Philosophy at Big Lots

Since I heard news about Philosophy being at Big Lots, I have been trying to find them for the past week. Little did I know, the two closet Big Lots to me closed down! I did not find out until I arrived & it said a "for sale" sign on the building :( Anyway, I went to a few away from where I lived and the first few I went to last week did not have any. One of the ones I went to last week only had three items left. I went home and looked them up and I was pretty pissed off people were already selling a bunch of them on eBay for $13+, but oh well, it happens to every deal. I decided to go check out another one today since my boyfriend was giving me a ride (because I do not have a car) and I spotted a TON of them! I was surprised. All their items are $3 each, so if you have a big lots near you, call first & then check it out! Here are the pictures I was able to get of it.

Anyway, have any of you been able to get anything from Big Lots from the brand? Let me know! :)

Lip Butter!

Hello! I know I haven't posted in a while, but it's the last few weeks before school ends. There has been so much work and review for exams, it sucks! I can't wait for summer to come! Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick post for the color I'm using for my lips. It is Revlon's Lip Butter is Raspberry Pie. When I first purchased it, I was expecting it to be more of a sheer color, but boy was I wrong! It is so pigmented that it took a little getting used to since I do not normally wear darker, more pigmented colors. After wearing it from time to time for over a month, I feel a lot more comfortable wearing it out and everything. It is now one of my favorite colors and it glides on so smoothly. Anyway, have any of you tried Revlon's Lip Butters? Which are your favorites? :D

Sleek; Flame Blush Palette

Swatches & Review

This is the Flame palette from Sleek's Blush by 3 palette line. Given the name, this palette contains blushes that are red. Furnace is a bronzed red. I feel that this was one of the less pigmented color in the set, but it is actually not that bad because if it was really pigmented, you can easily put too much on your cheeks when so if you want it to look more intense, you can always layer it. Furnace also has a bit of a shimmer to it, but it's not that noticeable once it is blended out. Bon Fire is a deep, bold matte red. It is like a WOW kind of bright red. I actually really like this color. This is the most pigmented blush out of the three and if you don't apply this color with a light hand, it can easily make you look like you have clown cheeks. Molten is a lighter red with subtle shimmer to it. When it is blended out, it looks like a light red, almost pink. It looks bright in the pan, but it does not look to intense on the cheeks.

Furnace, Bon Fire, Molten

Overall, I like the Flame palette, but not as much as I liked the Pumpkin blush by 3. I am still annoyed at the fact that Sleek is still not responding to my e-mail or twitter messages to them. I don't mean to sound annoying, but it has been over a month and I still have not gotten a response from them about my missing palette! Anyway, the color I liked the most from this palette is Bon Fire. I have never tried any red blushes so I took a leap and ordered this to just try it out. When I first tried Bon Fire, I applied too much and I ended up looking like a doll! It was quite hilarious. I also like that Bon Fire can be used as a nice red eyeshadow. I mean, you can use all the colors as an eyeshadow as well, but Bon Fire looks the best on the eyes and it has not stained so that's is always a plus! What do you think about this palette? Like it? Love it? Let me know! :)

China Glaze; Harvest Moon

Swatches & Review Today, I will be reviewing China Glaze's Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon is from their Hunger Games collection that has released last March. After seeing the collection, I knew I had to have Harvest Moon because it was a color I did not have in my collection, along with Riveting. Harvest Moon is a coppery color with a foil finish. It is very bronze and although it is a foil, I did not see any streaks after applying. The formula on this was perfect! Like many China Glaze polishes, they always take me by surprise. For Harvest Moon, I actually thought that I would have needed three coats because it seemed so thin, but after trying it, I realized that I only needed two coats. It applied on very easily & the drying time was not bad.

Overall, I definitely recommend this polish if you are interested in coppery/bronze colors. It feels very smooth after applying. I actually wore this nail polish for a whole week and it did not chip! The wear time of it was amazing after a week, and there was just minimal tip-wear. I say Harvest Moon is amazing! What do you think of this color? Have you purchased anything from this collection? :)
