Revlon Dazzle

Hi Pandas!
 
Sorry for my extended absence, the stomach flu kept me down, but....
 
I found this Revlon Brilliant Strength nail color in Dazzle and was very impressed with how it held up on my nails!
 
 
I love the peachy/pink color, the glitter, and the brush!! To see more swatches, check out my full review on Impressionist Nails!
 
Have you tried this formula? Love it or leave it?

Polish, Pages, and Pretties: Butter London Disco Biscuit

Hello Pandas! I am back with another Polish, Pages, and Pretties! This polish I picked up during the Ulta amazing BL sale of 2013 haha...where they only let me haul 2...but that is a rant for another time. Onwards!

 
I am in love with this polish! The color in the bottle initially attracted me, but then I feared it would work like a sheer topcoat and I would be highly disappointed. But I was happily surprised! Disco Biscuit is a jelly hot pink base with pink and iridescent purple glitter. If you are curious about the name...a Disco Biscuit is a certain drug tablet...use your imagination.

 
And the book today is Jane Austen's Emma. I love Austen, and some people may think that a cliche, but she really is an amazing writer and Emma is a book I could read over and over again. I have multiple copies of it, and this is one of my favorites.
 
 
I really love this polish. This is three coats and it dries to a texture that is reminiscent of the pixie dust or liquid sand formulas! But with a top coat, it is like your normal polish. Wear either way! I like how you can see some visible nail line as well. Wore 7 days without chipping.
 
 
What do you think of Disco Biscuit? Cool, or not your style?

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Luscious Honey

Almost lipstick? What is that? That is what I asked myself when I received this. I was hoping it would be all the good things about a lipstick without any of the bad. Was it? Let's see!
 
 
 
Clinique Almost lipsticks are thin tubes of sheer, jelly-like color that twist up. They retail for $15. This shade is called Luscious Honey, which really does not fit the color. This is sheer red.
 
 
I like the thin packaging, but it feels a little lightweight and boring in my hand. I know Clinique is known for their minimalist packaging, but this just doesn't do it for me.
 
 
I really like this color, it is super wearable and easy to apply. It feels nice on the lips. This is for someone who wants a no fuss, good quality, decently priced, pop of color. Nothing special, no frills.
 

 
On me, it is a my lips but better shade. It adds just enough so I look awake and polished, but not like I am wearing makeup. My only big issue with this is the distinctly lipsticky smell and taste. Not my style.
 

Nice product marketed for everyday use. This is good for a natural look, but it should smell as juicy as it looks.
 
Price: 10/10
Performance: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Packaging: 6/10
Overall Quality: 9/10
 
Total: 43/50 = B = Satisfied Panda
