From Soft Neutrals to Warm Corals. ♥ Summer trend 2011

Hi Everybody,

It's been awhile since I have been able to put up a blog post. But here is one delightful one to come back with.

Summer has always been about color and brights. I am tremendously loving the refreshing return to bright corals. This is evident with the new show stoppers from CHANEL & NARS collections. CHANEL's Mimosa leads the trail followed by NARS Wonder Lipgloss and Canteloupe Velvet Matte Lip Pencil.

Revlon Super Lusturous Lip Sticks. Drugstore's Best.

Hi Ladies,

So glad to finally be composing the first post for this Blog!

Here are the swatches mentioned in Revlon Super Lusturous Lippie review!

All shades are of the Creme formulation.

Pigmentation: 4/5

Texture: 5/5

Consistency: 5/5

Overall: 4.5/5

Truly at the drugstore level, these lip sticks have the best to offer.

Among their attributes are the following: 1. They are very easy to apply; 2. They do not feather; 3. They have a decent amount of lasting power; 4. They layer easily with other lip products; and finally they are priced very reasonably and are easily accessible.

The following are the shades I personally have picked out from nude pinks, berry shades and rich rouges.

L.-R.: 668 Primrose, 680 Temptress, 463 Sassy Mauve, 660 Berry Haute, 473 Mauvy Night, 745 Raspberry Bite, 477 Black Cherry.
