Revlon Lip Butter Macaroon&Cupcake Review


I recently purchased two Revlon Lip Butters, in the colours Macaroon and Cupcake. There have been many mixed feelings about these products so I swallowed my reservations and bought them, well to be honest I was very excited about getting them after I watched MissGlamorazzi's review on them on youtube, she is one of my favorite youtubers so that really helped make up my mind, also Fleur De Force's blog post on them (another of my favorite youtubers) anyway on to the product reviews, I am reviewing both colours individually on here as each lip butter varies in pigmentation, texture etc. 

Things about both of them:
They have a slightly gel like formulation but I don't mind this at all, it also has a soft texture which feels velvety on the lips, the only problem with the formulation is that when you wind down the lip butters they tend to smoosh a bit at the top. The colour stays on for about half the day if left alone, which is no different really to any other lip product, but you have to replenish it after eating or something similar, but probably not after drinking, depending on the way you drink I guess. Presentation! I nearly forgot to comment on presentation, some people call the presentation outdated with the quilted lid, I think its really cute and I love it, I overall just love love love the packaging I think its gorgeous. 

Macaroon: 

Macaroon is a gorgeous red colour with sparkle in it, it has brilliant colour payoff but to make it slightly more natural and wearable I blot it. I believe this is a new colour, and I am head over heels in love with it. I wear this one slightly less than cupcake simply because I prefer pink colours and natural looks, I love the name of it and I find it really cute. I love this colour however I find it has a slightly less creamier texture than cupcake and the pigmentation is slightly different to cupcake, I would say macaroon is slightly less pigmented. I love this product and the colour pay off is excellent! Product Rating (out of 5 stars- *) I would rate this *****





Cupcake:


Cupcake is another lovely colour, its a light pink colour, but it has less sparkle than Macaroon, but there is a very subtle sparkle to it. I slightly prefer the colour of Cupcake to Macaroon because I love subtle, natural looks and I love pink colours on the lips. On a quick side note don't you love the picture I made above? Haha. Anyway! I also love the name of cupcake it makes me really want cupcakes and it just sounds yummy if that makes sense! The texture of cupcake is slightly more creamy and smoother than Macaroon and I really do mean slightly, you only notice the difference if  you look for it sort of thing. Cupcake is more pigmented but some people may think that's a bad thing and some may think its a good thing, personally I think its a good thing because it means there is a better colour pay off. Macaroon's colour pay off is better than cupcake's though but this is probably just because you notice it more as its a more noticeable colour. Product Rating (out of 5 stars- *) *****
