Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

I am in love with these so many colors to choose from but I decided on two colors that will work for me during this winter season.  Word is that they are permanent so I am definitely gonna get more colors in the future.  I found mine at Bed Bath & Beyond in a display for $5.79 each.  The only lip butters that I have been impressed with so far are the Korres ones.  The Revlon lip butters are in a tube form and slightly more firm in texture, but still very moisturizing.  Faint scent, gorgeous packaging, very moisturizing, and no shimmer a win for me totally worth checking out.  Here are a few pictures...

Current Nail Polish Look

I was intrigued in Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia because its an exact dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance.  When I purchased Smoky Canvas by Revlon at CVS Facets of Fuchsia was sold out.  Well I finally got my hands on it at Target and I love the color a gel based black with small and large purple glitter perfect for fall/winter season.

Skincare Routine

My eye makeup remover

 
Cleanser with my Pretika Facial Brush

My eye creme which works well keeps the delicate skin around my eyes moisturized.

 CeraVe is my usual day moisturizer but I also use Neutrogena Ultra sheer liquid from my September favorites.  I always use a UVA/UVB moisturizer.

 Night time I use Clinique turnaround serum it gently exfoliates and increases new cell renewal.
 

 

Then I alternate nights with Neutrogena deep wrinkle moisturizer that has retinol  but in small dose so that my skin doesn't peel.  Retinol aids with building collagen and elasticity in the skin.  And Alpha Hydrox which has 10% Glycolic AHA and is a chemical exfoliate which dissolves dead skin cells that are remaining on the skin.  I'm turning 30 next year and the first signs of aging is right around the corner so I've started a skin care routine that is not too harsh for my skin.  Their are three things to always do exfoliate, moisturize, and sunblock.  I have dry to combination skin and during winter months I will use Bio-Oil for extra moisture and Aveeno Hydrocortisone creme if I have an eczema rash appear.

September Favorites!

Colgate Optic White - I got my teeth bleached at a local mall last month and got dramatic results and          wanting to keep the results lasting I decided to look for a new toothpaste.  Optic White promised to give noticeably whiter teeth within a week of use because the main ingredient is hydrogen peroxide.  With using this toothpaste some discoloring that was still left has faded so I'm impressed and will continue to use.

Sonia Kashuk Brightening Powder - I love this stuff!  I have been using Benefit Powderflage for the past year and went through 2 containers already and costs $28 which is very expensive.  Sonia's Brightening Powder is about the same amount of product and similar ingredients but only cost $10 and I feel the results are the same!

Wet n Wild Color Icon in Silent Treatment -  This trio is so worth the money, very beautiful cool tone palette that is easy to wear.  The color I love most is the eyelid color its a satin finish taupe which is what I've been wearing on a daily basis.  Worth $3.

Korres Lip Butter in Guava -  I've had this product for about a year now and have used it off and on but this month I've used this every night and love the way my lips feel in the morning.  I'm about out but will defiantly repurchase.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid - Lots of sunblocks leave my skin feeling oily and my foundation will not last because of that.  I know the importance of using sunblock and this product sinks into my skin and provides a nice base for my foundation routine.  I will no longer go without sunblock which I have in the past.

Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer - Haven't been using this for long but love the fact that its double ended and fills in my brows wonderfully as well as stays all day!

MAC Mineralized Blush in Dainty - Been wearing lots of coral colors during the summer and just got tired of the coral look by September.  Dainty is just an easy, effortless, and long lasting color that goes well with my complexion and with any outfit or makeup look I've been putting together.

Essie Grow Faster - I got this a few month ago and I have started to notice my nails growing faster which is exactly what it states and I defiantly appreciate it because my nails teen to be prone to tearing and always have difficult time growing longer.
