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!

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)

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!
