Review: Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie

Here is my second review of my Revlon Lip Butter, in the shade Berry Smoothie.

Buttery balm with beautiful shiny colour to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips

Berry Smoothie- R

They all have adorable food related names.

Berry Smoothie is a dusky pink with, some say, yellow undertones.

This is darker than your average pink, but still a beautiful colour that is still wearable for everyday!

Generally, this are incredibly pigmented, and glide on the lips like a dream! They are very moisturising, and do not dry out the lips. They are easy to wear throughout the day, and are not sticky like some lip products can be.

The Lip Butters don't have a scent as such, but do we really need a nice smelling lipstick? Yes, its a nice benefit, (MAC lipsticks smell lovely) but, the fact of the matter is, you cant smell it when its on your lips!

They aren't very hard wearing, compared to some products. Your looking at about 4-5 hours, depending on what your doing, so you might want to carry it with you for touch ups. (Although be wary, as they will melt in heat)!

You don't get a lot of product for the money, about 2cm, which I suppose isn't too bad, but if your wearing them on a daily basis, you may find them going down pretty quickly!

The packaging is very sleek and the quilted, 'Chanel like' front adds extra sophistication.

The top is see-through, so you can see the product through the lid, which I think is a nice idea, so you can see which lipstick it is!

The packaging is similar to the Revlon Lipsticks, but only more sheer.

They are £7.99 to buy, and are available in Boots and Superdrug.

Boots currently has a 3 for 2 offer on.

Overall, I am so impressed with them. They are the perfect mixture of a lipstick, and lip balm!

What are your thoughts?

Review: Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

Oh hey bandwagon! So yes, I know you have probably read a hundred and one reviews on the Revlon Lip Butters, but I'll give you my two pennies worth!

Now, you will know that these little babies have caused quite a stir in the beauty world, and I've finally, after weeks of asking in my local Boots and Superdrug, got my hands on some!

The first review is going to be of the shade Strawberry Shortcake.

Strawberry Shortcake- L

Strawberry Shortcake is a bright pink with blue undertones, and a hint of lilac in some lights.

When on the lips, it is a beautiful, wearable colour, for all skin types.

London Haul

Hello again! Apologies for my absence, but you've probably guessed from the title that I've been staying (well, staying just outside) London for the past four days!

Surprisingly, this isn't one of my larger hauls, being that I am saving for an upcoming shopping trip with a friend and the fact that some things I had my eye on, didn't meet expectations upfront! (I'm looking at you Miss Selfridge Stud Vest)!

So here are the few things I brought!

This is just a little random thing, but my Mum brought me, my sister and herself a pair of these socks to surprise my Dad with. (Him being a soldier). And I think they are just adorable!

I got myself a free Vogue! In the Mail on Sunday (I think) there was a coupon that let you get Vogue for £1, but I was given a voucher for WHSmith that allowed me to get it for free! It beats paying £4.10 for it, but I'm thinking of buying it every month anyway... What do you think, is it worth paying almost a fiver for a magazine?

The next item I found in the Superdrug sale. This Gosh Nail Varnish was only £2! And it is the most beautiful nail varnish in the whole world! It reminds me of OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air, which is kind of the reason I brought it! Fear not, there will be an upcoming review very shortly!

Although I only purchased a earring set the other week, that was purely because of one pair, whereas with this set, I fell head over heels i love with each and every one of these earrings! They are all lovely, and when you wear them, you wouldn't think they are from Primark!

This doesn't look great on the hanger, but its another bargain from Primark. This cardigan was £5 and its really great for summer, its really light and in a nice summery colour.

Oh Lush, once again I have found myself drawn in by your mouth watering scents and bright quirky products. How can you resist this bright pink egg with the scent of Rockstar, Snow Fairy etc? Mmm, I cant wait for my bath. This ballistic is £2.95.

How could I resist this? I'm not all that sure what I'm going to do with it, but isn't it adorable! It was only 60p from Paperchase! Aww!

This has to be the most exciting thing- I finally got my mitts on the Revlon Lip Butters! At long last! Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on currently, so I got two shades (L- Berry Smoothie and R- Strawberry Shortcake) and got a free Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer.

I know you will have read hundreds of reviews on them, but I might do one soon.

I did get a dress in the Red Herring sale at Debenhams, but its in the wash, so I might have to add a photo at a later date. I also got some lingerie for Debenhams, the bra being £14 and you get the pair of matching pants free!

The last thing is a little souvenir.

Me and my family went to see We Will Rock You at the west end, and it was soo good! But this is a little badge from it! The show was fab and perfect for any Queen lovers among you, but I think any one would enjoy it!

I am still on the hunt for some Topshop shorts. They were featured in my Wishlist #4 their the blue heart ones. I tried them on in the Guildford Topshop, but was unsure about the sizing, so I waited until London. But were they in the Oxford Street Topshop, or the Topshop in Selfridges? No. I wont bore you with the whole debacle, but I am still yet to have them, so expect to see them soon!

Heres the picture of the dress I promised!

Its just a black, peter pan collared dress with pink hearts on.

My sister said it was a bit like the sort of thing Rachel on Glee would wear!

And that's just about it! If you have any recent hauls, leave a link in a comment, as the are my favourite posts to read!
