Grab your glow sticks: Prerogative Rave edp, by Britney Spears.

"Daring. Energetic. Irresistible. Step into a world where everything provocative is pushed to the next level. Show your moves. Dance the night away. Live like there’s no tomorrow." 

Prerogative Rave is described as being "the new uninhibited fragrance for all", so I'm expecting something lively and unisex. The original Prerogative perfume surprised me with how unique it is among the Britney Spears fragrances, so will it's new flanker be able to follow in it's footsteps?

It's just a sweet [Rainbow] Fantasy: looking closer at the new Britney Spears edt...

Rainbow Fantasy is a really magical scent that makes memories come to life, and inspires everyone to dream big" - Britney Spears

I was never into the summer editions of Fantasy flankers until last year's edition,  Sunset Fantasy; I've actually now finished my bottle of it and am considering buying the larger size of it. In fact it was looking around online for the best deals on Sunset Fantasy which brought Rainbow Fantasy to my attention...

... that bottle is too cute, so that was all it took for me to order a bottle without having tested the actual fragrance beforehand. I've enjoyed every main [non summer le] Fantasy flanker except for one (Circus Fantasy), so I'm pretty hopeful for Rainbow Fantasy - it's not hard to make a Fantasy fragrance with the basic fruits-sweet notes-soft floral blueprint, after all. 

This is the first Fantasy under Britney's new fragrance contract with Revlon, so lets see if they can keep up with the established Fantasy line of fragrances, or if they've already dropped the ball...

Hey Britney; is it my Prerogative?

“Prerogative is all about empowerment and confidence - we all deserve to feel free and fierce!" - Britney Spears.

After 14 years and 25 fragrances, the Britney Spears fragrance company has left Elizabeth Arden and has secured a new fragrance contract with Revlon. They have celebrated this sign of a fresh start by releasing Britney's first unisex fragrance that was inspired by pushing boundaries... 

I'm excited to try this; I went to her UK Piece Of Me tour (yes, yes; I'm well aware it's pre-recorded vocals) and they handed out scented wristbands, so I already knew I kinda liked it. But now I'm keen to find out if the fragrance changes on my skin.

Getting lippie: Super Lustrous lipstick in Really Red by Revlon...

Today I thought I'd take a break from both my ever-growing nail polish collection and my fascination with perfumes, to continue my foray into the world of bold lipsticks.

This post will peek into the latest purchase in my ongoing search for the perfect red - which today also continues my exploration in Revlon cosmetics...

Bronzilla (012) bronzer by Revlon...

As I previously mentioned, Revlon makes my favourite foundations (Photoready & Nearly Naked). In addition to that I also love their Photoready primer, their Nearly Naked pressed powder, their Gel Envy Diamond topcoat, and their crayon lipstick/balm/stains. 

I felt that it was time for me to branch out in their brand a bit and see how some of their other products work for me, which is what brings me to this post...

Yep: I'm being adventurous and trying out a bronzer. As well as going for a all-over glow, I've been trying out my limited contouring skills.

Will Revlon's bronzer impress me more than their eyeshadows and mascara did?

FOTD: Supreme remix, with I ❤️ Makeup...

I'll be posting a review for my latest I ❤️ Makeup palette- Makeup Geek - in a few days, so thought that I'd give a little preview of what it can do...

I've posted before about this No7 70's inspired cosmetics poster image from their Decades of Beauty cosmetics range, and how I recreated the eye look using Urban Decay eyeshadows. 

Well since I bought the Makeup Geek palette because the colours in it reminded me of ones that I'd find in Urban Decay palettes, I thought I'd have a go at reattempting the eyeshadow look from the No7 campaign and it's look-a-like from my old blog post.

Will I be at risk of becoming addicted? ColorStay eyeshadow quad in Addictive [500] by Revlon...

Revlon makes my favourite foundations (Photoready & Nearly Naked). In addition I also love their Photoready primer, their Nearly Naked pressed powder, their Gel Envy Diamond topcoat, and their crayon lipstick/balm/stains. So I felt that it was time for me to branch out in their brand a bit and see how some of their other products work for me...

... and so here we are. A nice 'everyday, any situation' type of product and shade selection.

The swatches failed to blow me away pigmentation-wise, but I love the feel of the shadows & as my face is paper-white, I figured that maybe the shades will show up better on my eyes then they did on my arm?

Perfect potion? Lash Potion Mascara by Revlon...

Revlon makes my favourite foundations (Photoready & Nearly Naked). In addition I also love their Photoready primer, their Nearly Naked pressed powder, their Gel Envy Diamond topcoat, and their crayon lipstick/balm/stains. So I felt that it was time for me to branch out in their brand a bit and see how some of their other products work for me...

First up is a product that I wear every time I apply makeup... A mascara. I got this one just because I liked the name and packaging design.

Were my first Impressions on the money, so to speak?

FOTD: Pink Lady

I'm not usually one for doing FOTDs because I...
A) Am not a expert, so don't feel confident telling others what to do
B) Tend to go for simple, uncomplicated looks
B) Like to give my looks an unpolished/incomplete, grungy edge, so it tends to look messy and severe to most people.

However I recently tried a pink/purple semi-permanent hair dye [review coming soon], and when I first did it I felt inspired to put in more then my usual effort with my makeup. Since I'd gone full-on with my hair I did full-on makeup to go with it, with shades of pink on my eyes AND lips.

Then - since I'd already gone OTT - I also added a bold bit of contouring and highlighting, which is not something that I usually do as my skin is so fair that the contouring never looks natural.

NOTD: Girly [260] by Revlon

Dare to bare - almost... Nearly Naked foundation by Revlon.

I'm a tad too fair and fairly cool [leaning towards neutral] toned for many popular brands of foundation, but Revlon foundations in Ivory [sometimes even the yellowly Vanilla] are shades that I find wearable - the base of the foundation leans toward pink more then yellow, but not too much so.

I found that Nearly Naked does look a little dark when swatched, but the formula is made to be highly blendable, so it wears lighter after application.

Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Cherries in the Snow

As I've mentioned before I've never really been into strong lip colours in the past - the shape of my lips is small, and my top lip is practically invisible - but after spending most of my makeup wearing years focusing on my eyes, I became bored with my routine. I've been looking at brighter lip colours to shake up my look for the past year, and this is one of my first success stories...

Beauty Buys of the Year: Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain...

I can't believe that it took me so long to try these stains; Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain is now my favourite lip colour. They remind me of Tarte's Lip Surgences, but these are better as they wear for longer, don't melt in the tube and the caps don't crack, making a mess in my bags - not to mention that Tarte isn't officially sold in the UK.

I'm probably going to end up buying all of the colours Revlon makes - I think there are 12 shades all together, but UK stores don't sell them all right now, I only saw five shades in Boots and Superdrug.
