More of My Favourite Revlon Lipbutters!!!

Several months ago I went out and bought a whole bunch of Revlon Lipbutter lipsticks and promised to put out a blog so you can check them out.  I mentioned that I was waiting for a few more  colours to arrive in the mail.  I've obviously since received them and they are all incredibly amazing.  It's been a few months and all I ever wear these days are my Revlon Lipbutters.  They do last surprisingly longer than I expected on my lips depending on what I eat or drink.  I still absolutely love the texture and they are incredibly moisturizing.  Again, it's like wearing lipbalm, but with the colour intensity of lipstick.       

The colours I wanted to share with you are Peach Parfait, Macaron, Candied Apple and Cherry Tart.

For a recap on the general colour, texture and finish of this Revlon range, you can refer back to a previous post ....Revlon Lipbutters!!!! Finally in the UK!!!

Here's a look at the final four I purchased.

Peach Parfait:

A very neutral peachy colour.  It's almost nude on my lips but will show up a little more on lighter skinned girls. this is very sheer and very natural.

A great every day colour that can be worn for a nude, natural look or to balance out a pair of smouldering eyes.

Macaron:

A darker shade of Peach Parfait with a hint of terracotta.  It's darker but still a very neutral colour.  This one would go best with tanned skinned ladies.

It's a great every day colour as well for those wanting a neutral look that is not completely nude.  Pairs well with natural eyes.

Candied Apple:

This is a red with a hint of orange in it.  It's not quite a deep red, nor is it a very bright red.  It's more of a watermelon red.

Pair with natural and neutral eyes.  This is great for statement lips and a great evening look.

Cherry Tart:

A deep but sheer red.

This is slightly different than Candied Apple as it is a slightly deeper colour.  This one should also be paired with nude eyes and worn for a night out or to achieve a classic polished look.  This is great for those who like the red lip look but feel that the red in regular lipsticks appear too opaque and in your face!!!

I don't think Cherry Tart is available in the UK.  I looked for it originally but couldn't find it and had my cousin bring mine from the US.  They do however, come in 14 shades here in the UK and at £7.99 a pop, you can't go wrong!!!  

What's In My Bag?

I bet because I love makeup, own a ton of products and don't like leaving my apartment without makeup, you probably think I carry a whole makeup case in my big bag!!  You may be surprised to find out that this is  far from accurate.   I always carry a little purse inside my big purse and it only has a handful of products I just can't leave home without!

Hand Cream:

Skin can get really dry whether you are in London or an air-conditioned building in the sweltering heat in some tropical country.  I've been told that hands are a tell tale sign of age because they are often neglected.  I like to carry a small tube with me wherever I go.  It's great for moisturizing my hands...and my legs before heading into the gym with shorts!!

Lipstick/Lipgloss:

I usually carry the lipstick or lipgloss that I'm wearing that day.  This is just for touch ups throughout the day. 

Lip Balm:

The air is incredibly dry here and my lips feel chapped all the time.  This little tin of lipbalm is a life saver.  It's so uncomfortable to have chapped lips and it looks unsightly under lipstick!

Eye Drops:

Just in case my eyes get dry I like to bring eye drops that are packaged in individual tubes.  One is enough for about 4 drops in each eye.  It has a longer shelf life than regular bottled eye drops that have to be thrown out after 3 to 4 weeks of opening.  With these, I can keep them in my purse until I need them and they won't expire for at least a year.

Compact powder:

I bring this to blot oil off my face and set my makeup.  It's also great to have the mirror around just in case my eye makeup smudges during the day. 

Anti Blister Stick:

In case I feel my shoes rubbing against my feet, it's always great to have around to prevent blisters. 

Tissue:

After living in Asia for many years I've realized you never know when you're gonna need tissue so it's always good to have a small pack in your bag.

Hand Sanitizer:

Anti-bacterial hand sanitizer from Bath and Bodyworks is my favourite.  I love the way they smell and I always stock up on them when I'm back in Canada or the States.  Again, you never know when you're gonna need it. 

So there you go!!!  And they all fit into one tiny little bag!!
