Revlon Lip Butter with Lip Gloss combo

I know, I know, I'm not gonna review on the Revlon Lip butter.  You must be tired to hear about this.
I do too (maybe not). But I have to say this "I love them!"

I like sheer types of lipsticks. So I used to love Dior High Shine lipsticks and
Chanel Shine CoCo lipsticks. But those are $30 each. Oh, my lord.....

But Lip butters are around $7 or $8. Their price is great and the quality is honestly, better than Chanel.
I have 12 colors of lip butters. I'm not gonna list them but I'm gonna show you only two colors that I matched with my lip glosses. Even it's super moisturing lipstick, I still want to put some lip gloss over it in fall/winter time. And these colors are great for fall/winter.

The colors will be Fig Jam (030) and Sugar Plum (085). 

I was worried that these colors might be too dark. But lip butter is sheer finish lipstick so it's not dark at all. After I paired with lip glosses, the colors looked just gorgeous!

Fig Jam (030)


 Fig Jam looks really deep brownish red color. I paired with NYX  Nutmeg (130)
First: One coat of Fig Jam
Second: 10 coats of Fig Jam
Third: NYX Nutmeg Lip gloss
They are very similar colors so it goes very well together


 See? It's not that dark at all
 
Next, Color is Sugar Plum

I paried with Stilla Plum Fairy 
 One coat
10 coats
Stilla Plum Fairy

These two colors are very similar too. But the lip gloss brings out the color more.
That is why I like it.


These two Fig Jam and Sugar plum does not look wearable(I thought) but after I put some
lip gloss, it became pretty and wearable colors.

NEW Revlon PhotoReady Primers Review

I was looking for a face primer really really long time. I've been using < Laura Mercier Mineral Primer > but I didn't really like it. It was just okay quality but the price was too high($30) for a primer. Only reason that I used L.Mercier is, very simple: "I heard it's good for oily skin".
I was searching and searching......almost to give up to find new one. THEN, On Christmas Eve,  Ulta updated two of  Revlon PhotoReady Face Primers! (Magic happends on Christmas Eve for sure! LOL)
Recently, I enjoy to use Revlon PhotoReady Color Stay Foundation, so without any pauses I got both of the primers.


Right: 001  Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer 0.91fl/oz (27ml)
Left:   002 Revlon Photoready Color Correcting Primer  0.91fl/oz (27ml)
Packaing: Same as PhotoReady foundation
Price: $12.99 from Ulta.com

*Ulta.com had buy 2 get third one for free + plus, 20%off entire purchase.  I got their famous Lip butter for free. It was such a great deal!


The Perfecting Primer(Right)  is beige tone and the color correcting primer (Left) is blush pink color.
I think the Perfecting primer(Right) is for all skin type. But for the color correcting primer(Left) is for whoever has uneven skin tone. Sometimes, I get blemish on my cheeks and my forehead.
I thought it might be good for me. Once I applied them, there were very smooth and easy to apply. Both of them gave me really matte finish. Nothing greasy or waterly at all. The color correcting primer(Left) is pink-ish color but the color does not show at all. It blened very well with my skin.


For my personal test, I appied the color correcting primer (Left) onto my left face and The Perfecting Primer(Right) onto my right side of face. Both of them gave me very clean and soft looks.

"Oh, I just love them!!" 

It looked like my face is ready for foundation. I don't usually expect big from the face primer but
these Revlon Primers made the differences.

< Two things about the color correcting primer (Left) that I'm not sure about >
First, this is supposed to make even skin tone but I am not sure about that. I can't really tell with my    
         result.
Second, it seems like it has shimmers in it. It is really hard to tell but if I put under light, it shows.
             I wonder if the shimmer does anything.

< With My Personal Experience: I like The Perfecting Primer(Right) more >
It's kinda hard to explian but somehow it is little easier to apply and also it gives little better finished looks than the color correcting primer(Left).

 I'm not sure if you can see, but the middle of small section of my hands looks crocodile (haha). I didn't apply anything on that section. But both sides looks smooth because of the primers.
I applied only the Right side of hand. It looks a lot smoother than left side of my hand, I really hope you can see the differences.

Last but not least, It comes with Pump!
how can I not like these Primers!



Price, Results and even packaging are just perfect!
I would give four stars for Revlon color correcting Primer!
Five Stars for Perfecting Primer!
