A couple of weeks ago, I heard about the Revlon Lip Butters. I'm not even sure where I heard about them...probably via Youtube. Anyways, since as you know I'm not the biggest fan of wearing lipsticks my interest was piqued because they way these lip butters were being pegged as, they were a hybrid between a lip balm, gloss and a lip stick. The texture of a balm, the pigmentation of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss. After these couple of weeks of looking at Ulta and getting a few as gifts, I ended up with 5 of them.
The five colors I picked up are Raspberry Pie, Cotton Candy, Cherry Tart, Lollipop, & Strawberry Shortcake . The colors make your lips appear plump and glossy. The formula isn't too sticky or matte either. The darker colors have much more pigmentation then the lighter colors. Cherry Tart is a favorite of mine. It's a nice medium red but isn't super bright or red red which I know scares some people when wearing red on their lips. It's much more muted and makes me feel a lot more comfortable when wearing some color on my lips. It feels very comfortable to just throw it on. I've read others saying that there is chunky glittery or a gritty feeling. I did not get any of those experiences. :]
Don't get me wrong...this won't heal chapped lips like carmex will, or won't late 43848930 hours like
L'Oreals Infallible Lip color, but it's a great alternative to wearing chapstick and lipstick.
The packaging is so cute! It's very sleek and classy. I like being able to see into the tube to give me an idea of what color I am purchasing.
The price I think though, could have went down a couple bucks. I think they're about $8 and honestly that's way too much. Even $6.99 could of been more reasonable.
Pros: Moisturizing, cute packaging, pigmented, don't need gloss
Cons: a bit pricey.
Without further adieu....SWATCHES!
Have a wonderful holiday season,

Revlon ColorStay Foundation VS. MAC Studio Fix Fluid
REVLON COLORSTAY VS. MAC STUDIO FIX FLUID
VS.
Today’s versus will be putting drugstore brand Revlon’s ColorStay foundation against MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid foundation. This blog will be a short, to the point version because I know a million other people have pitted these two foundations against each other and have their own opinion about them. As always…this is just my opinion on MY experience with each product. Everyone’s skin is different from color, to texture, to coverage needed ,to sensitivity so your skin might decide hell that it doesn’t like either formula from either brand. Anyhoo..these are my reviews/results!
Amount:
Revlon Foundation- 1 fl oz.
MAC Foundation-1 fl oz.
Price:
Revlon Foundation- (approx)$10.99
MAC Foundation- $26.50
How available:
Revlon Foundation-EASILY available since it’s found at almost every drugstore.
MAC Foundation- Almost as easily found because most people have a Macy’s/MAC store close to them..but not everyone!
Coverage:
Revlon Foundation- About Evenly matched
MAC Foundation- About Evenly matched
Application:
Revlon Foundation- Does NOT apply well with a brush. Fingers necessary. Dries WAY too fast. Takes a bit more effort to blend well. Does not come with a pump.
MAC Foundation- Applies evenly and easily with a brush. Doesn’t dry too fast but doesn’t come with a pump.
Overall
REVLON ColorStay Foundation:
PROS- reasonably priced, easily attained by almost anyone and is a great starter foundation
CONS-takes some effort to blend it, dries too easily, no pump.
MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation:
PROS- blends easily, almost with no effort, and is readily available.
CONS-a bit pricey, no pump.
Don’t get me wrong, Revlon ColorStay is a great starter foundation for those who want a bit more coverage and are serious about makeup but MAC just takes the cake on this one guys. It blends evenly and effortlessly, and can be found pretty easily at any MAC retailer. I’d say MAC WINS!
By the way, if anyone is curious, in Revlon ColorStay my color is “Medium Beige” and in MAC Studio Fix Fluid I’m an NW22.
Thanks for reading guys.
