05 Dec Makeup Review, Swatches: Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks Eyeshadow, Cheek Boutique Powder Blushes/Highlighting Palette, Colorburst, Matte Balm, Parfumerie Nail Polish
“Mix. Match. Click. With new Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks, now you can create your own customized palette of possibilities.” Have you ever gone into a store and found the perfect eyeshadow palette with the exception of one color? I know I have!
(Left to Right): Bone, Petal, Blush, Plum, Cobalt & Onyx
Come January, Revlon is introducing Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks ($2.99 each). They are individual eyeshadows that click together to form palettes. With a vast array of shades, you can take daytime looks into nighttime with one simple palette — all customized by you.
I love having the freedom to choose the colors that I want in my palette. The shade range includes neutrals, pinks/plums, blues/grays, greens/golds and black/browns.
“Revlon suggests starting your custom palette by picking your favorite color, adding a light shade to highlight and finishing with a deeper shade to define.” I used Blush, Onyx, Plum and Cobalt to create a subtle smoky eye.
I would suggest using a denser brush to get a higher color payoff. These are going to be great when you are going on vacation and you can’t take your whole makeup kit!

“Revlon, The Color Authority, is bringing big news to the blush category with the launch of what we are calling our ‘Cheek Boutique,’ offering three new ways to enhance your cheek bones and play up your beauty look.”
The “three new ways” they are talking about are with their new powder blushes, highlighting palettes and a new cream blush. I tried the Revlon Powder Blushes ($9.99) in Oh Baby! Pink, Haute Pink, and Naughty Nude.
The powders are super-silky and soft, and add that natural flush of color like you just left the gym. This girl is smitten with a bright pink blush, so I instantly fell in love with Haute Pink. The blush powder offers sheer coverage, so don’t be afraid to try a brighter color.
“The Revlon Highlighting Palette ($10.99) is a captivating brick highlighter.” I am so excited for this product; I love a good highlighter. The Rose Glow highlighter is a combination of rose pink, bright pink and mauve.
It efficiently brought a soft, sheer wash of color to my skin. I used this in combination with the Haute Pink and Oh Baby! Pink to create a natural, sunkissed look with chiseled cheeks.

Well, hello LIPS! Revlon is introducing their new ColorBurst line that is filled with a plethora of colors ranging from berry to orange to fuchsia.
These colors are so much fun and the product is equally as exciting. I wore the Laquer Balm in Flirtatious for Thanksgiving and I received so many compliments. It was so moisturizing, which was key because I tend to have very dry lips.
The color was long-lasting and even when it did fade, I looked like I had a beautiful stained pucker. There are a total of 30 colors, but are available in categories with different finishes.

Revlon introduces their new take on nail polish: shiny shades that provide a flawless application and a fragrance when they dry! Yes, you heard me correctly! Nail polish that is a perfume!
“Revlon Parfumerie Nail Enamel ($5.99) offers 24 delectably scented colors in a variety of finishes from creams to glitters. The collection is divided into 3 fragrance and color families: Fruits & Florals, for exotic and fruity fragrance notes in vibrant, punchy shades; Sweets & Spices for woody, spicy fragrance notes in deep, rich shades and Freshes for crisp, clean scents in light and airy shades.”
I swatched Wild Violets and China Flower. The color was vibrant (this picture was only one coat). It was interesting to have a light scent on my nails. You know when you wash your hands and it leaves that faint scent of soap? That is what it was like. I would occasionally be like, “What is that smell? Oh yeah, it is my nails.” I am definitely interested to see the other colors
and smell the other scents.
Available December 2013, drug and mass retailers nationwide and on Revlon.com.
