Loving Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

I have absolutely zero willpower. I thought I would wait a while before trying any Revlon Lip Butters seeing as I already have so many lipsticks and lip glosses. However, I couldn’t help snapping up a few for my swatch and review and I have to say I really, really love these. *whispering* Really.

I can see myself going through them quite quickly and buying more. My only problem will be, seeing as they are so popular I might have a hard time replacing them! I had to actually visit a few stores to find these. Bummer.

Dir Sunlight: Candly Apple, Tutti Frutti, Sweet Tart, Creamsicle

Shade: Candly Apple, Tutti Frutti, Sweet Tart, Creamsicle

What I love most about these are they can be sheer, or layered for a more intense look. The longer you wear them, the more they infuse with your body temperature and melt into a nice tint. These have essentially replaced my lipsticks, lip balms and lip glosses all in one hit. I only have to carry around one tube, and I can get versatile wear. That’s a huge bonus for me. They’re not an exact replacement of all these, but a really nice combination of all three.

For the swatches I layered the colour for full effect, and took photos with flash. But these look just as fabulous with one quick swipe of the lippy. I haven’t worn these enough to say that they make your lips baby bottom smooth, but suffice to say these are brilliant in my opinion.

I love all the colours I chose, and if my willpower doesn’t return any time soon I will probably go buy some more

Swatches: Layered, w/Flash

Candy Apple

Tutti Frutti

Sweet Tart

Creamsicle

What do you think? Have you tried them, and are you as addicted as I am?

Weekly Flashback: Girls Weekend, Wedding, Hospitals, Flights & Exploding Eggs.

Good morning!

Whew, what a busy week. So far I spent some quality time with the ladies last weekend for a bachelorette party, landed myself a quick stop in the hospital for getting sick, attended my BFF’s wedding and put my husband on a plane today to the US to see family. Can you say, exhausted?

So that’s the reason for my hiatus, and now that I have a moment I can share some photos from last weekend. First let me start off by saying my besties wedding two days ago was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-L-Y beautiful, and I was just proud as punch to see her in her wedding dress. I think I broke the record for saying “freaking awesome” on that day. Because it was.

No! Must dance!

So on to the hens weekend I mentioned in my last post. I’m so happy we were able to find the time, with families, careers and everything in between it has been tough for us to catch a moment so it was wonderful to be able to do it. I have a whole album of photos from the weekend that make me smile, and I spent the entire week laughing to myself. Don’t you just love moments like that? Now any time one of us is having a bad day, we email or txt these photos to each other and its guaranteed to crack a smile.

Around Darwin…

Propeshonal!

Saying goodbye…

The beautiful bride to be, and myself… “Propeshonal!”. 

Bugger… How do you know you’ve spent too much time fluffing around on a post? It’s the exact moment the eggs you had boiling on the stove explode because you forgot about them!

That’s my sign to go. I hope you enjoyed the photos, till next time lovely readers. LOL! *wiping tears of laughter*… EXPLODING EGGS! What a week.

Huzzah! In exactly a weeks time, my dearest friend will be walking down the aisle. We have known each other since before time began, and together with our Ninja Warrior crew – also friends since Jesus was in the fifth grade – and some more awesome people, we will be celebrating her hens night. It will be strictly a NPA (no penises allowed) event. That includes all real/inflatable/plastic/woolen/wooden/ninja ‘twig-and-giggle-berries’.

For tonight I figured why not make the whole outfit colourful, hey I love brights. And I had just the items to put it together so it saved me from having to stress about buying something new. Phew. Sure I’m being a tight arse, but it’s not what you wear but who you are with, and I am looking forward to some quality time with my ladies more than anything :D

The dress theme is ‘something blue’, so I picked a necklace and earrings, and a blue cocktail ring as my backup ‘blue’ if the first two don’t pass for the right colour –  because they’re actually green. But shhh! I don’t want to get stuck wearing a blue clown wig for not following the theme. Haha.

Righto I’m off to pack some things for our stay, I will be sure to have a beautiful photo or two to share. Until then I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Top: Powerhouse. You could almost call this top ‘vintage’. I’ve had it since 2007 and have held onto it and probably always will, I just love the bright colour. I don’t recall what it cost, but it was under $100.

Clutch: Target. I picked this up around Christmas last year, for under $30.

Ring: Mindle Beach Markets. This was a few dollars at the markets, but its the cheap and quirky  stuff that I love the best

Flats: Big W. Under $10 baby! Oh yeah. Some bright purple kicks for me and my size nine yeti feet.

Necklace: Lovisa $19.95.

Earrings: Forever New $12.99.
