Revlon Lip Butters - Candy Apple, Peach Parfait & Tutti Frutti

I have been practically giddy with excitement about publishing this post! Although Revlon Lip Butters are by all means old news in the beauty blogging world, I have been experiencing a random bit of personal hype for them over the past month or so after I picked up 3 new shades! I already had shade Lollipop (review HERE) and found it to be a firm favourite for nights out but as the shade is quite bright it wasn't really something I could wear for work. I decided to pick up some more daytime-friendly shades.



As you can see, I grabbed Candy Apple, Peach Parfait and Tutti Frutti - they were on 3 for the price of 2 at Boots.

Each shade is a favourite of mine in a different way - Tutti Frutti isn't work friendly but is the most adorable daytime lip colour for the Spring. Candy Apple is my new favourite daytime red and I wear it for work quite a lot. It gives a luscious finish that I find difficult to fault. Peach Parfait is another good shade for work as it's much more subtle.

Every shade is quite sheer upon first application, but you can build the colour up as much as you want and I like to achieve quite a full coverage but glossy lip colour with these shades. They are very easy to wear - they don't leave my lips dry in the slightest (and you know I'm a stickler for that!), they last quite well (reapplication every couple of hours) and they don't bleed. Overall a complete winner for me and I am sure I will continue to wear these shades on a daily basis throughout Spring and Summer.


You can pick up the Revlon Lip Butters from £7.99 at Superdrug instore or online HERE, or at Boots instore or online HERE.

How do you feel about the Revlon Lip Butters? Are you a fangirl like me?

Revlon Lip Butter

When I received my Spring Boots Advantage Card vouchers recently, I was over the moon to find a voucher for £2 off any Revlon cosmetics! I knew the new lip butters would be out and I was so happy to be able to save some pennies when I invested in one!
After much deliberation I settle on the shade 'Lollipop', a delicious bright pink colour. I have to admit I was very tempted by quite a few other colours but they will have to wait until I have a bit more money..
 The packaging is very girlie and cute - quilted pink plastic case and a classier silver tube. Not to my tastes - in this price bracket I expected something a little more chic and sturdy, but on to the lip butter itself..
I photographed the swatch from 2 different angles to hopefully give you an idea of the colour of the product (see pic below) and the sort of opaqueness to expect. Its quite a sheer, shiny colour on the lip but the colour builds nicely and it lasts a long time once you've got it right. 
Overall I am super impressed with Revlon's lip butters! I wore mine out last night and reapplied only 3 times in the entire evening. I love how easy the colour slides on to the lips, and stays on, and it really didn't dry out my lips at all. The packaging could be a little nicer for the price bracket but definitely one I would repurchase, and since there's such a wide range of colours I am excited to try another in the future! £7.99.
