Review: Revlon Lip Butters - Peach Parfait & Tutti Fruitti

Yayayay look what arrived in the mail last week! :D


The packaging has a quilted pattern embossed into it, reminiscent of the original Colourburst lipsticks.
I think there are about a total of 20 shades from what I've read.





Forewarning, I've never cropped the picture to just my lips but the rest of my face looked horrendous. Prepare yourself for close ups of my my slightly awkward, lopsided smile.


My naked lips, this is why I never realised the dark patch on my lip was a freckle, the creases in my lip kinda mix in with it.

Tutti Fruitti

A sheer orange-coral, I expected a brighter orange to be honest but I really love this colour. Very summery and bright but not overtly so. The colour is definitely build-able to a medium coverage lipstick but not opaque.

Peach Parfait

Just like all the reviews, this is the perfect every day pink for my lips, this could complement any look.  Similar to tutti fruitti, it has a sheer coverage but build-able. After watching hollyanaeree's review I was scared that this would feel gritty due to the shimmer but I'm happy to say that this feels smooth and comfortable to wear.

Overall
These did not disappoint and lived up to my expectations after reading and watching countless reviews. Although these are called 'lip butters' I would consider them more of a hybrid between lipsticks and a lip butter, the colour pay off and pigmentation is amazing for something that feels so moisturising.

Of course with that being said, due to the creamy nature of the formula, this is not the most long lasting lip product, at most a few hours. But reapplication is a dream, this really just glides over your lips.

Back to the moisturising side of these, the moment I took peach parfait off my lips, I noticed that they felt so soft and smooth, much more so then before I put any on.

And if you thought I couldn't sing any more praise for these, the scent of these is really attractive..if I can describe a smell like that. It's a sugary, sweet scent and the taste is much better than normal lipsticks that I use.

I would definitely buy more, the only thing stopping me is that I don't think these are even available in Australia yet...or will they ever be? Even if they are I'll bet my money on the fact that one lip butter will retail for in excess of $20.

Love Lisa.

Review: G&G/Dueba Dizon Eye Violet

I purchased these from fobbybarbie.com
The shipping took 15 days, so that's just over 2 weeks as expected.

It came in a bubble wrap padded bag:

Colour 9/10

I really quite like the colours of these lenses, its not an extremely vibrant or intense shade of violet. So it's not as unnatural as some violet lenses that I've seen before.

Design 8/10

I think that the ring of colour could come further in towards the pupil hole or it could possible fade out a bit more subtly.

Enlargement 8/10

Although these are 14.5mm, same as the EOS Max Gold Black, I do not find them as enlarging nor do they give as much of a dolly eyed effect.

Comfort 8/10

I do not find these as comfortable as my EOS lenses, it takes at least an hour or 2 for my eyes to become accustomed to the lenses. Also I feel like they do not fit my eye as well as the EOS do, but that could be due to my eye shape.

Overall, I love the way these lenses look from afar, it just adds a hint of a dark purple/violet, without being too weird looking. However if someone was to come within maybe 15cm of your face and stare into your eyes (which are in direct sunlight) the design does not look that great. The purple ring seems not to blend well up close (as you can see from the picture below).

Ahh close ups of it and in direct sunlight...freaky.
[okay I had to take these pictures down, I don't want to scar anyone]

With and without (taken on a different day to the other pictures, using my SB-600 bounce flash):


Light from the window but not in direct sunlight.




Sorry for the picture overload,
Love Lisa.

PS. Just to put it out there yes, yes I do have a slight new obsession for circle lenses and nail art. Am I becoming incredibly asian? はい。


Oh em geee, yeah so if any happens to see this on youtube, I'm not trying to hide it or anything but its not a particularly good video.
I whipped it up because your supposed to get a free pair for doing a video review, unfortunately I have not received this in return yet..I will get it out of them >:( hence why I'm keeping this video up for now.

EOS Max Gold Black Review

So a week or two ago, I received my package from HoneyColor.
It came in a bubble wrap bag and inside I found this little box, a pretty neat way to package the lenses:

Instructions on the back:


Along with the contacts came a free lens case, I thought it was so incredibly cute:

And here are the lenses after soaking in solution:


Colour 8/10
A very dark brown ring with spikes going inwards from the circle. Nothing dramatic, it gives more definition to your eyes and blends nicely with dark brown eyes.
Enlargement 9/10
14.5mm diameter. Creates a very dolly look with the right make up.
Comfort 9/10
Initially I felt like my eyes were tired and dry after wearing it for a few hours since I'm not used to wearing contacts, but today was the 3rd time I've worn and I felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Overall, they were pretty much everything I expected and now that I realise how comfortable circle lenses can be, I'll definitely be expanding my collection very soon.



When I smile like this you can barely see the sclera of my eye.


Maybe more details or something later on if I think of anything,
Love Lisa.

PS. the massive watermarking is because I've seen way too many sites use other people's pictures of circle lenses without consent.
