Of Life and Lacquer

I just had to jump on the Revlon Lip Butter bandwagon. I had heard so much about these lip butters–all of it positive. Plus, have you seen those ads with Emma Stone? Gorgeous! Anyway, I saw that Ulta was having a BOGO 50% off sale on Revlon products so I was tempted. Then I got the Ulta flyer in the mail with a $3.50 off coupon on a purchase of $10.00 or more, and I was out the door!

I only purchased two colors because I wanted to try them out first. I picked two colors: Lollipop and Fig Jam. There were a couple more that I wanted but they were sold out. I was excited about these being creamy and hydrating because I have really dry and chapped lips. I use Jack Black lip balm every single day especially when I go to sleep. There is no better hydrating balm than Jack Black.

My first impression is that the packaging is really cute…but then I try to open it. I hate that it’s so hard to pull up the cap. There is so little of the black base to hold on to that I quickly become annoyed by it. Once I open it up, I  really like the colors. Lollipop is a color that I don’t usually wear but I have a few lipsticks like NARS Funny Face that I wear when I want a bold color. Fig Jam is really a color that I can wear every day…and I usually do. It looks gorgeous.

I am definitely liking Fig Jam more than Lollipop. They are both extremely smooth and feel very hydrating on my lips. So far, I’m liking them a lot! I’ll have to wear them a little longer and see what the staying power is like. I am glad I picked these up and do think they are worth all the hype.
