Mac Viva Glam II, Bourjois Rouge Edition #2 Beige Trench and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to post a quick review on my current favorite combo of nude lipsticks as I probably wear them 99% of the time. 
With spring just around the corner, I believe that this combo is a very nice and soft transition to coming sunny days! 

The ones I use the most are:

1. Mac Viva Glam II (satin finish)

2. Bourjois Rouge Edition #2 Beige Trench (creamy/satin finish)

3. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural

Mac’s Viva Glam II: just gorgeous!

It is actually a muted pink-beige with shimmer in it but in my opinion it tends be on the dry/drying side but used with a moisturizing lip balm it looks great! It has a slightly mauve undertone to it and gives a really natural finish.

Retails at £15

Bourjois Rouge Edition #2: this is the first lipstick that I tried from Bourjois. 
It is creamy, shiny and glides on really easily on to your lips. The formula is not drying and rather pigmentedhowever the staying power could be better.

In terms of comfort Bourjois wins the battle here.

Also, Beige Trench is a nude with, I believe, pinkish tones to it. As far as I am concerned I do get rosiness from it because I have pigmented lips naturally but I am not sure the rosiness would show up on paler lips. It is lighter that Mac’s Viva Glam II.

Retails at £7.99

From R to L : Bourjois, Mac, Revlon. Picture taken under a tree shade.

Revlon Super Lustrous:  a perfect nude shade that gives a tiny bit of a pinkish tone to your lips. When used with the above mentionned lipsticks it is the perfect combo to get a very nice and natural nude/pinkish flush to your lips.

The formula is very light and not sticky at all! + + + !

Retails at £6.99

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm

Hi guys! 

Today I thought I could give you a short review on the incredibly efficient Reve de Miel lip balm from Nuxe. I have been using this lip balm on a daily basis and at least twice a day for a year now. It has become a real essential in my make up bag and make up routine.

Use:

I apply it every morning prior make up (it is a good lip primer) and every night before going to bed.

I would not recommend using it during the day as the jar is not the most hygienic container.

Texture / smell:

It is honestly really thick, and again it may not be the best lip balm to use during the day because of its consistency. I would rather go with a Labello or any “less heavy” lip stick during the day.

It is thick, really buttery even waxy (weird when you first start using it) and has a nice honey smell.

It is a heavy lip moisturizer; if your lips don’t tend to get chapped then it might not be the right product for you.

Results:

Again, I swear by it! It is in my opinion the best lip balm I’ve ever used so far. When I apply it before going to bed and when I wake up the next morning my lips are sooo nice, plumped and fully moisturized.

You can see results after the first use, but really!

Price:

It is maybe on the pricey side for a lip balm but considering the amount you get it is really worth it! A jar lasts easily a year.

Retails at £9.50 in the UK - I buy mine in France ;)

I have heard a lot about the Creme de Rose by Dior, any of you guys who could give a feedback or comparison between Nuxe Reve de Miel / Dior Creme de Rose?

Until next time, have a great week!
