Last year was a great year for new products with my favourite from the year hands down being the Revlon Lip Butters. I can’t quite believe it has taken me so long to write about them but what can I say, better late than never.

I currently own five of these lip
butters and I must confess I can’t see myself stopping there as I really
want to buy Berry Smoothie and Pink Lemonade if I can ever get my hands
on it.
Wild
Watermelon is the most vibrant from my collection which is quite clear
to see from above. It’s quite a heavy swatch which was not intentional
as I found that it had in fact melted a little when I went to use it. I
haven’t noticed this with any of the others so I’m rather stumped as to
what had happened. I keep them all together in the same place so it’s
not as it had been left in a sunny spot anywhere.
Peach
Parfait is a nice peach shade as the name would suggest with a slight
shimmer to it. I don’t mind the shimmer in this to be fair as I find it
quite subtle and after wearing it out last Sunday I can confirm I’ll be
reaching for it a little more as I had forgot how nice it was.
Strawberry
Shortcake is definitely the most girly shade out the five with this
being a light bubblegum pink. I tend not to build this up too much as it
can look a little Barbie on me if I’m not careful which I must say
isn’t the type of look I like to go for. Having said that with just a
nice light application I think it looks really pretty and feminine.
Sugar
Frosting was the first shade I purchased last year and to be honest it
is my most disappointing shade as I find it to be very sheer. It’s still
very nice but it doesn’t provide me with much colour pay off therefore I
only use it now if I want a nice finish on my lips without wanting a
lot of colour.
Last
but not least is my favourite shade which is Juicy Papaya. This is a
gorgeous peachy/coral tone that I have being reaching for pretty much
none stop since I purchased it earlier on this year. This has no shimmer
to it unlike Peach Parfait therefore the colour is much more bold if
that makes sense. On the lips I find this can look quite natural if
applied lightly whereas if you want more colour this can be easily
achieved.
Overall
I really do rate these lip products from Revlon. They’re incredibly
moisturising I think which is something I find hard to say with many lip
products as most tend to dry my lips out. The one thing I would say is
that they don’t last that long on me to be honest, as I find after a few
hours they do need reapplying however for a product that I’m pretty
much obsessed with I can’t say that I mind this.
These are available at Superdrug and Boots for £7.99.
