A Review: Revlon Super Lustrous "Certainly Red"

Certainly Red

I'm a sucker for lippen. Especially red. Knowing I rarely wear that.. yet, I keep buying some. This one is amazing. A little bit pinkish in my opinion, and bluish.
The staying power is good. After some heavy eating, the stain will be there in your lips making you looking fresh. For a dramatic look or night make up, double swipes of this will make you look dazzling. Impressive and not drying at all. 3 stars from me, why? Because I don't like the packaging. Less chic, huh? But the formula and the color are awesome!

Only wear it once and planned to give it a go for anyone who wants it..since I owned a Russian Red. Anyone?

all review was based on my personal opinion, products are also mine.

The Reason Why Beauty Blog

Since I was kid, playing with make up, trying lipstick, eyeshadow, lashes clipper, and others seem fun. It lasts until now. I wasn't really paying attention to this hobby later, until I hit several beauty tutorials that really got me inspired.
Sounds cliché? It does.
Then I was thinking to take this hobby a little bit seriously. I have blogged since 2008 in Xenon Flash but all I post here until now is my thoughts and feelings. I don't feel like using it to post about fashion and beauty stuffs so I decided to make this, which previously named Splendore now changing into POSH.

The passion was still there, but the time and the motivation were not. I was lacking of any urgency to blog on here and come back to my old habit, just to write what I want to write until I came up to a problem I used to face. I was thinking how lovely it would be to share what we know, since probably, others don't. I remembered a moment when I was still in Junior High School and going to school after using lashes clipper and putting on transparent mascara. Well, probably there are a lot of people, a lot of girls out there who are just the same, like me, love this make up stuff, and always want to look good.
It's very human.

I also remembered one moment in Senior High School when parties were all over the weeks. Every week got each party we should attend. Make up saved everything, yet I was pretty clueless at that time. It doesn't mean that I'm doing this really good, yet somehow I realize I've found quite tips and tricks that I didn't know at that time as simple as blending the mesmerizing eyeshadow on creases, how to choose the correct foundation so you don't look like wearing a mask, and so on. Sounds simple but very important. Another purpose of this blog is to decrease the level of cluelessness between girls who start to use make up. So, there will be less clueless-about-makeup girls like I used to be in the future. :p

Though in daily campus life I don't use make up, I believe all of us need this at least for a date with someone whom you really adore, or going out with best friends when you will take a lot of pictures.
I believe we all want to look good.
However, I still hold strongly that the inner and the character should be there since the very first time. The outer can be improved easily later. Perfectly arched brows and lovely shade of lipstick are always complimentary.

Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick #117 Almost Nude

It feels like I'm having a serious relationship with nude lipstick. The fact that I really fall for them and use them a lot though reddish colors suit me much better. This is another nude lipstick of mine and currently a favorite

low light

sufficient light

In a hot sunny day when you don't feel using way pinkish lipstick, this can be a great choice. It has a little shade of pale coral mixed with peachy touch. Literally doesn't fresh your look up, my mom always complains because this makes me kinda pale, but I insist on the fact that it is simply gorgeous.

Pros:

- very affordable, like $4 each here in Indonesia

- smooth

- doesn't make your lips dried

- classic packaging

Cons:

- poor staying power

I literally fall for this nude lipstick, this one is much better than the color burst series I ever reviewed. If you look for a neutral shade that is very affordable and smooth on your lips, this can be a choice but I don't think I will repurchase when I run out of it. Probably, I will look for the better staying power since I rarely do touch-ups.

Review : NYX Eyeshadow Ombre in DANDY

I easily regret in buying make up. Especially, when the product is super-hyped, and then when I try by myself, nothing special. That's just frustrating.

But this one is different.

I bought this eyeshadow trio in November 2011. I was about to participate in a huge dance musical, yes, as a dancer, then I went around the department store looking for several pretty falsies and eyeshadow base. When oin NYX counter, I stumbled upon this eyeshadow trio.

This is very gorgeous and wearable. Don't you see that it's extremely natural? Yes, to achieve natural eyes look and light smokey eyes, this one can be the tool.

I don't really remember how many different types of set NYX got for this trio but this one is the most natural. NYX eyeshadow also comes in 5 shades in a set. Another thing that I love about this is the packaging! It's very elegant in glossy black. Very tight too, this palette ever slipped on my fingers yet it did not crack. It also comes with mirror and applicator inside.

See the swatch? Yes, like everyone has told, NYX eyeshadow is very pigmented. I swatched them all without using any eyeshadow base. Can you imagine how pop the color will be if we use the base first?

Dandy comes with 3 shades inside. Rich chocolate brown, white, and latte; they are all matte.

I sometimes use them to contour my nose plus cheekbone and they do just fine.

PROS

-affordable

-easy to get

-beautifully pigmented

-easy to blend

-luxurious packaging

-easy to apply for beginner

-comes with mirror and applicator inside the packaging

-practical and handy

CONS

N/A

NYX Eyeshadow Ombre in Dandy has got 4.6gr in about $15 but really you can get them cheaper if you buy on certain valid online shop. Like just half price. Shocking?

This is another HG product.<3

All of make up and stuffs being reviewed here are all mine.
