Beauty Spotlight: Mila Kunis
This weeks Beauty Spotlight is shone directly on Friends with Benefits star Mila Kunis. The Russian beauty and former That 70s Show star lights up the big screen this month along with co-star Justin Timberlake in the romantic comedy - and if you see the film you will understand that no matter how hot JT is, it's hard to keep your eyes off of Miss Kunis who is unbelievably gorgeous and just exudes exotic beauty. *Keep your eyes on her shoes in the film too, they are to die for!* Hehehe :)

PRODUCT REVIEW: Revlon Lipstick
Hi lovelys,
I am so sorry that I haven't posted in so long but I was working a ton and then went on vacation but I am back... so get ready for more blog posts real soon.
Recently I have discovered my absolute love for Revlon lipstick. I know that many people aren't total fans of lipstick in general, and especially not drugstore lipstick... but let me tell you these are heavenly.
So far I have three shades of their lipstick in the black tubes... which some are called Colorburst, but the nude ones are not. The lipsticks have great pigment and and soft on your lips so no worries about drying or overtly matte looking lips. Now I know what you're thinking... doesn't that mean that they could bleed? Well so far for me, even when I wear them out on hot summer nights they stay put. I have yet to try a red shade which would be the ultimate test, but I think it is a safe bet if you wanna give it a try. You could probably use a primer or pencil if you are afraid of it feathering out onto your face but you should be alright :)
The first shade I ever tried was actually a year ago, before I really got into lipstick and it was the shade Soft Nude (070) and I absolutely loved it. I wanted a lipstick that cancelled out any sort or redness in my lips and this definitely did. I do wear it in the winter, but it is definitely more of a summer shade... not to mention it looks fab with a tan!
The second and third shades I got relatively close to each other and they were both kind of impulse buys, but they were only about $7.50 each and when I got them at CVS I got $4 in CVS Ca$h which was great and justifiable. Hehehe.
One of the shades is the perfect summery barbie pink and it is the shade Candy Pink (008). I really wanted a bright pink shade and it is perfect for a night out, especially if you wear a neutral outfit and face and then just add that perfect pop of color!
The third shade I purchased was actually bought for a specific look in mind. My most recent beauty spotlight was of Rosie Huntington Whiteley whose is just absolutely gorgeous and always has a sort of well *rosy nude lip color. Her lips are just so natural and full and lovely, so I found the shade (065) Rosy Nude (coincidence?) and it is a really gorgeous sort of nude with just richer color added to it... way darker than the soft nude shade.
I love this shade, but it is a tad dark for summer I think, but when layered with the soft nude it is the exact shade I had in mind and it is my new favorite lip combo. Sometimes I throw on some NARS Super Orgasm lipgloss on top and it is just nude and glowy and so pretty.
If anyone tries them Comment below and let me know what you think! xxx
