A part of me wants to fix it.

Stepping aside from the usual beauty post, I wanted to write a small personal post to relieve some of the stress that's been building up in me.

The one problem stressing me out right now are my friends. The sad thing is not only did I have my growing suspicions confirmed, but to finally see my friend in a whole different light; I am at the point where I can't see the good in her anymore.
Seeing her and another friend, who used to be SO close to each other barely talk anymore because of a certain problem neither want to address, I'm saddened by that fact.
After listening to my friend tell me the whole truth of what has been building up for months and months inside of her, I finally realized that it wasn't me who was trying to self destruct our friendship. I finally saw it as: "She doesn't think I'm worth the time to tell anything to."
And at that, I am THE most disappointed. To cheer people up, I go about sending them random facts of my day, or just to tell them how I'm doing.
To think that she doesn't even have the decency to tell me about any part of her life makes me... disappointed. What does our friendship even mean?

I'm torn, and it's become so hard to even face her.

Revlon Lip Butters!

Where I work, we only get Revlon products. Mind you, not everything, but for the most part we occasionally get new releases. 
The beginning of this month, we received a display of 24, 2 of each colours so here are the 12 colours that we had!

 From Left to Right:
Pink Truffle, Sugar Lollipop, Brown Sugar, Cotton Candy, Berry Smoothie, Cupcake, Gumdrop, Lollipop, Strawberry Shortcake, Sugar Plum, Sweet Tart, Creme Brulee 




The four testers, and colours I tried





In the end, out of the 4 I swatched I liked berry smoothie and pink truffle the best. In the end I picked up pink truffle because I don't have a lip product that's a similar colour. 
But then rexall was having a buy one get one free on lip products, and I realized that it'd be cheaper to get them from there than buying it from work! 
Once I got to my store though, there was really nothing left. I ended up picking up berry smoothie (because I really did like the colour) and raspberry pie.
I don't have pictures of raspberry pie, I'm sure you can find them on other blogs. Truth be told it's a VERY bold colour, not something I could pull off on a regular basis. But I do enjoy sheering it out and topping it off with a balm or something.

Thoughts: 
Personally, I'm not TOO much of a fan. I know the hype was insane, and these are more moisturizing than a regular lipstick, but after a couple of hours it dries out my lips like no other. 
Aside from the somewhat drying formula, I do like the sheen it gives my lips. A glossy finish, but without the gloss! I personally don't like extremely glossy lips, so I was pleased with the fact that it wasn't extremely "shiny" on my lips. 
The product is also extremely soft! You would have to be very careful to not leave it in a warm place, or apply it very hard. It will crush, break, and smush all over the container. 

Overall: I like the product, I would prefer to buy this over regular lipsticks as I can quickly reapply without using gloss. It has a variety of colours, and seeing as I'm not a much of a lip product person, so it's perfect for simplistic me.

Christmas gifts and a small haul

Hello everyone! I'm taking a small break from my intense weekend cramming session (all in preparation for a quiz I have on Monday), to write a small post.

This post is what I received as gifts from friends, and what I bought for myself.

Continue for pictures, and explanations!
