I'm Addicted To Revlon Lip Butters: Lip Butter Review

When I first heard about these a few months ago, I thought they would be just another phase in the beauty world. After seeing swatches and reviews of this product, I had to try it out for myself. Just like with every other review, these are just my personal opinions and thoughts. 

The four colors I have are:

Tutti Fruti (15) which is an orange.
Cupcake (55) which is a muted bubblegum pink.
Berry Smoothie (50) is a berry red.
Pink Truffle (001) is a brown with a hint of pink/red. Pink Truffle is my favorite because it is like my lips but better.








Pros

• Great pigmentation. I thought they would apply sheer, but they are actually pretty pigmented. (Depending on the intensity you want is how much you apply)
• Affordable (compared to other lip products). Most drugstore lipsticks/lip glosses run between $7-$13. I've seen these lip butters anywhere between $5-$8. If you use coupons, you could get it for even cheaper. 
• Creamy consistency (hence the name) which leaves your lips feeling moisturized. They are not like some lipsticks that leave your lips feeling dry, it almost feels like you have on a chap stick. 
• Easily Accessible (at least in the US). You can find this at just about every drugstore, supermarket, or any place that sells drugstore make up. Or you could even find it on ebay or amazon. 
• Comes In Many Different Shades. There are bold colors like reds and pinks and subtle nudes and sheer tones. 
• Goes Well With Darker Skin Tones. I noticed all four shades I have, go pretty well with my skin tone and blend well. the "cupcake" shade may not blend as well with darker tones but worn sheer, it can work.

Cons

• I wish the packaging was a little nicer (but of course this is just my personal opinion). But I'm sure that plays into why it is pretty affordable. 
• I notice it tends to wear off a little quickly, so you will need to carry it with you and reapply if you intend on wearing it all day. 

Final Thoughts: YOU definitely need one of these. lol. They are reasonably priced, pigmented, and they leave your lips feeling like butter. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially those who are not really into lipstick (like myself). I definitely plan on getting more in other shades. 

Below are swatches. I wanted to show you guys what it looks like on my lips and on a blank white paper, so you can see the true color it is.

January Favorites

I only have a few favorites this past month, but I'd thought I would share what those things are.



This candle was my most recent purchase in January. I saw it on sale at Target and I had to pick it up. I doubt I will even light it, it will most likely stay on my night stand as decoration...or maybe on my dresser (I haven't decided yet lol). If you are really into decor, you should go to your local target and see what things they have on sale. They had a lot of nice things for a real cheap price.




Another product that I got on sale was this EOS shave cream. I am in love love love with this product. I will most likely do an in depth review of this product in the next coming weeks. The main difference between this shaving cream and others is this one is more of a lotion consistency. This is a great product, I've used it a few times and I love it.





Genesis Today Super Fruit Omega 3 Gummy Vitamins. I ran out of all my other gummy vitamins so I picked up these from Walgreens around the middle of January. I've been taking these for a couple weeks and they are the bomb.  I have a mini review of the vitamins I've been taking coming up this week so look out for it. These are mango and peach flavored (and I hate both flavors) but surprisingly, these taste great.





One product I've been dying to try was the L'oreal The Balm lip colors. I will say I was a little disappointed with the color pay off but it is great as the title says, a balm. Maybe it is just my lip tone, but it applies very sheer. The color I got was Caring Coral, I didn't bother swatching because it is so sheer.





Now drum rolls....

My favorite product on January was the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle. I freaking love this thing. I know I was a little late to come onto this but I loves it. I want to buy a few more shades because it is that great. It is the perfect color for my skin tone. It has the right amount of brown and the right amount of pink without washing me out.





What were your favorite products on January?

CVS Haul: 75% off Make Up Products

You should head to your local CVS right now. They have tons of makeup on sale. I wanted to make a quick post about these products because the deal was so great. The products I picked up were Milani because they had the biggest deal but there were many other brands that had products on sale.



All of these products costs $12. The blushes, bronzer, nail polishes were around $1.70. The most expensive thing was the covergirl concealer, which was $4.

I will do a real Haul on these products this week but I wanted to let you guys know about this so you can rush to your CVS and see what they have.

What are some great deals on make up you have seen lately? And if you do happen to go to CVS, let me know what you get.

New Make-Up Products I'm Lovin': Lips, Eye Shadows, and Nails

I havent purchased make up in a while. Mainly because I havent worn it that often and I havent seen anything that really caught my eye...until recently. Over the Holidays, I noticed Walgreens and a lot of different drugstores had make up at a discounted price. This was a perfect time for me to try different things without feeling like I wasted my money on something I wouldnt like. Most of these products were under $4 or $5. As I am looking at these products I realized most of them are Revlon lol...and that was not intentional.

The one thing that was somewhat of a "splurge" because I paid full price was the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter. I picked up the shade Pink Truffle (001) because it was the safest lol. I've had it for a couple weeks and I'm really loving it. It is like a chap stick-lipstick hybrid and it seems to be worth all the hype. This color is a pinky-nude-brown.





These two Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks were on sale at Walgreens for around $3 or less. (You might want to check your Walgreens to see if they have anymore). I picked up Icy Nude (002) and Fuchsia (030). I do notice the "Icy Nude" shade may be a little light for darker skin tones but with the right lip liner and/or lip gloss on top, it will work.





I usually wear nude shades so the fuchsia is very bold for me that I think i'll try and wear it.





Another Lipstick I got on sale was Rimmel Moisture Renew in Mocha Cream (690). Now this shade does come off a little chocolaty and is a little too dark (for my liking). I think if I mix it with other Lipsticks or glosses I have it could have some potential lol.





Here are swatches of all the Lip Products in the order that I wrote them above.





Another gloss I got was Maybelline Shine Sensational Lip Gloss in Cocoa Fever (50). This is a great nude gloss for my lip color although on lighter tones it may show up as more of a cocoa color. This gloss does have shimmer in it but you dont notice it except when using an up close mirror.







I haven't been into eye shadows lately, usually I just seem my powder over my eyes and call it a day. When I saw these two products on sale I decided to try them.

L'Oreal HIP Duo in Saucy (818). I love this duo but I think I love the lighter shade more than I like the darker one. The lighter comes off as a golden orange-y color and that is usually my go to eyeshadow color. I love the way golden tones look on my eyes. I've used L'Oreal HIP duos before and I love them. They are super affordable but have the texture  and color pay off of an expensive eyeshadow.





Here is a swatch of the duo



This Revlon Luxurious Color Perle Eye Shadow in Black Galaxy (045) is pretty amazing. I dont usually wear darker eyeshadows or anything in my crease but when I was playing around and put this in my crease...OMG it looked so great. Perfect for a smoky eye. I do realize you do have to apply a good amount. I love that this has glitter in it as well. Great black eyeshadow.







A mascara that I purchased (using coupons thanks to www.thekrazycouponlady.com) was only $1.47 (I think somewhere between $1.30-1.75). It is Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara. I wasnt sure about this mascara but it is actually pretty good.



The shape of the wand really allows you to easily coat your lashes and get really close in the inner corner. So far, a great mascara



I'm also loving this Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Enamel in Candy. Which is basically like a baby candy pink. In the swatch below, it comes off as a deep pink but I think that is because I had the flash on. It applies really smoothly and it didnt seem to take long drying. Also a really cheap product and the color pay off is pretty good as well.










What are some products you are lovin' so I can check them out?

Ulta Haul

I went to Ulta on Thursday and picked up a few things. I'm kinda mad because when I got back home there was an Ulta coupon in the mail and I didn't get a chance to use it. Oh well, I plan on going back during the holidays to get a few more things.

I saw this glitter and immediately thought of wearing it during the holidays or for New Years Eve. But when I got home and looked on the back, I saw it wasn't safe for the eye area. :-( I guess I'll find some way to use this.

NYX Glitter Mania in Disco Ball

I never really venture off into the body section of Ulta but I saw this for less than $5 and I had to pick it up. I put tried it on and it was pretty decent, the ginger is a little strong but it isnt too bad for the price.

Gorgeous Hands Hand Cream in Ginger Plumberry

I've always wanted to try the L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray, although I rarely use hairspray lol. I'm sure I'll have it for a long time and I hope its worth the money.

I've been trying to expand my perfume collection and before I go out and spend money on a big bottle, I always look in the travel size section of Ulta. I saw there were almost hundreds of this smell so I decided to try it out. I liked the smell in the store and it still smells pretty good.

This is everything I took with my to my trip to Colorado. I only wore make up for a couple days but I like to have all of this with me just in case. This may be a lot for some of you guys or maybe too little. I don't bring any eye shadows because i usually don't wear anything on my eyes.

Here is my case. I found this under my sink with a bunch of other bags I have. I didnt even know I had it. Im surprised all of this fits in this bag.

It is the Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder foundation in Dark 1 (Tan).

The top is Line Stiletto Liquid Liner by Maybelline.
