Hello everyone! For a while now I've had a pretty strong obsession with lipstick. I just think it's so fun & classic to wear out & about. In just an instant, it can add tons of style to a look. I tend to go for lipsticks that look vintage or have an old fashioned feel. Sometimes this style lipstick can be tricky to find in the drugstore, so I wanted to talk about a brand that has it all when it comes to lipstick & that's Revlon!

For a lipstick addict like myself the most important thing I look for is price & let me tell you, Revlon has one of the most affordable lipstick lines I've seen on the market. The important thing to note is you won't be trading quality for a good price because their lipsticks are incredible, but I'll get more into that later.



Over the years, I've collected a ton of Revlon lipstick, I'm surprised I don't have them all. Fortunately, it did not break the bank too much. I saw them on sale at my local grocery store the other day for around 3 dollars & they generally go for around 4 to 5 dollars, where other lipsticks can go for 8 to 10 dollars. How amazing is that? Oh, & they have dozens of shades to choose from.

Each lipstick is put into a category to better describe the shade: creme, matte, pearl & shine. I've found myself picking the creme & matte more than the other shades, although they're all wonderful. Each lipstick goes on smooth & lasts for a while without fading. The colors are generally very pigmented & moisturizing, for better application.

The packaging is also very sleek, which is probably another reason I end up purchasing them so much. In order to get a little peek at the shade, the top of the lipstick tube is clear. This way, you don't have to break the seal & take a peek. I think the black & gold is a lot classier than other lipsticks, as well.

Here are a few of my favorite shades:


The shade Really Red happens to be my favorite red lipstick ever. It has just enough depth to appear blood red on the lips. This is coming from a girl who struggles so hard to find truly red lipsticks, so trust me on this.


Searching for the perfect lipstick for summer? Look no further because Coralberry has just what you need. It has a lovely pink undertone that is flattering on anyone. Definitely my top choice for a coral lipstick.


Toast of New York takes the cake for my favorite lipstick of all time. I get asked about this lipstick the most, so it must be doing something right. It's a very deep red with a brownish undertone that makes the lips look fabulous. I definitely can't leave the house without this baby.

Hope you enjoyed learning about my unhealthy obsession with lipstick! If you, too, have this obsession let me know & we can talk about it. #LipstickLoversAnonymous

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share a few of my favorite lippies for summertime! I never leave the house without carrying some of these babies around. It's just not natural to travel without a pop of color for the lips.

Summer should make you wanna feel like going bolder than usual. At least that's how I feel. Wearing these gives me confidence & puts me in the summer spirit! Just don't get any lipstick on your teeth because that's not cute!

Much to nobody's surprise, most of these are Revlon since I love me some Revlon lipsticks. Not sure if they're just compatible to my lips or everyone else's, as well. Regardless, they're cheap & come in all types of fun & natural colors.


1. Loreal Lipstick in Volcanic

I love this color for summer because it stays true to its name. It will give you volcano lips & the pigment lasts for a while. This is one of the more electrifying coral lipsticks. The rest are a bit more subtle, yet still amazing.

2. Revlon Creme Lipstick in Coralberry

Another coral lipstick, but with a more pinkish hue. I don't normally gravitate toward pink lipsticks, but this I feel is the right balance between coral & peach.

3. Revlon Creme Lipstick in Kiss Me Coral

When I'm opting for a color that is between the boldness of Volcanic & subtlety of Coralberry, I go for this one. I'm not gonna lie, I mainly added this to the mix because I couldn't choose between Coralberry & Kiss Me Coral on which one's my favorite!

4. Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red

Listen up! If you're struggling to find a drugstore lipstick that gives you that perfect matte red lip, look no further. This has been the only red lipstick that works perfectly for me. It doesn't have any pink undertone to it.

One of the most frustrating things about looking for a perfect red lipstick is they all look too pink. This lipstick is very, very red. Not pink. Not orange. Nothing but glorious redness!

5. NYX Lipstick in Indian Pink

Like I said, I don't often wear pink on my lips, but I love this shade. It has a gold hue & makes the lips look a lot fuller. I remember it first caught my eye because it's name, Indian Pink. Can't pass up anything to do with India!

6. Revlon Creme Lipstick in Sandalwood Beige

This one is a lot different from the rest because it's very natural & will go with almost any look. This is my current favorite MLBB (My Lips But Better) lipstick. Instead of adding a pop of color, it highlights the natural shade of the lips, hence MLBB. It makes them fuller & deepens the color with its slightly brown hue.

Well those are my fave summer lipsticks! I'm sure there are many more out there, so let me know what your faves are for this season!
