RECENTLY FAVOURITE: LIP BALM

I'm not always obsessed with lip balms, sometimes I can even survive days without using one. But lately the obsession came back and now I can't stand an hour without using a lip balm. I always have at least one somewhere in my bag or pocket.

Lip balms I've been loving the most lately are the Nivea lip balms. My all time favourites are Classic and Soft Rose. The Classic one (or Essential Care) contains Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter which prevent moisture loss and leave lips smooth and soft. The Soft Rose doesn't contain the Shea Butter but it has a little bit of shimmer in it and a very light, sheer pink shade. I really use them a lot, I use them before going to bed, I use them right after waking up and many many times more throughout the day. They are so moisturising! I have to say the Classic one is more moisturising than the Soft Rose but on the other hand Soft Rose feels better on lips. I also really like using these lip balms under lipsticks as it makes them look more sheer. And as I don't really good look in bold lipstick, it totally works for me. 

Lately I can see Nives'a Lip Butters almost everywhere and since I love Nivea's products I really want to give them a go. They also have great scents (or tastes if you intend to eat them): Raspberry Rose, Vanilla & Macadamia and Caramel. I think I'm totally gonna go for Vanilla & Macadamia!

Have you tried Nivea's lip balms or lip butters? What do you think?

MY THOUGHTS ON: REVLON COLORBURST LIP BUTTER

I bought this Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter about three weeks ago so I guess it's time to tell you what I think about it. The one I bought is in colour called Wild Watermelon (number 063). I knew there were lots of shades of this lipstick before I went to the drugstore but when I was there I just had almost nothing to choose from (maybe because they were on sale) and that's why I decided to choose the best one there and went for Wild Watermelon. It is a coral or pink red with a luminous finish, I would even say it's a little bit raspberry. 

At first I didn't really know how to use it, I know it might sound a little bit ridiculous, but that's what happened. When I applied it on my lips it looked kind of uneven an made my lips look smaller. But I found a solution! I'm using it over a lip balm and I apply one layer only (maybe two when I my lips have a good day), it makes my lips look smooth and the colour is more sheer which I think suits me more. What's also great about Revlon lip butter is that it's very moisturising (it feels almost like a lip balm) and it has a nice shine. I love the fact that it has no shimmer in it because I hate shimmery lipsticks. I also really love the packaging even though it's pretty hard to open. It lasts for about 3 hours, but only if you're not eating or drinking anything, because when you do it it fades away almost completely. 

I don't know if it's the formula or the fact that I chose the most pigmented one of this line but I am not 100% happy with it. I think I will be giving this lip butter idea another chance though! I think either Juicy Papaya or Tutti-Frutti will be my next choice!
