There's Something About Revlon Mad About Mango!

Revlon Scented Nail Polish - Mad about Mango

As I am still in my coral craze phase- I cant resist a pretty coral- Its been a while since I had this- but its a funny story- here it goes...
So even when I had a similar more orangey 'siren' (also from revlon) I still had my eyes on this one..... so after much internal reasoning about how I did not need this......dilly-dallying.... wishfully looking at my thumb swatch for a few days- how pretty coral it looked-  I decided I had to get one myself. Now when I went to my neighbourhood shop (who gives some discount on all my beauty buys) it was out of stock.... ditto on my next visit.... Suddenly I had to have it...U all know this- when its hard to get- its suddenly so much more desirable!!! Applies to boyfriends, girlfriends, the last pair of shoes in you like, that dress you were eyeing just when some girl takes it........ and also some pretty Nail polish too!:P
So on my next visit to the mall- I finally laid my hands on this precious bottle.
RIP!

 Price- Rs. 150

 Quantity- 8ml

 What does the company Say:
Revlon’s exclusive silk-protein shield works to instantly help even out the surface of the nail while rising above color to automatically smooth away bubbles, streaks and brush marks. UV absorbers protect color – ensuring it won’t fade during wear. 

Available in 16 shades.
 Swatches:

Revlon Mad About Mango- 2 coats

Revlon Mad about Mango- With flash

Indoor Light

 Yay's 

• A pretty shade- in trend and would suit most indian skin tones.
• Reasonable at Rs150
• Scented- Though I wonder how it helps anyone..... perhaps if u like smelling ur nails?! ewwww

 Nay's 

• The formula and/or the brush is disappointing..... streaky application mars the final effect
• I like the colour it gives in one coat(but its streaky) and on second coat- its more neon than I would like-u can see it is more neon than it appears in the bottle.

Last Word:
Love the colour but I wish the formula was better- and please get rid of that awful brush! Life is too short to waste on  trying to reapply the same nail thrice!!! Although I found the normal version's similar brush working ok.... so maybe its just the formula!

Lip Loves: My love for Revlon Colorburst Lippies keeps my vanity loaded and my wallet light!!!

Revlon colorburst lipsticks are some that I often reach for - in summers and also in winters- for their nice texture and reasonable longevity. I also have one more in rosy nude which is missing here- but one which in always in my handbag (when i can't make up my mind about which lipstick- this is something which goes with most outfits!).So here are some more Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Swatches -Peach, Raspberry, Candy Pink, Plum & True Red

I was always more of a lipstick junkie... currently I find myself drawn to nail paints- in their full rainbow glory!
 Gone  are the days of my pinks and nudes- I am enjoying the unusual shades now- greens, turquoise, hot and brights & metallic et al!

I had been eyeing a metallic green nail polishfor a while now ( ppossibly after getting hypnotised by Chanel's Peridot)- this one come quite close to the duochrome effect I had in mind!
Now its no Chanel but its gorgeous and gives a good bang for ur buck!

Lip Loves: My Favourite Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks : Review & Swatches

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks- Mauve, Soft Rose, Fuchsia

This is a much delayed post for one lipstick I really love and adore which is Revlon Colorburst! I bought one in the colour Mauve when they launched, fell in love with it- and now I have three of them (with plenty on my mind for my next trip to the mall!)

By now all of you must be aware about the rave reviews this lipsrtick has got (not without reason!).
Revlon has now extended this line to include Lip glosses too - I bought one in papaya recently ( Review coming soon!)
This post is about my favourite colours from the colorburst lipsticks. I like creamy colours better than shimmery one and avoid frosted lipsticks like the plague! So here they are.....



Price- Rs.580/- (Raised form Rs. 550/- recently :( )

Quantity- 3.7g

What does the company Say: 
Instant burst of rich, true color with a featherlight feel
-Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin
-Moisturizers & antioxidants, including sweet almond oil, improve skin texture
- Beautiful packaging, with premium bullet lipstick case and embossed Revlon logo on bullet


Swatches & Pics: 

Beautiful packaging with coloured tops!

Classy quilted design

What the colours look like on lips!

Yay's

• It is beautiful to look at - elegant design and packaging !
• It is very moisturizing and comfortable to wear
• Long-Lasting - about 4-5 hours ... will leave a beautiful tint even after it fades (evenly!)
• Does not dry the lips or emphasize lip lines
• The coloured top of the cap helps in locating the right colour (esp if u have a huge bunch of them!)

Nay's 

• Expensive - The tag of 580/- does limit how many shades u will buy!
• The pigmentation will not give you a 'burst' of colour in 1 swipe flat :( which means you have to swipe it 2-3 times at least to get the true colour on lips.(which also means you will run out of this lipstick faster!)
• Some new colours are not launched in India!

The Last Word:
If you are a lipstick-lover - You MUST HAVE one of these in ur kit ! They will soon become a staple in ur purse...:)
As for me i am already looking for excuses to buy another one... :P
