Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

This will be an overview of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm stains which were released in Australia in November 2012. I managed to grab 6 during a buy one get one free promotion.   All the shades I bought were in around about the same color families. The Revlon website describes them as:

• A pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon.

• For softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of colour that lasts hour after hour.

• No sharpener needed, retractable tip.

• Light peppermint fragrance..

• For medium buildable coverage.

The shades I've got are : 035 Charmed, 001 Honey, 010 Darling, 010 Cherish, 020 Lovesick and 045 Romantic.

Review: Sukin facial moisturizer

With cold weather settling in earlier this year the heaters have also been turned on early. It is hard to maintain my face moisturized with heaters and cold wind blowing constantly. Rachel might be able to recall me sitting indoors with APPLE RED CHEEKS. I'm not even kidding! My face gets so dry that it would be flaking, red AND itchy. So I went to hunt for moisturizers last week and bought this;

Facial Moisturizer by Sukin, a local Australian brand. 

The actual bottle is a more brown colour.

Nails of the Week

Nail Polish colours used:
Opi Pompeii Purple
Unbranded white nail polish

Tools:
Dotting tool
Striper

I started off painting a base of white on all my nails. For my pinky and pointer finger I painted two coats of Pompeii Purple over the white; for the other three nails I added another two layers of white polish.
To do the nail art, i took a nail striper and drew one long swirl up the side of the nail. After that I just did some random tendrils and coils coming off the first swirl. A small dotting tool was used to draw dots along the curves of the vines.

Comment if you'd like to see some sort of tutorial :)

Review: Benefit High Beam

I've had this bottle of High Beam for a while now - maybe a year or so? I was first drawn to it due to the HG status it seemed to have around the blogosphere, so I stole this unused bottle from my mum. It is pearly pink in colour and is a relatively liquid facial highlighter. It comes in a little nail polish style bottle which I think is quite cute. It retails for around $45 in Australia for the 13ml. A little goes a long way and you only need a tiny bit each time.

It is described as:
"... supermodel in a bottle! ... this pearlised pink highlighter is the make-up artists secret for a natural dewy glow on all skin tones. Use it as a spot highlighter or blend all over your complexion...the soft-focus sheen is enticing and sexy."

Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Mask

Hi all! This is a review of Black Sugar wash off mask by Skinfood. A popular brand of skincare, makeup and body care from South Korea.

I actually had this mask for several months now, I figured if I don't do a review soon, it'll be ages before I remember to review this.
