Revlon Lip Butter (‘Candy Apple’), £7.99 (currently £5, Superdrug)
I started using these Revlon Lip Butters during time when pretty much every single blogger was hyping it up. Back then I only stuck to the nude or pink pigmented shades, but whilst killing time before I got the bus I decided to treat myself and go a little outside my comfort zone (plus it was on offer!). I’m gonna write more about the pigment than the actual lip butter itself – because I’m sure you’ve seen enough reviews about how creamy and moisturising the formula is!
As someone who doesn’t wear lipsticks/lip balms very often, the colour from the tube is pretty daunting looking. The outer packaging itself has a more burnt orange tone, with the actual stick a more traditional warm toned red. So, you can imagine I was thankful that this was a more sheer than I expected. Top left swatch is the pigment straight on, the right is after a couple of swipes, so if you’re after a balm that gives you a vivid pop of colour this probably isn’t for you. If, however, you’re like me and pretty under-experienced when it comes to wearing red lips then this is a nice starter product to get you on your way.
