Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya.

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya (£7.99 from Boots). 

My initial thoughts on the Revlon Lip Butters were that they provided minimal colour with an initially moisturising formula that soon dried out my already dry lips (you can see my original review here). I honestly didn't get what all the hype was about, I thought they were massively overrated. I went a real long time without even thinking about giving them another go, but then my fella's mam bought one and loved it and my curiosity was reignited. I decided that maybe my expectations of the Lip Butters was all wrong- I was looking for high intensity colour with a lasting finish. But this product has never claimed to do such a thing- they claim to be a lightly pigmented moisturising lip balm/lipstick hybrid. Once I'd got this into my head, me and the Lip Butters got a long just fine.

Juicy Papaya gives a pretty coral finish to the lips whilst being super moisturising and softening. I still, however, stand by my original observation that you do have to reapply this product throughout the day for both colour and moisture top-ups. Having said all that, I do find myself reaching for this product because it's super easy to wear, whatever condition my lips are in. Overall, I really like this product, despite my initial disliking and this has become a handbag favourite of mine.

In a nutshell: this Lip Butter is a super summery coral shade but will need reapplying throughout the day.

April Favourites.

Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask; Real Techniques Expert Face and Stippling Brushes; MaxFactor CC Cream; Revlon Lip Butters in Juicy Papaya and Pink Lemonade; Look Beauty Fresh Cheeks in Guava and e.l.f Brow Brush.

I feel like I've been pretty lazy and uninspired on the blogging front recently, I'm not 100% sure why. When I was collecting my April Favourites together, I realised I've not actually reviewed most of them yet on my blog! I think I'm a bit behind with reviewing products but hopefully I'll catch myself up at some point. My first favourite is the Osmo Deep Repair mask which is an absolute saviour for my coloured damaged hair. It's great for using as a deep conditioner every time you wash your hair, as well as a mask which you can leave on for upto 15minutes.  It smells amazing too which is always a bonus! I've also been loving my two newest Real Techniques Brushes- the Expert Face Brush (review here) and the Stippling Brush. 

I've been swapping my foundations about this month but the one I've been turning to the most is the MaxFactor CC Cream (review here)- it's got a super light-weight air-whipped texture which smooths out the skin tone and colour-corrects to provide the perfect base. My everyday blusher has been the Look Beauty Fresh Cheeks cream blusher in Guava (review here) which is a super pretty coral shade. It's perfect partner is the RT Stippling Brush for sure! This is a 'last week in the month' favourite as I only recently purchased it but I've been loving using the e.l.f Brow Brush for making my brows look more natural when I fill them in. Finally, the surprise of the century (for me anyway) is that I like Revlon Lip Butters!!! I hated the first one I bought last year when they launched but I've fallen in love with two of the newer shades Juicy Papaya and Pink Lemonade, which I'll be reviewing soon. 

I've not got much else to report apart from that yesterday I bought myself a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Black Spiked Heels and I'm super giddy and excited about it!!!!! I'll be doing a total love-fest post on them soon. Thanks for stopping by x
