April Wishlist

Hello

1. Lush Hoppity Poppity Bath Bomb - Lush - £2.50
2. Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum - Boots - £7.99
3. Clinique Pop Lip Colour - Boots - £16.00 
4. Superfacialist by Una Brennan Rose Cleanser - Boots - £7.99 

 
1. Easter is one of my favorite times of year, no doubt because everything is adorned with rabbits. Hoppity Poppity is a snip at £2.50 and the perfect way to enjoy  a guilt-free Easter treat. Not that I have any guilt about scoffing a huge chocolate egg, lets just get that out there.

2. I have 3 Lip Butters from Revlon and I would love to expand my collection. Sugar Plum is an unusual shade for me but I know I love the formulas and the pigmentation - just got to get out of my comfort zone!

3. How pretty? I never really visit the Clinique stand any more, I do find that the lower priced offerings of other brands are just as good. After seeing these popping up left, right and centre on some of my favourite blogs I think I may have to invest. From what I can gather they are a Boots exclusive.

4. I love the Superfacialist range and I do love trying a new cleanser. Rose has really grown on me recently and I don't think you can beat a cream cleanser and a flannel in a morning. I think the pricepoint is excellent too, as you get 150ml.

January Wishlist

Hello

1. Roots - Lush - £10.25
2. Anastasia Brow Wiz - Cult Beauty - £15.50
3. Revlon Lash Potion Mascara - Boots - £9.99
4. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Hot Pepper - £8.99

1. I've really been loving Lush's haircare range recently and I've read so many good things about Roots. My friend Rachel has just purchased this and I can't wait to see how she gets on.

2. Every man and his dog seems to use this and I'm not usually a sucker for hype. I do love a tidy eyebrow and I think this offering looks great.

3. I've read a review on this mascara recently and it's jumped right to the top of my wishlist. I've been using a Too Faced one but it's far too expensive to repurchase so I'm going to give this one a whirl.

4. Even though I think I've found my perfect red I still want to try Hot Pepper from Bourjois. I think it looks amazing and not too expensive either. Win.

Revlon Lip Butters

Hello

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend, I went to the Trafford Centre today for some lunch and shopping, and finally got my hands on the Revlon Lip Butters.

First of all I would like to apologise for the photo quality on some of the images, I roped my husband in and we are quite new at this!

The three shades that I bought are 096 Macaroon, 090 Sweet Tart and 053 Sorbet.

The first thing that attracted me to these is that they are much more moisturising than a traditional lipstick. I struggle with normal lipsticks as my lips can be quite dry and the product clings in patches (nice). 

The first thing I do before applying a lip product is to exfoliate with something like this. For application I used two swipes to get my desired colour density. I think that you could build them up more but I prefer a more subtle look for everyday as I work in a hospital environment.

Macaroon

 Sorbet

 Sweet Tart

  
My favourite shade is Sweet Tart, although the above picture really doesn't do it justice (again apologies for the poor camera skills!) The finish that you can see on the Sorbet picture is the same for them all, nice and glossy without being sticky.

I don't think that these lip butters have a particularly long wear time, I would say around 2 hours max, but as they are so easy to apply you can definitely do so on the go.

The packaging is quite basic but I do like the quilting effect on the lid, it makes them look more expensive in my opinion!

For the price of £7.99 each I do personally think they are worth it, especially as they are on 3 for 2 at Boots at the minute.

 

Have you tried any of the Revlon Lip Butters and can you recommend any more shades? Please feel free to leave a comment :).

Thanks for reading and have a lovely evening.

Love

Kayleigh
