New Revlon Lip Butters

When I found out a little while ago that Revlon had brought out 4 new lip butters, I begged some of my friends in the US and Canada to go hunting for them for me :P But they were always sold out and no one could find me any for weeks! One of my friends eventually found 3 of them for me and sent them over. The only colour that I didn't get was pink lemonade as I've seen swatches of it and it's really sheer so I didn't really want it... I actually also didn't really want Sorbet but I'm so happy that I got it as I really love it. I'm a little sad that I left it at my boyfriends house :(

So the ones that I did get are called Juicy Papaya, Sorbet and Wild Watermelon. I've been using them for a little bit and they're pretty much the same as the original ones. The only difference I've noticed is that Juicy Papaya is a little bit "firmer" than the other ones so I can apply it pretty hard onto my lips and it doesn't really smear or smoosh like the other ones do. It's also a little drier and not as moisturising.

Sorbet and Wild Watermelon have the same consistency and texture as the other lip butters (the non-glitter ones). They were really soft and smeared around the edges of the tube when I was applying them a little carelessly. I hope they come out in Australia as I'd definitely repurchase Sorbet when I run out :)

Will you be buying these or are you over lip butters now?

p.s. I know that my lip swatch photos never really look that great. I'm going to start aiming to do full face photos instead for future posts.

Look at what Abby from the Shrinking Wallet got me :)

The postman arrived on my doorstep today which was really weird as it's a Saturday. I'm not complaining though as he brought me a package from Abby (from the Shrinking Wallet). I approached her around the start of November and asked if she would do a Christmas blog swap with me. We were both really organised and ended up mailing out our packages this week.

I'm super happy with what I got. I feel like she did a way better job than I did! She wrapped everything up really nicely.. I wish I did the same!

Present time!

Freaking love everything!

She got me a few things that I already have (we must have the same taste!) but it's ok as I've found uses for everything :)

She got me:

- Face of Australia Barbados nail polish in you blue me away: I already have this but I've never used it so I think I'll keep the bottle from Abby and give mine away to a friend or something.

- Lancome cleanser for face and eyes: I've never tried Lancome cleansers and it's such a cute travel size so I think I'll leave it at my boyfriends house.

- Benefit mini high beam: I already have this but I was saving mine for a giveaway. Super happy that I got it as I actually wanted to try it :P

- MUA blush in shade 2: I have 2 MUA blushes (shades 1 and 4) so I might do a review someday...

- Almay eyeshadow in 205 cocoa: I've never tried Almay before but I've always wanted to. I don't really wear eyeshadow as I'm way too lazy to put it on every morning (I'm also horrible at applying it!). This is a really neutral colour though so I can't go wrong in applying it :)

- Revlon Grow Luscious eyeliner in espresso: I think I have an eyeliner addiction.... If I go to Priceline, I can't stay away from eyeliners.. (and blush.. and lipsticks..) so I put myself on a ban! Thanks for adding to my supply Abby :) I was going into eyeliner-buying-withdrawal :P

- Shu Uemura gloss: This is a bright red lip gloss. I think this might turn into a holy grail! It's such a pretty colour!

- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey: I swear this is fate... I was at Priceline today and I picked up Honey but I made myself put it down as I wanted to wait for a buy one get one free offer. This was the first thing that I opened and I was squealing :P

- Bourjois 3D Gloss: This looks really good! How did Abby know that I love lip products so much?!

- Jemma Kidd Strike a Pose Swivel Palette: This has 4 eyeshadows, 1 cream highlighter, 1 cream blush. The mirror also swivels around and around. I'm in love with this!
