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!

NYX blushers: Spice and Mocha

I'm so glad I finally had the chance to check out NYX's products at Shop at Sarah's a few weeks ago! Been dying to try out their blushers! I actually wanna try their Rouge Cream blush but the shop doesn't carry those so I picked up two of their powder blushers instead.

I got them for B$15.90 each which is a bit much I think but I got them anyway. It's not too bad considering you don't have to wait for shipping time and you also get to swatch the products in the store.

Spice is a rose colored blush with a slight silver shimmer. Nothing crazy though, you can't even really see the silver shimmer on your face unless you're standing an inch away from the mirror lol Also, this blush is ridiculously pigmented!! I'm so used to using Springsheen from MAC which is a sheertone blush that I always use by really dipping my blush brush into the blush before applying them on my cheeks. So when I do that with NYX's Spice, I literally look like I have clown cheeks. 

All I need is a gentle tap of my blush brush on Spice and then blending them onto my cheeks and I'm done! No kidding... this blush will last me a while! A little goes a long way with Spice.

NYX blush in Mocha

I don't know why they call this blush Mocha? It's definitely less of a mocha and more of a peach! haha Anyways, Mocha is a very pretty peachy colored matte blush. This is less pigmented than Spice (thank goodness) but still quite pigmented nonetheless. I'm not sure of the other blushers by NYX but these two that I currently own aren't that powdery at all and they are so easy to work with and to blend. Totally worth the money I paid for. It makes me wanna go back to the store and buy all the other shades!

Check out the NYX stand the next time you're at Shop at Sarah's. I really do think that these blushers might actually be of better quality than the blushers of some of the other brands offered here locally. :)
