Drugstore Lipstick swatches!

It must be my lucky day (or yours), 2 blog posts in one day! Today I've got swatches of the new Revlon Lip Butters and the Covergirl blastflipstick blendable lip duo. The revlon lip butters have been all the rage within the blogging and vlogging community so of course I had to check them out as I do love my gosh soft n shine lip balms (which has been discontinued!). These are not as moisturizing but I believe they are advertised as a lipstick/balm/gloss in one rather than a shine coloured lip balm.

The texture of these are soft and moist. The darker colours seemed more pigmented than the lighter ones obviously. So far I've picked up 3, and I might go back for a peachy and nude one later. I grabbed the red velvet only because of a certain youtuber who was wearing it in onr of her videos, otherwise just by looking at it, it looks boring and dull. Sweet Tart is a nice brighter pink and can be layered for more colour. Cotton Candy is the sheerest of the 3 and my least favourite as my lips are super pigmented but still nice for everyday.

Next is the Covergirl blastflipstick blendable lip duo in 815 Flashy.



This duo is meant to be blended using both colours (like the pros) so that it can be suited to your needs. They are nice on their own as well as blended together.


The darker magenta colour on the left, the lighter purple in the middle and on the right we have both blended together.



I haven't worn this one out yet but it stained my hand pretty bad, I can imagine it would stay on my lips just as well. The only thing is I had a hard time deciding which colour to get as I think most of the combinations didn't suit my taste.

If you have any swatches or reviews of these products let me know, I'd love to see them! 'Til next time :)
