Is there room up there on the bandwagon?

Firstly, hello to my beautiful new followers! I really appreciate all your lovely comments and will reply to them asap!! Yes, I've been sucked into a trend. Again. This time it's the Revlon Lip Butters. I've seen these all over the blogosphere and drooled over other people's gorgeous pictures and descriptions, so eventually I picked up my own. Most bloggers seem to have gone for the fairly middle-of-road shades so I wanted to go a bit out there and get a bolder shade, Candy Apple, which is a pillar box red. The packaging is great for these products, I love the quilted effect and how you get a good idea of the shade from the colour of the lid.
The texture is very buttery indeed, creamy and thick, full of moisturising qualities. It goes on fairly sheer but you can layer it up easily. The only tiny gripe about this is it wears down quickly, I've used this three times and have made a dent in it already. Apart from that I LOVE this and want some of the other colours now. Here are a couple of pics of Candy Apple applied, please excuse the up nose shot and dry lips!!!
I think it looks a little more orange toned on the lips, and it smells fruity but not too strong.
Yuck scabby dry bits, sorry! But you get the idea anyway :) I hate to admit it but everyone really was right about this product, and for £7.99 I think it is a good buy.

10/10 and will be repurchasing

  2. I've heard a lot about these, and they look great! The only reason I've held back so far is that I'm currently on a temporary lipstick/gloss no-buy (I seriously have way too many!) but I'm beginning to cave ^^;;

    Found you on Blog Love Therapy's bloghop :)
