Revlon Diamond Lust

I've done very few reviews & these are usually a staple of beauty blogs. I feel like I just am not a good reviewer...I like something or I don't & that's about all I can say.

I grabbed shade Starry Pink (dark or bright colors still freak me out). This does not photograph well at all. From the photo you can kinda tell it's a pale pink shade with TONS of shimmer. TONS OF SHIMMER. Must emphasize that because Starry Pink is pretty much just shimmer. My brush picked it up well. Buuuut...it goes everywhere. I had it under my eye, on my cheek. I don't know if it's just my ghost paleness that makes the pink nonexistent on my lids or what. 

Can you tell which eye has it? Sorry for extreme closeup also girlies.

I would not re-buy. This is basically for shimmer. I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Total dud in my opinion. Too messy & no color. There are 4 other colors in the Diamond Lust collection. Maybe they're better but I won't be the one to find out lol.

If any of you would like this, comment & I'll send it your way. 

Has anyone else tried these yet??

Revlon Lip Butter V. L'Oreal Lip Balm

These products have both been getting a loooot of hype lately. I finally purchased a Revlon Lip Butter & figured these would be great for a head to head comparison. Obviously, they're different shades so I won't really be able to compare that.

Revlon is right, L'Oreal left

Wear

Sweet Tart is more lipsticky than Rose Elixir. It's bright and matte. I end up blotting some off. 

Rose Elixir is lighter with a tiny bit of shimmer. Not frosty or glittery though. It matches my lip shade perfectly. I like that because I don't feel self conscious wearing a bright shade (still out of my comfort zone..) but what's the point of wearing lip stuff if it doesn't make a visible difference? This glides on easier than the Revlon also. The SPF is an added bonus.

R- Revlon  L- L'Oreal

Packaging 

I feel the packaging on both could be better. If you don't have them twisted down the whole way, the tops smush on the lid. 

The Revlon's quilt design is cuter than plain jane L'Oreal. For some reason they decided to only do it on 2/4 sides. 

Gold always makes me feel like a product is fancier. I know that's not always the case though. L'Oreal's top only goes on one way, snaps into place well.  

I think these products are both basically the same. If I had to choose one, I'd recommend the L'Oreal. I know you girlies have to have some opinions about this one...please share them in the comments!!

Recent Beauty Buys =)

L-R:: 2 Weeks Sober, Electric Blue, Distant Memory & Pumping Gas

No idea why the lilacy purple is called 2 Weeks Sober. Spoiled really comes up with some weirdo names. Take the brown: Pumping Gas?? I bought it to add a brown to my collection & Spoiled polishes were on sale for .99! =) My bestie picked out Electric Blue.

Some $10 flats from WallyWorld. I figure they're be more laid back & match more than the patent ones I recently got. Fiiiiinally got some brush cleaner too, also Walmart brand. Yet to try it but plan on doing a fun First Time post.

How could anyone not love these earrings? For $2.11 the price was right on for me!

2 Revlon buys. I plan on doing a review of the eyeshadow, sorry for the not great pic. As you can see, it's called Starry Pink. Very glittery shimmery pale pink. Jumped on the wagon. Lip butter in Sweet Tart. I'm not planning on reviewing that because I know there's a million and one out there.

Any buys you're especially proud of?
