Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Crush

Instagram - sophiemakeup

After I wrote my post on Revlon JBK Stain in Honey, I found a £2 revlon voucher and as the kissable balm stains were still at £5.99, I couldn't resist buying another one!

I went for Revlon balm stain in Crush, a lovely cherry colour which I would never normally brave! It doesn't look that dark on the lips, but it has buildable coverage. 

I think this is perfect for autumn and i've loved wearing it already!

Topshop Suffuce

Topshop £6

I added this to my basket last minute when I was placing a cheeky topshop order as I thought it looked like a lovely Rose Gold nailvarnish. I would never normally buy a nailvarnish without seeing it in store or as a swatch first but I love Topshop nailvarnishes and already have quite a collection so I knew I would like the consistency and finish.

I can't quite figure out the exact colour of this nailvarnish, Topshop describes it as 'Rose' but I think it looks a bit more bronzey or maybe just light gold with a hint of rose. It's a pretty colour and I think this would work really well as an accent nail as well.

Jessica Nail Oil

 Jessica Phenomen oil -£11.60 feel unique

I was recommended Jessica Nail oil by my local Nail salon to use after I had shellac done. The Nail technician had tried twice to give me shellac nails, but due to my weak, peeling nails, the shellac just kept on chipping. 

I've tried strengthening/repairing base coats, but they just don't seem to work on my nails. I thought I would give Jessica Phenomen oil a go to see whether it would help as It contains moisturising ingredients such as Vitamin E, sweet almond oil, jojoba and Rice oil to keep the nail supple.

This smells amazing, its like a subtle almond smell, a bit like marzipan. Its not greasy and can also be used on dry elbows, knees and feet. I use a drop on my nails almost every night and massage into my cuticles. I've been using this on and off for about 3 months now and I can definitely notice a difference. My nails no longer peel, they feel much stronger and they're even growing faster! I have been giving my nails a couple of days break in between wearing nail varnish and I think a combination of that and using the nail oil have really helped to transform my nails.

Avon Supershock Mascara

Supershock Mascara - Avon

I saw this free with Marie Claire when I was in the supermarket, I was actually looking for a new mascara and thought I may as well give it a try as getting the magazine was a lot cheaper than buying my usual mascara!

This isn't normally the type of mascara that I would go for, I like my lashes to have a lot of volume and length but Supershock gives your lashes a more of a spidery effect. I had to use quite a few coats to try to make my lashes look fuller! 

It has a really good formula that doesn't budge or flake off during the day and it's amazing at coating every lash and layering up without clumping. The wand is quite big and bulky and with all the little spikes if you accidentally poke it in your eye it really, really hurts lol! Perfect for a more natural look or spidery effect if you prefer that look.

Topshop Necklace

Necklace - Topshop £7.50

I went into Topshop a couple of weeks ago hoping to get a look at the orelia jewelry as I love their collection, especially the little rose gold star necklace. I tried 4 different Topshops but couldn't find it anywhere! In the last Topshop that I went into, I found this necklace, it was the last one and I was so happy as I actually prefer it to the star necklace! I've wanted a bunting-esque necklace for ages now and its so pretty, Its quite small and dainty which I like as I don't really suit chunky necklaces, perfect to team with slouchy jumpers for autumn.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Honey

L-R Honey - Lovesick - Rendezvous - Darling - Cherish - Crush - Romantic

Revlon balm stains are great to pop in your handbag and easy to grab for quick application on the go, they are retractable, have buildable coverage and are long lasting on the lips. They are moisturising and have a light minty taste, which personally i'm not overly keen on but it does leave a nice fresh feeling to your lips!

I picked up revlon balm stain in honey, but I also want to get Lovesick and Crush - which is a shade that I would never normally brave but I think it would be lovely for the autumn.  


Revlon seem to be on a roll this year with their lip products, first with their lip butters and now their lip balm stains. I cant wait to see what they bring out next!
