L'Oreal Owl's Lust

Overshadowed by it's popular sister, Owl's Night, Owl's Lust is a brick red creme from the same limited edition Colors Take Flight collection, created with Project Runway.  It's a beautiful and perfect red, without being too bright, or too dark.



I really loved wearing this color.  The color was rich and inviting, perfect for the cooler months.  It had a great formula, very easy to apply, and dried to a shiny finish.  I truly believe this color was over-looked by many.  It's too bad, but it's definitely a winner in my book.  Owl's Lust is a very worthy color addition to any nail polish collection.

Revlon Top Speed Mistletoe & Comparison

A few weeks ago, I came across a new Revlon display at my local CVS.  It's their holiday collection called Spice It Up, and there are 8 colors for the Top Speed line.  Two colors peaked my interest and came home with me.  Mistletoe was definitely the stand out in the bunch, and I couldn't wait to put it on.



It's a deep charcoal base with gold shimmers, the combination makes the polish appear deep olive green.  I think this is beautiful color, and one that I have a difficult time resisting.  I know a lot of people complain about Revlon's formula, but I've never had any problems with it.  This one applied just fine for me, with 2 coats, it covered nicely.

After I put Mistletoe on, I thought it reminded me of another color I own.  I grabbed my Zoya Edyta and did comparison, and I also added L'Oreal Owl's Night when I was asked about it:


Next to Edyta, Mistletoe looks less green.  Owl's Night looks brown based and more golden.  A couple of other similar colors that came to mind, which I don't own, are Rescue Beauty Lounge Anne and Nubar Verde.  I'm glad to see this is not a dupe in my collection, and am very happy to be adding it.
