Hi Guys! Happy Friday! Hope y’all had a great week. Today’s post is about the Revlon Lip Butters. I love these lipsticks, they are glossy and shiny, and they give a sheer, natural wash of color, which is what I like best.

I have been using these 4 lip butters recently:

Strawberry Shortcake – this color is a blue toned light pink color that is really pretty. There is no shimmer in this one, and it looks really pretty for everyday wear.

Peach Parfait – This is the first lip butter I purchased. I bought this one because Emma Stone was wearing it on the display picture at Ulta, and it looked so pretty on her. This is a really pretty peachy-pink color with subtle shimmer.

Berry Smoothie – This color is a bright berry color. It is brighter than the normal berry colors than I would pick out, but I love it because it has more pink than purple undertones.

Cherry Tart – I wear this one when I’m feeling sassy! It is a true red; a bright red, but it comes out pretty sheer, that is why I like it.

These Lip Butters can be found at any drugstore for around $6.

Thanks for reading, have a great weekend! 🙂

Hi Guys! I just received my Hautelook + Nordstrom Summer Beauty Essentials Bag in the mail, and I thought I would share it with all of you. Every couple of months, on Hautelook’s website, they put out a “Beauty Essentials Bag”. The bag contains a bunch of different products, and it is just $20. As a gal who loves to try out new products, this is right up my alley! The product value that you get is way over the $20, and it’s just like Christmas when you get it in the mail!

So, this set of 14 products is valued at $120, and everything comes in a cute little clear makeup bag, and here is what it contains:

– Blow Pro Strong Hold Finishing Spray, Strengthens and conditions hair as it holds and locks out humidity, and prevents frizz. Sulfate and paraben free, not tested on animals. 1.5 oz. I am always looking for a new hairspray, so I’m excited to try this!

– Lashfood Nano Peptide Natural Eyelash Conditioner – Provides the appearance of longer, thicker lashes and helps your lashes to become healthy and strong. 0.02 oz.

– Grab N’ Go Pony Compact – 3″3″ clear plastic compact that holds your ponytail holders and comes with 3 colored ones. This is so cool! Now I have someplace to put mine and Allison’s ponytail holders so they won’t end up at the bottom of my purse.

– Miracle 10 AHA Cream – Skin Smoothing Exfoliator to help relieve dry skin, even out skin tone, and minimize aging. 10 ml. I am obsessed with trying anything with anti-aging on it, so I am definitely going to try this one out soon!

– Diptyque Eau de Toilette Fragrance – this scent is supposed to smell like fig trees, I don’t really like it that much though! I’ll probably give this to someone or just toss it. I like more floral fragrances.

– Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil in Naked – Glides on smoothly, stays creamy, and keeps lipstick, gloss, and stain from feathering. I am a big fan of these 24/7 eyeliners, but I have never tried a lipliner from this brand. This color is a true nude, and will look good with a nude lipstick over the top.

– LORAC Special Effects Mascara in Black – Contains natural oils and plant extracts to prime lashes, and the mascara defines and lengthens lashes while keeping them healthy and shiny.

– Crown Brush Travel Brush Set – contains powder brush, oval shadow brush, angled liner brush, oval tip brush, and brow groomer brush.

– Whish Orange Cream Body Butter – Softens and soothes skin, firms with organic seaweed extract, and is paraben free. 0.50 oz. This lotions smells exactly like an orange creamsicle! It is so soft and I seriously just want to eat it, it smells so good! I will definitely be purchasing the full-size!

– L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream – 20% shea butter hand cream penetrates to protect, nourish, and moisturize hands. 0.03 oz.

– NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Margarita – this lipstick offers a beautiful, velvet texture, and resists wear and smudging. 0.14 oz.

– Kate Somerville Tan Towel Half Body Classic Towelette – Exfoliate, tan and moisturize all in one! Works with proteins and amino acids to provide the most natural looking tan. These are great for travel, and they do provide a great tan with no streaking!

– Mirenesse Lip Bomb in #27 – Color that drenches your lips for a juicy, high impact color that is super moist and has a velvety finish. This is a liquid lipstick that is really shiny, and it is really pretty. I had never heard of this brand before, but I am impressed with the wear of this.

Way more than $20, right? I am really impressed with these bags, and I will continue to purchase them! If you would like me to do a review or a demo on any of these products, let me know!

Thanks for reading, have a great day!
