#tbt: The Bold Lip Issue

2 Cents, Beauty, Fashion

Now you know we love a Throw Back Thursday (tbt) post and today is Thursday, so here you go!

We wrote and shot these photos last summer for our fake magazine cover wearing our fave summer Revlon lipstick! We called it The Bold Lip Issue; an attempt to look like an editorial beauty magazine! It’s so funny to read our post months later! Almost like reading pages of our digital diary. Oh, memories.

More details below!

#tbt: We never switch up our eye makeup. Wood wink by MAC and liquid eyeliner is our go-to for both day and night. But since Spring is in the air — we wanted to do something a little more “daring.”

Since we almost always wear a nude lip — we headed to  Pinterest  for inspiration and created this mood board.

After trying on a few vibrant lipsticks we decided to go with REVLON’S New COLOR BURST Matte Balm. Feven is wearing UNAPOLOGETIC 210  and Helena is wearing SHOWY 220.

Here’s our Twinship 2 cents on this lipstick:

1) Both lipsticks are really easy to apply and just the right amount of color, but before applying the lipstick, be sure to moisturize your lips. We used Carmex Lip Balm.

2) The lipstick was a little matte for us so we used a just a touch of clear lip gloss.

So, what do you think?

P.S.Though it’s a matte lipstick it actually hydrates your lips and doesn’t feel dry at all.

UPADTE:  we just got a retweet from @Revlon — totally made our #Twinship day!
