Revlon Lip Butter Review

I'm not sure why I was so late on the band wagon with these ones but I'm glad I tried them in the end, these beauties by Revlon come in a whopping 21 shades and are available from Boots and Superdrug for £7.99.
The idea behind 'lip butters' is that they are a cross between a lip balm and a lipstick, so they are nourishing on the lips and provide a decent amount of pigment at the same time. I picked up 5 shades of these on a recent trip to Boots and thought I'd do a quick review.

Creme Brulee

Cotton Candy

Peach Parfait

Berry Smoothie

Lollipop

All 5 shades I bought are extremely pigmented for lip butters, in my opinion they could easily pass for a lipstick. The packaging of the line is very sleek and luxurious-looking with a conventional lipstick bullet covered by the chequered lid which matches the shade of the lip butter inside.

Cotton Candy

Berry Smoothie

I love all the shades of these, they are all very smooth and moisturising and stay a surprising amount of time on the lips. My personal favourite is 'Peach parfait', it is a lovely muted berry shade with some gold shimmer running through it. The only complaint you could make about these is that some of the shades are quite similar, for instance 'Peach parfait' and 'Berry smoothie' are almost identical shades however 'Berry smoothie' has much less shimmer. Even so, I would still recommend these and I am looking forward to buying more of the brighter shades for summer.

How did you get on with these? Let me know in the comments.

Also if you have any requests for future reviews do comment and I'll be happy to have a look.

Tanya Burr Lip glosses Review

I love a good lip gloss for everyday wear and so I couldn't contain my excitement when I heard that, one of my favourite YouTubers and make-up artists, Tanya Burr was coming out with her own line of glosses (I think I may have actually squealed!). Tanya has paired up with eye candy to produce her line of lip glosses and nail varnishes, which are available from Superdrug for £6.99 each. There are a total of 12 lip gloss shades, each with a cute personalised name from Tanya herself. Tanya is said to have named each shade after her favourite things, I picked up 4 shades, from top to bottom I have 'Chic', 'Smile Dream Sparkle', 'Aurora' and 'Champagne toast'.  I prefer nudes and muted pinks on my lips and so got a few of the more wearable colours.

The glosses themselves are extremely pigmented, buttery and smooth on the lips. The shades above from left to right are 'Champagne Toast', 'Chic', 'Aurora' and 'Smile Dream Sparkle'. All of the glosses have a lovely sweet scent when applied, however the scent does not linger or cause headaches like some other glosses. The staying power of the glosses is also great, they will stay put for a couple of hours no bother and also moisturise your lips at the same time. My personal favourite shade is 'Champagne Toast', which is a lovely sparkly nude shade. This is great for daytime and also looks beautiful at night with a strong eye make-up. 'Champagne Toast' looks similar to 'Chic' on the lips however 'Chic' does not have any shimmer (Can you tell how I justified having to buy both shades to myself?). Overall these glosses are amazing and I would definitely recommend them, you will struggle trying to find a better quality gloss for under £7 and I have no doubt that a few more shades will soon be joining my collection.

Let me know if you have tried these and what your favourite shades are.
