Review: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms

I have always been weary of using matte lipsticks since I think this will just dry my lips out, but when I found out Revlon came out with Colorburst Matte Balms and most beauty blog sites gave these such raving reviews, I knew I just had to try it out myself. I don't mind trying them out comparing it to the price of a high end matte lipstick so once I fell in love with my first matte balm I knew I needed to get the other shades I wanted. 
When this line came out, they also have the Colorburst Lacquer Balms collection out that were more on the glossy side of the lip finish spectrum, but for this post I will just be focusing on the matte balms as I do not own any of the lacquer ones at all (and don't really plan to).

PM Skincare Routine

A quick update: I have added the SkinCare tab on my blog as I will be reviewing more skin care products in the future that I would like to share with you all. You can go ahead and click on that tab also to check on my Clarisonic Mia2 updates! 
Now onto this post, I was asked by the beautiful sweet Liz from My Pretty Obessions. to share with you my evening skin care routine. As I mentioned before, from a recent post, that I have a... more complicated(?), more detailed evening skin care ritual than my morning routine, so you will see in this post most of the products that I do use on my face before I go to bed! 
I don't have the greatest skin but I recently am seeing how my skin is improving as I give it more TLC than I used to in my 20's and teenage years!

Review: Lorac Pro Palette + a festive FOTD

I am sure most of you have all seen a review or a YouTube video on this palette and just like me, I have been wanting it since everybody raves about it! Now I finally got it as a Christmas present to myself! I told hubby, no need to buy me a gift because I am buying this one and he can just give me his credit card hahaha! And he can get whatever he wants as well for Christmas - in the end we're both not stressing what to get each other!
