Urban Decay: Revolution Lipgloss


The past few months I've been collecting new lip items, and I thought with Valentines day coming up I would share one of my new favourite products for kissable looking lips!

I received the Urban Decay Revolution Lipgloss in Bittersweet as a 100 point perk from Sephora, and I loved it so much I decided to pick up the Double Shot Travel-size Duo that came with their best-selling nude shade in Liar and an exclusive fuchsia shade in Anarchy!

Packaging: The packaging is really beautiful! It is very slim, and the clear packaging lets you see the colour inside. The doe foot applicator tapers allowing more precision during application and is the perfect size for swiping on colour!



Formula: These lip glosses feel so creamy and have the perfect amount of shine! The shine wears off really beautifully, leaving behind a slight stain of the colour. It is so comfortable and pigmented and contains Hilurlip which is supposed to make lips look fuller. 


Anarchy (exclusive to the duo)

Liar



Although Anarchy and Bittersweet are quite bold, I have found that they are still wearable and easy to sheer out. Liar is my perfect nude and I find myself wearing the most! These lip glosses deliver in pigment, shine, and comfort, making them a great option for an everyday lip colour! I am so excited to pick up more shades!

I hope this post was helpful! If you have any colour suggestions leave them in the comments down below! Thanks for stopping by!

Bite Beauty: Lush Fruit Lip Gloss


Thanks to Sephora's Black Friday sale, I was sucked into buying this mini lip gloss trio from Bite Beauty. I've seen some other beauty Bloggers and YouTuber's mention these products, but I thought I would do a little review of my own. 

First of all, these Lip Glosses are made with real fruit oils, which makes them taste and smell super yummy.

Packaging: To me, packaging isn't a huge deal in what makes or breaks a product, but I do have to say that I really like the simple and classic glass tube with a matte black top. The applicator is also really nice as it is a curved doe foot, making it form to your lips a bit more than the classic doe foot applicator.

                                       Currant                                        

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan 

Formula: The formula of these lip glosses is thick (in a good way!) and sticky, and they are described to be highly pigmented. The colour Currant goes on evenly, but I found that on my lips not much colour appeared. It was more of a "my lips but better" kind of gloss. Strawberry and Rambutan were both very pigmented, but I found them to go on less smoothly and that they needed to be built up to get even colour pay-off on my lips. They also settled into the lines on my lips more than Currant did. You can tell from the swatches below the difference in consistency and application on my lips between the colours. Another plus for the formula is that these glosses last a long time, and are not drying!

Strawberry (Sheer Carnation Pink)

Rambutan (Peachy Nude)

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan

I think the colours are beautiful, and that they are very true to their descriptions. Currant would have to be my favourite out of the three simply due to its smooth application, however that will not stop me from wearing the other two, because I still think that they look beautiful when I take my time to apply them.They just aren't a gloss that I could slap on without a mirror. Overall, I think that any of these glosses would be a great pick for those of you who don't mind sticky formulas!

All of these colours (and more) are available in full size at Sephora! Let me know what you think of these glosses in the comments below!
