Heyyy girls!
So last Friday morning while browsing the Boots website I noticed that the Revlon Lip Butters had gone on sale! Considering they weren’t meant to be released until this week and I had received no pre-order email, I jumped at the chance and ordered two! I went to pick them up from my local store yesterday and they only cost £10 thanks to the 2 for £10 with Revlon deal – yaaay!
When I seen pictures online, I wasn’t to keen on the packaging of the lip butters as I thought the plastic lids made them look a tad cheap but I completely changed my mind when I received mine. I was surprised by how sturdy the packaging is and you really have to pull to get the lid off, so you know there will be no accidents if you carry it in your bag! (I’m looking at you 17 Beehive lipstick!) I also really like that the colour of the packaging coincides with the colour inside so if you collect a few you don’t have to spend time reading all the names to find the shade you want.
Cupcake
Because I was ordering online without having tried on the colours I decided to play it quite safe with my choices even though I was drawn to some of the brights. I decided to go with Strawberry Shortcake and Cupcake. Strawberry shortcake is a beautiful strawberry shade of pink that leans towards a toned down hot pink colour. I think it’s going to be great when I want a bit of colour on my lips during the day but nothing too bright. Cupcake is a light, baby pink which very similar to Barry M 100 lipstick if you have this. I don’t really have a colour similar to this and so far I’m in love with it!
Strawberry Shortcake
The pigmentation of these are amazing considering they aren’t even marketed as lipsticks. I would say the colour pay off is just as good as some lipsticks I own. The formulation is much smoother than a lipstick and glides on on your lips beautifully. As they are a lip butter, they are super moisturizing on your lips and leave them feeling smooth and hydrated.

I am sooo glad I got my hands on these and I will definitely be purchasing more when they are released in store later this week!
