Currently Testing: Revlon Lips

Hi Beauties!
Can you believe it’s July already?  I feel like June completely flew by as I spent the majority of it in bed sleeping in order to recover.  Anyway,  today I wanted to share some gorgeous products from Revlon that I’ve been trying out.  I love these because they suit all skin tones whether you’re super pale like me (almost transparent) really dark skinned.  They’re also so great because these lip products aren’t going to blow your budget.  Let’s face it, we all want to add something to our look, feel super glamorous and still have money in the bank while doing so (hashtag #winning).
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

This is my favourite out of the three lip products I’ve been trying.  It’s so creamy that it glides on to my lips and really moisturises them.  The colour is really long lasting which I something that I really look for in a lip colour.  Nothing bugs me more than an expensive lip colour that disappears in no time.  I’ve been trying shade 040 Red Velvet and I think this is a gorgeous colour for everyone to have in their collection and it is a perfect wine colour which is great for the winter season.  I definitely want to go buy a few more of these perhaps in a nude and pink shade.  I also can’t resist the quilted packaging, it’s so much fun!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 

I fell head over heels in love with the Lip Butter that the lipstick unfortunately great expectations to live up to.  The lipstick is great if you find the creaminess of the lip butter too much.  It is pretty standard as far as lipsticks go.  I’m using shade 475 Icy Violet which I think would be absolutely gorgeous on girls with darker skin tones than myself.  
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss

This is a gorgeous lip gloss.  I’ve been applying it on its own and also over the Lip Butter if I’m going for a really bold lip and I think both ways it looks great.  This is another product that I will be definitely be going to stock up on in a few different shades.  I’m currently using the shade 220 Fuchsia Finery which is such a fun colour.  I’m didn’t expect to like it but I’m actually crazy about it since trying it and I would really love the same shade lip butter for the perfect marriage of Fuchsia.  This is another shade that I think looks so stunning on girls of every skin type. 
Have you tried any of these lip products?  I’d love to know what you think or if you have any other recommendations for me.  Thanks for reading!

    It’s too bad you aren’t crazy about the Revlon Super Lustourous lip stick! I own a few and really love them. But then again, I also really like the colors and they work well with me. Maybe if you found a better color you would like it more? Either way, lipstick testing is fun! I’ve recently bought a lise watier one, and I do like it more than Revlon in terms of staying power, and it has a matte look which I like! Thanks for sharing Leanne 🙂 xo

      I think you’re 100% right. I think that shade would be great on a different skin tone and I haven’t tried any others so I’ll need to explore the colours to find one that suits me. I’m so glad to hear you love them. I’ll definitely be looking out for those, thank you for the recommendation! I’m always looking for new lipsticks to try. 🙂
