Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum

Welcome to my 500th blog post! Wow, can you believe how many hours I spent sitting behind a computer screen just writing up post after post in this blog? It's insane! If you are a new reader, please do stay and I hope you like it here as much as I do. lol. If you've been reading my blog for a while now, I salute you!

Anyways, today I will be sharing my thoughts on one of my favorite lip products from Revlon! 

Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum

Out of all the lipsticks that I own, I like the packaging of the lip butters the most! Just by the plastic tube itself you can already tell what the color of the product is.

Guardian recently released a few more 'new' shades from the Lip Butter range and I have been dying to try them out! Especially Tutti Frutti because it's a velvet orange and you know how I have been searching high and low for a good orange! Sugar Plum I think is one of the colors that was first released and I love it!

Sugar Plum looks like a deep berry color in the tube but when you apply it on the lips it's really quite sheer. Which is good for me because if it is any darker I'm not sure if I will be comfortable wearing it out all the time.

Like the other lip butters, Sugar Plum is really creamy and easy to apply on the lips. It's one of those colors where you don't need a mirror to help guide you put it on. I like to think of it as more of a chapstick than a lipstick. Not too sure about the darker colors like Candy Apple and Red Velvet but for Sugar Plum, it's definitely sheer enough to be a tinted chapstick!

The Revlon Lip Butter range retails for B$15.90. I can't wait to get my hands on the other new shades!

The Face Shop: Happy Chu Lip

Walked in to The Face Shop the other day just to browse around and was greeted with "Hi, Welcome to Face Shop!" I noticed that many of the staff in beauty stores here greet people whenever someone walks into their store and they'll greet you once again when you leave even though you bought nothing haha I think it adds a nice touch to the store, it makes the store a whole lot more approachable. 

Anyways, I haven't been to TFS for a while now and decided to go in to see if there's anything new. The sales lady told me that there are a few new things like their new summer products and also this new line of lip stuff from their Lovely ME:EX collection. I've been searching high and low for a good orange lip product and I saw this one from the new collection and picked it up.

The five colors available

I got the orange shade for roughly B$12. It's not cheap for a tinted lip balm but I thought I'd give this a try since I hardly ever use TFS's lip products. tbh, this is only my second lip product from TFS! The other was their lip and cheek tint which I love!

The amount of product available

Now that I think about it, I'd rather spend that money on a Revlon Lip Butter! haha just because Revlon Lip Butters are more pigmented and you can get a lip balm like this for way cheaper at Guardian!

The color payoff is decent for a lip balm and I like how glossy and smooth my lips feel after applying this. It moisturizes the lips without feeling overly slick. This product does have a subtle scent to it though, it reminds me of erasers with fragrances that I love to buy when I was a kid haha

 Well, I still am searching for an orange colored lip product! I wanna get something more pigmented but nothing too vibrant of course lol Just wanna try it out to see if it suits my skin tone. Plus, orange can be a fun color to wear on the lips!

Revlon Lip Butters

I almost can't believe it when I saw Revlon displaying their lip butters on the shelf in Guardian. Finally! I didn't expect them to reach Brunei so quickly! I was thinking it would probably reach here two years later so I can't complain lol Come to think of it, why are lip butters here and yet, Maybelline 24-hour color tattoo eye shadows are not. Hm.

The two Revlon Lip Butters that I bought

Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop

The lip butters were all over the youtube beauty community and I kinda get why they rave about this so much. It's really super creamy! I like that Strawberry Shortcake doesn't have any glitter in them unlike Lollipop though it does seem a tad too light for my skin tone. =/ I can never tell which shade suits my skin tone unless I actually apply them on my lips.

I am pretty content with their prices too. Currently they are 10% off but the retail price is B$15.90. Can't complain because the ColorBurst lipsticks are even more expensive. This is actually a good alternative to the ColorBurst lipsticks! haha

I'm kinda regretting not getting Peach Parfait now. It looked so gorgeous on Emma Stone in the little booklet that advertises the Lip Butters. Between the two that I bought I think I preferred Lollipop just because it's more pigmented and looks naiser on my lips wtf

Swatches

I noticed that some of the lip butters are not as pigmented but I guess in general they are quite good! Kinda disappointed that they only released 8 shades here instead of the full 20 shades I believe. Hopefully in the future they're gonna release more like the Revlon Matte lipsticks!

L'oreal Color Riche in Beige Creme

Hey guys!

Been having kind of a writer's block this past week. I can't put myself in front of my computer desk to blog! The assignments are also starting to pile up on my desk now. ugh

Anyhoos, this time around I wanna share with you one of my favourite lipsticks of all time! It's L'oreal Color Riche lipstick in Beige Creme.

L'oreal Color Riche lipstick in Beige Creme

The color looks like a really deep burgundy brown-ish color in the tube but when you put it on it looks more like a plum color. Though it may look dark, I actually feel pretty comfortable wearing this out. Maybe because it's not as sharp as a true red? I get really conscious if I wear super bright red lipstick out. Gah I need more practice wtf

L'oreal Color Riche lipstick in Beige Creme

This is actually one of the first lipsticks that I own when I first started getting interested in beauty products. It's really creamy and moisturizing and goes on really smoothly like a lip balm! Seriously. I don't even remember how much this costs because I've had it since forever!

This is definitely one of those colors which you can wear out in the day or at night. But then again you can wear any colored lipstick you want at any time of the day right? If you're looking to try out darker lipsticks but don't know where to start, I really recommend this one!

Etude House: Lipgloss

So I recently went in to Etude House in Seria and I picked up two lipglosses. I had discounts off then because it was still during the Salebration which has been going on nationwide.

Moon Crystal Power and Roll Roll Gloss

Gosh the names they give their lipglosses. smh. They sound like what Sailormoon would say lol "Moon... Crystal... POWER!!!" Maybe that's what Sailormoon uses?

Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss in Tomato Jelly Latte

I really like this one! It has a juicy orange tint with a pretty decent pigmentation. I've been looking for a color like this and am so glad when I found it in Etude House. I think they have the best range of lipglosses! Nudes, Pinks, Beiges, Oranges, Purples, sparkly, non-sparkly, they have it all! I can just stand there and swatch them on my arm for an hour without even realising it.

I also like that it's not too sticky like how some lipglosses can get. I have long hair and it's a pain in the ass when my hair gets stuck on my lips. The only downside to this product is the applicator. It has a rounded applicator which looks very cute but unfortunately it makes putting on the product difficult because of the rounded edges. Somehow I always draw out of the line of my lips with this. Also, this product goes on blotchy with the applicator but you can easily fix that by rubbing your sexy lips together oh yeah wtf

Moon Crystal Power lipgloss in Purply Holy Beam

This one looked so pretty swatched! The gloss is purplish with tons of sparkles to it. I feel like a kid whenever I put this on lol However the brush applicator is so tiny it takes time to fill in your lips with the product! So what I normally do is apply this just on the center of my lips to give it a more dimensional look.

I like the color but it's not my favorite lipgloss. It's also very sticky by the way.

If I'm not mistaken these retails for only a little above BND$10 each. I actually paid only a few dollars for the Moon Crystal Power lipgloss because they were 50% off then. Overall I really like their lipglosses because they have a good range of colors and there are so many different formulations to them it's hard not to find something you'd like. I say go try them out if you haven't already! :)

Makeup I bring for vacation

Hey girls!

Is it just me or am I constantly using 'Hey guys!', 'Hey people!' and all those stuff for the beginning of each and every one of my blog posts? Haha... I don't know how I should begin otherwise. :P
