REVLON LIP BUTTERS


Ok, so these are nothing new! But here's my two cents....

I love these Revlon Lip Butters! I love that they are not too pigmented, are super moisturizing, and have tons of colors to choose from. I can't remember how many there are...there's a ton! But I've picked up these 5 and probably won't pick up anymore. These really remind me a lot of the Rimmel Moisture Renewal lipsticks, which I also love!

Here they are swatched on the back of my hand and then on my lips! You can sheer them out even more, but I piled them on a bit so you can really see the color!



I really enjoy each of these shades, but have worn Pink Truffle & Peach Parfait the most so far. I can see myself repurchasing theses colors when I run out! I love that I don't have to wear a balm under these and that they have enough shine I don't have to wear a gloss on top either!






I feel like all these colors are pretty wearable! I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed Red Velvet. I got several compliments the day I wore it to work. The Berry Smoothie must be named after Strawberry's, because with a name like that, I though it would be more of a deep mauve, purple color, but I still enjoy it!  There are many colors in the collection that I just don't care for, but I still think look beautiful on other people! You can't go wrong picking a few of these up if you haven't already! What's your favorite color?

ALL THAT JAZZ FLAPPER GIRL



Check out this sexy flapper costume from Sexy Costume Discounters! I know it's not Halloween, but I just finished reading "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella---my total favorite author..and was just so inspired to dress up like a flapper myself! Now, I haven't had a chance to wear this out anywhere...but I'm planing on doing a video tutorial on my youtube channel just because I want to! I'll just have to convince all my friends to get flapper costumes too so we can have a 20's themed party!

Ok, now on the the review! I got the Sexy All That Jazz Flapper Plus Costume. For $54.99 you get the dress, choker, head dress, and boa! They have have other accessories like shoes, cigarette holder, gloves, wigs, etc... but I didn't get any of those yet.

 I was a little nervous that it would cling to my body in all the wrong places, but I love it! The only thing I would change is that the fringe is only on the front...it would be nice if it was in the back also. Another concern I had before I got it was that it might be too long, since I'm such a shrimp standing at 5'2"...but it just fits me perfectly! I just love all the little details of this costume! I think it's definitely worth the price. I am very pleased with the quality of the dress! I can't wait to accessorize it and wear it to a party!!! Will certainly post pictures when I do!

The customer service and shipping are also outstanding with Sexy Costume Discounters. They are also doing a promotion right now that gives your free shipping on orders over $35! So if you have some kind of costume party to go to, want to wear a sexy costume for reasons of your own (wink wink), or just want to be really prepared for Halloween already.....check them out!

This site has tons (20 to be exact!) of other flapper costumes (in lots of sizes!), check them out! Which one is your favorite?
