Revlon Lip Butters - Swatches and Review

Over the past few weeks I have become a little obsessed with the Revlon lip butters. I have four shades to show you today: - Tutti Frutti (015) an orange colour - lovely  for spring/summer but not too bright -Pink Truffle (001) - a gorgeous brown -toned nude. -Berry Smoothie (050) - pink - berry colour with a little bit of glitter -Cotton Candy (045) - pale pink.

I sometimes don't particularly like Simple products, I have sensitive skin yet I find some of them irritate my skin more than ordinary products do and others are so gentle that they don't do much.
