Revlon has been catching my eye lately with some of their new products. It seems they are not only creating new colors, but also updating their packaging which is a great thing in my book. Will they update their nail polish bottle shapes soon? One can only hope

Perusing a Bed Bath and Beyond near me, which recently added a makeup area much to my surprise, I came across these new Colorburst Lipglosses and couldn’t pass them up.

They have about 15 colors now ranging from nude to deep red to pink to brown.

These claim to “make lips pop with 5x more shine than patent leather”. I can tell you that isn’t true, but they are shiny!

These glosses are very unsticky, and they feel very moisturizing. The wear time is pretty great, I wore Hot Pink the other day for about 4 hours and had pretty much no fading at all!

It’s official. I am a Benefit Ultra Lip Shine junkie, and with the new five new colors colors they have out for spring, I might have to make more space in my lipgloss drawer to accommodate them.

What I love about Ultra Lip Shines are that they are pigmented, very glossy, moisturizing, last a decent amount of time and smell lightly fruity. They also look really good layered over a matching colored lipstick if you want slightly more pigmentation.

I’m also a fan of the newer (as of the last 6 months or so) tube shape and design. It’s feels weighty and nice in my hand, which I always associate with higher end products. Maybe I’m just a wack-a-doo
