There are actually 24 shades in the Neutrals range, so here’s part one. This time I took the swatch photos with flash on, which I think is a bit more accurate.
Coralberry (creme), Champagne on Ice (pearl), Sparkling Cider (pearl), Caramel Glacé (pearl), Sandalwood Beige (creme), Highbeam Tan (pearl)
Fun fact: my first blush ever was the Revlon blush with the rectangular pan in a shade called Sandalwood. And yes, I did use the tiny brush included.
Copper Chrome (pearl), Toast of New York (creme), Rum Raisin (creme), Blushing Nude (creme), Chocolate Velvet (creme), Cocoa Bronze (pearl)
I unintentionally took this second photo with my arm at a different angle in relation to the lighting overhead so these swatches look like have less of a shine than those in the first one.
Again, a very pigmented shade range. The only one that sticks out is Coralberry. This bright pink is a lovely colour (especially for Spring!) but seems like it would fit better with the Pinks. It is too bright to be in Neutrals and doesn’t have brown tones to it like the others.

Here are the long-awaited swatches for Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in the red range. You can see the swatches for the plum range here and my review for SL lipstick in Wine With Everything (a red!) here.
Peach Me (creme), Fire & Ice (creme), Ravish Me Red (creme), Love That Red (creme), Wine With Everything (creme)
Kiss Me Coral (creme), Wine With Everything (pearl), Spicy Cinnamon (pearl), Raspberry Bite (creme), Sultry Sable (creme), Blackberry (creme)
No duds here. I was quite impressed with the pigmentation, and they applied very smoothly. It was while swatching these shades that I fell for Wine With Everything, which I went on to love and review. It’s kind of strange that there are two Wine With Everything shades, but one is a frost/pearl (#520) and the other is the creme I own (#525). The creme is a deeper colour that doesn’t have as much pink.
I’ll try to take in-store swatches with a flash instead from now on. I think it captures the colour more accurately, even though it will probably attract more attention to the weird girl with lipstick up to her elbow 9______9

Lipstick and I are still in the beginnings of our relationship. For so long, I avoided it in favour of glosses and tinted balms, thinking that lipsticks were heavy and “too much” (aesthetically speaking) for my preferred makeup style. Lipstick was this thing my mom wore to weddings and other special evening occasions.
Super Lustrous proved me wrong and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Actually, I was planning on writing a review on my first-ever lipstick Mauvy Night, the lovely and highly-wearable shade in the Super Lustrous Plum family. Then while swatching the SL Reds (coming up this week), I fell for creme-finish Wine With Everything and scooped it up on sale ($4!!!)

I’m not sure why some of these colours have been classified as plums (as specified by the Revlon Super Lustrous display) or what makes a colour plum in a technical sense. I’d call maybe the deeper half of the range plums, and the rest pink and red.
Most of the swatches here achieved lovely colour with 2-3 strokes, but there were a few exceptions. Satin Plum seems rather sheer and might not show up if you have pigmented lips. The swatch you see is about the most you can build this shade up to. On the other hand, Berry Rich was beautiful after just one stroke.

Anonymous asked: Do you take requests for reviews? If so,
can you please do one in Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks? And also swatches and which of them you like best?
Please and thank you!
Sure do, especially when people ask as nicely as you have :3
I will try to get a review up next week, since I do own and love the shade Mauvy Night. In the meantime, I am posting swatches for Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in the Plum range tomorrow. I want to try and share the Super Lustrous love by posting as many swatches for these lipsticks as possible, but there are 72 shades so it might take a while. If you (or anyone else reading) have a colour range you are really interested in seeing (pinks, reds, browns, corals, etc.), give me a shout.

Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks with SPF 18 come in 24 shades, categorized into shade categories including the Pinks and Mauves range I swatched recently.
Pink Star, Fancy, Vintage Pink, Crystal Mauve, Amethyst Shimmer, Burgundy Lustre
MIA: Latino, Glamorous Pink, Electric Plum, Cherrylicious
Almost all the shades have shimmer (some more than others); Vintage Pink is the only lipstick swatched here with no shimmer.
I own Moisture Renew lipsticks in Soft Coral and Rose Sorbet and find them to be indeed non-drying and light to wear. They’re lovely for sheerer, natural look that provides enough colour to perk up your face.

I’ve become a fan of lipsticks and glosses in pencil form since buying Quo’s and GOSH’s versions and I want more. Enter Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Sticks. I swatched them a while back and really fell for the lovely colours and smooth texture.
While it doesn’t look like your conventional lipstick, they are described as doing the job of one—and more, by providing the same creamy, pigmented colour while also giving the precision of a lip liner. Promised plumping abilities make the Lip Sticks a single product that does three different jobs. It also comes with its own sharpener so you can always have a sharp, well-defined tip to fill in your lips perfectly.
With the Lip Sticks’ huge colour range, it’s hard to name all my favourites without this post becoming an essay, but a few are Athens (coral), San Francisco (dusty mauve), and Barcelona (scarlet).
I’ve read some comments from people about certain shades not really matching with the hometown they know. What kind of shade would your city be? For me, Vancouver would be a your-lips-but-better kind of shade: unassuming, easy to wear but chic and makes you look put together, like a slightly muted rose with a hint of warmth.

simplyiswise-deactivated2011100 asked: I'm going through all of your posts this sleepless nights & I'm wondering where in Canada you get Beauty Rush lip glosses? They're my love and I'm worried I can't find them when I move over there!
Glad my blog could keep you occupied :3 I got my Beauty Rush glosses at La Senza (pretty much Canadian Victoria’s Secret) a while ago, but it seems they no longer carry them—they’ve been replaced by La Senza’s own brand in similar packaging. The good news is that if you are moving to Ontario or Alberta, there are a couple Victoria’s Secret locations in both provinces, so you can pick them up there. Otherwise, you’ll have to (a) stock up before you head on up or (b) wait til Victoria’s Secret expands to your soon-to-be province!

How have you guys been? I was bad last week and didn’t post at all—it was a really busy week for me, between having my birthday and a couple Christmas events to attend. Are you all done your Christmas shopping, or are you getting it done at the last minute? As for me, I have everyone done but my mom (she’s the hardest to shop for).
I might be a week or two too late, but I thought I might as well put this out there for any last minute shoppers!
If you’re looking for something small and light on your wallet/credit card for a couple friends and family members, take advantage of all the value sets out there right now and break them up into several individual gifts :>
I’ve picked out a couple gift/value sets from Sephora to cover the people on your list from head to toe in different price ranges and varying brands, so take a look~~

With the palettes ranging from edgy to naturally glam, you can fit the palette to the individual’s makeup style. Check out my Wishlist Wednesday post about it for a couple swatches. Keep the collectible tin for yourself and use to store eyeliner pencils and hairpins :3

OMGOMGOMG they’re here! Actually, I might be behind the curve on this one because it’s been available for a few weeks now I think (but better late than never~~)
My beloved Korres Lip Butters are now available in tubes! If you always wanted to try these lovely lip butters but could never bring yourself to stick your finger in a pot, you can now check out the Line-Smoothing Lip Butter Glaze Trio, exclusively at Sephora for a limited time.
The 3 glazes (Jasmine, Raspberry, Pomegranate) are promised to be smoothing and conditioning, while also bringing some shiny, pigmented colour to the party. At this time, the only shades available are these three, and they are only as part of this set, so they can’t be bought separately like the normal Lip Butters.
I know I already have Jasmine and Pomegranate for the original Lip Butters, but that isn’t holding me back at all 9_____9
