Gasp! New Revlon Lip Butters!

Revlon Lip Butters and I have had a tumultuous relationship. I bought my first one and regretted it the second I put it on. I remember thinking they were too shiny and not that moisturizing. I threw it in the back of my makeup drawer and didn't think about it again.

Then I kept seeing other bloggers and youtubers talking about it, so I pulled it out, applied it to my lips, and fell in love. They are a little shiny and they aren't all that moisturizing but I don't care any more. The pigmentation is great and the sheen that they give is about as glossy as I get seeing as lip gloss is my arch nemesis and my lips are usually as matte as the day is long.

When I found out Revlon was releasing a collection I got my friend to drive me to Target and we went hog wild. We ended up going to a few stores just to find one of them. I have a problem, I'll admit it but that doesn't mean I'm doing anything to change it.

Ahhh, aren't they just glorious? The collection had four colors but I only picked up three of them. These are Juicy Papaya, Wild Watermelon, and Sorbet.

Juicy Papaya is a great coral-peach color. It's a perfect my lips but better kind of color for me because I have a peach tone to my skin and my lips. This has been my go to color recently and it goes with just about every eye look. It's a no brainer and I highly recommend it if you're looking just to add a little bit of color to your lips without it being overpowering or difficult to apply.

This is Wild Watermelon. It's a gorgeous dark reddish pink that is a great summer option for a red lip, which we all know I love. It's a beautiful and very unique color that I find myself reaching for quite often.

This last color is Sorbet. It's a light pink-fuchsia shade that is great for me. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the barbie pink look with my complexion so this is a good option for me when I want a pink lip, especially for summer. I think this would be flattering on just about everyone and it's definitely worth a shot. 

Here they are swatched! From left to right, Juicy Papaya, Wild Watermelon, and Sorbet. 

These came out a little while ago but I still see them in most stores so I bet you can get your hands on them.

Do you like Revlon Lip Butters? If you haven't tried them then you definitely should!

I hope everyone is getting off to a good summer. Happy Monday!

Favorite Winter Lip Products

Hi my name is Kylie and I'm addicted to lip products.

Given this information I decided to share with you guys my favorite lip products for the winter. As we all know, the cold can be brutal on your lips. My best advice is to keep piling on a good lip balm whenever you think of it, it's the only way to avoid the cracked and dry lips that are cute on no one.

With that being said, here are all my favorite lip products that I can't seem to stop reaching for in the winter months.

MAC lipsticks are some of my favorites. On the left is "Russian Red" and on the right is "Rebel". Russian Red is a blue toned dark red matte lipstick which goes great with just about any complexion in my opinion. Rebel is a plum purple color with red undertones that is gorgeous applied as a stain and as a full lipstick. Both are rich in color and are gorgeous, however they can both be a bit drying so definitely use lip balm before applying.

This gorgeous little baby is the NARS Velvet Matte Lipstick in "Damned". It functions as a lip liner and lipstick and is incredibly long lasting. It can be a little drying but again, just apply some lip balm beforehand. The color is a dark fuchsia-magenta that is absolutely gorgeous and it is incredibly easy to apply. The only flaw is that you have to sharpen it, therefore you lose product. Still, it's one of my all time favorites lipsticks.

This is the Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in "Fiery". It's a great moisturizing option for a red lip in the winter. It's similar in tone to Russian Red without being quite as opaque or drying. It lasts quite a long time on the lips and has a bit of a shine at the beginning that wears away the longer it is on.

Next is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in "Honey". When I first got this it was the summer and I had a bit of a tan. (well, as tan as I can be seeing as I'm Casper the friendly ghost) Now that I've paled out it looks ten times better. It's a very natural brownish pink color that is quite moisturizing. It has a bit of a shine and is perfect for a neutral winter look.

 These two are a recent love of mine. They are the Revlon Lip Butters in "Red Velvet" (left) and "Raspberry Pie" (right). Just like the balm stain I didn't originally like these but I kept finding myself reaching for them. They're the perfect lip product for when you want some color but don't want the drying affect of a lipstick. They aren't as moisturizing as a regular lip balm but they're definitely better than a matte lipstick or any other tinted lip balm I've tried.

Here are all of them swatched! They're in the same order as this post; from left to right, "Russian Red", "Rebel", "Damned", "Fiery", "Honey", "Red Velvet", and "Raspberry Pie".

Happy Friday everyone! So far today I've drank coffee and seen my academic advisor. I'm set to graduate on time in 2014 with both my degrees so it's celebration time! (my celebration includes eating candy and watching "Charmed" by the way).

Have a great weekend! Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon!
