Revlon Lip Butter

Revlon Lip Butters are already proving to be a big hit in stores, and after the disappointment at the Popsticks from Maybelline these were a pleasure to review.

"94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated, hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156% "

Available in a huge selection of 20 shades, there will be something for everyone....

Tutti Frutti – A beautiful coral shade that’s perfect for spring.

Cupcake – A light pink with a blue-base.

Cotton Candy – A very pale pink with a hint of gold.

Gumdrop – A lilac shade with a slight shimmer.

Berry Smoothie – A medium pink with hints of purple – very wearable.

Cherry Tart – A sheer red, perfect for those days you want to be a little daring.

Lollipop – A bold fuchsia shade

Strawberry Shortcake – A medium-toned pink – very wearable.

Creme Brulee – A light tan shade.

Peach Parfait – A peach shade with a little hint of gold.

Pink Truffle – A browned rose shade.

Red Velvet – A smooth brick red.

Sugar Plum – Similar to Berry Smoothie, but more of a plum shade.

Creamsicle – A very pale, creamy tan shade.

Brown Sugar – A soft pinkish brown.

Fig Jam – A rich dark brown.

Sugar Frosting – Pale, beige-y pink with shimmer.

Candy Apple – A bright red with hints of orange.

Raspberry Pie – An opaque magenta colour.

The packaging is really girlie, and I love a nicely packaged product!

Of the shades I have 2 faves, Sugar Frosting...

Sugar Frosting is a beautiful nude shade with a hint of pink shimmer through it, perfect for day to day wear.

And Lollipop...

A true Barbie-esque bold pink!

I love this shade, more for nights out, but I will definitely be wearing this with a tan :)

The Lip Butters combine the moisturising properties of a lip balm, yet provide colour like a lipstick, so these are perfect fpr girls who like a bit of both, in one easy stick.
The packaging is amazing and they feel really luxurious, well worth the money.

Currently on special offer in Boots at £5.99 instead of £7.99.

Have you treated yourself to a Lip Butter yet?

Maybelline Colour Sensational Popsticks

Brand new from Maybelline are these Popsticks.....

"Transclucent Popstick Tint From Our High-Clarity, Liquid Pigments.

Slicker Shine From Our Crystal Clear Stick.

In 5 Mouthwatering Shades"

I wanted to post about them for you as I always seem to have good things to say about things I review, for me these are a total waste of money!

Despite the heavily pigmented sticks each shade is nothing but a nice smelling lip gloss, and they all come out clear on the lips! 

Despite Maybelline hyping them up I am sorry to say that these are very disappointing, they smell good, look good and come beautifully packaged but they just don't do the job, and priced at a whopping £7+ each, for a glorified lip gloss basically,  its just a waste of your pennies.

Let me know if you have tried any of the Popsticks, I would love to know what you think!

Skin Doctors™

I was very kindly sent a couple of products to try out as a lot of you have been getting in contact regarding hair removal and skin care with summer fast approaching!

For those of you who haven't heard of Skin Doctors before they are a high quality company who bridge the gap between cosmetic procedures and surgical cosmetic procedures, at an affordable price.

The first product I reviewed was the Ingrow Go

I have a wax done every month regular as clockwork, and especially at this time of year I suffer with red bumps on the skin and ingrowing hairs.

I have been trialling this over the last few weeks and applying it several days before my wax, to ensure any little hairs under the skins surface are lifted and removed when my wax is done.

Ive been applying it to my bikini area simply by popping a small amount onto a cotton pad and wiping over the skin for the last few weeks & it has made such a difference to my skin, having a huge reduction on the amount of ingrowing hairs & also keeping the area looking smooth and clear.

The Ingrow Stop can be used on underarms, legs, bikini area, anywhere you remove hair from, to prevent ingrowing hairs, which we all know are unsightly especially at this time of year when we are bearing more and more skin.

The Ingrow Stop solution is priced at just £12.20 for a 120ml bottle, and for the amount you use each time it will last you for months and months!

The second product I reviewed was the Hair No More

The Hair No More System is an amazing 2 step hair removal system, which is a pain free hair removal system that simply melts away unwanted body hair in just minutes, and really moisturises the skin in the process.

The kit consists of 2 tubes of hair removal cream, an inhibitor spray which prevents hair growth & a blade less razor for easy pain free removal.

I took pictures at the different stages of application to show you how easy it is to use...



So I simply used the curved edge of the blade less razor to apply an even, thick, layer of cream covering all the hair that needed to be removed...

After leaving the cream on for 4 minutes I used the blade less razor to remove the cream using gentle upward strokes...



After I removed all the cream I was left with baby smooth legs, which 2 weeks on and combined with use of the Inhibitor spray the hairs are growing back so much softer & sparser than before.

I have used hair removal creams in the past and there is no getting away from the usual smell, however the Skin Doctors cream has a very clean and fresh smell to it which made it a real pleasure to use.

The amazing Hair No More System is available for just £17.30 & is superb value for money as you will get so many uses from it.

Overall I am so impressed with the quality and value for money that the Skin Doctors products offer in comparison to those available on the high street, and the fact that they offer a higher strength products at an affordable price really sets them apart from other brands.

Happy hair removing!

LAQA & CO Lip Pencil

LAQA & CO are a US brand of cosmetics, new to the UK and you can now get your hands on them via Cocktail Cosmetics

The creators at LAQA & CO support young artists by commissioning new original artwork for the packaging, and I love a nicely packaged product!

The packaging for the Lip Pencil I reviewed was designed by Hazell Nichols, and I love the caption on the box..

"She Who Cares Wins"

I was very kindly sent one of the gorgeous Lip Pencils to review.

Lip Pencils are a combination of lip balm/gloss & lipstickck , giving you a lovely glossy colour without feeling to heavy on the lips.

The colour I received to review was Fairyblood, and its a gorgeous peachy colour with a gentle hint of shimmer running through it, perfect with a tan and for the (hopefully) upcoming summer months. It gives a lovely shimmer and hint of colour whilst still looking quite natural.

What I really love about this Lip Pencil is the buttery texture, that simply glides onto your lips, without leaving them sticky or greasy.

The design of the Lip Pencil is fantastic, it feels really chunky & nice to hold and use, and the best thing is it never needs sharpening as you simply twist the base when you need more.

I am wearing my LAQA & CO Lip Pencil today....What do you think?

These pictures show the colour in the shade...

And these pictures are showing you the colour in natural light...

You can get your hands on the entire LAQA & CO range on line from Cocktail Cosmetics
