Revlon Lip Butters

Hihi~ feeling kinda bored so I figured why not talk about my favourite lip product of all time. 

I absolutely love love love the Revlon Lip Butters. There is absolutely NOTHING I dislike about them. They just wear so comfortably on the lips and like omg I just love them. They are not intense like lip sticks obviously but the colour payoff is just nice for me. I only have 4 colours but I'm planning to get more of course. I've had my first one for about a year now and it's still as good like it didn't turn bad or anything.
The smell is nice too. I don't really know how to describe the scent but it's kinda and light. It doesn't have any taste tho. ( plus point in my opinion!)
The lip butters also wear nicely. Meaning they don't leave the white residue on your lips that some glosses do. If I use a lip balm under these the colour will be sheerer and if I just go straight on my lips it will be slighter more intense but still not as strong as a lipstick. They have a nice sheen and are not too glossy or sticky.
Good for people who are just starting out with lip products! This was the first 'lipstick/lip butter' I ever used.

Watson's is currently having a promotion now if I'm not wrong and they are only 9.90SGD each?!?!! Must hurry buy HAHA

Candy Apple

A nice sheer red with no shimmer. I don't think they have this shade in Singapore tho :( Cherry Tart would be the closest to this but that has shimmer.

Tutti Frutti

The first one I purchased and never in my life would I have thought I could wear an orange lip but this is like a sheer tint of orange and it's so flattering!!

Juicy Papaya

Also not sure if this shade is in Singapore yet but it's like a creamy peachy pink colour. Love. It's a little broken HAHA

Berry Smoothie

I literally just purchased this a few days ago. Its the only one out of the 4 I have that has shimmer. But it doesn't seem to show up on my lips. The shimmer was what made me so hesitant to buy it in the first place. It's a nice sheer berry pink.

*one thing I've noticed is that the 2 I got from the states have melted a little. It's nothing serious but you can see the the consistency is a little different somehow. Like as if they ones I bought locally are 'harder'. I'm not sure if it's because of the weather there and here or whether they're formulated differently or what. They're still very useable and they don't wear differently. Its just that they seem to be creamier.

November Favourites

I am so sorry for this super delayed post. Have been rather busy lately and haven't really had the time to sit here and blog ☹

Hope everyone's doing great ☺

I shall share my October + November favourites today since I'm home chilling (FINALLY)

I didn't really use much make up in October because I was busy rushing through projects and studying for exams. But I used more make up during November because I've been going out quite a lot. 

Most of my September favourites have been brought forward till now so I will not mention them. This post will be 'new' favourites ☺ 

Favourite #1: URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER MAKE UP SETTING SPRAY 

This is the first ever make up setting spray I have ever used and I really really love it. I don't really know why I love it so much but I really do. I bought the small bottle because I was scared to commit to the huge one and plus it's like half the price so it wasn't that bad ☺

I paid about $20 for this bottle if I'm not wrong. I've stopped using powder to set my make up ever since I bought this and I think it does a good job at setting my make up ( cause powder can sometimes be very unnatural) I do still use powder sometimes but only when it's a super sunny day and I know my skin is gonna be oily as hell. But other than that, this is all I've been using! 

Super love!

I use it OVER my make up. Haven't really tired using it under AND over. 

I'm not 100% sure that I would repurchase though. Let's just see when I finish the bottle ☺ 

But for now, it's definitely staying in my make up routine!

Favourite #2: BENEFIT THE POREFESSIONAL 

I usually don't use a primer under my foundation as well. I have heard a lot of things about this product and one of my favourite beauty youtubers is SUPER in love with this so I decided to give it a try! ( It came in the Benefit Little Love Potion Gift Set I got at Sephora when I was out shopping with Flo. If you want me to do a post on the set just let me know! ☺)

Anyways, I really really love this primer. I makes me foundation go on so much smoother especially around my nose and cheeks. I have really large pores in these areas and they are really quite hard to cover up. I really really love this product and I would total repurchase the full size!!!

Favourite #3: BEAUTY BLENDER

I have been hesitated buying this because I found it ridiculous spending like 30 bucks on a sponge. Like who would even do that?! But I was thinking there had to be something that made this so popular among beauty gurus and make up artists so I decided to get it when I was feeling rich one day. 

THIS. SPONGE. IS. AMAZING. 

I used to apply my foundation with my fingers because I like the way it melts and blends the foundation into my skin. ( My friends always say they don't even know I'm wearing foundation cause its so light it's practically useless HAHA) 

Okay back to the BB, this sponge makes my make up so flawless it's not even funny. I use it with the Chanel Perfection Lumiere and my Shiseido Sun Protect Liquid Foundation ( Read about my foundation reviews here) 

I think this sponge is definitely worth the 30 bucks and I am planning to buy another one soon cause I feel like it may accumulate dirty cause after all its a sponge! ( personal paranoia)

Favourite #4: BENEFIT THEYRE REAL! MASCARA

I am a fan of natural looking lashes. I am really grateful that I have been blessed with fairly thick and long lashes. ( Long and thick enough for me) I only started using mascara recently and I am really really fussy with mascara. I HATE clumpy and unnatural looking lashes. Which was why I hated the Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara the first time I tried it! ( Read about it here. )

This mascara is very natural looking and Flo always says she can't even tell I'm wearing any. I really love this BUT IT IS NOT WATERPROOF. That's the only downside sigh. I have mentioned before that I have oily eye lids. I don't use this on my bottom lashes because it will smudge after awhile. It's alright for the top though ☺

Will repurchase the full size when I finish the small bottle ( I bought the small cause I was scared to commit. It's only $16 at Sephora!)

Favourite #5: REVLON LIP BUTTER IN TUTTI FRUITTI 

I'm not one to wear lip products. I've always just stuck to plain uncolored lip balms but I decided to come out of my comfort zone. I've always wanted to try the Revlon Lip Butters ever since it came out in the US & UK. I waited for it to come to Singapore and when it finally did I decided to not buy it cause I was scared it would melt in the tube cause of the weather here. ( Personal Paranoia again) 

I finally decided to give it a chance and I bought the only orange shade available in Singapore. This was a big thing for me because like I said, I don't use any lip products and even if I do, I would use something that's similar to my natural lip colour. So anyways, I went to the restroom after buying it and tried it on. I FELL IN LOVE. I'm not even kidding. I went mental. It was like love at first use. I've been using it every time I wear make up and I really really really love it. It's super moisturizing and it doesn't make your lips have the white residue at the corners. Yknow how some lip balms/ glosses do that? Especially when you talk a lot like me. HAHA 

Really really love this and I would definitely repurchase this in the same colour when it finishes. I might even try other colours ☺

SUPER LOVE

 Favourite #6: ST IVES BOLY LOTION 

This scent is quite hard to find and my mother and I finally found it at the Guardian at Bedok Interchange. She bought this a few months ago to try and I stole it from her >:) I don't usually use body lotions because it will usually leave that irritating sticky/slimey feeling on my legs which I HATE. This does not at all. I actually finished the WHOLE TUBE. I have never finished any body lotion ever and omg this was the first ever. I just stocked up on a few tubes because I love it that much and it's only $2 for this tube ☺

If you're horrible like me and don't use body lotions you should give this a try. It smells damn clean and nice I really really love it. It doesn't make your skin feel greasy AT ALL and omg I just really love it. I would keep repurchasing this till I die. 

SUPER SUPER LOVE

Favourite #7: VICHY NORMADERM TRI-ACTIV MOISTURISER

I hate using moisturizer because I used to have oily skin and I always felt like it made me even oilier. However, I have learnt that even though you have oily/ combination skin, moisturizer is a skincare step that should never be skipped so I decided to get this after my friend, Illi, told me about it. This smells super nice and it makes your skin soft and kinda matte. It doesn't make your skin feel like super moisturized and gross it just provides the skin with enough moisture ( To me). I use this everyday under my make up and it doesn't make my make up any oilier. 

If my skin is super dry and peeling ( from spot treatments) I won't use this though because the ingredients can sometimes sting my face. I would use something like the Cetaphil moisturizer over those areas ☺

Would repurchase unless I find a better moisturizer. 

Like I said, I've just recently started using moisturizer religiously so I haven't tried many ☺

Those were the products I have been loving for the past 2 months and I hope you enjoyed reading this! ☺

Please know that everyone's skin is different and what works for my skin may not work for yours but if you're adventurous I would totally recommend all these 7 products I've mentioned today because I really really love them!

Off to do another post for the new few days so see you in a few days!

Lots of love,
