Whats in my travel makeup bag?

I've finally arrived in California and getting the urge to blog while I have some free time. Will be leaving tomorrow morning to drive down the coast to San Francisco, so won't be blogging whilst there but I'm gonna try write up a few today so then I can just post them :) Thought I'd do a quick post on what's in my travel makeup bag as I haven't written a proper post for a few days now.

Usually I'd take a lot more makeup than this with me but I knew I'd be buying makeup whilst here so kept it to a minimum but no I look at it it looks like quite a lot lol I really like that I can take small travel size pieces with me because I know that with thing's like primer and mascara I don't use that much. The Paul & Joe cat palette is my new fave at the moment, the eyeshadows are really good quality. 

Hope you are all having a wonderful week, will get another post up as soon a I can :)

Revlon Lip Butters

So as the UK release date for the Revlon Lip Butters approaches nearer, I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on them. I managed to pick up a few on my visit to California last year, they were pretty hard to find. We drove around looking in almost every Rite Aid and CVS that we could. Rite Aid from what I saw didn't stock them at all, and the stands at most CVS's were sold out. The three that I bought were the only ones left so I got them all. There were maybe two others that looked like they'd been opened and swatted so I skipped on those. The three colours I managed to get were, 070 Cherry Tart, 055 Cupcake and 090 Sweet Tart.

For me I like them a lot, my lips are VERY dry and I need to apply a lip balm quite often or else lipsticks stick to dry areas too much. So to have something that is not only rich in colour but also good for moisturizing my lips is great. They apply easily and you don't need to be too precise as they do sheer out. Cherry Tart and Cupcake both have small glitter pieces in but this isn't very noticeable when applied. They are very long wearing, which is expected from a lip butter.

The packaging is one of the things I like about these, the colour on each one matches the colour of the product inside. There is also a clear top so you can see what the actual product looks like which is nice for when you're looking for a certain colour. I've signed up for the release date email as these will likely sell out very quickly. They sell for $7.99/£7.99

Have you signed up for the release email? Will you be purchasing any? Do you have a particular colour you want to buy?
