Revlon recently started the Change Agents movement to inspire people to make a positive difference and encourage others to do so. The movement features a series of challenges each month where you can showcase how you are making an impact. You have the chance to win a Revlon prize package plus a $1,000 reward. The first challenge is live now and involves uploading a photo of your lips and sharing how you want to beautify your community with acts of kindness.

Below are some of the gorgeous shades of Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipsticks you can use to make your voice heard.

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipstick

Thanks to the Vogue Influencers, I had the opportunity to try out the Ultimate Suede lipstick in Socialite and I love the color. It's a deep nude color that enhances your own lip color and the matte finish with a soft sheen is great for summer. The buttery soft texture makes it so nice to apply and keeps your lips hydrated for hours.

Quick Beauty Tip for Brows

One great way to get full, natural looking brows is to use a black-brown mascara rather than powder or pencil. Simply wipe the mascara with a tissue and then directly apply the wand to your brows. The mascara coats the brows and makes them appear thicker and more defined without the overdone look that pencil and powder can often give. Another plus, is that brows stay in place for hours.

Mess- and Pain-Free Waxing Made Possible with Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-on Kit!

Waxing is one of the best hair removal methods, short of laser hair removal. The results give you smooth and silky legs that last for a much longer time than shaving. For years, I've used homemade wax, but it's often messy and time consuming because you sometimes have to go over the same areas more than once. And of course, there's the pain factor! Because of all the effort involved in waxing, I found myself resorting to shaving because it was quick and easy. The outcome, though, was less than desirable. Legs just don't look as smooth and you have to shave pretty much everyday to maintain it. That's why when I first saw the Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-on Kit, I had to try it. Home waxing kits haven't usually worked that great for me in the past, but this one was different so I was excited to give it a shot and I'm glad I did because the results were amazing! Below is a photo of the kit.

The kit is very convenient to use and, surprisingly, I didn't experience any pain when waxing. It also removed all the hair without having to go over an area more than once, which made the experience so much faster. To use the kit, you simply heat up the wax (I recommend a time of 40-45 min to be sure the wax has heated properly) and then you roll it onto your skin in the direction of hair growth. Then you apply the wax strip and quickly pull it in the direction opposite hair growth. You can use the perfect finish wipes to get rid of any residue and you're left with sleek looking legs that will stay that way for a couple of weeks!

I have to say that this is probably the best hair waxing kit I've used. It really does making waxing easy and I know that if you try it, you will never go back to shaving!
