You can't keep changing men, so you settle for changing your lipstick.*


When it comes to make-up we all love a good bargain! We buy palettes for everything - eyeshadows, concealer, contour, etc. The purpose of buying this mini collection is that it enables us to try out various shades and to have them all together (it also works out cheaper than to buy everything separately which is always a plus). Lip products are also presented in palettes and mini collections, however, I find it difficult to find one with full sized products for a reasonable price. 




I was recently flying back home to Ireland and had spotted the Revlon 9 super lustrous lip cube and on my flight back to the UK I just had to have it! The cube offers 9 of Revlon's best selling lipsticks and they are all full sized. The collection offers shades to suit every customer and colours that provide both a day and night option. The lipsticks all apply smoothly and do not dry out your lips! (Something I tend to suffer from) They are long lasting and only need two touch ups at most throughout the day. It has been one of the best purchases, beauty wise, I have made in a while!

The shades I received are:
  • Champagne on Ice- This is a gorgeous sheer brown. With a pearl finish this shade gives the lips a subtle sun kissed appearance. The shimmer through the product enhances your natural lip colour and offers a fuller appearance.
  • Rum Raisin - This is a stunning red brown shade that reminds me of old Hollywood. The crème lipstick provides a matt finish and gives a great sultry look! 

  • Wine with Everything - Not only does this have a brilliant name but it is a beautiful pinky red with a shimmer infused finish. This is described as a pearl lipstick but it is full of colour.
  • Blushing Mauve - Also a pearl, this is a great neutral shade. The pink colour has brown undertones with a shimmer and works great for an everyday shade.  
  • Love that Red - This crème lipstick is a stunning matt red! It finishes beautifully on the lips and is that classic red we all love in a lipstick.
  • Softsilver Rose - The shimmery pink shade is a great addition to a simple make-up look. It brightens the face and the pearl finish gives a refreshed look to the lips. 
  • Blushed - Another pearl finish in the group, this shade is an excellent natural shade. The shimmer throughout adds a little something extra to your lips and ups your natural lip game. 
  • Coffee Bean - This shade shocked me as I assumed it would be a crème and matt finish rather than pearl. I was also worried it would drown me as it is not a shade I ever gravitated towards through the expectation of it not suiting me. I was pleasantly surprised! It is a gorgeous brown with pink undertones that work with the shimmer to provide the stunning shade. 
  • Iced Amethyst - This shade was my main reason for purchasing the lip cube. The pearl finish was expected with a name like that! The shade is a stunning shimmery purple that demands attention when worn in the best possible way. Once applied the lipstick provides a rose inspired colour that is no doubt flattering for every person wearing it. 






 The lip cube retails for £36 on FlyBe and British Airways flights.
