So I've had a week off to do whatever I like and I planned to be really good and read a couple books that I have been meaning to start, go for long walks and ultimately spring clean my house.....HA. The walk I did end up going on took me through some sort of treacherous mountain, which may sound quite idyllic...but when you had planned on going for a leisurely stroll through town in easytone shoes (where the soles on the feet are actually balls to help tone your calves) it ended up on a slippery, ankle twisting journey.
So plan B was to do a bit of retail therapy. I thought "you know what, maybe its time to invest in some proper walking boots, maybe some with extra grip and ankle support"..I started on Millets website and somehow, through no choice of my own (I say this because my willpower when it comes to makeup is zilch) ended up on Boots makeup range. So off to the shops I went and invested in Revlon's lip butter.
IT'S ALL ABOUT REVLON LIP BUTTER BABY! HOLLAAAAAA!
In the last couple months I have heard quite a bit about this new Revlon product, how it can moisturise lips yet has the stay and colour of a true high quality lipstick. I suffer from dry chapped lips so easily and the weather is definitely not helping (and it is currently snowing outside my window AGAIN). Lipstick at this current moment is making the dryness worse so when I thought about the moisturising qualities in this lip butter I practically ran to the till counter with it.

| 025 Peach Parfait |
I chose 025 Peach Parfait for a natural look. It added a subtle shimmer to my lips which I actually pleasantly liked and felt so smooth to apply. My lips felt instantly soothed which was an added bonus.
I was disappointed in the amounts of time I had to reapply this product though, more than I usually have to as I felt that the softness of the butter meant that it came off quicker than usual. The colour also faded quickly which wasn't so much of a problem with my natural shade but I can see how it would be a problem if I had chosen a brighter or darker shade.

| Oooooo it shimmers!! |
Overall I LOVE this butter for moisturising and taking care of my lips, and definitely need it for the next few months until the weather gets warmer but if I were to go out I would look for a lipstick that has better colour and stay quality.
It is definitely worth a buy if you need serious loving for dry, painful lips!
The lip butters really suit you. Good Luck with your new blog. I am also a new blogger :)
