Revlon Ultra HD Gel Lipcolor 700 705 710 715 720 745 755 760




I couldn't resist the "gel" concept and ended up loving these.  The smell is something some might object to (chemically fruit).

700 sand
705 dawn
710 dessert
715 arabica
720 pink cloud
745 rhubarb
755 adobe
760 vineyard

Basically, these are semi sheer but the darker ones do impart a lot of color.  The lighter ones are very subtle.  They have 2 formulas, with one adding a sparkle, if that makes sense, and the other just sheen.  The shine on them is lovely.  I keep adding new ones...





Kevyn Aucoin Ibiza Neo Highlighter Review and Swatches


Not as cool as I expected, this highlighter mixes in a touch of warm to avoid that icy cool which can be harsh.  I'm a huge fan of this palette.  The formula is creamy, finely milled and imparts a soft sheen.  It's very natural on, with none of the metallic shine or glitter.  And the shades have a touch of warmth (which also makes them harder to see on my skin since I have a warm undertone).

The first shade is a soft cool gold.
The next is a pink with a touch of warmth.
The lilac/lavender is they iciest color but it's also very ethereal on.  Truly lovely.

The rainy weather has made my swatches a little duller.  But luckily, the weather is improving.

I adore this palette.  Really does create a luminous glow.




YSL The Street and I Couture Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches


These shades are really stunning!

The grey is especially pretty, a smoky matte color that is much more flattering on me than black.  The lightest pink is a champagne sort of glittery pink which actually does adhere to my skin.  One pink is a true cool watermelon and the other has a hint of salmon (the latter works much better on me).  The orange is a true orange, but not neon bright!  I like it brightening my lower lash line.

This is the better version of the couture formula and I don't need a primer with it.  YSL has improved their shadows over the past 2 years and I'm really happy with this one.

Bright?  Yes, but the colors really work on, and can be toned down.  This palette is limited edition so get it while it's still in stock.
