Makeup Monday: My Revlon Lip Butter Collection!

Hey guys, this weeks Makeup Monday post is going to be my Revlon Lip Butter Collection and a mini review. I brought my first ever Revlon Lip Butter last year and only recently has my collection grown and I'm determined to finish it. 

The Revlon Lip Butter's are my all time favourite lipsticks and I reach for them pretty much everyday. I find that they have a lot more colour pay off then you may expect. I find that they are really moisturizing and buttery on my lips. Although they are not tinted balms some of them are sheer and just give a slight sheen of colour or gloss especially the lighter shades. They aren't the most long lasting lipsticks and you will need to reapply every couple of hours. I find that with the brighter shades they can smudge easily. Apart from that they are still my favourite and are defiantly worth a try if you haven't already. 

Revlon Lip Butters can be purchased from Boots (link) for £7.99

Here are the ones I currently own..

Reds

So far I only own 1 red which is Wild Watermelon. I would describe this colour as more of a summery red and isn't as opague and bold as some reds, however on the lips it is still very bright. 

(Here it is swatched on my hand) 

Pinks

The pinks that I own are:

(from left to right)

Sorbet

Sweet Tart

Cotton Candy

Strawberry Shortcake

(swatches on my hand)

Nudes and Berry Shades

Berry Smoothie

Macaroon

Peach Parfait

Creme Brulee

(And here they are swatched)

Oranges

I own two orange shades that look similar in the picture, but on the lips they look completely different.

And they are 

(from left to right)

Tutti Frutti 

Juicy Papaya

(Swatches L- Tutti Fruitt R- Juicy Papaya)

As you can see when swatched Tutti Fruitti is alot more of a true, bold orange whereas Juicy Papaya is more of a nude orange as is more sheer. 

That's it!

Makeup Monday: Favourite Nude Lipsticks

Hey guys, recently I have been opting for a nude lip which is quite unusal for me as I'm more into bright pinks and oranges especially in the summer. Today I have selected my 5 favourites, some of you may think that that they are all the same but actually they are all very different.

My favourite's are: (from left to right)

Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 07

MUA Lipstick Shade 11

Avon Colourtrend Bubblegum Pout

MaX Factor Lilac Wine

 Revlon Lip Butter Creme Brulee

This is probably my favourite and most used everyday nude. It is probably the most nude lipstick I own but what I love is that it doesn't make me look washed out or totally block out my natural lip colour, it just gives a milky wash of gloss. 

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 07

On my lips this looks more of an orangey nude and looks good with darker eye makeup on me. It's more of a wintery colour than a summer colour but still really good for everyday. 

MUA Lipstick Shade 11

This one is the classic- your lips but better lipstick. It's one of those lipsticks that lives in your handbag and goes with anything. I always wear this when I can't decide on what colour to go for as I'm never disappointed with this one. It seems to look different everytime I wear it and with different makeup looks. 

Avon Colourtrend Bubblegum Pout

This is another- your lips but better lipstick but is very different to the MUA. It's alot lighter and you don't get as much colour pay off. This lipstick is full of glitter and has a gorgeous gold shimmer. 

MaX Factor Lilac Wine

This is more of a berry colour but still is a nude. It has gold shimmer running through and looks amazing in the summer and winter as its not to dark on the lips.

 Whats your favourite nude lipstick?

Beauty Tuesday: More Revlon Lip Butters and Another Revlon Matte Balm

If you read yesterdays Makeup Monday post then you would have seen that I purchased a couple more of the Revlon Lip Butters to add to my collection. I also brought one of the Revlon Matte Balms and  I loved it so much, I went back into town yesterday and I purchased another one. I also brought more Revlon Lip Butters as I'm trying to collect them all.

The Revlon Matte Balm that I brought was Elusive and its a really pretty natural dark pink. I will be doing a full review on the Revlon Matte Balm's soon. 

I brought 5 more Revlon Lip Butters and the ones that I brought were Sweet Tart which is a lovely bright, light barbie pink. 

Also I brought Tutti Frutti which I can't wait to wear in the summer as its a really gorgeous orange. 

I picked up Macaroon which I think I will be wearing a lot of in the Autumn as its a sort of brown, red, purple with a gold shimmer.

Another one I picked up was Berry Smoothie which is very similar to Macaroon but also very different as its darker and more purple- red. It is another colour beautiful for Autumn and it has this almost red shimmer running through.  

The last one that I picked up was Juicy Papaya which is another orange, but it is more of a coral-nude and again I can't wait to wear in the Summer. 

Thanks for reading.
