Revlon Evening Opulence Collection | Lip Butter & Colorburst Gloss

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Invite Only: £7.99 (2 for £10 in Boots)

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Gloss in Adorned: £7.99 (2 for £10 in Boots)

Revlon recently released their A/W products for 2013, called the Evening Opulence collection. It consisted of two new lip butters, two new glosses and a couple of eyeshadow quads. I picked up one lip butter and one gloss, and here are my thoughts on them!

Don't panic, the lip butter in Invite Only isn't actually mint green! Only the packaging has a minty hue, the actual lip balm is clear with mint and blue iridescent sparkles. Not really worth £7.99 if I'm honest. It's also not as soft as the usual lip butters, it has a harder more balmy texture, which I quite like. It seems to be one of those 'teeth whitening' shades because of the blue sparkles. Although I love the outer packaging, the product itself is nothing to shout about and I won't repurchase. 

The Color Burst lip gloss is a totally different story, its packed with colour! It's so pigmented I'd call it more of a lip lacquer than a lip gloss! It's a gorgeous magenta pink with pink and purple shimmer that really shows through. Plus it's not sticky! I'm really really impressed, it's the first lip gloss I've tried from Revlon and I'd definitely buy more.

MUA Haul.

A boring Saturday and a few spare pennies led me to head to my nearest half decent shopping centre, where I picked up a few things from the infamous MUA range at Superdrug!

MUA Eyeshadows in Shade 17 and Shade 19 - £1.00

Bought these two shades because I feel like I need more matte neutral colours until I get my hands on the Naked 2 palette or the Kat Von D Saint palette! Shade 17 looks very yellow but swatched its not so bad. Shade 19 is your basic dark brown matte, if Shade 17 doesn't work out I can at least use 19 for my eyebrows!

MUA Brow Pencil in Brunette - £1.00

Repurchasing this as for a pound, you can't really go wrong. Its very creamy and for my heavily filled in brows, I need to sharpen it an awful lot, but again, for a pound I don't really mind.

MUA Nail Varnish in Shade 19 - £1.00

Again, another repurchase. I'm a Barry M girl as far as high street nail polishes go, but this colour really caught my eye and I've nearly used up my first bottle. Its a gorgeous light grey/nude colour.

MUA Professional Out There Plumping Lip Gloss in Nude - £2.00

A very nice, nude coloured lip gloss. Its quite sheer and you need to put a lot on to get any sort of 'plumping' sensation, but its perfect for me. I needed something for on top of my 'Gaga Viva Glam 2' lipstick, but I wasn't willing to buy the matching lipglass; too much money for a colour I don't wear often!

The professional range from MUA costs a little more than their usual £1 range, but you definitely get a better quality item with nicer packaging.

MUA Professional 3in1 Extreme Contour Liner in Gunmetal - £1.50

Got this for free as part of a promotion, its a nice light grey with a blue irridescent shimmer through it. This is MUA's newest product and it comes in lots of lovely shades.

This is a great wee cheap range, with some surprisingly good quality items. I'm looking forward to the release of their eyelashes and BB cream later this year! What products have you tried from MUA? x
