Shade #7 Golden Caramel

Shade #8 Molten Copper

Shade #9 Cosmic Rays

There's a golden sticker on the back of all of the shadows and the back is actually flat so you can stand them back to back and they fit a lot better in your makeup set than a rounded off tin would, it's really easy to open the lid to the packaging no fussing around but it's not loose and cheap wherein you'd drop it and it would smash right open. Now let's talk shades!

The first and my favourite shade is Golden Caramel and that actually describes it really well. It has this stunning, rich, light caramel/champagne/pink/peach colour with strong opacity (and all these eyeshadows have even better opacity when you use a damp brush as they are baked eyeshadows), this has a medium amount of fall-out but if you apply and pick up gently then you'll be fine. I really like to use this as an all over facial highlight, brow bone highlight, all over base colour for eyeshadow and its really pretty lightly dusted as an inner corner highlight :)

(sneaky shot of my ring in the corner ;) )

Typical of Revlon to have gorgeous and rather elegant packaging for a drugstore brand (even though I'm paying practically high end prices =____=) with a stunning quilted lipstick case in the colour of your chosen Lip Butter that has a see through top so you can actually view the shade itself in store, and a sticker down the bottom that is also the same shade as your product. Let me reiterate that the Revlon Lip Butters are not a bad product, but I regret buying this particular shade and I think that there are a lot of ladies out there who would have had the same problem. Regardless of this they have a beautifully creamy texture that lends strong colour opacity despite its moisturising balm properties.

So if you can't really tell from the pictures above, Strawberry Shortcake just doesn't really suit me. I find it's one of those pinks that's extremely difficult to wear for a variety of reasons, I believe one of them is that it doesn't suit my olive undertones, it doesn't suit my eye colour (a mixture of light green/blue/brown) and I feel it would better suit brown eyes. It makes your teeth appear yellow even if they're perfectly white, and I think that the natural pigmentation of my lips is a bit too dark for Strawberry Shortcake so I have to apply it very generously if I want it to be opaque, but because it's not flattering I don't at all! It's a bit like a M.A.C Viva Glam Gaga (which I do own, and am struggling to use due to the same reasons) or a M.A.C Saint Germain on me, this barbie pink colour just doesn't work with me at all. I've also had a M.A.C artist use Angel on me and I had the same issue. It's such a shame because I'm so drawn to these colours and then I remember how awful they look on me :( 

I can most definitely recommend the Revlon Lip Butters as an overall product but do be careful with your shades. If you're in Australia I suggest you test them in store to find the correct shade and then purchase them online through eBay as the prices over here for them are ridiculous.
