Revlon Colorburst Lacquer and Matte Balm Stains!

 Today's review is on the Revlon Colorburst Lacquer and Matte Balms. I know I'm a little late hopping on the bandwagon, but I have been loving these lately! As pictured above, i own 3 of the lacquers and 1 of the matte balms. Retailing at $6.49 each (at Target), there is a variety of shades in both collections, ranging from nude shades to red, to violet. The lacquer shades I have are (from left to right) Ingenue, Demure and Whimsical, and the only Matte shade I have is called Sultry. Here are some swatches of the shades! 

 Ingenue is a brownish nude shade, almost a "Your Lips But Better" kind of shade. This shade gives a really nice gloss to your lips, while still making them look natural. Demure (My favorite shade) is a light, everyday classic pink shade. Again, being a lacquer shade, it adds a gloss to your lips and also is very wearable. Whimsical is my least worn shade, being a very bright glossy purple shade. And as for the matte shade, Sultry is a very beautiful matte plum shade. This shade has amazing staying power, and even after eating and drinking, after a few hours the stain of the color still remains on the lips. 

All in all, these lipsticks are very nice quality. For me personally, I definitely recommend the more neutral shades, just because they are more wearable for every day. However, a brighter matte shade like Sultry is also a very wearable shade and i very beautiful as well! 

Have you tried these lipsticks? If you have, what is your favorite shade? Comment down below letting me know! 
I hope you all have a beautiful day and stay warm! <3 <3 <3

Maybelline Eye-Studio "Autumn Dream"

Today's review is on the Maybelline Eye Studio Shadow quad in "Autumn Dream". This was a LIMITED EDITION quad, so I'm not sure if you can still get your hands on it, however I have seen it at some local Walgreen's stores alongside some other limited edition quads. These quads retail around $4.99 and this particular quad features a champagne-sparkle shade, a jewel tone purple, a jewel tone green and a navy. After using the quad at least 4 times since purchase, I can say that the colors together wear beautifully! The shades give you that dark smoky look from far away, but getting up close, you can actually see the colors and how they work together. Here are some swatches of the shades:

(Without Primer)

(With Primer) 

As you can see, without using a primer, the shadows can be a tad bit dry and powdery, but over the top of a primer they are stunning on the eyes! I definitely recommend picking up this quad if you are lucky enough to see it in the stores! 

(The finished look: I used the champagne color in the inner corner and as a brow highlight. Then went in with the green all over the lid. I applied the navy in the outer corner and worked it a bit into the crease, and then applied the purple in and above the crease.)
