Revlon Lip Butters

So i have really mixed reviews about this line of lip(stick/balms).
I was really excited to try them after hearing sooo many good things about them,
Frmheadtotoe loved them, and hollyannaeree, beautifymeeh!!
so i was really excited when they came to our CVS in hawaii, and even better - had all of them in stock.
i got the three that i had wanted to try the most: Sweettart. Cherry Tart, and Tutti Frutti
Sweet tart is a bright and sort of dark ish pink.  It goes on really pretty and i love the color
Cherry Tart is a bright red and it has some glitter in the formula ~ very classic with a slight twist to make it more modern and for younger generations
Tutti Frutti was the most natural and can be worn everyday. it is a coral, orangey color and i love the color

The thing i don't like about this is that after a couple hours, if i don't exfoliate my lips and wear a lip chapstick, or moisturizer, my lips peel and look really gross. so i can't vouch for the moisturizing properties of this so called "lip butter". if you don't get gross dry lips lip mine, then it will be perfect for you. i still really like this product, as the formula's consistency goes on smooth over a chapstick and it looks so pretty! i would probably repurchase..but i need to make sure i exfoliate my lips and use a moisturizer under it and constantly re apply throughout the day

Sephora Collection Jumbo Liner (Waterproof 12HR Wear)

Product: Eyeliner (jumbo)
Where to buy: Sephora or sephora.com
Cost: $12
Colors: ~17

Im just going to say right off the bat that I love these liners
the only thing is that they are not practical for those who want to use the black as a liner; but i think that if you are buying a jumbo liner, you want thick lines anyway (as i do).  If you don't want thick liner on your lids, dont buy this. However, you can buy other colors and use it as a shadow. These do dry quickly (yes, even pencil liners require drying time), so i dont recommend it if you want to use it as a base and smudge it .. because it won't smudge xD yayayay ~~
yes, i love that it wont smudge-- it's amazing (:
i bought these liners in Glitter Black, and Khaki. i LOVE the color Khaki, so i got this liner and the liquid liner version. Love all of them. <33
The black glitter one is a matte black with silver glitters in it
The Khaki one is a green with olive and gold undertones in it and is a bit metallic looking
i swatched these two on my hands, waited a little, rubb rubb, and none of them budged one bit.

then, it gets better. I washed my hands after eating at Shirokiya Beer Garden ramen, and really washed them well with soap, and when i left the restroom i looked at my hands and the swatches were still there, just as pretty and pigmented, no smudges, just absolutely perfect!
ill take pictures of swatches later on and post them!
until then, i just really recommend these! go buy them!!!! (; <33, jammie

Sephora Collection Long-Lasting Eye Liner (in Khaki)

Product: liquid liner
Where to buy: Sephora stores or sephora.com
Cost: $11
Colors: ~15

On Wednesdays my friend and I end school early, so we like to go eat and shop before work.
We stopped by Sephora, and I wanted to buy new makeup and get the Nar's VIB sampler.
I bought 2 Sephora Collection Jumbo Liners (12 hr Wear Waterproof) ~ which i will be later reviewing (and love BTW), and this Long Lasting Liquid Liner in Khaki (kaki). Let me first tell you guys that my expectations were not that high; however, after trying out this product on my hand and rubbing the swatch a bit, the color was just as gorgeous and no smudging. So i decided to give it a try (:
