Drugstore Nude Lipstick Review

Hello Everyone!

I’ve been on the hunt for a nude drugstore lipstick and I picked up a couple to review for you. The two I picked up were Revlon’s Extreme Super Lustrous Lipstick Matte in Nude Attitude (001) and Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish by Kate in 40.

First let’s talk about the Rimmel London by Kate nude lipstick. The packaging is beautiful and the product smells so yummy! As soon as I applied it I could tell that it was super creamy which is great for my lips as they tend to be on the drier side. The colour was super light though, much lighter than I had anticipated, however I ended up liking it. There was definitely transfer of the product though and so it would definitely need to be reapplied throughout the day. Considering it retails for about $7 Canadian (probably about $5.50 US) I think it’s pretty good for the price you’re paying. Here’s a photo of it in natural light:


Next is the Revlon Matte Nude lipstick. It doesn’t have any special scent and the packaging is pretty classic with the black body and gold finishing. It was pretty creamy which I found surprising as it is a matte lipstick, although not as creamy as the Kate lipstick. I found that the coverage for this lipstick wasn’t as great as I wanted. If you can see in the photo below, it was kind of patchy and didn’t really have full coverage. This one retails for $6 Canadian (about $4.70 US) however I don’t think it’s something I would purchase again.


Overall, the Kate lipstick was my favourite of the two, however if you’re looking for more of a matte finish it’s not the way to go. I’m still on the hunt for the best drugstore nude lipstick and so I’ll keep you all posted!

Drugstore Mascara

Hello Everyone!

I've lately been loving the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Original mascara and I wanted to review it for you! I have super long lashes but not very many of them so I'm always looking for mascara that can give me a bit of volume. This mascara not only does that, but also lengthens my lashes a bit further making them look like false lashes! My only issue is that a lot of product comes off in a few swipes and can get clumpy, so to fix this I use either the Voluminous Million Excess or Physicans Formula Organic Wear mascara to remove any clumps and help me get the look I'm going for. Other than that I absolutely love the colour as it really gets your lashes black! I've had this product before an left it in search of something else, only to always return back to it. Sometimes you just have to stick with the classics as they're the best.

Here's a photo of each product mentioned:


The wand of the voluminous original is a straight wand which at first I didn't mind, but now I feel as though I should get something with a curvy wand to help with the curl in my lashes. I don't want to say it's a downfall of the product as I've never tried a curvy wand to see if it helps with curling lashes, however my next purchase will definitely be something with a curvy wand and I'll review that for you all too. 

P.S. If you're not into super black lashes and want something very subtle, the organic wear is definitely something to get! It puts very little product on your lashes to give it a very natural look when used on it's own.
