Nivea Lip Butters

As a lip product junkie, there is no way that I would walk pass the newly released Nivea Lip Butters without picking one, or two ;), up. The only review or mention about this product before I purchased one for myself was from Ingrid, or missglamorazzi on YouTube. She really likes them, and because I usually like the products she recommends, I thought I'd give it a go. I got two of the Raspberry Rose Kiss ones because I wasn't a huge fan of the other two flavored ones (they were too sweet for my taste) and the unflavored one is just too pricey for it's function. (As I said, I'm a lip product junkie, I have toooooo much to be going on buying yet another basic lip conditioner.) The reason why I got two of the Raspberry Rose Kiss ones was that it was on sale 2 for $5; one itself was $3.99, so I thought, why not. So I gave that one to my mommy. 

The scent of it is really nice, I really like it. It's fresh, rosey, but not so much the raspberry flavor though. I also really like the consistency of the lip butter. It's stickier than a traditional lip butter, but not as sticky as a lip gloss could be. In terms of conditioning, I do see good results when applying this at night. But I wouldn't say it is extremely moisturizing for my lips. It's an okay lip conditioner. As for color, this looks pale pink in the tin, and I was hoping that it would turn somewhat clear when applied to the lips. No, it doesn't. The only thing that disappointed me was the color. It made my lips a pale pinkish/purple color that did not look attractive at all. This was also the reason why I decided to be more lenient and apply it before I go to sleep. I wouldn't suggest walking out of the house with this on unless you have a dark lip color underneath. I've tried many Nivea lip products before, the ones in a tube, and I much prefer those over the lip butter. It's more sanitizing and it really conditions my lips. From Nivea, I would recommend the Milk & Honey, the Essential Lip Care, as well as the Kiss of Smoothness (with SPF4). When I run out of this tin, I probably wouldn't repurchase unless the formula changed or something. But it did fulfill my curiosity. Overall, I wouldn't say it is an amazing product, but it isn't a bad product either. If you are still curious, then go ahead and get it, but I do recommend keeping track of your receipt.

Revlon Lip Butters

Hi everyone! Here are some of super popular Revlon Lip Butters that I bought today! I got nine different colors/shades altogether and I am completely in love with them already. The color pay-off is fantastic. These are probably one of the most pigmented lip products (that are not lipsticks) I have ever tried. The packaging is pretty much like a regular Revlon lipstick; and texture of the product is really creamy and moisturizing. They do not stay on for a very long time, probably 2-4 hours without eating or drinking. But thats pretty typical for a lip tint. Also, I think these are also limited edition...so if you still want to get your hands on them, you better act quick! I had to go to three different drug stores (Target, CVS, & Walgreens) to get all the colors that I wanted because they are out so quickly! Try get them at CVS & Walgreens first because they usually have a discount for Revlon products (Buy 1 get 1 50% off). Anyways, here are some pictures and swatches of all nine colors that I picked up.

Tinted Lip Balms

Since Halloween month is over, which means that now we're in November and it is WINTER SEASON! I don't really have a favorite season but I do enjoy wearing comfortable sweaters and warm boots. I know that my lips gets chapped really easily, especially during the winter time, and I know that I'm not the only here. Lipsticks can dry out your lips very quickly, and sometimes putting a gloss over it just seems too heavy, well at least for me. So if you are someone like me, I think you'd like my suggestions ;) So how can you make your lips look plump and juicy during the winter seasons? Here I have a couple of tinted lip balms that I love and is typically what I go for not only during the winter and the summer, but also all-year round.

Maybelline Baby Lips ($3.99)

Just a few days ago, I picked up 'Cherry Me' (far left, orange packaging). I'm not sure about the other flavors, but 'Cherry Me' does in fact tastea and smells like cherries! It a red color and it comes off as a subtle red, bringing enough color to my lips but not overdone for a daily look! :) Perfect for the summer!

♥

Fresh Sugar Plum ($22.50)

This might look a bit intimidating at first but I promise it does not come off as dark as it looks like. I find this color perfect for the transition from autumn to winter. What I also like about it is that it contains SPF 15, which protects and conditions your lips while bringing your lips a swipe of color.

Fresh Sugar Rose ($22.50)

For those who prefer a more wearable look, I highly recommend this one. This is my first tinted lip balm that I've purchased and I love it! It also contains SPF 15. This is pretty much my go to lip product during the summer!

♥

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms ($7.00)

Don't even let me start how much I am in love with Burt's Bees' tinted lip balms! I'm obsessed! I always keep one of these, usually 'Tiger Lily', in my purse/bag. It's easy, it's quick, perfect if you're on the go! I know it's quite a small selection of colors, but I think the number of shades is enough. Lighter lips/more natural look: 'Tiger Lily.' Darker lips/more of a evening look: 'Hibiscus.'

♥

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care (22 RMB or $3.50)

Again, although from the stick it looks really opaque, realistically it's quite sheer and I actually really like it this way. Why? Because opaque lip colors are what lipsticks are for, not lip balms. I really like this line because it has a huge color selection that you could choose from. I got these Maybelline tinted lip balms in China. Unfortunately, Mabelline doesn't carry them here in the United States. However, if you are interested and if you could read Chinese, click here for the website.

And that's all!:)
