Elizabeth Arden Duo (Silversmoke and Jewel)

This duo is in the older packaging with the thick black top with clear base. I dislike this packaging because you can see the pans through the bottom. The Silversmoke is buttery and both are very pigmented but Jewel is powdery and chalky. The color Jewel is a deep matte plum. Silversmoke is a pink toned light nude almost white. Jewel produces a lot of fallout. These duos now in the new packaging retail for $28.50. But I don't believe the colors are the same the closest one now are the black tie or tempting taupe duos.

Revlon Lip Butters Review


I recently bought a new Revlon lip butter to add to my collection now I have the colors Creamsicle, Sweet Tart, and Berry Smoothie.  This product is a moisturizing consistency with medium pigmentation. The entire collection has 20 colors.

                                        

  (From Left To Right Creamsicle, Sweet Tart, Berry Smoothie)

 Creamsicle is an orange toned nude with no shimmer. Sweet Tart is a hot pink with magenta tones with no shimmer.Berry Smoothie is a pink/purple berry with slight silver shimmer. They have a short to medium wear time. These retail from 7 to 8 dollars depending on were you purchase them. Creamsicle is not a very flattering color it settles into your lip lines and wears for a very short time. Sweet Tart wears for a short to medium time. Berry smoothie wears the longest out of the three.
