Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick In Bordeaux Review


Hello lovelies! One of the many reason why I love the Fall and Winter months is the dark toned lipsticks ranging from Red to Dark Purple. My favorite shade out of that color range is a nice dark wine colored lipstick. I was looking for iswine colored lipstick and was happy when I found the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Bordeaux.

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Bordeaux retails at $4.99. 


Pros:
Moisturizing
Color
Affordable
Smell


Cons: 
Can settle in the fine lines of your lips.

I just love this shade it is perfect to wear this time of year. This lipstick is great to wear with a simple eye makeup look . This shade of lipstick add a sultriness to any makeup look.


What I love about this lipstick is that it applies smoothly and it is moisturizing on the lips. This lipstick is not a matte shade, but has a bit of a shine to it. 

Final Thoughts:

     Over All, I love this lipstick and the shade. I love how it applies and has decent staying power. After a awhile, you might want to apply lipgloss or a lip balm over it. For the most part this lipstick is more moisturizing than most lipsticks that I have tried. If you are looking for a wine colored lipstick, then I recommend the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick In Bordeaux.

You can find this lipstick at your local Target and drug stores.

Hope you enjoyed this review and see you in my next blog post lovelies.

Rimmel London BB Cream Review

                

Hello lovelies! I hope all is well you :). Today I will be reviewing the Rimmel London BB Cream. This is my first time purchasing a bb cream. I know it's hard to believe since I am a makeup/beauty junkie. :) I remember when bb creams broke out into the beauty scene about a year or two ago, so I wanted to see what all the rave is about. 


     Rimmel London BB Cream Retails at $5.99 (Prices vary in Different stores). According to Rimmel, the Rimmel London BB Cream is a 9n1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup. It is suppose to conceal,moisturize,mattifies,brighten,minimize pores,covers,smooths and protect.

     
                             
                                                                                 Pros:
                                                                       Thick and not runny
                                                                        SPF 25 Sunscreen
                                                                       Natural looking
                                                                           Light weight
                                                                   Drys to a Matte finish
                                                                          Moisturizing
                                                                             Coverage             


                                                                               Cons:
                                                                         Transfers easily
                                                                          Staying Power
                                                                   A tad dark for my skin complexion
                                                                     
    


                 


     Over All, I really like the Rimmel London BB Cream. After I applied onto my face I put a translucent powder on top to keep the oils away. The Rimmel London BB Cream covers up my redness in my cheeks really well and the staying power is decent, but it doesn't last all day. Also, I think the shade was a tad dark for my skin tone. They don't have much shades to choose from.After wearing Rimmel London BB Cream for three hours, everything still looked good. The redness was still concealed as well as my blemishes. After six hours, is when I could see the redness in my cheeks peek through and I looked a bit shiny in my t zones. What I love about this BB cream is that is does not appear to look cakey on your face which I think it a plus. For my first bb cream, I really like it. I will let you guys know if I change my mind once I purchase other bb creams. For now, this works for me and is convenient to just pop on your face and head right out the door . If you are looking for a more natural looking makeup, I think bb creams are great for that.  They are also great if you do not want to wear heavy foundation. I think Rimmel London BB Cream is light weight on your face and depending on your skin condition, you may or may not need to apply extra amount. I have been using this for the past two weeks and I am pleased with my purchase. If you are looking for an affordable bb cream I recommend the Rimmel London BB Cream.

      You can find the Rimmel London BB Cream at your local drugstores.

Review-Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm In Sultry





Hello lovelies!! I am excited to bring you this new lip product called Revlon Colorburst Matte Lip Balm. I picked it up few weekends ago at Target. Revlon also has a Colorburst Lacquer Balm line as well. I decided to buy the Revlon Colorburst Matte Lip Balm instead because I have been really into matte lipsticks lately.I really enjoy Revlon's lip products and was excited when I saw this.



The Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm retails at $6.49-$8.99.






 Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in the shade Sultry.
This color is a mauvey soft burgundy color. At least that is how it looks on my lips. The color is not too bright or dark. I think this color is gorgeous and great is for every day wear. It would also look great on any skin tone.



                                                                         Pros:
                                                                 Very Pigmented
                                                                    Moisturizing
                                                                 Buttery Texture

                                                               
                                                                       Cons:
                                                                       None
                                               

Over all, I am in love with the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm. It applies on evenly and smoothly and has a minty smell and tingle to when you apply it.  It also has a buttery texture and is light weight on the lips. The pigmentation of the lip product is rich like that of a lipstick.I think Revlon should have called this product Revlon Colorburst Matte Lip Crayon. Usually with Matte lipsticks it feels drying on the lips,but not with the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm. Even after a few hours it still felt moisturizing and not too dry.As far as the staying power, I was surprised that I still had a decent amount of product after I ate my lunch. I am in love with this product. I love how it has the moisture of a balm but the pigmentation of a lipstick. This product is a win. Revlon never disappoints when it comes to their lip products. I am defiantly going to purchase more and will have a review on those. 

You can purchase this product at your local drugstores,Target,Walmart,Ulta, and Drugstore.com.


 Hope you enjoyed this review and see you in my next blogpost lovelies!

Review The Nyx Runway Collection 10 Eyeshadow Palette In Secret World


As salaamu alaykum(peace be upon you) and hello  lovelies! I was looking through my makeup and stumbled upon this palette. When I opened it, this palette screamed Fall inspired eyeshadows. I should have included this palette in my Fall inspired eyeshadows blog post which you can view here. I was happy that I rediscovered Nyx's 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette The Run Way Collection in Secret World. Let's jump into the review.

 Nyx's 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette The Run Way Collection in Secret World Retails between $8-$10.(0.49oz). The palette contains 10 eyeshadows that have earth toned colors and come in a mix of finishes from frosty to glitter eyeshadows.The colors in this palette are perfect colors to wear for the Fall season.

Pros:
Pigmented
Affordable
Pigmentation
Blends very well

Cons:
Glitter fall out







Swatches:


I applied these eyeshadows without a base. As you can see the pigmentation is great.


Perfect eyeshadow palette for the Fall .


Over all, I fell in love all over again with  Nyx's 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette The Run Way Collection in Secret World. The pigmentation is insane for the price of the palette. The eyeshadows feel buttery soft and blend very well. My only complaint is that the eyeshadows that contain the glitter has a bit of a fall out, but nothing like a baby wipe or a quick dusting off your cheeks with a highlighter brush can't fix. This palette is a rediscovered gem and I highly recommend this palette. I plan on purchasing other palettes from this line.

Hope you enjoyed this review and found it helpful.

You can purchase this product at drugstore.com ,cherryculture.com, and amazon.com.

Thanks for taking time to read my blog. See you in my next blog post lovelies!

An Autumn Day At The Park


     As salaamu alaykum (peace be upon you) and hello lovelies!!! I feel like it has been forever since i last blogged. I have been so busy. I will leave that subject for another blog post. I wanted to share with you my Autumn day at the park. As some of you some of you may know,I love the Fall. I went to the park a few weeks ago with my husband,brother and my kids.(I didn't post pics of them for privacy reasons.) The weather was beautiful that day.During the Fall season in New Jersey the trees are just so beautiful. It is like someone painted the leaves with different colors. I wanted to capture Autumn from where I live and share them with you guys.Hope you enjoy lovelies! :) I highly recommend to view these photos in full screen.
















The sky sky was so blue and the clouds looked so fluffy that day.




I took this pic while standing under the tree looking up. It was absolutely more beautiful in person.


Yellow sleeping willow tree. Gorgeous.


I loved the branches of this tree.

I took this pic standing behind the leaves. :)

    Yellow sleeping willow.. 





 I call this pic the lonely Autumn tree :)






Macro shot of the leaves...


This pic I took before we left. It was about to rain and I wanted to capture the grey clouds while it was sunny... I thought this shot came out really cool.

There is something about being around nature that is so serene and peaceful. I really enjoyed all the beautiful colorful trees.Sometimes we take for granted how beautiful the park really is. Hope you enjoyed this blog post! 

If you made a blog post taking pictures of Autumn this year I would love to see them. Leave your link in the comments section below.
