Significant Differences in Price

I got my Revlon ColourBurst lipsticks a couple months back. I did review on them on the post below. I love them and I still do, especially the Soft Nude 070. Remember I got them at somewhere close to $8 each + tax? Well, what I forgot to tell is... I actually took a walk around shoppers a couple days after I purchased mine at WalMart. I was so surprised seeing the same product, same brand, and same Colours availability for $11.23 each. Yeah, I think it was about that. I remember it was $11 a couple cents. That is give or takes about $3 differences.

Well I hope WalMart will never ever changed their prices on these babies. I love them so much and for my next buy, I think I am going to use the... Some said there is $3 coupon off and some said $2 for the Revlon Colour Burst Lipstick. That would be like $5-6 each plus tax which is great for drugstore lipstick prices.

Surprise, Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick is finally here (Ontario)!

Went to Walmart for the purpose of finding Dr Scholl’s Comfort Insoles for Her, but you know that I have been longing for the Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick since forever so I check up the makeup counter and was very happy to find that they are finally here! The product just came. I was there as they unpack more boxes. I was so happy nobody tries the counter sample yet so I picked the colour I wanted and try them on. Well, actually I don’t have to try them on one by one. The one that I love is Soft Nude 070 and Peach 075. They look awesome!

The nude colour does not wash your face out! It has a little big pink pigment on it. As for the peach, I love it better than my Rimmel Crush because it is less orangy.

My first impression, “OMG these lipsticks look awesome”. I am falling in love with their packaging, its classic! I got them for $7.97 + tax each.

When I open the lipstick, the first thing I notice is that they have no scent, well at least no strong smell like my other lipstick. When I apply them, it glides nicely, feels creamy but not shimmery. They leave a glossy finish. I don’t know why the colour won’t show up if I use lip balm before applying the lipstick. I love having lip balm before lipstick. My lips get dry easily especially in winter time. I have to have lip balm on me every time. Maybe I’ll use less balm, like one coat only before applying the lipstick next time.

Here are some swatches. You can tell which is soft nude and which is peach : ) They are truly different colour. Left one is Soft Nude and right is Peach.



I apply soft nude on my upper lips and Peach on bottom lips. See the difference? But you gotta admit both look nice right? I don’t think the colour disappear “that” easily. I find them like others meaning apply only after eating, drinking and a couple hours. They are not long lasting, just normal.

New Obsession?

I think I am obsessed with drugstore brand lipsticks lately. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing. As obsessed as I am, I don’t buy all colours as most colour totally don’t suit me. I am thinking of getting red-red lipstick but I am too chicken! However, it might looks good for some occasion. I am thinking dark eye shadow look with red lipstick + my super fair skin. Not too bad huh? Don’t put too much hope on that!

For my new obsession, I am thinking of adding Revlon Colour Burst into my lippy collection. I like the super popular SOFT NUDE and perhaps Peach. If this product as awesome as what everyone has been saying, I might get True Red in addition to soft nude and peach.

I am in quest to find the super moist lipstick and long lasting. To this, I am a bit up-set with my late purchased Rimmel lipstick. I love the colour but it dried up fast and the colour pretty much gone in half to an hour. Not too sure if weather have any contribution to this or it truly is that way.

From all my late purchased, L’Oreal is the most moist lipstick hence the price is quite the moist of all too. That is why I am excited! I am hoping Revlon colour burst will be better than L’Oreal. They are in the same price range, both drugstores but I have been hearing how smooth Revlon new collection is, how true their colour is... yada yada yada... It makes me want them even more! I went to Superstore today and I was hoping to pick up Soft Nude but the clerk said, “We have not received the new Revlon collection yet.” How sad! I am going to visit some other store and check them out! I hope they have it.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick and another Maybelline Lipstick Haul

Rimmel Crush

Maybelline Born With It

Swatches!!! Pink one is Born With It and The peachy Orangy one is Rimmel Crush

I went to Walmart looking for peachy nude colour lipstick since Maybelline Pink Please is too pink pigmented on me. I think Pink Please will suit just fine anyone who has at least olive to brown skin colour. It looks so out of place on me. My skin is so fair and the colour is just not right on me. I look quite crazy and out of place with it.

So today, I decided to hit Walmart and find myself some peach colour. I was just browsing, looking around at every lipstick sections and this one particular lipstick really stand out of the others. It is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in crush (202). The price barely $5! Maybe becomes $5ish and a tad more after tax. Compare to Maybelline which costs $7.69 or .96 + tax. It smells very nice too!! It does not cake when you reapply it.

I also got myself Born With It by the same Maybelline lipstick product. At first I was quite suspicious that it will turn out the same like pink please but it doesn’t. This one looks nicer on me than Pink Please. I guess because it gives a more subtle colour than Pink Please.

Remember I was discussing how Pink Please smells like play doh? Well, it comes to a surprise that this one smells very different than Pink Please. I guess it based on product batch? This Born With It smells nice like Rimmel but Rimmel is nicer. At least it does not smell like play doh.

Maybe next time if you buy some that smells like play doh, just returned it and get another or go to another store.

Here are a few swatches on Rimmel Crush. Nice isn’t it? I only wear it on the bottom lips for the first 2 pictures but both/ whole lips on the third.

*Please excuse my so bare face as I was lazy to put on foundation hahahha!

Skittles Lip Balm?

Me again! I was wondering around Walmart cosmetic section just likes the usual. Whenever I have to go there to buy some deodorant or fish food, etc, I will always take a tour to the makeup department. I don’t usually buy stuff from there, unless has been stated or known by others that the product is amazing.

For many years, I stay with Blistex lip balm – Berry flavour? I forgot but it is the pink reddish one. I love it so much and I think it is one trustable lip balm. I do try a couple lip balms such as Nivea, Softlips, Chapstick, Neutrogena, etc.

But for today, my eyes were wondering into these... I would say kid’s make up section? Or perhaps for teen? And I found lip balm with lollipops flavour, cookie, etc. I was a little bit sceptics about their quality but I give it a try. I bought Tropical Skittles lip balm and it is ok. I love the smell and as for moist, I don’t think it’s bad. I would say it’s the same range like Chapstick or better since chapstick doesn’t smell this good.


So, if you’re bored with your usual lip balm, I don’t see why we should not give these good smelly babies a try.

Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask

Want cheap but with quality face mask?

Try Montagne Jeunesse!! Sounds cool? Nah~ I got these mini pack face mask from Walmart, Zellers, and many other general store.




I took two of many kinds, Peel-Off Masque and Deep Sea Mud Pack. The chocolate stress reliever is tempting but I decided to go with these two. I would like to try the peel off mask compare to my regular Freeman peel off mask. In the end, I think I’d stick with my Freeman. I think it is more quality and quantity for better price.

I kind of like the Deep Sea. Feels like the H2O marine see mask but cheaper in price and quality. Still, it is usable and trusted. It is not that cheap cheap quality.

These face mask costs $1 something for each. I think after tax and what not the total comes close to $1.50 each. You can use 1 pack for 2-3 times. I would recommend that you tear the package carefully. Try not to make so big and of tear. Why? To keep the moistness of the mask since you can use it for more than once. As for me, I did that and then I place the mask inside a zip lock bag. I use it once a week. So for me, 1 package last for 3 weeks since I only use it once a week. Try not to store it for too long.
