Trying out Savvy by DB

Sorry for my absence in the blogging world, I've just had exams for the Masters degree I'm currently doing, but now they're finished and I've got a whole week of holidays (gosh, so much time I could travel the world). 

Anyways, at the Priceline sale a little while ago, I picked up a few Savvy products. As far as I know, this brand is exclusive to Priceline and a little bit mysterious - they don't seem to have a website!

I picked up two lipsticks, one of which I'll show you because I absolutely love it! For $3.50, I'm so happy I decided to buy it.

This lipstick is called Sugar Rose, its a gorgeous pink with a hint of shimmer. The formula is nice to apply, a little drying but that improves wear time. I've been wearing it as a MLBB lipstick quite a bit.

Now we have the mineral baked blush in Blossom. When I saw it, I instantly snatched it up, it was too pretty to ignore. This blush is a really nice colour, but I can't go overboard with it because it'll look like I've been punched in the face. The pigmentation is average, but that doesn't bother me too much because of the colour. Also, maybe I'm just crazy but I find this hard to blend?? It's hard to buff out the distinct lines from applying the blush, whereas I don't have any trouble with my other blushes so it's not my brush or my technique. For this reason, I choose not to use it on a daily basis because I don't really have any longer than 5 minutes to do my makeup each morning (if I'm going to uni that is, and lately I've barely gone anywhere else!). 

All in all, I think this is a great budget brand, I'm definitely going to try out another lipstick when my beauty ban is over. And because I'm blush crazy, I'd be interested in trying out another blush but perhaps not from the mineral baked blush range.

Have you tried Savvy products? What are your thoughts?

  1. I've not tried this brand but the blush and lipstick looks really lovely and neutral...much like the colours I'd pick for myself.

  2. I have not noticed this brand at my local Priceline yet so I have never even heard of it before reading this review. The lipstick looks super pretty and its so incredibly cheap, can't complain too much! Will be keeping an eye out for that one as I am crazy for pink lipsticks at the moment :-)

    1. I love it! The regular price is $5 which is still really good. Actually, after posting this review I went to Priceline and bought a few of their blushes...ooops! They're having a 3 for 2 sale so that makes it okay, right?! :P

  3. I've always seen Savvy in Priceline but never tried it out because I'd always thought it was better to stick to something I know is good and pay a little extra but the quality of these products seem really good and real affordable too! Will have to take a look at Savvy when Im next in Priceline
