Revlon Lip Butter in Cotton Candy - Review

(apologies for the blurriness, I only have this one photo)

Revlon Lip Butter £7.99

I dislike this phrase but here goes anyway; 'sorry I'm not sorry' for posting 8 pictures of the same thing! I photographed the two lip butters together but then realised I had already blogged about Peach Parfait back in February so I photographed Cotton Candy on its own. I didn't want to disregard the photos completely because I thought the products looked beautiful together and decided to include them anyway.

As I have already reviewed Peach Parfait, I will just be focusing on Cotton Candy in this review. As with all the shades, Cotton Candy is beautifully packaged in a quilted design which matches the shade of the lip butter. This gives the high street product a luxurious feel and is also practical, allowing you to easily select the shade you're after. 

Cotton Candy is a warm toned pale pink, which is my perfect everyday lip shade. It has tiny gold particles of glitter, but this isn't as obvious as Peach Parfait and I barely notice them on my lips. As with all the shades in the range, Cotton Candy is moisturising and glides onto the lips smoothly. It's so easy to reapply on the go without the need of a mirror. 

In essence, this is a posh lip balm with a little bit more pigmentation. The RRP is £7.99 but there are often deals on in stores like Boots or Superdrug. I think it was two for £10 when I purchased Cotton Candy and repurchased Peach Parfait. I'm pretty sure Boots currently have their amazing 3 for 2 offer on! What are you waiting for? Three lip butters for the price of two! Amazing!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait - Review

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait £7.99

I have had this for a few months now and I absolutely adore it. I often reach for it over lip balms as it's super moisturising and leaves a beautiful colour. The Revlon Lip Butters are a hybrid lipstick/lip balm and combines the positives from both into one super product. They are a great alternative to lipstick if you prefer something a bit lighter than lipstick on a day to day basis. The shade is peachy pink which actually looks fairly nude on my lips. With one or two coats it's fairly sheer but can be built up for a more opaque look, suitable for evening wear. It contains tiny particles of gold glitter, which usually I hate in a lip product, but I have been absolutely loving this shade. As it's moisturising it's glides on smoothly. However, I have read several reviews which claim this shade doesn't glide as smoothly as others due to the glitter particles. I cannot comment on this as I only have the one shade. I definitely want to try others out but at the moment I don't need them and I'm trying not to spend money that I don't need to. I love the packaging. They come in a quilted package which matches the colour of the lip butter, which is a god send when deciding which shade of lipstick to choose. I would say the colour lasts about two hours before it needs reapplying, this isn't a problem as I think of it as a lip balm. It's difficult to describe the scent, I can smell that horrible lipstick smell but with a hint of vanilla, which makes it more bearable. I will definitely be repurchasing this product but maybe in a different shade so I can try out the other shades that Rimmel have to offer.

Do you own any Revlon Lip Butters? What do you think of the formula?
