Hey ladies! I picked up Revlon's new Fruitful Temptations Nail Polish in Passionate Fruit over the weekend and gave myself a manicure. I have to say I am loving this nail polish!
I'm typically an OPI loyalist, and dabble in shades from Essie from time and time, but Revlon often turns out shades that catch my eye, and this is one of them! Passionate Fruit is the perfect transitional shade going into spring. It gives brown skin a nice punch of color without going over the deep end into super-bright summer shades (check out the pic below).
The wildest thing about this new collection is that it's scented! Its been three days since I applied Passionate Fruit and it still has a faint sweet, berry scent. Trust me, its very subtle, and makes for a more enjoyable manicure.
I'm going to pick up one of the coral shades next, and you should definitely give these a shot!

Matte Blush Crush
When I bought Revlon's new Matte Powder Blush in Blushing Berry, I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean, matte blush? Whatever for? But I now know the perfect use for such a blush.
When I'm wearing really bold eye make up or lip color, I like to balance everything else out by wearing more low-key makeup on my other features. This is kind of hard to do with my favorite Nars Blush in Crazed. Now I turn to this matte blush whenever I need just a soft touch of rosy color. Wearing a dark, smokey eye? Sweep on a little of this. Rocking a bright red lip? Dust a little of this on your cheeks to finish your look.
Who says a girl can't justify any and every beauty purchase!
Beauty Find: Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer
You look more polished when your brows are on point, don't you agree? I like to keep my brows under control, but I kinda hate brow gels. They always dry your brows out and look unnatural and flaky. I prefer a brow wax, but most come in compact form, so you have to have a brush handy and paint the wax on just so so you don't end up looking like Groucho Marx. Suddenly taming your brows has turned into a major production.
So imagine my delight when I happened across Revlon's Brow Enhancer in Blackened Brown/Taupe, $9 while in the drugstore over the weekend. This ingenious little brow fixer has brow wax on one end and a brow highlighter on the other. The wax comes in a thin, retractable pencil form, so you can get a precise, yet natural, application. I look forward to using this every morning! I'm also a fan of the brow highlighter too. Most are too pink for brown skin, but this nude-y gold has just enough sheer shimmer to brighten up the eye area and make you look more awake.
Love it!
