Review // Revlon Lip Butters in Peach Parfait & Berry Smoothie

I know that there are tons of reviews on these products but since I got these for Christmas (which now seems like aeons away), I thought I'd show them anyway (:

I received two - Peach Parfait and Berry Smoothie.

Packaging

A normal lip product tube that twists up with a plastic, quilted embossed casing that I think is actually quite nice. The casing are different coloured depending on the shade which is good to tell them apart. The lid clicks when you put it over the tube which is good because then you know that it's sturdy and won't fall off whilst in your bag!

Formula

These are described as 'lip butters' and to me, they are like tinted lip balms, although not quite as moisturizing. It's very easy and smooth to apply as it's quite creamy which means no tugging - almost like butter, except without the oily-ness :P Both shades are quite sheer (the swatches above consists of about 3 to 4 swipes) but this also means that it's great to apply on the go when you don't have a mirror and it's also buildable to your desire - perfect for casual daytimes. The wear time for these are about 2 hours - which is not bad for a balm like product - until there's need to reapply.

Berry Smoothie

This shade is my favourite out of the two! It's also more pigmented than Peach Parfait. There are no sparkles or shimmer in this one, and the shade isn't as bold as it looks in the tube. A berry colour (ever so slightly darker than it looks on the picture).This is definitely a my lips but better kind of shade as it gives it a tad more colour and makes it a little glossy. Noticeable, but subtle.

Peach Parfait

On the swatch it looks like a peachy shade but honestly, it's so sheer that the peachy-ness doesn't show. Instead, what you do get is glossier lips with hints of gold shimmer (as you can see from the tube). Not so keen on this one as I'm not a huge fan of making my lips shimmer up close, but it's still nice when I'm feeling lazy and want something simple and easy.

Just in case some of you still think I'm sane...

Final Verdict

I'm loving the formulas of these as they're smooth, creamy and semi-moisturizing. The shades are sheer which for me, isn't a problem because it's great for natural everyday looks. I'd highly recommend Berry Smoothie to everyone and Peach Parfait only if you don't mind shimmer...All in all, a great product and I really want to get Candy Apple next!

Oh and, be careful not to put them in extreme heat because they melt relatively easily and it gets all over the side of the tube which is not good....

Have you tried Revlon lip butters? If so, which is your favourite shade; if not, would youuuu?

June: Top 10 Wishlist

Since it's almost the start of June, I've decided to make a wishlist for this month. Out of my never ending list of things that I lust... here's my Top 10:
1. Bralet/Cropped Bustier:  I don't own one, but I've been seeing it around a lot lately & I think that this is a super versatile piece that can go with anything and is perfect for summer! I'll be doing a 'Trend Report' on this item soon! (: 2. Black Wedges:  Ever since I've grown out of my only pair of black kitten heels, I've been wanting to get another pair! Black shoes can instantly perk up an outfit and get be worn for either formal or dressy occasions. AND it goes with relatively anything. I opt or wedges just because it'll be more comfortable :P 3. Brown Faux Leather Stud Bag:  Been looking for a bag like this since forever! It's a perfect bag to bring when you're out casually and don't want to bring a huge bag with you. It's small yet stylish. & I love the studded embellishments too! 4. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer:  Almost every review I've read raved on about this so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too ;) Firstly, I love the name - Apocalypse = Apocalips - because it's a play on words & I'm a word nerd :D Right now, I'm loving the shades Celestial, Big Bang and Galaxy
5. Bath & Body Works Scented Candles:   I've heard about scented candles, but never actually got to smell one... & I really want to! Bath & Body Works have a HUGE range of scented candles to suit all types! Wouldn't it be great to have your room smell like your favourite scent the whole time? Mine's vanilla - what's yours? (:
6. Denim Vest Jean Jacket:   Different from the normal denim jacket but I think this would be a great layering piece over anything... and would be great if you do not wish to show too much skin or want a more edgy vibe (: Want. Want. Want.
7. Oxfords:  No idea why they're called oxfords... but whenever I see these types of shoes, it screams girly yet preppy. Could be a more girly and casual alternative to the standard sneakers & it's quite vintage looking too! I would go for the neutral brown as it makes pairing easier (: But I haven't found a pair that I absolutely loved yet! 8. Knit Jumper:  Living in a tropical country, I really do not need jumpers :P But I just love how cozy and warm they are and can be great for lazing around at home or when you're out shopping at an air-con filled mall as they're not TOO thick (:
9. Hi-Low Skirt:   Another 'on-trend' item. I love these kind of skirts as they're a cross between mini skirts and maxi skirts... you get the best of both worlds! They're also super girly, carefree and unique! However, as I am super short, I can't seem to find one of a good length that flatters me D:
10. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain:  A hyped product which I would love to try as I use lip balms and stains on a daily basis so this could be perfect! I'm loving the shades in Romantic, Rendezvous and Cherish

So those are the Top 10 items that I'm lusting for this month! What's yours?
