Product Review: Revlon Ultimate All in One Mascara

Hello everyone!

For this past week, I've been testing out the new Revlon Ultimate All in One Mascara.
Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara in 502 Black
Product Claims: 
  • High impact formula delivers the Ultimate 5 in 1 benefits:
    • Volume
    • Length
    • Definition
    • Lift
    • Rich, intense color
This product also has an uber tiny mascara wand, referred to as the Revlon Power Mini Brush, made for easy application.

Now, I'm picky when it comes to mascaras. I want volume, lift and intense colour, which are 3 things this mascara claims to give, so I decided why not give it a shot...although it costs TT$61.
For the price point alone, I was praying this wasn't gimmicky.

This mascara is hands down one of the best mascaras I've ever used. It volumises and lifts my lashes like something out of a dream. It lengthens and gives great definition to each individual eyelash, and it is intensely pigmented. I didn't experience any flaking or smudging with this product. It didn't smear or run on the days my eyes were watery.
Hello Eyelashes, Nice to see you! Only one coat of mascara.
The power of this mascara comes down to the brush. Revlon knew what they were doing with this little guy. It picks up every little eyelash, and coats them with product, making them visibly longer, fuller, and darker than they actually are. My friends were actually able to see my eyelashes, and complimented them, which was a definite first, and I've already started throwing recommendations out for this mascara.

This mascara has gone from testing, to everyday must have. I am officially in love with this mascara, and I'm probably going to be testing out the others in this range. I already have the Ultra Volume Mascara (pink cap) from Revlon, that I will be trying out next month.

Revlon has been killing it with some of their new releases lately. I wasn't supposed to post this this week, however, I just love it so much I had to make a post about it.

Feel free to let me know your favourite mascara at the moment in the comments.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
Stay happy, healthy, and positive, and I shall see you all again next Saturday!
Bye guys!

Review: Revlon Ultra HD Matte LipColor

Hey everyone! Welcome back!

Today, I'm doing a quickie review on the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Liquid LipColor. 
I have this in the shade Passion, which is a beautiful red. Prior to purchasing this, I saw a lot of mixed reviews on this particular product, and was very apprehensive when purchasing mine. However, since purchasing this, I've worn it for almost 2 weeks straight. I've been out of the habit of wearing red lips, but this product made me fall back in love with red lips.

The consistency of this product is perfect, it isn't pure liquid, nor is it too creamy. If I had to give a specific texture, it'll be almost gel like. It glides onto the lips easily, and I haven't been a victim of it bleeding or moving outside of my lip line. It takes a long time to completely dry down, which is a bit of a hassle, however, a quick blot with a tissue and you're good to go. I ritually blot my lips when it comes to any lipstick, cream or liquid, just to ensure it doesn't get onto my teeth, so this step didn't bother me, nor did it impact my opinion on this product. 
The applicator on this liquid LipColor is divine. It is small, and triangular making application a breeze.

My only problem with this product is the scent. It smells like cherry cough syrup. I guess it fits with the colour of the product but I could do without the strong fragrance.

I've truly been enjoying using this product, despite the strong fragrance, however, I know many people wouldn't consider this to be a true liquid lipstick, since it doesn't dry down to a full matte finish in a short period of time. It does manage to last through eating and drinking, and wears comfortably and beautifully throughout the day. It is small enough to fit in your pocket, so it is great for me whenever I want a punch of colour on the go. 
I would personally recommend this to my friends, but only this shade since I am yet to try others from the line.

I'm sorry about the short review, however, I have a lot of stuff going on personally right now, and my time is very divided.
This may be my last post of the next two weeks, depending on how things go, however, I am in the process of testing some products out, and I hope to bring those reviews to you very soon.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive.
Bye (^_^)/
