Move Over Revlon Lip butters

There's been so much hype over Revlon Lip Butters that the other releases from this brand have been left unnoticed. In the past month, this brand has released a vast amount of new products. Don't get me wrong, I loved the lip butters, I raved about them awhile ago, but these other products definitely deserve a mention too.

I don't usually lean towards lipglosses on a regular basis but these two have made their way into my handbag. They are two new shades from Revlon's Colorburst that I can see being popular. Bellini is a gorgeous peach shade which will be perfect over the Summer, while  Crystal Water is a clear gloss with purple, blue and pink shimmer.  Both shades are very wearable, Crystal Water looks great over lipsticks or on it's own. For those of you who don't like shimmer it's barely noticeable on the lips unless you look really close. I've been using both lipgloss continuously since I bought them. They are certainly long lasting on the lips without being ridiculously sticky. Did I forget to mention these lipgloss smell amazing? they have such a yummy sweet scent. I want to pick up some more of these soon, but I'm spoiled for choice as there are so many gorgeous shades to choose from.

Another new release Revlon product is the Photoready Perfecting Primer. I'm all about the primers, there a essential for me as my makeup always slides off my face halfway through the day. I guess it's just one of the joys of having oily skin ( I joke). This particular one was quite expensive at €18, I got mine on offer for about €12 in McCabes pharmacy. It has to be said I've been loving this primer, one pump covers my whole face leaving it feeling so smooth. I wouldn't say it works miracles and makes my pores disappear, but they certainly look less noticeable after applying. Unlike some so called matte primers, this actually delivers, it leaves a nice base for makeup application. Both of Revlon's new primers (one available here) are said to contain non of the following: talc, oil, paraben and fragrance. I do get a scent of this but I can't put my finger on what it smells like. As drugstore primers go, this in my opinion is one of the best I've tried.

What's your favourite Revlon product? Will you be trying any of the new additions to the brand?
