Summer (Confusion): Revlon’s Peach Pango Lip Gloss & Lover’s Coral Lipstick Swatches

Hello everyone! I live in the snow for most of the year and this is the first time in two years that I am experiencing a full blown summer because I am usually in Argentina during the summer in the U.S. (down there it is winter when it is summer here). When I come back to the U.S. I experience the very end of summer right before classes resume. So I have had a plethora of new experiences which include farmer’s tan, clothing confusion, and makeup confusion… as well as nail polish confusion. I have gotten pretty used to what colors I wear on myself and now that I am tan I am having a difficult time dressing myself and well… painting myself. It is unbelievable how much of a difference skin tone makes when wearing certain colors! I used to ALWAYS wear berry colors on my lips and nails because it went well with my skin tone and now I look like a clown when I wear them!

Anyways, during my 2-year-long winter I had at times desired to wear “summery colors” (especially peach/orange) but of course most did not look good. The other day (like 4 weeks ago) when I was perusing blogs I came across Revlon’s new releases and I decided I wanted to try Pango Peach and Lover’s Coral.

Pango Peach is a creamy pinky/peachy color with golden shimmers that almost look like flakes. It’s not very sticky and has a strange smell that is not gross and fades away!

Lover’s Coral looks very intimidating but actually goes on a very sheer (which I love) wash of pinky/orange.

I’ve included tons of photos to show the glitter/flakes and colors so ya’ll know what I’m talkin bout. (It was an overcast day at the park so the flakes might not shimmer as much)


  





 These lip swatches are not very accurate because it was overcast and my lips are pretty pigmented now because of the sun and the shadows are all wrong! But I included it in case you have a similar skin tone to mine and also because I really appreciate when bloggers take their time to post lip swatches (even though these are shoddy).



 Thanks for reading!

Sheer Snapdragon Swatch & NOTD!

Hello! It's been forever since I've posted because I've just been lazying around before my summer statistics class begins *insert pukey face*.

Anyways! I've got a beautiful buttery lipstick swatch and review that I promised in my previous awkward post here and a nail of the day today. The lipstick is "Sheer Snapdragon" from Flower which is sold only at Walmart if I'm not mistaken. The lipstick smells divine and I can't describe it but I love it! However, the smell might not be to everyone's liking so beware that it does smell (wonderful)!
The color is an orangey-red with very small golden glitters that are barely noticeable but add to the color. It also feels very moisturizing and smooth. The only complaint that I have is the packaging. I don't think there's anything wrong with it aesthetically, but the cap thingy came off and the plastic part sort of crackled like cheap plastic does :( It's been increasingly hard to close it again once I've opened it but I can deal with that :)

Hola! Hace mucho tiempo que no pongo nada nuevo porq he estado flojeando y vageando antes de que empieze mi clase de estatisticas este verano, buaj que asco :(

Hoy tengo un rouge para mostrarles que prometi en este post y el esmalte (s) del dia! El rouge se llama "Sheer Snapdragon" de Flower que solamente se vende en Walmart si no me equivoco. Huele riquisimo! No puedo describirlo pero me encanta como huele! Quiza no les guste el olor asi que ojo que tiene olor! (Pero uff es riquisimo!)
El color es un anaranjado-rojizo con brillitos dorados super chiquitos que no se notan casi nada pero definitivamente agregan al color. Se siente muy suave y hidratante. Lo unico que no me gusta es el "embalaje?" (no se si esa es la palabra equivocada). Pero el plastico de la capa se despego y el otro plastico esta como medio partido :( Cada vez que trato de cerrarlo se me hace una joda pero no me molesta mucho :)



The problem...
El problema...

The cracked plastic...
El plastico medio partido...

Swatched lightly and heavily.
