Revlon Lip Butters New Shades

I was glad to see that Revlon finally brought out new shades of their famous lip butters for this Spring/Summer. I wasn't too big of a fan of the old shades for some reason but these new ones look just amazing. I got Wild Watermelon, Juicy Papaya and Pink Lemonade, and I have to say I love them all pretty much equally. They are all nicely pigmented, but Wild Watermelon has more pigmentation than the other two and it's easy to get an opaque coverage with it. All of the lip butters I got have a balmy, sheen finish and I've noticed they are more moisturizing than the old shades I own (at least they are more moisturizing for me). They last for about two hours before re-applying which is alright, but could be better. I absolutely love the quilted packaging, especially the vivid pink tube of the Wild Watermelon one. Overall, I'm really happy I got them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good lip product. Looks like Revlon is back to being my favourite drugstore brand.
Revlon Lip Butters: £7.99 (each)

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara

I wasn't actually going to try out this mascara, at least not yet. I didn't really like the yellow/green-ish packaging but I have to say I love it now. It's weird but I like the way the brush bit screws back into the tube and does a little click at the end. Anyway, I find the mascara quite good, it doesn't leave clumps when applied carefully/slowly. It makes my eyelashes long and full of volume, and I just love the way it applies to bottom lashes. I never really cared about my bottom lashes that much but after seeing what this mascara did to them and how nicely separated they were, Lash Accelerator Endless is now my go-to for bottom lashes mascara. It's staying power is great as well, the longest I had it on was 14 hours and it stayed put until I took it off before bed. I will definitely re-purchase it once it runs out. However, I think Maybelline's Rocket is a teeny tiny bit better.
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara: £5.99 on offer, but going to be £7.99

Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer 002


Before I started reading blogs and watching YouTube videos I didn't even know a thing like primer existed. Sad, I know. I started using Rimmel's one quite a while ago now and it made my life a whole lot easier. My makeup looks so much better and lasts for ages and ages. It absorbs into the skin really fast so there's no need to wait before applying foundation. It makes my face feel fresh thanks to its smoothness, even after only a couple hours sleep (happens a lot to me, unfortunately). Probably because of it's amazing ingredients such as Vitamin E, Palmaria Palmate Extract or Grape Extract. It's got a floral/soapy smell to it, but I actually like it a lot (not everyone does). It's a clear, not tinted formula, another good thing about the product. I want to try out other primers too, but this one is so good I decided to keep it safe for now. I will definitely re-purchase it, at least until I find something as good or better. Plus it's only £6.99, at least that's what I paid for it.
