My Fave Drugstore Lipsticks! Revlon

I love love love lipstick. I think there is nothing more feminine and beautiful than a tube of fresh lipstick and I have distinct memories of playing with my mom's lipsticks when I was younger! That being said I can be pretty picky when it comes to my lipstick (aka I'm a bit of a lipstick snob). Everything comes in to play when I'm choosing one: appearance, color payoff, texture, smell....you name it!

I have found that Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick takes the cake in the drugstore for scoring an A+ in all my judging criteria.  The packaging in itself is beautiful.  Just a simple black tube (with clear top so you can see what color is inside!) with gold embellishing. The lipsticks are amazingly pigmented. Some of them can be a little bit shimmery, but if you don't like that look than slapping on a creamy lipgloss will offset the shimmer! The lipsticks also basically have no scent....I know that seems weird to care about but when its on your lips you can smell it!

I own four of these babies. From left to right: Silver City Pink (405), Softshell Pink (410), Champagne on Ice (205), and Blushed (420).

The Softshell Pink color (second from left) is my ultimate favorite for the summer. It is a brighter pink with out being totally fuschia and adds the most beautiful yet noticeable flush of pink to your lips! It comes highly recommended :)
The right two colors are great for fall. They're a little darker and more sultry.

Do you like Revlon lipsticks? What are your favorite colors??

Drugstore Find!: Covergirl's Tapestry Taupe

I'm lovin these drugstore finds! High end products are great to use but they're not so great on your wallet :/ That's why it is so so SO exciting to find great makeup at the drugstore! Fabulous quality at a low cost = a happy beauty junkie :)
Today's drugstore find is a single eyeshadow by Covergirl called 'Tapestry Taupe.'

It is a beautiful taupe color that would be so lovely in the crease or even washed all over the lid for a nice neutral look.

This color has some goldish undertones to it and is more brown than gray. I love that about this shadow because it means it's a warmer color allowing for you to rock it on your lid with out looking too dramatic!
This color does not get chunky or chalky upon application, and the eyeshadow stays put on the lid. There was no fall-out when I applied this tantalizing taupe!

The pigmentation of this product is lovely so I think it is a must for a makeup maven! It was only about $3 and you get quite a bit of product--2.5g. For comparison's sake, a MAC eyeshadow only has 1.5g of product. This was definitely a pleasant find for me!
Let me know if you're going to check out this color! I can't speak for any other Covergirl single eyeshadows as I haven't tried them, so let me know if you have and what your faves are!

How would you rock this taupe shade?
