Review | Revlon Lip Butters in ‘Creme Brulee’ & ‘Sugar Plum’

Oh I cannot tell you how good it is to have some new Revlon Lip Butters in my life!  I wore my favourite shade ‘tutti frutti’ all summer and thought it was about time that I added some autumn appropriate shades to my collection.  I decided on ‘Sugar Plum’ and ‘Creme Brulee’, although I can already tell that some more will soon be joining them, I can’t resist ‘Wild Watermelon’ for much longer! 

‘Sugar Plum’ is a dusky pink shade with deep berry tones that I absolutely love.  It gives a good amount of colour without being too much, it would be ideal for anyone who wants to add a bit of colour without going all out with full on lipstick. 

‘Creme Brulee’  is a nude/peach shade which I have to say is my new all time favourite lip product.  I have been wearing it to work as it is really subtle yet is pretty pigmented and gives a healthy glossy finish.  I sometimes find that nude lipsticks don’t give that much colour payoff (cannot believe I just used that phrase), but considering this is a lip butter the colour is good and lasts a good few hours before I need to reapply.  This shade is perfect if you are a fan of the sixties look, wear it with some thick eyeliner and a shift dress and voila!  The sixties is my favourite decade in terms of…well, everything, so this shade will be a staple for a long time I think. 

Have you tried any of the Revlon Lip Butters?  What do you think of these shades? xx

Review | Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti

Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti

 

 

Hey :)!  I’m still taking advantage of the Boots 3 for 2 offer, so yesterday before work I popped in and picked up a few more bits, one of which was this Lip Butter by Revlon in Tutti Frutti.  For some reason, I have never bought one of these before, even though they are rated by so many bloggers!  I guess I thought that they wouldn’t be very colourful considering they’re predominantly a lip balm, but I have been very pleasantly surprised.  I chose this shade because I think coral colours suit my pale skin the best, and it’s also a nice summery colour. 

 

After using it for the first time, I am really happy with it, it is far more pigmented than I thought it would be.  It’s obviously not like a full on lipstick but more like a tinted gloss, which is actually ideal for day time and work.  It’s a great pop of colour but not too full on like some of my other favourite lip products, so it’s a happy in between shade that I really love.  I think it looks refreshing and healthy, with a lovely glossy finish. 

 

And then of course there is the fact that it is a lip BUTTER, which feels really moisturising and ideal for these protecting my lips on these unnaturally cold spring days!  The smell and feel of it reminds me of cocoa butter a lot, which is no bad thing, and it left my lips feeling soft and moisturised. 

 

The packaging is lovely on this product, I would never buy something just because the packaging looks good but it does help :).  The colour of the lid reflects the colour of the product which is handy, and the textured pattern makes this look really high end and expensive, whereas sometimes cheaper lip products can look a bit plasticky (not a real word oops) and tacky. 

 

I will definitely be adding more shades to my collection now, especially as they are so reasonably priced (around £5.99) and are ideal for day wear.
