First Impression: NYX Butter Lipstick in Little Susie (BLS12)
Today, I am doing a first impression on the NYX butter lipstick. I really like the Revlon lip butters so when I heard that NYX came out with butter lipsticks too awhile ago, I had been wanting to try them too. I decided to just get one of them and grabbed it in the color, Little Susie, which is a bright, yet deep pink that looked like it would be quite pigmented. It normally retails for $5.99 at Ulta, but I got this during a 40% sale.

I Love Drugstore Makeup Tag
Hello everyone!
I have seen YouTubers and some bloggers do this tag and thought I would do this too so you guys could get to know me a little better, in terms of my thoughts regarding certain drugstore makeup products! This will be my first tag and a little something that is different from what I usually post.
1. What is your
favorite drugstore makeup brand overall?
Well, I’m kind of
split between a couple, but I guess I would have to go with Revlon considering I have a few more products from them than the others.
2. What are your
favorite face, cheek and lip products?
For the face, I would have to go
with Rimmel London’s Stay Matte pressed powder right now. It really does set
your foundation and mattify the face. It doesn’t look cakey and provides good
coverage.
For the cheek, I’m not a big blush
person but I would go with Wet n Wild’s Coloricon Blusher in Heather Silk. It
is very pigmented that you only need a light dusting of it and it’s just a
nice, natural looking pink color.
My favorite lip products would have
to be the Revlon Lip Butters and the L’oreal Caresse Wet Shine Lip Stains.

New Revlon Products - Age Defying Foundation, Wrinkle Ready Line Filler, Targeted Dark Spot Concealer, CC Cream
Hey everyone!
Just a quick little post to share! I saw this new display in Rite Aid today that I haven't seen elsewhere so I thought I'd share with you guys if you haven't seen it already. Excuse the first blurry picture, I didn't realize it was so blurry when I took it. It is the age-defying line containing a foundation, Wrinkle Ready Liner Filler, and Targeted Dark Spot Concealer Treatment. The dark spot concealer contains a sponge applicator which is interesting. The price tags were not shown at the drugstore so I can't tell you how much they cost. I like how they have a tester of the foundation on the side since you don't find that a lot in drugstores, although it is only one shade. I did give it a try and on first impressions, it feels pretty lightweight and seems to be light to medium coverage. This was only swatched on my hand so I can't attest to how it really is. There were a total of 10 shades.
I thought I would also mention the new Revlon CC creams. I have seen them awhile ago, maybe a month ago in Harmon's, but this was my first time seeing it in a drugstore.This also contained a tester too! Maybe this will be a new favorite for you CC cream lovers?
Let me know your thoughts if any of you have tried these products! Have a great day! :)

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balms (Coquette and Enticing)
Hey everyone!
I finally picked up the new Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balms at CVS. I chose 150 Enticing and 110 Coquette. They retail around $9.49 - $10.49 in drugstores from what I saw. I have never tried a crayon- like lip balm so this was new and interesting to me.
Coquette is a soft, baby pink that should look flattering on most people. It is not too bright or overwhelming. I was a little weary that it might be too blue-toned but it surprisingly was not. It had a minty feeling when I first put it on that gave my lips a cooling sensation. Is this how lip plumpers feel like? It contains sparkles which you can see in the second picture above.
Enticing is a slightly deep, candy apple red. It's not too bright but very pigmented. I was worried that it would be too bright of a red but it wasn't and is a very flattering color. This also contains sparkles but they aren't very apparent on the lips. It appears a little more pigmented and darker on the lips than as shown in the picture above.
Pros:
They both do have a minty taste/ feeling to them, the Coquette one more so than Enticing for some reason. This could be a con for some people.
Overall, I was pleased with them. I think they're interesting products to try if you've never tried crayon lip products before. The formula and pigmentation exceeded expectations. Considering it is a balm and not a stain, the lasting power is about what you would expect of a lip balm. For the price though, I'd say wait for a sale or see if there is someplace that sells them for a little cheaper. So these are my thoughts, have a great day everyone!

- Not that great for dry lips, especially the lighter colors
