Revlon Lip Butters

These lip butters are one of those things I've always wanted, and since I seemed to be on a lipstick buying spree I decided that I may as well go ahead and get them finally. I first bought Raspberry Pie, which is a lovely bright pink, and I liked it so much that I decided to get another one in a more red tone - Candy Apple

The packaging on these is unusual but quite nice, featuring the Revlon quilted effect. They're a bit annoying to open though, because the lid is so huge. They look nice next to my other lipsticks though, and it's easy to spot which colour I'm looking for which is great because I'm always putting on my makeup in a hurry.

The first colour, Raspberry Pie, has a stupid name but I really loved the colour. The payoff is great as well, which is didn't expect from such a balm like lipstick. I lined it a little around the edges but otherwise it doesn't really need much else other than a touch up from time to time.

Candy Apple, however, was a very different story. I wanted a red that was easier to wear and I assumed the colour would be as strong as Raspberry Pie. What I got instead was much more of a tinted balm finish, which was kind of disappointing. It came out quite streaky as well, which seemed not to stop however much I kept reapplying. I found that with a lip primer underneath it was less streaky, but it's still not quite what I thought it would be. I'd say that this lipstick would be great if you're a bit afraid of wearing red and you're not sure it'll suit you, because it still has a hint of the colour but isn't very powerful.

Top colour is Candy Apple, bottom colour is Raspberry Pie

It's kind of a shame because I was so impressed with Raspberry Pie. What I can't stand, though, are the stupid names. Why are makeup companies obsessed with naming products after food? Also none of the colours really appealed to me other than these two, there were some that were glittery, which looked kind of weird and others that were just strange tones.

Kind of disappointing, but as I've said, Raspberry Pie was great and I'd really recommend it, that at least was worth the wait.
