On My Lips: Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet

Hey all, 

I have already posted about my favourite lip butter, Berry Smoothie, and that post has more of a review.  You can read it here if you want more information, as this post will just be brief. I just had to share another lip butter love with you though - I can't help myself. Although it hasn't quite knocked Berry Smoothie off its pedestal, it is close. And of course, it's red! 

You all know that I am determined to own as many red lipsticks as possible! 

Shade 

A gorgeous, deeper red. Blue-based, but very flattering. 

Finish

Typical Lip Butter standard. Creamy and moisturising, as well as being highly pigmented. 

Where to Buy: Priceline, and wherever Revlon is stocked. 

Price: $21.95

It is such a gorgeous, deeper red and is definitely very wearable. Not as scary as some lipstick's, as it isn't overly bright. It is also a lot easier to apply evenly! If you want a toned down red lipstick, this one is definitely for you! 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

On My Lips: Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie

Hey all,

Yes, I have jumped on the bandwagon and purchased some of the well acclaimed Revlon Lip Butters. But before I start with the review, I have a bit of ranting to do. 

The prices us Australian girls get charged for products is insane and personally I think it is completely unjustifiable. The lip butters are a perfect example; how we can get charged $21.95 for something that is $8 in the U.S is completely beyond me. Because of price gaps exactly like this, products that are affordable (and quite often loved for that reason) for our fellow beauty lovers overseas are not as easily accessible for Australian ladies. 

What are your thoughts? Does anyone know the 'reason' behind the price gap?

Okay, rant done - on to the review. 

Revlon Lip Butters are a famous new-ish product that are a wonderful combination of a lip balm/gloss and a lipstick; they provide moisture as well as colour. I have picked up four lip butters so far, but Berry Smoothie is definitely my favourite shade. For me, it's a perfect 'my lips, but better' shade. 

What I Love 

- Gorgeous colour- natural and universally flattering. 

- Great pigmentation for the product type. 

- Very moisturising and feels great on the lips. 

- Relatively long lasting. 

- Gorgeous packaging. 

What I Don't 

- The ridiculous price difference between the US and Australia. 

Where to Buy: Priceline, Selected Pharmacies and wherever Revlon is sold. 

Price: $21.95

They are lovely lip products and they do exactly what everyone and his dog/cat/bird/ant? (who hasn't been talking about them?!) claim. I am just not convinced they are worth the larger Australian price-tag. 

What do you think? 

If  I purchase more, I think I will grab them off eBay from the US - at a much lower price. 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

I love that you can see the colour from the top of the packaging.
