Recent Discoveries

I have made a few new beauty purchases that I wanted to share with you guys!

I'll start with the bad news first and end with good news!

I am on the hunt for new mascara. I've been slowly transitioning myself into wearing more mascara after wearing falsies for over two years straight. So I went ahead and purchased They're Real mascara by Benefit Cosmetics. I am a huge Benefits Cosmetics fan! They have released new blush box sets that I'm dying to get my hands on (only at Sephora). But I was highly disappointed about They're Real mascara. Unfortunately, I have very thin and short lashes. The mascara was very voluminousness, but did not give any length effect, which I need the most. I would recommend this product to anyone who already has long lashes! Guess Benefit mascaras are just not for me.

On a brighter note, I found ANOTHER lip product I am obsessed with! You've probably heard of them ... The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. I have two, but have only opened one. So far... so amazing! The jumbo pencil has a retractable bottom, so there is no sharpening needed! It is very moisturizing, so it is NOT a lie when they call it a balm. I did find that after the second coat (once the first coat fades, of course), it stains just perfectly! And they also were NOT kidding when they said kissable. I kissed my nieces nonstop forgetting I had lip product on and there was a very minimal stain left on their cheeks! So all you girls who have boyfriends that are not a fan of lipstick or lip gloss, this product is just for you! I definitely recommend this product to everyone!

Revlon Lip Butter vs. Loreal Paris Color Riche Balm

This is an epic battle between two products released around the same time. Though it's a tricky to decide which is best for you, I thought I'd give you some insight on my experience with both products. I do love both products and they both serve good purposes. The Revlon Lip Butter is great for the girl who is experiencing with new lip colors and lipstick. The lip butter is moisturizing with beautiful pigmentation. While the Color Riche Balm is more a tinted lip balm. I find purposes for both! I do also mix the two for certain lip looks, (as I've shared in previous post). Lots of bloggers and vloggers have talked about this battle between the two products. In my perspective, there's no winner or even a war to be fought. Both are very different! The best part is that both are moisturizing. On the days you're looking for a light tint/sheen, go for the Color Riche Balm. The days you're feeling bold, but don't want to carry so much makeup, grab the lip butter!
