Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in China Flower review & swatches

Revlon's Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel is a new nail polish range that each have their own unique scent when dry. There are 20 shades overall to choose from.




Recently, I posted a review on Revlon's Parfumerie nail polish in the shade Surf Spray. For everything that I loved about it, there were things that I disliked too. The main issue for me was the application. The formula was quite watery and with the thin brush and the small, spherical handle, it made the polish difficult to apply tidily.

Even still, this didn't stop me from purchasing a second. This time, I chose the shade/scent China Flower. I am happy to say that a very large majority of the things that I disliked about Surf Spray are not replicated with China Flower! But what are they? Well, let's take a look.

Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Surf Spray review & swatches

Revlon's Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel is a new nail polish range that each have their own unique scent when dry. There are 20 shades overall to choose from.





In all honesty, I’ve never really fallen for the ‘scented nail polish’ gimmick. I don’t really make a habit of smelling my nails, so therefore I just never really saw the point. I have owned a scented polish before, but admittedly I never actually noticed that it was scented when I first picked it up. That polish claimed to smell of ‘lemon drops,’ yet to me it smelt more like bleach. Along with that, the scent names all reminded me of scented gel pens that I used to adore when I was about 10 years old, meaning that the whole idea to me just feels a little… juvenile. I haven’t owned one since.

So why did I decide to buy this one? Well, if you want me to be truthful, it was that darn bottle. Just one look at it sort of told me that this was more of a ‘grown up’ take on the gimmick, but being a huge fan of both nail polish and perfume, it just drew me in. I’m not normally one to fall sucker for fancy packaging, but alas, it happens; even if only rarely.

The shade that I chose is 'Surf Spray' which is a beautiful, shimmering, bright blue.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in Demure review & swatches

The ColorBurst Lacquer Balm from Revlon is advertised as a high-shine, moisturising lip balm that comes in a range of ten colours. It contains shea, mango and coconut butters to keep lips soft whilst providing a lacquer finish.

The lip balm comes packaged in a twist bottom pen that is reminiscent of other lip crayons such as Clinique’s Chubby Stick. To get more of the balm, you need to twist the bottom of the pen rather than sharpen it.

I chose to purchase the shade ‘Demure’ which is pale pink with a hint of glitter and is probably the tamest of the bunch.
