Small Revlon Haul and Random Ramblings

Today Aslan and I said goodbye to Paris (or The Little One) for she has already taken to a new home. I hope she will always be happy with her new human!

Meanwhile, Aslan seems to be very cool about it and now he's back on being "king of the house" again. He really likes to boss around and tell me to do things ("pet me!" or "put more kibbles in my bowl!") but one thing he's not too fond of is having to take pictures with me!

I like how Aslan's head looks so fluffy here, lol

bye bye Paris, thank you for staying with us :D

I'm fully aware that it's not myspace but I did a little camwhoring last night and I like how this particular picture turns out...

To all of you my fellow Indonesian beauty junkies, I am happy to report that finally, Revlon is having a discount right now. I'm not kidding you. I can't remember the last time they did this... oh wait, they never did. And well, it's not really a big discount either, 20% off on purchases over Rp 200.000. But hey, it's better than nothing. Plus, they have added more stuff now. There are some new lipsticks (from the ColorStay line and something else... I can't remember the name but they have gold packaging, can anyone tell me what line they're from?). I also saw some new shades of the Super Lustrous lipgloss, new stocks of Colorstay Blemish Concealer (I've never seen them at the counters before), and a new line of mascara. In my opinion, they are worth checking out, especially the concealer because, for once, they actually offer darker shades! They should do the same with the foundations; widen the shade choices since we're not all "beige" here. Duh. :P

Here comes my mini haul...


I got:
- ColorStay Blemish Concealer in Medium (640)
- ColorStay lipstick in Creamy Coral (245)
- Super Lustrous lipgloss in Nude Lustre (040)


Also got two pair of lashes from "Trendy"? I'm not sure where these lashes are from but there's a Japanese writing on the box so maybe it's Japanese. Lol. Great quality of lashes though. They cost me around 3 bucks each at the mall. The first pair looks natural and very school/work-appropriate too.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Nude Lustre

First thing I noticed when I apply this gloss on my lips is that it's creamy but not too sticky, smooth application (seriously), and the fact that there's no strong smell like the Mineral Lipglaze has. It's exactly what I want from a gloss! The color Nude Lustre is, well, a bit sheer but I believe there are more pigmented shades available in the range. I'm also still not sure about the lasting power. I think it might be better than my NYX megashine lipglosses though. I think Megashine is better pigmentation-wise, but not application-wise. I feel like Megashine tends to move a lot on the lips and accentuate my lip lines.

I want to get more shades of this gloss but the other shades are too shimmery for my liking. For some reason I like cream finish glosses (like MAC's cremesheen). Maybe because sometimes when the color of shimmery gloss fades, the glitter stays on the lips making my lips look "meh".

Revlon ColorStay lipstick in Creamy Coral

It looks so cute when I swatched it at the counter but when I went home and tried it again on my lips I was like, "OH NOES. TOO BRIGHT!"

Haha, I'm such a klutz.

swatches!

This is my first coral lipstick, though, everything else in my stash is either nude, pink, or peach. I think it would look fine paired with natural eye makeup and when I want a little bit more drama on the lips department.

Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer in Medium

First impression: cool stuff! It has a rating of 3.7 on MUA so that's why I got it. It gives me enough coverage for my silly tiny blemishes and hides the redness, but it's kind of hard to blend. I will be trying it out more before I make further judgment about it. :)

Anyways.
I have a question for my American blogger friends/readers: hypothetically, if I were to go to the US for a brief vacation, would you suggest me going to the east coast or west coast? I don't want to jinx it but I've always wanted to go to the US. I am partial to east coast (NYC!) but my sister voted for California already. What do you say? I'm open for any cool recommendations you guys have! Even if I'm not going this year, I can always refer to your recommendations later when I finally get the opportunity to go.

Thank you so much for reading my blog and commenting!
