Revlon Coral Berry Lipstick (Review a Day #4)

Hey everyone! Today is the fourth day of my Review a Day week where I review one beauty product every day for a week. I have another lip product for you today - it's one I have been loving recently! It's the Revlon lipstick in 'Coral Berry'.

It looks way more orange-y in this photo than in real life! 


As the name suggests it is a pinkish coral, and it has often been called a dupe for MAC's Vegas Volt. I think though that Coral Berry is more pink while Vegas Volt is more orangey red. I love both colours though, as I am quite into corals at the moment!

It is quite pigmented and has a pretty good colour payoff which I like, and is pretty long wearing! It also is quite shimmery, which I both like and dislike - it really depends on the look I am going for that day. I really like the fact that it doesn't dry out your lips so you can just pop it on without worrying about using primer or any other lip products beforehand.

I love this lipstick because while it adds a pop of colour, it's not incredibly bright or bold. I don't usually go for really bright lipsticks because I tend to get quite self conscious about things like that but I'm sure as I get older I will get more used to it!


Stay tuned for more reviews - a new one is coming every day this week!

(Late) April Favourites!

I know it's a little bit late, but here are all the things I've been loving in the past month!
Sorry about the dusty desk - this was the only place in my house that had okay lighting!

Sephora Collection Eye Shadow in 'It Bag'-
This was in my Sephora Haul post, but I felt like I had to put it on here - I love it! It's so pretty and it stays on for hours! It's definitely my favourite eye shadow at the moment. I love that it's shimmery but still looks natural, and it's not too over the top and bold.

Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express Mascara-
I'm so late to the party with this one, it seems like everyone has got it and raved about it but I only just recently bought it! This mascara gives my lashes volume, and it really does it's job well. I think it's more of a going-out/night time mascara as I kind of go for a more natural look during the day, especially at school, but I love it anyway!I did find it was quite hard to get off though, but that's good if you want a long-lasting mascara!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Coral Berry'-
I actually got this a while ago, when Farmers (only New Zealanders will know about that haha) was having a 2 for 1 sale on all Revlon lip products! Obviously I couldn't miss out on a sale like that so I picked up this lipstick and my friend got a lip stain. I haven't really started using it until recently and I love it! It's a pinky coral, which is quite shimmery - it actually looks a lot less bright and more coral-y in real life than on the top picture! It's really creamy, which I love and it stays on for at least 3-4 hours.

MIKI Liquid Eyeliner in 'Black'-
This eyeliner is so cheap! I think it cost around $3.00 from Postie Plus (again, a New Zealand store!) and it is actually surprisingly good! The tip is really thin which makes it easy to apply, which is great for me since I am the absolute worst at putting on liquid eyeliner - for some reason I just cannot do it! But I have had a few attempts with this, and most of them have turned out pretty well, so it must be good!

Some other non-beauty related favourites!

Shoes-
These were kind of an impulse buy on my last day in Italy, because the only shoes I had brought with me were $15 fake Vans from Rubi Shoes (don't judge me, they were the only ones that I could fit in my bag!), and they were ruined from all the walking I had done, so I popped in to a little shoe shop down the road from our hotel and I bought these! I had seen so many people in Italy wearing shoes similar to these and I thought they were really cute. They weren't too cheap, around $60 NZD, but that's not too bad for shoes and they are well-made.

Vogue Italia-
Obviously you can't go to Italy without picking up a copy of Italian Vogue, so I bought these at the airport on the way home! It was only 5 euros which I thought was pretty cheap, especially considering it came with an edition of Casa Vogue which is all about (amazing) houses! Unfortunately I can't read them since they are in Italian, but I think that makes them special, and I love looking at the pictures anyway! 

If any of you have any comments or suggestions, I would love to hear them! I love reading all your lovely comments and discovering new blogs so if you have a blog, leave a link and I will check it out!
