All About Lips

I am reviewing two products: Rosebud Salve lip balm and Color Whisper lipstick

Rosebud Salve

The gift that I received comes in a pack of three in a tin can. The one that I have given a chance to try was the minted rose. It reminds of EOS, where you just open it up and start smearing it on your lips, except  rosebud salve is more hydrating.

You can get these at urban outfitter. Its 2 for $12 for one lip balm. This was given to me by a friend so I'm not too sure how much the whole would cost.

 

The next product I have is the Color whisper by Maybelline. I got the made-it mauve which is a very pretty dark red-ish pink color. Its great to wear on a daily basis or even on a nice day out. Did I mention that it is very hydrating.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

1. I have very dry lips

2. Dry enough that it gets chapped and peeled. eww.

3. I have to put on lip balm occasionally 

4. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter is awesome! Although I tend to put on lip balm before the lip butter just to keep the moisture on my lips last longer

I recently bought two colors from the Revlon ColorBurst Lip butter collection after hearing positive feedback about it. So yes, I gave in and bought one. The first one that I bought was Sugar Frosting, just because I like to play it safe. I tend to avoid bold colors like red and hot pink. I like a more natural kind of look. I don't wear alot of make-up so this is the perfect lipstick for me. Sugar Frosting is a very sheer lip color. Its like a lip balm with shimmer.

After trying the Sugar Frosting, I decided that I should slowly invest in this collection. I bought Strawberry Shortcake. It's a more barbie like type of pink color on the lips. However, I have a medium skin tone, which makes the pink perfect on my lips. If you have much fairer skin, the Strawberry Shortcake will be like a pastel pink, much like a Malibu Barbie. 

If you haven't tried this collection, I highly recommended it. It's like a lipstick with hydration, keeping my lips moist and luscious. And believe me, my lips are dry all the time. If you have dry lips like mines, I say go try out one yourself and let me know how it goes. It cost ~ $8.00 at your local drugstore. Happy Shopping :) 

As said above, my skin is a medium tone.

The overall packaging. You can see that the fading sticker on the
Sugar Frosting indicates that I had it for a pretty long time.
