Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Red Velvet

Excuse Me...You've Got Some Red Velvet On Your Lips

Oh Revlon lip butter...how I love thee:)  You make my lips so nice and juicy.  Okay enough of my jibber-jabber let's get to the review and pics. 

Like the Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie, I would also describe Red Velvet as a tinted lip balm on steroids.  It leaves a great wash of color on the lips and also moisturizes.  If you are someone who doesn't like a matte red lip or you hate the feel of lipstick this product is for you.  Its gives a great amount of color and also gives the lips a slightly wet look.  It looks as if you are wearing a gloss but without the sticky feeling.  The shade is perfect for fall and the upcoming holiday season.  Its a deep red that I think will suit a variety of skin tones. 

Since this is more of a tinted lip balm it will not leave a strong stain so reapplication is necessary after food or drink.  Its definitely not a long wearing lipstick. It is however perfect for day time use and for a fun night out.  Before applying this I would recommend exfoliating the lips and if you have mature skin try it out at home to make sure there is no bleeding on the lip lines.  You can also try applying lip liner to extend the wear time.  I think everybody's different so you have to learn what works best for you.

Revlon Raspberry Pie ColorBurst Lip Butter

Shiny Berry Lips for Fall
*Purchased

Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie ($7.49 for 0.09 oz.) is a medium dark berry pink with loads of shine.  I would basically describe this as a tinted balm on steroids.  This stuff packs a punch.  Its super pigmented and the color pay off is better than any other tinted balm I've ever used.  When I tested this out, I was suffering from severe dry lips and I'm happy to say that this stuff is really moisturising.  I definitely saw my lips increase in volume due to the moisture from the lip butter.

I would still suggest exfoliating before wearing this and if you have mature lips I recommend using a lip liner to prevent feathering.  I have rather small lips and I did find it kind of tedious to apply because of the oval lipstick shape.  I guess I'm just one of those girls who likes the tradition pointed lipstick bullet.  This is definitely one of those lipsticks you need to apply with a mirror or else you could end up with a clown face.  Since this is a highly pigmented balm and it glides very easily on the lips, the wear time will be shorter.  Its not a long lasting lip color.   The end result is a very shiny lip so if your looking for matte berry stain, I would not suggest this particular product.  If glossy plumped up lips is your goal then this is your lipbutter:)  

I was searching around in my makeup bag and I think I found a decent lip pencil match:  NYX Lipliner Pencil in 836 BLOOM.

Sally Hansen Full & Radiant Lip Definer

Plump Pucker :o) A Makeup Bag Must...

Sally Hansen Full & Radiant Lip Definer, 0.10oz
 

Sally Hansen's Full & Radiant Lip Definer (0.10oz) is a must in my makeup bag.  Its one of my favorite lip primers I use before applying lipstick.  This stuff makes your lips plump up and look oh so smooth.  It's got a soft pearlescent sheen to it that brightens and helps to create a youthful radiant glow to lips. 

The scent is not super overwhelming which I love.  Some days I wake up and my lips look thin because they are dehydrated so I pop this baby on and wait about 10mins or do my foundation and by the time I'm done my lips are looking nice and fuller.  Oh and also...there's no stinging sensation which some lip plumpers tend to have:)

I highly recommend this product for women with mature lips because it also helps smooth lines and help with lip definition.  According to Sally Hansen it contains a collagen enhancing complex, soy proteins & vitamins A,C, E. 



I love how it comes in a regular lipstick tube because you can put it on with such ease you don't even need a mirror and there's no mess on your fingers which can sometimes happen with other balms. Overall its a great item to have around in your makeup bag.
