Revlon 9429U Make-Up Mirror Review

Hello lovelies, 

There have been two things lately that have really made a difference to how I apply my make-up. The first is my Real Techniques brush set that I talked about the other day in this post, the other is something I asked for  and received at Christmas; this Revlon mirror. 

A decent mirror is something that I'd needed for a while. Even more so when it's so dark and dull in the mornings like it is here at this time of year. I originally had my eye on the No 7 one from Boots but when my mum offered to buy me this one for Xmas I wasn't going to say no! She got it at £25 on half price offer from  Very. 

I've now been using it every day since Xmas and have to say that I love it. It's so so handy for getting a good close up (scary at times!) of your face. I usually just use the normal side but the 3x magnifying side is really good for doing your eyebrows because you can see them so well to get individual ones out. It can be angled at almost any position, the only thing you can't change is the height (which I wouldn't expect anyway). I really like the fact that it plugs in so you don't have to worry about batteries and also that it's so easy to flick on and off. The illumination is excellent and I can see really clearly in the mirror in poor light. 

I'm very pleased with it and just hope the bulb will last or be replaceable when it does go!

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

As you may know by now, I like to enter competitions in my spare time. Last week I was lucky enough to receive not one, but two of these lipsticks that I won through the Revlon Facebook page. They were giving away 100 a day, each day a different colour.

When they arrived they were beautifully packaged which made receiving them that extra bit special.

Cute Candy Striped Paper Bags

I was even more impressed to open them and find some sweets inside!

This was what was inside each bag. Sweets too!

There are 20 shades in the range; the two I won are Peach Parfait and Berry Smoothie. They are both gorgeous and luckily are colours I will actually wear and pull off!

I'd describe Peach Parfait as a coral shade, with both peachy and pink tones, whereas Berry Smoothie is a slightly richer, pink shade. Both shades have glittery particles that made the lipstick quite shimmery looking. There are also 18 other shades! The lip butters glide on incredibly well and have all the qualities of a lip balm in a lipstick, with mango, shea and cocoa butters to moisturise lips. They RRP at £7.99 and are available at Boots, Superdrug, etc.

Pretty pleased with these!

Thank you Revlon!
