This weekend the highly anticipated film The Amazing
Spiderman 2 came out and let me assure you it was an excellent movie! I went
to see it opening night and it was absolutely incredible, I've always been a
fan of superheroes and comics ever since I was little so when Hollywood decided to reboot all of the
classics I was completely ecstatic!!! Although the original Spiderman trilogy
starring Toby Maguire will always have a special place in my heart; this
new remake is just as good, and plus I cannot get enough of that hunk Andrew
Garfield and Emma Stone which is one of my favourite actresses!!! Anyways
enough about the movie... Lets get on to the makeup.
| Revlon Lipgloss - Sparks Fly Revlon Nail Polish - Super-Powered |
Revlon released their
Amazing Spider-Man 2 Collection quite some time ago, but it wasn't till
recently that this collection started popping up in Canada , and sadly I have only been
seeing the small displays that do not include the blue lipgloss which was disappointing
for me. Anyways the collection is composed of 3 lip-glosses; a red, pink and blue and 6
nail polishes, which are all in standard black Revlon packaging adorned with gold spider webs on the caps. I picked up two things from the collection the lipgloss in the
shade Sparks Fly and the nail polish in the shade Super-Powered.
| Sparks Fly Lipgloss - $7.99-8.99 |
Lets start with the lipgloss...
I want to start off by saying I'm not really a lipgloss person so this is
actually the first lipgloss that I've really tried from Revlon and truthfully I
don't find it that spectacular. It's a pretty colour and I know for a fact that it'll look lovely over a blue toned red but in all honesty the colour does not stand out to me. It does have a really beautiful, shimmery, chromatic look and since it is blue toned it helps make your teeth look whiter which is a plus; and this gloss is NOT STICKY (yay!!). But it still is not something that I would rush out to buy. And one thing that I don't really like about this gloss is the scent, it's sort of chemically and I do not like it. Other than that its a pretty nice gloss but again I would rush out to get it!

| Super-Powered Nail Polish - $5.99-6.99 |
Now lets move onto the
nail polish. Although the lip-glosses in this collection were a little
lacklustre that was NOT the case for the polish I picked up. Super-Powered is such a
gorgeous chromatic blue colour that looks absolutely gorgeous on the nails.
It's super opaque and applies pretty smoothly; my only complaint with this
polish is that it does stain the nails so I recommend that you do use a base
coat to prevent that. This shade is a beautiful cobalt blue with a purple/magenta duochrome. I absolutely adore this polish and I might pick up a few more shades from this collection because the colours are beautiful and the formulation is great. I can totally say that I have never been this "wowed" by a Revlon collection before. Out of all the swatches I've seen online this has to be my favourite out of the collection for sure and I am so glad I picked it up!
