MAC Lovelorn, Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie, Kate Moss for Rimmel 08
I think I might just hold the record for only Beauty Blogger to not go crazy for the Revlon Lip Butters. Sure they're okay, but to be honest, the colour range isn't great, it's extensive but they're all a bit weird, and I'm not sure how they get off marketing these as a lip butter on anything but formula, cause these things are not moisturising at all.
Anywho, minor problems aside, I finally found one I like in the shade Wild Watermelon, which was a later release, but to be honest, I think I've only worn it twice, since I rarely sport a sheer red lip, lovely as it is.
Quite recently Boots and Superdrug had Revlon products on two for £10 to celebrate the release of the Lash Potion Mascara. I had my eye on said mascara (more on that at a later date) and since it retails at £9.99, it made sense to splurge an extra penny to pick up something else.
Since everyone and their mother seems to be in love with these damn lipsticks, I figured I'd dive back into the pool and have another look at the shade range, and after swatching every damn one, I plumped for Berry Smoothie, who's packaging definitely does not represent it's colour. Annoying much.
Now, the one I swatched in the shop was pretty mushed, and it actually looked much darker than mine does (sob), this shade is actually pretty similar to my natural lip colour (if they actually were hydrating, this would be okay, since it would be like a lip balm) but it actually means you can barely see it on me. In terms of formula, it's lovely, but there's just something missing from these.
I tried, but I really am not sure what the hype around these lipsticks is, they're pretty pricey (£7.99) and there are a lot more lipsticks that are cheaper and better. Similarly, I think I'd rather spend an extra seven pounds for a MAC/Urban Decay/Benefit lipstick, than go for one of these again. I just don't get it. Definitively glad I only paid a penny for this!
Are you a fan of the Revlon Lip Butters? What do you think?
Phew, glad I'm not the only one! Agree with you completely :)
ReplyDeleteI've never got the hype around these either! The sheer colors don't appeal to me. When I wear a lipstick I want it to be seen! The mess they turn in to after being swatched in shops has put me of a lot too! Kelsey xxWww.kelseydawnblogs.com
ReplyDeleteI did like these but what puts me off a bit is that I don't find they last long at all. However, I do like the texture x
ReplyDeleteAhh I thought I was alone! I just don't get why everyone loves them!
ReplyDeleteCompletely! I have kept this one in my bag and used it maybe three times and it's turned into a smush! xx
ReplyDeleteYeah they don't have much staying power! I like the texture too but I feel like they either need to be more hydrating or more pigmented to be worth getting! x
