Influenced by the exotic and rich shades of the Orient is how Gucci Westman envisioned Revlon's new Shanghai Fall 2012 Cosmetics Collection that I was sent to review.  Deep and bright luxurious shades pay tribute to the grace and beauty of the East in a line as dramatic and full of romance as the foreign land of its inspiration. 

Lips will demand attention with the three new shades of Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick#28 Cherry Blossom is a dark, bold, cool red that takes no prisoners (middle tube in the photo below), #29 Red Lacquer is a softer and sheer shade of warm red with a bit of juicy orange (on the left in the photo below).  If you're afraid of red lipsticks, this tube is the way to go because it is so easy to wear.   #30 Pink Pearl is a shy nude with pink (on the right in the following photo).

Seduction made easier with #28 Cherry Blossom in this last photo I modeled.

For eyes, there is the  Midnight Express Limited Edition Eye Shadow Palette.  You get six stunning cream shades (olive, festive silver, black, bronze, white, and purple-brown) that coordinate so well with those lipsticks and nail lacquers in this line.  You'll be tempted to do the happy dance once you wear them and look at yourself in the mirror for how beautifully exotic those eyes will be as you interchange those shades for that new mysterious smoky effect.

Wait until I tell you what's ahead for your nails with the four new shades of Revlon's Top Speed Nail Enamel.  You'll be ready for the party with #041 Sterling (metallic silver), #042 24K, (Bronze-Gold), #044 Orient Express (softer red), and #043 Forbidden (deep wine with brown). 

As you flaunt your fingertips to show off those sensational nail lacquer shades, you almost might want to try the limited edition Nail Art Stencils in Cherry Blossom, to catch even more male eyes.  This is a fun design that you apply after the nail enamel dries or to use on bare nails.

I really loved this Shanghai Fall 2012 Collection because those smoldering colors definitely help you feel sexier!  Go look for these Revlon products and do yourself a favor and pick them up while you have the chance, ladies.

Keep Summer Going With Revlon Cosmetics: Review of 2012 Escapism Collection by Gucci Westman

Don't despair about these last remaining weeks of summer.  Although the warm weather will soon be gone, you still can take advantage of some amazing products from Revlon Cosmetics 2012 Escapism Collection by Gucci Westman that will keep that summer glow alive so you can play up your tan like never before!  Let me tell you about some exciting must-have items, inspired by sparkling aqua hues of the sea, bold colors, and sunlight as it casts magic over sandy beaches of St. Tropez to keep you just as sizzling hot.

If you haven't tried Revlon's ColorBurst Lipgloss, then you are missing out.  These are supremely moisturizing, have a wonderful texture without any stickiness, go on sheer with a doe-foot type of applicator so following the contours of your lips is easier to dispense the product. 

I received three ColorBurst Lipglosses in Crystal Water #40 (a sparkling sheer white with traces of lilac that is ideal for layering), Sizzle #46 (a juicy bite of sheer orange and on the left in my photo), and Sunbaked #44 (a gorgeous mauve-brown void of a shimmer livened up with a tad of red for the perfect universal nude shade).

Those hunting for the ultimate blush that delivers a realistic natural glow would love Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blush.  The consistency of this cream feels silky against your fingers and once you blend this into the apples of your cheeks, you are left with only the most radiant sheer glow imaginable that eventually dries to a powder with a satin finish.  Though much lighter on the cheeks, this is a very buildable blush.  All you do is to dab some into the pads of your fingers and tap the area that needs more--and you deepen the shade.

The two shades of Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blush that I worked with were Flushed #200 and Pinched #100Flushed #200 is a lively hot pink in the package that lightens upon application to a fabulous glowing pink.  Whereas, Pinched #100 is a warmer peach-coral shade that worked miracles with the yellow tones of my skin for infusing it with a vigorous burst of health. 

I also was sent Revlon's CustomEyes Shadow and Liner in Beach Bunny.  The five colors in this compact, which has mica and not talc, are a combination of matte and shimmer with soft medium brown overcast with gold light, a pale matte aqua green, a shimmery white, a medium matte gray, and a black liner color for a striking effect once worn.  These shades are nicely pigmented and lasted for hours without creasing.

I really liked these Revlon products from this summer collection and do hope you grab them while they're still available.  Trust me, and you will love what they can do for you!
