Review: Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

revlon colorburst matte balm review
Great colour, matte, but doesn't stay.

I went roaming around Shoppers Drugmart like I often do and stumbled upon these Revlon Matte Balms. I'm a sucker for easy makeup and anything long-lasting... I know, a hard combo: good & cheap! I don't necessarily want to invest in products that I'm not going to use 24/7 so buying expensive makeup like MAC isn't for me. However I like finding long-lasting products since I'm also not the type to re-apply during the day. I did a bunch of swatches with some colours I just loved! Darker colours like browns and deep reds work well for me. Looks nice with my complexion and also makes my medium lips look a lot fuller. I was excited with my swatches but I always do my 

smudge test: after applying, wait a minute or so (give the makeup a chance to set) and attempt to wipe off the makeup. 

Unfortunately they didn't survive, so these balms didn't get my vote :(

Too bad since they were really nice colours and felt über creamy. For now, I'll stick with my trusty Maybelline Super Stay 24 Colour as my go-to!

Gym Routine in a Corporate World

Since I've entered the "corporate world" it's been pretty hard to stay active. Going from retail to a 9-5 really gets you! I got "fat" and now I'm trying to get back... Ok, I'm not fat. But I definitely gained some more of it! I thought my birth control made me fat, and maybe it added to the weight gain, but I can't blame it all on it. When working retail I was always on my feet, moving around, lifting boxes, etc etc. Now, I sit down 80% of the day so if I'm not getting a workout during work, I need to get up and do something. I used to sit around in the lunchroom, watch TV, but I made a pact with myself (lol) to go to the gym each day on lunch! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but I've been consistent since and I plan on continuing! Check out my fitness body composition where I started off before going daily!

Shingling Method on Bangs

Instead of doing my normal wash and go routine, I decided to spice it up by doing a different part in the front and using the shingling method on my bangs. OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LOOK BACK. Usually I'll try to finger coil (see my previous finger coiling method here ) random pieces through-out my whole head, most focusing on the front, but it make the curls shorter than the rest and you definitely notice the difference. With the shingling method, my curls were separated but more natural to my curl pattern. HOW DO YOU SHINGLE? Make sure your hair is soaked with water Saturate hair in leave-in conditioner and apply an oil/butter to seal in moisture Apply a gel for extra hold  Take small pieces of your hair and smooth root to tip with your thumb and index finger & repeat until you've shingled to your desire (either just your bangs, frizzy parts of your hair, or whole head!) For extra shine and hold, use a diffuser to set curls, or sim...
