First Thoughts on the Revlon Lip Butters!!

So there has been a lot of hype around the Revlon lip butters for a while now since they got released in the US about 8 months ago or something like that. Anyway everyone has been raving about this product on youtube and blogs. The lip butters were released in the UK about 2 months ago and i found these hard to find since everyone went out and bought them. Took me a while to find but i did finally tracked some down and i bought three.

I went onto my local boots and they stocked the lip butters. There were a range of lip butters from brights to nudes and i think they had about 8 shades to choose from. But looking on the boots website, they have 14 shades in total. Anyway i bought 3 lip butters since they were on offer 3 for 2 at boots at that time. The lip butters are all pink shades because i prefer pink to any other colour. The 3 that i have are Sweet Tart, Cotton Candy and Strawberry Shortcake.

First off, i love the packaging, i love the design on the front of it because its a nice and its a fishnet design which makes it more interesting rather than just a plain boring packaging. The packaging seems quite secure and not going to fall apart quickly. It's quite hard to get the packaging away from the lip butter, which is a good thing because it keeps the lip butter secure.

Sweet tart is a quite bright pink and properly the most pigmented out of all 3. Cotton candy is the lightest out of all 3 and this one to me looks like it has a gold sheen going throughout the lip butter. Strawberry shortcake is sort of like Sweet tart but a lot lighter in colour.

I havent really tried them out that much so i cannot give a review but i can say from using the lip butter a few times, they seem moisturising but quite hard to apply evenly. I think that they are ok but not over the moon with them but i think i need to give them a proper workout in order to have a proper review.

First Thoughts On : Opi Divine Swine and Excuse Moi Nail Lacquers

I have never owned a Opi nail Polish or Lacquer in my life and i thought to myself, i have got to try one of their nail lacquers to see what was all the hype about. Opi is a quite expensive nail polish brand and i think they are stated and started in the US and you cannot get Opi in drugstores in the UK like Superdrug or Boots. There has always been a lot of talk and hype about Opi's nail lacquers and i have finally decided and let myself buy two of their nail lacquers.

Both of these nail lacquers are from the muppets collection which was released at christmas 2011, so its still pretty new to their collection of nail lacquers. There is a range of different nail lacquers you can buy in this collection but they are pretty expensive to buy in the first place. I bought these two nail lacquers on ebay and yes they are real ones since i bought them from a proper supplier and checked other people's reviews before purchasing.

The first one i bought is called Excuse Moi (Love the name). I have to say that this one has got glitter and colour to the polish instead of just glitter. This means that you do not have to use as much to get the full effect you want. It is a pink colour with lots of glitter. The glitter comes in a variety of colours such as pinks, reds, blues and greens. Just when you look at the bottle you can see all the different colours of glitter and how pretty this colour really is. I have never had a nail polish like this one and i really cant wait to try it out soon.











The second nail lacquer is called Divine Swine and i think this is one of miss piggy's collection. I have seen quite a lot of videos and reviews about divine swine because some people like it and some people dont, so its a love/hate relationship with this one. Just through the glass bottle i can see that there is silver chunks of glitter with purple glitter in a clear finish. So i know this is not going to be quite a strong colour and would need a lot of product to get the full effect i want. But i am still looking forward to try this product out sometime.











Overall i am quite happy with these two nail lacquers from Opi and i hope they will live up to the hype. Both of these nail lacquers can come in mini's or full sixe. I know the full size is 15ml which is quite a good size for a nail polish. I will keep you posted on the outcome when i finally use them x-x
