REVLON Haul: Golden Affair Sculpting Blush and Creme de la Chrome Liquid Lipstick

My Revlon Haul! I got the Lipstick and Sugar Sugar Lip Topping for free!

There's nothing I love more than going through an awesome brand's big sale, and after my last visit to Revlon's Makati Cinema Square booth, I just knew I had to go back. This time, I had a better idea of what I wanted-- since I only own a few pale blushes, I wanted a color that was much more daring. I also wanted to pick up another liquid lipstick, as the Midnight Swirl I bought before was quite good.

What's great about the sale is that not only is their stuff 30-50% off, you also get a bunch of freebies when you purchase from them! Here are the pieces I picked up (and their corresponding swatches):

 

Creme dela Chrome in "Gilt Complex"

Sale Price P525 (Usual Price P875)

Capsule Review: I'm a big fan of golds and bronzes, and there's nothing I love more than crazy heavy eye makeup and gold lipstick. I don't get to use the look often (unless I'm clubbing or going to some special event), but since I was really happy with the pigmentation of Midnight Swirl, I decided to pick up the only liquid lipstick they had left-- Gilt Complex.

Boy, am I glad I got this! Putting it on feels like swiping liquid gold onto your lips. It's simply gorgeous! I've never used a lipstick so perfectly golden, and believe me, I've tried a lot (yeah, I was a fan of the Egyptian concubine's makeup in the Mummy movies).  The coverage is also completely even and, ironically, this didn't feel sticky at all (unlike MS). The color is a bit difficult to use, but it was so totally worth the buy!

 

Golden Affair Sculpting Blush in "Berry Daring"

(Sale price approximately P675, usual price over 1k! I forgot to keep the receipt, ugh.)

Capsule Review: The gold dust dots actually go straight down to the pan, and it provides the perfect amount of shine once you apply it. This blush is *highly* pigmented, and it's best to use it sparingly-- the first time I used it, I applied way too much and had to wash it off and start again. :P It's a great blush to have, though, and I highly recommend picking this up if you're tired of the typical pinks and browns.

  

Lipstick in "Garnet Chrome"

I got this for FREE! 

Capsule Review: The lipstick I'm using in the photo above is actually garnet chrome. It feels a bit drying, but swiping some gloss over it easily bypasses this minor problem. And really, how can I complain? I love the color and hey, I got it for free!

You get one lipstick free for every purchase of blush, though you can buy it on it's own for P250. I also got a Revlon Sugar Sugar Lip Topping for free (you get one in a color of your choice for orders over a thousand), and I chose mine in "Sprinkled Pink". It's basically a bit of glitter (hopefully non-toxic, lol) that you sprinkle on top of your lips to provide a lovely bit of sparkle and shine. It's very pretty, but I'd save this for a special occasion... it's too much trouble to go through everyday, haha.

Interested ladies can check out the REVLON sale at Makati Cinema Square, Ground Floor Walkway (they have a large booth in front of Dunkin Donuts). They have new sale items (i.e. products from the last collection) come in every few weeks or so, and they always have huge discounts and offer plenty of freebies! Don't miss it-- this is Revlon at its most affordable. :D
