Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart Review + Swatch

I'm back again! Today's featured product is the Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart. 

The past few posts have been things that I got at Sephora and Ulta when I was in California. As you can see I went a little over board because I'm so excited to share everything that I got! Anyway, I know this product is available in the States and other places for around $8 but I got this product here in Japan and it is around 1500 yen ($15). It's soo expensive!! Anyway, for the review...


The Lip Butters are essentially a moisturizing lip stick with a little tint but the Revlon ones are very pigmented. I was very surprised at the pigmentation because it almost gives the pigmentation of a lip stick but the lip butter is far more moisturizing for the lips. It feels comfortable on my lips because I don't like having the heavy lipstick feeling on my lips. 


The color is very pretty as well. It's like a bright pinky fuchsia color, very appropriate for the spring and summer months. 

♡ Current favorites #1 ♡

I realize I have been gone for a long time but I've busy with school, exams and blah blah blah.. :/

But hopefully I can put up more posts now that everything have settled down.:)

I decided to do a series called "current favorites". Every now and then I will tell you guys some of the products I've been loving. I don't know if I should do it every month or not but we'll see how it goes :)

SOO, without further ado here are the products I've been loving 

1. Gel liner 

This is a general one but I lovee gel liner! <3 I love winged out liner so gel liner gives me the perfect look. This is probably my favorite beauty looks because it's so retro and classy. I feel like this will never go out of style and I absolutely LOVE it! <3 

2. MAC ricepaper eyeshadow

I love this eyeshadow because it's a neutral shadow which you can wear everyday. I wear this all over the eyelid because it gives a really pretty soft golden sheen that brightens up your eyes. My go-to looks has been just the ricepaper eyeshadow and liner and mascara. It's easy, natural and classy. 

3. MAC mineralize blush in Gentle

You might have seen the post that I did about this blush but I love this blush soo much! It's a pretty raspberry shade with golden shimmer. It's instantly gives a healthy glow to your face without being too overpowering. It's an easy everyday blush to use :) 

4. MAC Teddy eye kohl

This is a really pretty bronzy brown eyeliner. I use this on my lower lash line to give my eyes a little bit of definition without being too harsh like putting black on my waterline. It's a really pretty eyeliner that can be worn on every eye color :)

5. White eyeliner

I've been really loving putting white eyeliner on my waterline because it makes your eyes look bigger and awake. This trick has helped me a lot because I've been needing that extra kick to my makeup since I haven't had much sleep. (Studying!)

So that it's for my favorites :) I hope you try out some of the products that I mentioned and if you have favorites that you have been loving, let me know! :)

Nars Amour Powder Blush

         Nars Amour blush is described as a "peachy pink" color. I would say that is exactly what it is except it's a little bit darker than a peach. It is a matte shade which I like because I'm not a big fan of shimmery blushes. This is the only Nars product that I own so I can't say a lot of things about it but I will try the best I can.

         The pigmentation of the blush is so amazing. With one swipe of the blush can make you look like a clown but the good thing is that you can blend it out. Either you do that or use a VERY light hand. I really like that way it looks on my skin tone because peaches usually look good with skin with yellow undertone. But I think it will be pretty on all skin tones.

          I like applying the blush with a duo fibre brush because it picks up and deposits the color sparingly. I am not a big fan of the very dramatic blush color on my cheek so i usually go for a very natural look. The staying power of the blush is god as well but probably after 8 hours or so, it will fade away, which I'm not entirely surprised about because powder blushes don't last as long as cream or gel blushes.

          As a conclusion, I really love this blush because I use is almost every time I wear makeup. I would definitely like to try the other shades because I want to expand my collection of blushes. The quality of the Nars product is great, hence it is a high end brand. But the only problem is the price! It is $28, which is a lot to pay for a blush and I wouldn't usually pay that much for a blush but I think this is worth it because it lasts a very long time.

The blush is available at Sephora　www.sephora.com

  ナーズアムールはパウダチークで、”ピーチピンク”と記述されています。ピーチよりは少し暗い印象ですが、マット系なのでけっこう私好みです。というのも実はキラキラ系が苦手なもので…。 この商品について感じたことを率直に伝えてたいと思います。　

   まずは色素沈着についてですが、かなり優れていると思います。なので、ワンブラッシュするだけではっきり沈着するので、まるでピエロのような頬紅の仕上がりに。ところが、軽く筆を入れるか、またはブレンドすることで、まったく異なる効果が得られます。たとえば私は、イエローのアンダートーンと一緒に使ったりします。そうすると顔色がとても良く見えのです。私のようなアジア人のみならず、すべてのスキンカラーに効果があると思います。

　普段私はナチュラルメイク派で、チークももちろんそうですが、厚化粧はあまりしません。なのでこの商品は、デュオファイバーブラシで控えめに使用します。耐久性にもかなり優れていて８時間くらいは持つでしょうか。クリームやゲルでもないパウダー状なのに、この耐久性はかなり魅力的です。

　結論をいえば、私はこのチークが本当に好きです。間違いなくほかの色合いを試してみたいと思っています。 ただ本当にNARS製品の品質は素晴らしいですが、それゆえに非常に高価なブランドのひとつです。唯一の問題は価格！　28ドル…チークにそれだけの金額を使うのは、学生の私にとってかなりつらいのですが、それだけ価値のある商品なので納得しています。

この商品は Narsカウンター、もしくはSephoraでも購入できます。
