and that's the "pheromones effect" that the blush claims to give you. Does it works? well...try it with your lovely partner :) All I have to say is that my bf did notice the scent of vanilla in my cheeks <3


The silver shimmer of the heel fades away once you swept the brush over the blush.

2. Bath and body works body lotions

I'm terrible describing scents and lotions but these ones caught my attention, not only because of the romantic look of them but also because of the smell, "cherry blossom" has something of sexy and sophisticated in it and "paris amour" has a more cute-innocent smell with a touch of flirt. I chose the little ones 'cause I like them having in my purse, but I guess I'd buy the 200ml presentation of the paris amour. They smell so nice and are just perfect for being flirty this season :)


I'll post soon the second part of my valentine's haul, the OPI nail lacquer and the revlon lip butter. Please feel free to leave your comment or any idea you have for my blog :)

PF Lash boosting eyeliner+Serum Review (&Tip to avoid eyelash fall)

Hellooo cuties! This liquid liner from Physicians formula claims to improve the growing of your eyelashes and within 2 weeks you'll see them longer. I've been using it for about 3 months and I did notice a progress in my lashes. when I was in high school (many light years ago) I used to sleep with my eyeliner on (BIG MISTAKE!!DON'T EVER DO IT) and as the time was passing by I start to notice that my eyelashes were falling off :( I did so wrong, I knew nothing about taking my makeup off and I did pay the consequences. After this reflection I began to remove every night my eyeliner with a mild eye makeup remover, then I stopped using eyeliners with toxic ingredients (like PEG's, BHA hidroxyanisole, petroleum, etc) and waterproof based, because those are the ones who are more harmful to your eyelashes (if you don't take them off correctly).
So my friends, try to avoid these kind of eyeliners or use them not so often (the ones who are not waterproof are better) and ALWAYS take off your eyeliner with a mild eye makeup remover (biphasic for sensitive eyes); but if you want something more soothing and natural to your lashes, use 1.5 tsp of extra virgin olive oil dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water to remove your mascara and eyeliner with a cotton pad; instead of distilled water you can use drinkable water, both of them are meant to be pure; the distilled one is even more pure and you can find it in drugstores and pharmacies. Always ask your doctor if you're taking medication for your eyes or if they're too much sensitive!
Also don't forget to check out the list of ingredients of the eyeliners you buy. This website will help you to find those nasty ingredients and so you'll be buying safety cosmetics :) http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/top-tips-for-safer-products/

I discovered this eyeliner, first of all because Physicians formula it's my favourite makeup brand (they don't use toxic ingredients and they're cruelty free yeiii) and then 'cause I was desperate for my lack of lashes; so I gave it a try. I wasn't disappointed! I start noticing that my little lashes were coming back, of course I'm still not so privileged of having camel lashes (wich are XXXL size) but they're coming back and that's what matters :) It takes some patience to see the result but it worth it. oh yes....patience my friend...
Let's score this liner!

You can see the cracking of the eyeliner due to over applying it. (read below)
  • This liquid pen-eyeliner goes on easily and it's perfect for begginers. 
  • I did notice a improve in my lashes after 3 months of using it. 
  • It's water resistant and long lasting. It doesn't fade away, unless you rub your eyelids like a maniac.
  • It doesn't irritate my eyes at all.
  • The color black is perfect, with a slight vinyl finish and it's very very black. 
  • Makes a thin line for those who likes sober eyes, but bold lines are harder to make due to the fine felt tip, and if you over apply it for a bold line, it tends to crack.
  • The tube contains only 0.5ml wich I think it's a few, but surprisely It still has lot of product (I use this eyeliner everyday, 24/7)
  • It really worth the price ($12.00)
  • What I didn't like?...if you apply a third coat (like I do to make it bold) the liner on your lid seems to crack giving it an irregular line; this liquid liner doesn't give you a matte finish, it's more like a glossy-vinyl finish, I'm okay with that as long as the eyeliner is perfectly black, but I'd rather choose a matte finish, it's my favourite :)
  • It runs a little bit when you cry (70% tears-proof)...don't judge me, I was only watching this movie," PS I love you". I think this is a new clasification for eyeliner :) hehe
RATE: 9.8 I'LL BUY IT AGAIN!

Please leave your comment and tell me if this liner gave you a boost to your eyelashes :)
Be gorgeous :)
