Review: Revlon Lip Butters

I have been meaning to try out Revlon Lip Butter's for ages now, but it's been one of those things that I kept forgetting to pick up and then gets put to the bottom of my list of 'to-buy's'. I was on Buyapowa recently, and saw an amazing deal they were having for three of the Lip Butter's for £9.50. I thought this was an absolute steal as they normally retail for £7.99 each, so getting three for under a tenner was a great deal and plus, they were all colours that I had wanted to try out.

The colours I got are Strawberry Shortcake, Lollipop and Sweet Tart, which are all variations of pink.

I had heard these were a lot like the L'oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks which I lovee and have been wearing a lot recently and I actually picked up a couple more the other day (post to follow). When comparing the two, I would say that they are in fact very similar, but the Lip Butter's are slightly creamier whereas the Caresse Lipsticks are more glossy feeling.

Sweet Tart

The Lip Butters are lovely and glossy, and are almost a three in one of lip balm, lipstick and lipgloss together when on the lips. The colours are gorgeously pigmented, but can definitely be sheered out to add just a wash of colour if you wanted. They are very wearable, and could be dressed up or down.

I love all three of the colours I got and will definitely be looking out for some other colours in the range. I think the coral toned one would be right up my street!

Have you tried the Lip Butters? What did you think? Let me know if you would be interested in seeing a more in depth comparison of the Lip Butters and Caresse Lipsticks :)

Magazine Freebie!

I picked up July's issue of Glamour magazine, and noticed they are giving away a free Benefit sample with each copy. There are three to chose between, BadGal Lash Mascara, Porefessional and That Gal.

I thought this was really good value as the magazine is only £2 and you are getting £10+ worth of Benefit product!

I chose to get the Bad Gal Lash Mascara, as I have wanted to try it for a while, but have heard and read mixed reviews so wasn't ready to make the purchase. These size samples are really generous and are great if like me you are wanting to test a product out as you are able to try it out a good amount of times to decide whether you like it or not. 

 I must admit, I haven't given this much of a test run yet. I applied a quick coat before running out the door, so I am looking forward to giving it a proper go and seeing what I think!

This is a great barg, so pick one up before they all go! I am definitely tempted to go back and get the other two aswell as Marie Claire who are giving away free Ciate Paint Pots!

Have you got a favourite magazine?
