NEW! Revlon Powder Blushes + Highlighter

On Top: Revlon Highlighter in 020 Rose Glow
Bottom Left: Revlon Powder Blush in 001 in OH BABY! Pink
Bottom Right: Revlon Powder Blush in 002 Haute Pink

REVLON POWDER BLUSHES:

Left Swatch: OH BABY! Pink
Right Swatch: Haute Pink

PACKAGING- Comes in a black shiny plastic case very similar to the Revlon's single eyeshadow case. Blush comes with a small brush (not very useful)

FORMULATION- The blushes are very sheer compared to what they look like in the packaging. Beautiful colors however I had to layer the color a couple of times to get a decent color payoff. The texture of these blushes are very nice and soft and easy to blend. They have a very nice natural finish to them on the skin nothing too shiny and nothing to matte. They are a step up from the old formula. The older formula was very chalky and not as easy to blend. Disappointed that the color payoff hasn't changed much. But overall as long as you layer them they can be very nice blushes. 

WHERE TO PURCHASE/PRICING- These are part of the Revlon's spring 2014 collection so they are not available everywhere just yet. However I have searched the area for you guys and Bed, Bath and Beyond has them in 6-7 shades. This line also has bronzers. Each blush retails for $7.99.

REVLON HIGHLIGHTER:



PACKAGING- Comes in the traditional Revlon black case with a clear top so you can see the colors.

FORMULATION- The colors are very similar to a Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick. It has a mixture of beige, pink, browns and champagnes with a variety of textures from matte, satin and shimmer. I was very surprised with the color payoff of these. Pretty much every color except the pink had great payoff. The pink one wasn't very pigmented and had a chalkier texture compared to the other colors. They are very soft and easy to blend. This product is designed to use as a highlighter for highlighting the cheekbones. You can also highlight the bridge of your nose, cupids bow (top part of your mouth that is shaped like a v) and so forth. However you can also use it as a blush and it will give you a nice glow to your complexion. The colors are pigmented enough to also use as eyeshadows. Overall I was very impressed with this. There aren't a lot of good drugstore highlighters out there that work well or are affordable. Comes in 1 more color more bronzy. 

WHERE TO PURCHASE/PRICING- Bed, Bath and Beyond is the only store right now that carries these. It will be released everywhere else Spring 2014. These retail for $7.99 each.
