Today’s red lip post is on Revlon’s Wine Not lipstick. This is a true matte lipstick which I find can be very drying on the lips. I had exfoliated before applying this lipstick and it still looks horrible after I applied.

 

This lipstick is acquired taste for sure. To me, it’s very “silent-film-esque” –a very deep brown/ red color. It’s super intense and kinda takes on a “gothic” feel on my NW20 skin tone. I remember being quite fond of this color last year but swatching it and trying it on for today’s blog post–I’m sot so sure about it now. I think it would look better on a darker skin tone for sure!

I thought it’d be funny to include this photo of me wearing Revlon’s Wine Not lipstick in black & white–see?! It’s very Silent Film-esque! Now all I need is a short bob hair cut & a finger wave! *lol* xoxo

My Bonne Bell Lip Collection

My Bonne Bell Lip Collection




Now this is pretty hilarious to look at but this is my Bonne Bell collection!!! As I like to say, I have rekindled my love affair with Bonne Bell. I have acquired most of it within the last 6-7 months. I am a huge fan of the Bonne Bell Lip Lites & Lip Shakes. But I do have other items such as the Lip Frosting, Lip Balms, Lip Smackers, and so on… I really love flavored lip glosses, especially ones that are priced on the cheaper side ;-)


Believe it or not, some of these lip glosses can look as good as a higher end glosses. I do adore my MAC lipglasses however,  they are a little pricey and Bonne Bell is a cheaper alternative.  In order to achieve a high end look, you usually have to apply a few coats. I usually like to reapply every hour or so. I know a lot of gals don’t want to be bothered with reapplying gloss so frequently but I really don’t mind.  The delicious flavors make up for the fact that you have to reapply every so often.


The Lip Shakes tend to be more on the creamer side, I prefer to wear these in the winter. Most of my Bonne Bell glosses are pretty sheer and I prefer that  because 99.9% of the time, I have some sort of smoky eye going on.


If you are a person that loves scented glosses & if you do not mind reapplying, then I totally recommend that you try out the Bonne Bell lip products!
