Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart Review and Swatches


Hey guys!

How is your week going?

This post is about the newly released Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the shade Sweetheart.

I know this product has come out for quite a while now in the United States but i just saw it here in Canada this week. And boy was I excited! Since I love the Revlon Lip Butters, I know that I would love this product too.

This balm stain comes in a chubby pencil which twists up that is a mix of lip balm and colour with a glossy finish. Since  it's a balm, it doesn't feel dry and is actually very moisturizing. Also, it should be noted that this balm stain has a minty taste and smell which you will feel once you put it on but will fade away in a few minutes.



For colour payoff, you can make it sheer but can build it up for more pigmentation. Also, because it's a stain it will last you all day. For this particular shade, even after wearing it all day, when i wiped it off with a makeup wipe there was still some colour left.

Sweetheart is a fun and summery medium toned pink that is very wearable even though it's bright.





Overall, this product is pretty amazing and I would suggest for you to pick up at least one shade and try it out for yourself.

Price: $8.46 CAD
Place to buy: I bought mine and only seen them from Walmart for now, although I saw a poster from Shopper's Drug Mart that its coming soon

Mac Lady Danger Lipstick Review and Swatch

Hey guys!


Today I would like to share with you one of the lipstick shades that I enjoy wearing and that is Mac Lady Danger. Officially, it is described as "vivid bright coral-red" which I totally agree with but I would say it's more orange than coral. When Mac says it bright, they really mean it! This particular shade is for bold, daring and confident ladies, I think and not for the faint of heart.

Here is an arm and lip swatch



Lady Danger has a matte finish so wearing a lip balm underneath would be advisable. Also, since it's a bold lip colour it has a tendency to bleed so if you have more time to apply lip liner prior to application that would help. For wear, it's like other lipsticks with a standard of 3 - 4 hours of wear then you see some fading. Also, I would like to note that it stained my lips a little, when I took my makeup off for the day there were still some of the colour on my lips.

Price: $18.00 CAD
Where to buy: Mac Cosmetics, The Bay

Hope you enjoy this post!

CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows in Sugar Coated Review and Swatches


Hey guys!

CoverGirl has added new set of shades in their Eye Enhancers collection with sleeker and thinner packages. In Canada, I have seen the newly packaged quads in Walmart, Shopper's Drug Mart and Zellers. I bought mine from Walmart for about $6.00.

CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Sugar Coated includes shades in mossy green, eggplant purple, turquoise, and golden peach. The pigmentation for these shades are quite sheer but you can pack them on for them to show up more.

On to the swatches.

Without primer


With primer


Over white cream base

I think the colours showed up the best and are more vibrant over white cream base than using just primer underneath.

I have used each of the shades individually but I have not used them altogether in a look yet. I can't seem to create a look showcasing all shades that would look good together.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks in #08 and #14 by Kate Moss Review and Swatch


Hey guys!

Rimmel has recently launched a lipstick collection wherein they had collaborated with Kate herself for limited release. These lipsticks come in a sleek black tube with their signature crown on top and Kate's name printed across.

I have two out of the five that they have launched and I have to say that I quite like the colour payoff of the ones I have. I have shade numbers 08 and 14 and they are the nude-y, MLBB (my lips but better) shades. I think it's boring that they only gave numbers and no specific names for their shades but I can get pass that.

Shade # 08

This shade is a plum-y colour with somewhat of a pink hint to it. It has a matte creamy finish but its quite drying and not that moisturizing to the lips. You surely need to apply lip balm first before wearing this lipstick.


For the swatch





Shade # 14


This shade is definitely lighter that shade #08 with a brown undertone. This also has a matte creamy finish but its not as drying as shade #08 on my lips.

For the swatch



Rimmel claims that these lipsticks will wear for 8 hours but they only lasted me about 3 - 4 hours and needed to be re-applied again. Also, I have to note that both lipsticks have a strong plastic scent that can be overpowering that will last for about 10 minutes after applying them.


 I hope you enjoyed this post!
