Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

This is lip butter with color. This is a good item to be in your daily make-up bag for regular usage and touch ups. I went to guardian and I saw that they do have a wide range of colors. From red tones, plum tones, brown tones, pink tones and orange tones. I have purchase 3 different lip butter.

L-R : Cherry Tart, Peach Parfait, Strawberry Shortcake

Swatches

Cherry Tart: This is a wearable red. It is like a stain of red, not too strong, therefore it is wearable for day time application

Peach Parfait: A very light natural orange tone with shimmer

Strawberry shortcake: A Barbie pink color. It sits nicely on fairer skin tone

Here are the colors on my lips

Cherry Tart

Peach Parfait

Strawberry Shortcake

My favourite out of these 3 colors is the Strawberry short cake. It may look too pink when I first apply, but after a while it really sits very nicely and not too overboard. On days that you feel a bit girlie, this is a great lippie :)

Despite saying that this is a good item to be in your regular make up bag, I find that the texture is a bit soft. So if you bring around in your handbag, I find it melting. If you notice my pictures above, the lipstick kind of lost its shape. It is not so solid, maybe because it is lip butter so the consistency is different from normal lipsticks.

Verdict: It does not dry my lips , nice range of colors a bit too soft and it melts a little especially if you carry it around in your handbag.

My Revlon Haul

I ran out of powder foundation as I have finished my benefit Hello Flawless foundation. Read my review HERE. Really liked it but I am kinda broke these days so I was out looking for a more economical option :)

I tested the new Revlon Photogenic foundation but I feel that it is too shimmery for day wear and I did not pick the Beyond Natural powder foundation because I wanted to try something else. So in the end, my pick was Revlon New Complexion one step make up and because it is a liquid with powder finish foundation, the sales advisor said that I need to top up with loose powder, so I also bought the loose powder from the same range.

This is my first time using 2 in 1 liquid & powder foundation (something new mahh). I would normally settle for liquid foundation or powder foundation but never tried 2 in 1.

The foundation glides on very easily and gives a pretty good coverage. On the other hand, I think that it might not be too suitable for people who have oily skin. Maybe in general oily skin should stick with powder foundation as it gives a sheer finish.

I feel that I cannot skip the loose powder if I am using this liquid with powder finish foundation or else I will look pretty “shinny” after my moisturizer and sunblock. But I have also tried using this loose powder alone after my skin care and sun block. It works as well but of course coverage is minimal. I am using 03 sand beige for the New Complexion one step make up and translucent 01 for the loose powder.

Verdict: The foundation comes with SPF 15 and glides on smoothly. Both also come with a sponge. The packaging is not very appealing. Nothing much to shout about, for me this is just normal, value for money.
