Tokidoki Lipgloss in Sandy

SCARY! That is exactly what I thought about this gloss when I first saw it online. I've been wanting to try Tokidoki for a long time, but I never really knew what to buy from them. Everything changed when Sephora sent me an email telling me about their fabulous new 500 point reward (a fabulous Tarte set) and that, by the way, I was only four points away from it. So did I meticulously look through my shopping list for something I had wanted forever? Did I look through my make-up collection to see if I had anything that was getting low that needed to be replaced? Nope! I went to the sale section and clicked on the cheapest things I could find that interested me. I will even admit that I clicked on a couple other products first but they weren't available. Finally I found this green lip gloss.

I had definitely seen this before, and every time I came across it my thought process was "ew gross, who would want green lipgloss?" I really couldn't let the Tarte 500 point perk slip through my fingers, so I said "what the hell" and bought it. And I'm glad I did.

As you can see from the swatch, it only has the slightest hint of green when applied. It has this cute snow-globe packaging which I like to shake (mature, right?). It smells like blueberries which I love, and the best part is that it isn't sticky. It also has an applicator that I've never seen before. It's like a floppy spatula. Weird, but effective.

I like this product and I am eager to try more Tokidoki items in the future. If you have any suggestions for stuff I should try, or if you just want to say hi please leave a comment!

Also I'm nearing my 100th post! I will be hosting a giveaway when that time comes, rules to follow. Get ready people!

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Rosy Nude

I originally purchased this lipstick out of frustration. I was looking all over for the Revlon Lip Butters but I couldn't find them anywhere (I talk about this in my review of them). I went to Rite Aid and thought that I might as well try the lipstick if I couldn't get the lip butter. In the end I obviously ended up finding the lip butters (and they are now stocked in drugstores all over) but I don't regret buying this lipstick.

First of all the packaging is awesome. Like the lip butters, it has the diamond pattern in two of the sides. It also has the color of the product on the top so if you have a bunch of them, you can easily tell which one is which! Don't you wish all lipsticks were like that? Another thing I love about this is the "Revlon" that is embossed on the actual product. I know it really doesn't matter, but I think it is really classy when lipsticks do this.

Now on to the product itself. As the name indicates, this lipstick is a rosy nude. If it was a shade lighter it would be my lips but better, but instead it is a little darker. I really love the color of it because I have so many colors that are my lips but better, but this one does look different and very pretty on.

I think that this color would be nice for day or night. For day this is best worn with a simple eye look but it also transitions very nicely into a night time color without looking too dramatic.

I really enjoy this lipstick. I'll have to pick up some more!
