Hey there lovelies! Time for another Time Bound Tuesday! For todays TBT, I was thinking of it being a little history lesson as well as a review for one of my HG red lippies all rolled up into one! Roll out the red carpet for this little siren because it's none other than Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipsticks in
Fire & Ice
So what is it about this Revlon Shade that makes it be featured in today's Time Bound Tuesday? Why, it's interesting history of course!!!!! Revlon released this sexy siren lipstick back in 1952, with ad campaigns featuring the ever-so-gorgeous American model Dorian Leigh. These ads were one of Revlon's most iconic advertisements of all time. Such a gorgeous shade. The classic 1950s shade for the nails and the lips. Perfect for the ladies of that time [and anytime actually ;)] Up until today, Revlon is still keeping this iconic shade as part of their Super Lustrous line and in November 2010, Revlon decided to re-create 1953's "Fire and Ice" magazine ad featuring the beautiful actress Jessica Biel. As part of this campaign, Revlon issued a limited edition Fire
and Ice lipstick and nail color calling this campaign, "lips and tips." Today, Revlon now has a lipstick, a nail polish and even cologne under the Fire and Ice line! Wow. Isn't this one amazing powerhouse lippie??? Never knew that such a simple classic yet empowering red could have such a long history behind it. [See, makeup products can bring along with them a interesting history too!] If you want to know more about this and the Revlon brand, head over to this page over

Now, for the review that comes along side. One Word [okay, maybe four words]:
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Fire & Ice, as the name suggests, has both cool and warm undertones as well. Not just any simple red. It is definitely a loud red [not for the faint hearted] but at the same time reflects such softness and classiness on the wearer.I can see the colour being flattering on most skintones but it seems to flatter the fair skinned ladies a tad bit more. Really pops off your skin. I love it. It makes my teeth look whiter, skin looks fairer and my complexion somewhat glowier. Too good to be true!! The formulation on this is really nice, isn't too drying and for me sits comfortably on my lips the whole day. It is of a cream formula [no shimmer of course] and the pigmentation on this is just superb. It really pops off my face and stays on all day on me even after talking, eating and drinking my numerous cups of green tea everyday. Also, it doesn't seem to show signs of feathering or bleeding on me. AMAZING. As for smell, it doesn't seem to bear any plastic-ky smell or fragrance which is a plus for some. Packaging is of course classic, with the beautiful black and gold. Simple, nice yet classy and sophisticated. Revlon has really got this line down to a T. Definitely recommend this lipstick to anyone who is looking for that classy yet loud red that would stop people on the streets! This for me, has achieved HG status! No if and buts about it. HG STATUS. <3
