My Revlon Expression Experiment And Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Revlon. All opinions are 100% mine.
As much as I love dressing up, shopping and styling, I consider myself a fairly conservative make up enthusiast. I am by no means a makeup junkie as the term goes. A simple concealer, pressed powder, mascara and a sweep of lipstick is all I need - even for the occasion where I consider really putting my best face forward. I believe in quality and not quantity when buying and applying makeup products. I also don't believe burning a hole in the pocket to buy a foundation primer! That is why I participated in Revlon Expression Experiment Here is the scoop on the latest Revlon make up and beauty products I tried. 

1. Nail Polish - I love to have my nails natural, I have never used acrylic nails. I am not too keen to use the harmful UV rays to set the Gel and Shellac manicures and really do not like drowning my fingers in Acetone on a regular basis. So when I heard about Revlon nail polish and long wear nail enamel that promises 11 days of lasting color and gel-like shine (when used with Revlon base and top coat), I had to give it a try! I tried the Indigo Night color with base and top coat and really was impressed with the salon like gel finish. 
As you can see in the pictures below, the color and shine stays for more than a week and no chipping whatsoever! The best part- no harmful UV rays or acetone bath for the nails, It comes out with a simple sweep of nail polish remover!

2. Lipstick - As they say when in doubt wear red! I am more of a neutral or just a sweep of transparent gloss person, but I have been looking for a perfect red lipstick for my skin tone. Finally I found one - and it is called - what else - Certainly Red!! Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick goes on smoothly, has a long lasting color and it made my lips feel softer and smoother. Glamours and daring, this one is a keeper ladies!!
For a pop of weightless color and mirror like shine, you will find that The Revlon Color Burst Lipgloss comes second to none. I love the luxurious feel of this gloss.
I also tried Revlon Color Burst lip butter and let me tell you, it lives up to its name! It is soft and smooth as butter and amazingly light! I tried the Cherry Tart and it is a perfect shade when you want red color on your lips  but still want dark eye makeup! 
Here I am wearing Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Cherry Tart. I love it, what do you think?
3. Eye Shadows - Revlon Color Stay 16 hour eye shadow has a veritable palette of neutral, bold and summer bright colors that can take you from day to night with just a silky sweep. I am specially loving the deep purples for a night out in town.
4. Face and Eye Primer - Probably my most important and essential make up item is a primer. I have large pores and I really hate when foundation sets in the pores after few hours. I tried Revlon Photoready perfecting primer and instantly saw smoother, more even skin. This primer is perfect to wear just by itself or under your makeup. The Eye primer is good for brightness and making the eye lids smooth so the eye shadow lasts longer without creasing.
I am continuing my experiment and will be posting more looks using these fabulous products. In the meantime, why don't you join me in Revlon Expression Experiment? all these products are available in your neighborhood drug store!
