Revlon Lip Butters

Wednesday Beauty Buys

My obsession of 2013 has to be the Revlon Lip Butter. I find them so easy to apply - even the brighter colours. They are moisturising, but not sticky and the colour range is great.

My favourite colour is Wild Watermelon- number 63 ( yes I have two in case they discontinue it!) It is a bright, corally, red. Not a pillar box red - much more subtle and wearable for everyday.

They are softening,  smoothing and instantly hydrating. They contain mango butter, shea butter and coconut butter to naturally boost lip moisture. They have a medium coverage with a high shine finish. In a study by Revlon 94% of women saw an improvement in their lip moisture.

Wild Watermelon, Macaroon, Peach Parfait, Sorbet lip Butters

You can usually pick them up on a offer at Boots in the Uk - they are buy one get one half price at the moment. 

I believe Target stock them in the US

Have you tried any Revlon Lip Butters ?

Long Lasting Lip Colour......

Wednesday Beauty Buys

A quick slick of lipstick can make you look like you have put effort into the most simple of outfits. After I had my children I used to keep a lippy by the front door and one in the car so if all else failed I could slap some on last minute with some oversized shades and look half decent! Not that I fooled anyone if they looked closely I'm sure......

Staying power is a mum's best friend when it comes to make up and Lipstick is no different. I'm afraid that lipgloss, that needs to be reapplied at regular intervals is not a great idea for me. I find that I am conscious of it on my lips and with one puff of wind my hair whips across my face and glues itself to my lips. Not a great sight.

So in my quest for the perfect pout I have tried two products:

1.Too faced Lip insurance - smoothing anti feathering Lip Primer.

You apply this to your lips ( bit obvious that!) before your lip colour. It claims to be a full coverage insurance policy against fading,messing and lifeless lip colour . 

What it says "on the tin" :

Lipsticks and lipglosses bond to Lip Insurance to lock down and intensify colour for longer lasting wearability. It's weightless formula creates a creamy yet velvety finish that smoothes over lines to perfectly prep lips for lipstick and gloss. A powerful dose of antiageing ceramides and peptides increase lip fullness and help restore natural collagen. 

These are some pretty heavy claims, ( do you think some products actually over claim?) , but I did find that it improves how my lip colour went on and prevented it from feathering. It maintains the colour of the lips quite well, so I would say a pretty good product if stayability is high on your priority list. I will certainly repurchase.

2. Duwop Lip Venom

This product is meant to do what it says "on the tin" :

Plumping Gloss.

Nice and simple!

I did find it did something to my lips . A couple of seconds after applying your lips start to tingle and feel a bit uncomfortable. That'll be why it's call venom then? However, I don't think it made my lips look plumper at all. It just seemed to be a shiny, slightly glittery lip gloss that stings slightly. It is a tiny weeny little tube for £14 so I won't buy this again . Not my cup of tea.

My favourite simple lip product for moisturising lips is still my pot of Carmex. It only cost me £1.50. See my review here.

What is your favourite lip treatment or colour at this time of year?
