revlon colorburst lipsticks in carnation and soft rose.
i bought it with buy 1 get 1 free deal at priceline. the retail price of this in australia is $24. very pricey! i stil think it's pricy with this deal.
i like the lipstick case. it looks quite elegant for a drugstore product. something nice to pull out from lipstick case for a touch up.
i like the creamy textrue, very moisturizing. good for dry winter days.
the color is buildable, from sheer to more intense - just don't expect it can be as intense as the matte lipsticks.
most important of all, it's unscented <-- i still remember the unpleasent scent in early revlon lipsticks, but i lived with it because i thought that's how lipsticks are.

soft rose is a very neutral color. love the natural brown tone. it's my kind of nude color.
i really love how this color looks on me. only 1 coat was applied in this pic.

carnation is bright pink. as previously mentioned, i chose this color because i wanted to try pink and it looked good on holly ann-aeree. one of those omg it looks so good on her and i want it!
i'm not sure how i like it on me. too bright? doesn't suit my skin tone? doesn't match the look? or i need to get use to the color? maybe it looks better in summer? i need advise from pink experts!

it's minimal makeup. no base. just concealer, brow, eyeliner (top only) and mascara. my dry skin has improved slightly from last week.
on my lips, revlon colorburst in carnation and l'oreal lipgloss in muse. the gloss is light pink but tone down the bright pink and it looks so much better than on its own. but i'm still unsure if pink is for me.
