Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick - Temptress



This is a lovely pink lipstick that I just love the shade of.
It is creamy and won't dry your lips.


On nude lips
However, it does apply patchy and has poor coverage :(
It also has a short lifetime, even without eating/drinking.

Over the ASAP Pure lip liner in 'Three'
Hmm, I need a softer pink lip liner for this one.

It's easier to get the Revlon Colorburst lip crayon in 'Elusive'.

Price: 2/5 ($22.95 for 4.2g)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

Avon - Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold Lipstick - Golden Rose


This lipstick has real (probably colloidal) gold in it, which I think is fun!



It is a soft pink colour with lots of gold shimmer.
I like it, but it can be a little drying.
It also isn't very long lasting.

*I have since found out that Avon did a limited edition run of lipsticks with ruby in it... I'm so mad I don't have one!

Price: 2/5 ($19.99)
Scent: 3/5 (vague berry)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Napoleon Perdis - Eye Liner - Bottle Green



This is a dark green eye liner that applies smooth.
The colour is vibrant and almost a metallic look on.


It does however move/transfer easily, so not a great lifetime.

Price: 2/5 ($30)
Scent: 2.5/5 (pencil smell)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Crabtree & Evelyn - Iris - Eau de Toilette


This is a straight iris scent, and is quite lovely.
I only wish it were a little stronger (but it would be nice for someone who just wants the tiniest touch of fragrance).


Fragrantica lists the notes as bergamot (no), cassis (no), iris (yes), orris root (no), vetyver (no), musk (no), sandalwood (no), patchouli (no), and Virginia cedar (no).

I don't know where they think all those notes are hiding.  



Price: 1/5 ($70 for 100mL)
Effectiveness: 2/5
Strength: Low
Lifetime: Short
Time: Daytime
Season: Spring
