Drugstore Bits And Bobs...

I was in Boots yesterday, and decided to pick up a few bits - Revlon has a special 3 for 2 offer on at the moment, and I decided to take advantage as I don't own much from the range - everyone raves about the nail-polish, so I picked up a couple, and then threw in one of those matte lippies for good measure...

I chose nail varnishes in shade #200 "Steel Her Heart", a lovely shimmery silver grey, and shade #025 "Plum Night" - this looks amazing in the bottle - a lovely dark cream purple shade - very autumn/winter. I haven't tried either yet, but I'm looking forward to the purple in particular...

I also picked up one of the lipsticks from the Matte range, in the shade "Pink Pout" - I know we have all seen this one before, but here's a photo anyway... Again- I haven't tried this yet, and to be honest, I'm really no sure its "me", but heck, it was free...

I also perused the Natural Collection stand, as the blogosphere is buzzing with rumours that their lipsticks/glosses are really rather good... I picked up a Moisture Shine lippie in "Rose Bud" (Orson Welles Flashback anyone?), and a lipgloss in the shade "Parfait"

As suggested above, the lipstick is indeed sheer, but a pretty pink. Its a pretty non-descript shade, but nice enough. It smells a bit chemically, like, well, like a cheap lipstick to be honest, but if that doesn't bother you, then the range is definitely worth a look for very reasonably priced (£1.95 a piece) everyday colours.

The lipgloss has a somewhat more pleasant smell than the lipstick, slightly vanilla, slightly orange, slightly chemical, but not unpleasant in my opinion. Its creamy and fairly well pigmented as well - the formula might be a bit drying on people with very dry lips, as this is not one of those really succulent, moist looking glosses.

Swatches on the back of the hand;

Above - Rose Bud on the lips - clearly very sheer, but completely non-offensive

Above -Parfait on the lips - as this shows, this is a fairly well pigmented gloss, and will be popular among fans of the Nude Lip look - I'm not altogether sure about it on me though - slight corpse like effect has been noted.

Any other "must haves" from either of the ranges?
