A few months ago, I reviewed a fabulous product from Revlon, and I fell in love with their Photo Ready BB Cream. When the time came to review a second product from Revlon, there was no way I could turn down the opportunity.
I’m busy, and I mean busy in a way that I don’t even comprehend sometimes. I teach full-time, chase after a toddler, write for the blog, and still manage to squeeze in trips to the gym and make dinner each night. I’m usually running from the time I get off work in the evenings until I finally hit the bed. No time to reapply makeup between work and dance class, or before small group Bible study but, I think I manage to look pretty put together (on the outside, anyway).
One of my favorite beauty secrets is to splash on a little lip color between places. Lipstick can take you far, my friends. For some reason it instantly makes you feel put together and a little glamorous, even on days when I feel far from glamorous. And my new favorite lip color of choice is Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter. All three colors immediately went into my purse after the first application. I need these cuties with me at all times.
From top to bottom:
1. Peach Parfait–This has been my everyday go-to color since the product arrived. It’s perfect for everyday wear and not to dark at all.
2. Cotton Candy–This is such a fun color, it gave me the feel of a more nude lip. I think it’s perfect for a girl’s night out and would complement a more dramatic makeup look. It even has a fun shimmer to add an extra dimension.
3. Berry Smoothie–This color goes on a little darker than my normal wear, but it is my favorite of the three colors, I wore it on our recent date in the picture below.

I love to mix my moisturizer of choice with a tinted moisturizer to use as a base before applying mineral foundation. Mixing the two makes it go on much more smoothly.

Face powder to take away the shine and mascara.

Those lipsticks look fun! I think that always wearing a good foundation or BB cream and powder is a good plan, especially for someone like me that has uneven skin! And I was just thinking I needed to get some new lipstick today
