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 have been wearing this for school for a subtle bit of colour and to protect my lips.


Firstly, I'll give a quick review before I show the swatches. I was extremely surprised at how pigmented these were. I expected them to be more like tinted lip balms (despite the Colourburst advertising - duh!) but instead I found them more like a lip stick in terms of pigmentation.
The only shade I haven't worn loads is Tutti -Frutti, however, I did buy this for spring/summer so it's not that I don't like the shade.
Secondly, they are wonderfully moisturising, even after the colour has gone they feel so nourishing as they contain mango, shea and coconut butter which is brilliant as it means that you can skip lip balm. They have a lovely shine to them but aren't sticky so are a great alternative to gloss which I love but can't wear it with my hair down on a windy day - ergh, long hair struggles.
The only thing that would make them better is if they lasted slightly longer, however, they are really easy to apply even without a mirror so I just top them up every few hours.

Here are the swatches (I apologize that they aren't brilliant and my mouth looks weird but you can see the colour)

Tutti Frutti
Cotton Candy

I hope you liked this post, I would highly recommend these lip butters, they are £7.99 but usually stores such as Boots and Superdrug have offers on brands such as Revlon. 

I'd love to try some more colours so if you have any suggestions let me know!

Challenging a Holy Grail

It's probably a bit strange that my first blog post in a while is a foundation/makeup thing. It really has been a while since I've done anything like this because, let's be honest, anybody reading this is likely 100x more experienced and knowledgable about makeup than I am after spending the year rarely wearing it. However, when I look online, I struggle to find foundation recommendations for people with similar skin to mine so I thought this might be of some use. I have very fair skin so struggle to find anything from high street makeup brands (and high end most of the time) that's the right shade as my skin, despite being pale, doesn't particularly have pink undertones, which most foundations at the lighter end of the shade range tend to have. The only foundation that I tend to buy other than the MAC Studio Fix fluid in NW10 (a tad too dark but good for going out) is the Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry in 110 Ivory. When I first started to use this foundation, I...

13 Things I Would Tell My 13 Year Old Self

I was looking at my blog the other day and realised that one of the things I wrote my blog was about was being a teenager. I realised that this needs to be changed soon, I'll be 20 in October and past the point where I can chat about what it feels like to be a teenager . To some extent, I feel I am already past this point, I have left school, am legally an adult, can drive and live alone for the majority of the time . When I began blogging, I think I was 13 . I began this blog in 2015 but prior to it, I had another, the name of which I cannot remember and any trace of which is loooong gone . So, as I leave my teenage years, I thought I would reflect back on what is nearly a decade, in the hope that a 13 year old somewhere will read this and at least take something away from it, no matter how small . Without further ado, here is a list of things I would tell my 13 year old self . 1. stop obsessing about your weight  You've been conscious of your weight from a very early...
