Lipstick Review - Revlon Super Lustrous in 'Wild Orchid'

Okay, I'm abit late to the game on the Revlon lipsticks, I have tried the lip butter (I think that's what they're called) and I DO like those but not as much as they were raved about. However I have never tried the super lustrous lipstick range and I was browsing today, saw this colour and HAD to pick it up. The colour is 'Wild Orchid' and it is just an absolute beautiful colour in the bullet. Then I swatched it and I was sold.

The formula felt really nice and creamy, and the colour was really pigmented. It has a slight sheen to it so the colour doesn't go on exactly like what it looks like in the bullet. But I still liked the finish of it. It's such a beautiful bright colour without being difficult to pull off. 

I just love it. And I'm defiantly going to have to try some of the other colours from this range. If anyone has any other colours they've tried and love then please let me know, I'd love to hear other peoples faves. THUMBS UP REVLON!

The perfect nude.

Nude lips... It's a trend that has been around forever! I look upon celebs such a Kim Kardashian with envy, because they have the one thing I wanted.... The perfect nude.

And today, ladies, I think I have finally found mine. What do you reckon?

If you're interested in the ingrediants for my perfect nude then.. hold on, I'm about to share...

First of all I wanted to add that we are all individually beautiful, with different skin tones, lip shapes, etc. So MY perfect nude may not be yours, and vice versa. But I hope you get some inspiration or help from these products.

So here it is..

As I have fuller bottom lips but thiner upper lips I like to use a lip liner, some people love them some people hate them, I used the L'oreal infaillible lip liner in the colour Always Toasted.

Next I applied a Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick in Tantalizing Taupe, the nude lipstick wasn't TOO light that it would wash me out and wasn't too dark that it would look like a brown lip, it was the goldilocks 'just right' colour for my skin tone.

Finally I finished off this look with a swipe of Rimmel's Stay Glossy lipgloss in Non-Stop Glamour. This lipgloss is quite sheer with flaks of gold running through it, so just adds a tiny bit of shimmer. Also it's not sticky so no awkward hair sticking to your lip situation going on up in here!!!

I swatched the 3 products on my hand for you to see better the colours, from top to bottom is the Tantalizing Taupe lipstick, Always Toasted lipliner and Non-Stop Glamour gloss.

Hope you found this post helpful! Even if these colours don't match your skintone then I'd still recommend these products but in your perfect shades!
