All things lipstick, gloss, and balm
Reknowned makeup artist Gucci Westman has signed with Revlon as the brand’s Artistic Global Director (read the press release). Westman is the artist behind the wildly popular Lancome Pout-A Porter Series of limited edition lipsticks developed for New York Fashion Week the past few years (read Pixel Pink reveiw).
Hopefully this means some interesting things will be coming out from Revlon in the coming year!

Revlon lists its Sugar Sugar Lip Topping as a limited edition product, but it has been out for quite a long time now. I kept putting off trying it because it honestly seemed a bit silly to me, but I finally broke down and bought one in Sprinkled Pink.
The topping is interesting stuff. It really is just like shimmery colored sugar to put on over your gloss. I kind of liked the effect of it. It adds some texture and looks very unique. I would suggest it for a night out at the club. I think younger people would also particularly have fun with it.
My only real problem with the sugar topping was that it felt odd and I kept rubbing my lips together, which generally removed it pretty quick. It also will not last at all through a drink or food, so be prepared to reapply often. But hey! If you want to goof off and try something unique and fun, this is something that could be of interest.

I purchased a Revlon Mix & Mingle Lip Palette in Chatty Cherry at a local drugstore and love the look that it gives.
One thing to note is that the color tint to this is very light, so to get a decent tint, I tend to focus on the red, and even then it is like a tinted glow–a particularly pretty tinted glow at that! I liked that, but be aware that keeping in line with the light and feminine theme of the collection, the Mix and Mingle glosses aren’t meant to be much more than a sheer tinted gloss. If you want serious color, you will be better off with a lipstick.
The collection also has some standard glosses in beautiful limited edition shades. Revlon makes great standard tube gloss, and a couple of my all time favorite shades are from their limited edition collections.
All of the Revlon Mix and Mingle products were selling out fast at local drugstore when I was shopping for it, so look for it quickly if you are interested!
