Drugstore discovery......

Sooooo I was bored I had to wait for a friend to finish up her shopping so I decided to "wait" in Superdrug, Now I usually scan the make-up aisle every now and then since I used to work at Superdrug I still like to see what has changed and what offers are on and if the brands have added anything new.

Somehow I actually managed to buy 2 products I never thought I would, im not a snob but I always felt like drug store products were "bad" and would do something crazy to me however Revlon was different I knew the mascaras were crap ages ago because I used to laugh at how pathetic they were but I read a review on Temptalia.com where she reviewed the strawberry lipgloss and funnily enough I actually bought it without even remembering that I read that post!

Anyhoo the idea of a bright lipgloss really pulled me in I don't really own anything bright mainly because I can't see my self wearing it everyday but this was subtle not a mad in your face red I have a red lip liner from MAC in "Redd" and I thought this would go amazingly with it.

I really like the texture of Revlon colour burst its well pigmented but not too sticky, however the colour will look different from person to person, the lighter your natural lip colour the lighter the colour pigmented lips would give a red effect.

I also wanted to get a nude one but they didn't have it :( so I decided to look at the Bourjois collection I had played with their lipglosses before I liked how thin it was since I would already be wearing a nude lipstick underneath I did not want that goopy look eww but I love the way it looks gives a nice shine and a pink tinge to the nude lipstick I am wearing Peachstock lipsrick by MAC and 3D gloss in 33 Bourjois.

Ok so the formula is more sheer so pigmented lips will feel it looks ashy or a little weird however it is the perfect type of consistency to layer over lipstick
