I'm all for an adventure (a makeup one that is!). Revlon challenged me to create a look inspired by somewhere far, far away - Stockholm - using and reviewing a few of their latest product launches. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (obviously). I've never actually been to Stockholm, but it's on my bucket list.
Below is the the look. You can win all the products used by (1) finding the photo on my instagram (2) liking the photo (3) following me on instagram (4) and if you want you can tag a friend!...You must be Canadian, 18 years or older, and the contest closes October 14th, 2014 at 11:59pm :) GOOD LUCK.
THE LOOK. A burnt red lip with a piercing eye (Strike a pose in STOCKHOLM). The eyes could be quite a bit more piercing but a thin, sharp wing of liner is more flattering on my eye shape. I've clearly put all my focus on the look of the deep, glossy lip.
THE PRODUCTS. Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks in Onyx and Bone ($3.49 each), Revlon Color Stay Skinny Liquid Liner in Blackout ($10.49), Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara in Blackest Black ($10.49), Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain in Stockholm Chic ($13.59), and Revlon Color Stay Gel Envy in Double Down, Ace of Spades and Diamond Top Coat ($8.39 each)
Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks in Onyx and Bone - Bone is a matte cream colour and Onyx is a shimmering black. I've reviewed a few other shades of the ShadowLinks previously (see here) and I'll have you know that I'm not a fan. Personally, I prefer shadows that are creamier in texture and much more pigmened, however, if you're looking for a sheer wash of colour on the lid, these might work for you.
Revlon ColorStay Skinny Liner in Blackout - The Skinny Liner might just be my new favourite liquid liner. None of my brushes (for gel liner) or liner markers can compare to the Skinny Liner's minuscule felt tip. Not only can I get a thin precise line, but it also lasts all day long without smudging or transferring onto my lid.
Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara in Blackest Black - I'm on the fence about this mascara. Contrary to the name "Bold Lacquer", for me, this mascara provides a "natural" looking amount of volume. It is most certainly very black yet non-smudging/flaking but doesn't provide me as much volume as I'd like.
Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain in Stockholm Chic - yum, yum, yum. I can't get over the product formula or the beautiful burn orange colour. This is my first experience with the Revlon Moisture Stains and I think I'm in love. There's something so special about the cushion-y thick, moisturizing feeling of a gloss combined with the pigmentation and 7-8 hour staying power of a stain. Stockholm Chic is a burnt orange-red. It leans slightly brown so despite being quite dark, it's very wearable for everyday.
Oh but wait... there's more! Some nail art too :) ... featuring the Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Nail Polishes in 530 Double Down, 500 Ace of Spades, and the Diamond Top Coat. So far, so good for these polishes. I'm hoping to write a full review so stay tuned for that!

Overall, many hits (the Gel Envy polishes, Moisture Stain, Skinny and Liquid Liner) and a couple misses (the ShadowLinks and Bold Lacquer Mascara) but regardless, the products make for a stellar fall look. If it's any proof that I'm loving this look, I've already worn it out 3 times this week!
What's your go-to look for fall?
