First thing I will say about this product is that is neither a lipstick nor a gloss. Revlon found a suitable name for it: “lipglaze”.  It is a mixture between melted lipstick and gloss. It feels more like a lipstick on the lips but looks more like a gloss. I was very intrigued by some reviews on YouTube so, I’ve tried it myself. The shade I’ve chosen was Continuous Pink: a very light baby pink with gold reflex. The variety of shades is pretty large going form extremely light to very dark shades.

The set consists in 5 shades of eyeliners, from the left in the picture: Covet (deep green), Lucky (bronze copper), Lust (brilliant violet), Zero (true black) and Electric (bright teal blue).

The set can be found at Sephora (at least I bought it there), for around 20$. The pencil eyeliners are not full size, they come in small travel sizes. The full size weights 1.2 g and costs 17$ each.

I’ve wanted them for so long, because I’ve heard a lot of good things about them. Actually, I wanted to try the black one, Zero, but I bought the set, just to try other shades, too. Out of the 5 shades, I love the black one and the teal blue (Electric), the rest are pretty ordinary (in terms of shades), at least to me.

Clinique’s Superfit foundation was a very nice surprise for me.

First of all I was never a huge fan of Clinique products (nothing seemed to work for me) and I was not keen on trying their make-up for a long time. Now I know why. That is because I was using the wrong products (those that were not specific for my skin type). Now, after I finally understood, I’ve included Clinique’s 3 Step System in my daily skincare routine and I just adore it. Actually I am addicted to it. I said lets try their make-up.

I got this foundation from my sister. She hated it. She said she looked yellow and shiny. I think she has drier skin than mine. I gave it a try and I don’t regret it. Before hand I should say that I have combination/oily skin. According to the specification on the product, this foundation is specially created for oily skin. It claims to give a matte finish, to be long wearing and the formula is non oil whatsoever. This is the official description more or less. The formula is very “watery”. To be honest, I was not expecting that from a foundation for oily skin.

Maybelline has a huge range of lip products (hydrating lipsticks, shiny lipsticks, glosses, long wear lipsticks etc). In my opinion they do a much better job with these products than with mascaras. I liked all their lipstick collections (Moisture Extreme – my most favorite one, Watershine, Color Sensational, Superstay), generally because they have a huge range of shades and they are very affordable. From what I know, lipstick is the cheapest make-up product (in terms of costs for a company), that is why I was rarely tempted to buy high end lipsticks.

Maybelline confirms it. Often expensive lipsticks are worst than drugstore. From my experience, you can not go wrong with Maybelline or Rimmel lipsticks. They can always be compared with high end brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Clinique or even MAC.
