Christmas gift sets from Revlon

December 9th, 2011

At this time of year you can’t enter a department store without tripping over displays of cosmetic and perfume gift sets.

Revlon’s Christmas gift set range is always fairly extensive, with something in there for most budgets. While I personally find the colour choices in their sets fairly safe, not everybody is as fond of green nail polish as I am, so here’s my pick of gift sets to please the makeup lover:

Perfect Plums Set ($35.00)

Includes a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Plumalicious, Revlon LashFinder Mascara in Black, Revlon ColorStay Lipliner in Plum and a beautiful kiss-lock purse.

Mini Delights ($35.95)

Includes a Revlon Simply Enchanting 10ml Roll-on, Revlon Love Her Madly 10ml Roll-on, Revlon Classic Nail Enamel in Coral Me Wild and a cute coin purse with matching compact mirror.

Colourburst Lips Set ($45.00)

Includes Revlon ColorBurst Lipsticks in Soft Rose, Blush, and Soft Nude together with a gorgeous bow purse.

From Day to Night Eyes Set ($45.00)

Includes a Revlon CustomEyes Shadow & Liner in Sweet Innocence, Revlon CustomEyes Shadow & Liner in Smoky Sexy, Revlon CustomEyes Mascara in Black and a gorgeous coin pouch. Exclusive to Farmers stores.

Illuminate your face, brighten your skin

May 24th, 2010

Don’t you just hate it when a product you love is discontinued?

I’ve never had any special allegiance to a foundation (I like my makeup cheap and cheerful more than luxe) but I used to adore Revlon Skinlights skin brightener.
It was a lot lighter than foundation, being more like a tinted moisturiser. Skinlights gave a glow without being overly sparkly or shiny looking. It was discontinued and I was disgruntled.

But I just saw a Revlon email about a new product called Age Defying Spa Face Illuminator:

Boost natural radiance for a fresh, luminous glow. Light reflecting micronized crystals illuminate on contact. Sheer colour in a lightweight, oil-free formula. SPF 18.

I’m going to check it out and see if it’s the new version of the Skinlights.
Something for those of us who want something less full on than foundation.

Have you tried this new Revlon product?
Any other recommendations for skin brighteners, tinted moisturisers, or something subtle for your face?

Reader mascara woes

October 21st, 2009

We received this email the other day from Jen:

Have you guys used the new Revlon Doubletwist Mascara, or know others who have used it? I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but I am finding it horrible. It clumps product all over the brush, and so I wipe off the excess onto the top (as I have done with previous mascaras) and then when I put it back in the bottle, and take it out again, the product is all thick on the brush! I have been using mascara for years, and its not like I am new to using it…. I emailed Revlon, but haven’t heard back from them.

I haven’t tried it myself, but Amy had this advice:

The only teeny advice I can offer is that I have a little disposable mascara wand (that I got from the Mary Kay Party) that I never disposed of. I use it to brush the clumps out of my eyelashes following using my current mascara. My current mascara is pooh too (it’s a MAC mascara but really clumpy and smudgey, but I’m determined to get my money’s worth out of it). The disposable mascara wand doubles as a brow brush too.
