30 Lips in 30 Days - Revolution I Heart My Lips

Day 2 of the 30 Lips in 20 Days challenge and today I have a Revolution I Heart My Lips Lipstick for you. On first impressions, the packaging is very cheap looking, and the layout of the product is a bit tacky. The bullet is heart-shaped all the way down which, although quite cute, makes application a little more difficult.

The shade I picked up was "Heart is Pumping" which is a light, cool toned pink. The formula is one of those with the lipstick shade on the outside with a balm-like texture running through the middle which does make the product quite sheer and sheeny upon application. It does feel quite thick on the lips but isn't at all sticky or gloss-like in texture. The scent of the product is actually quite nice, a subtle sweet scent that you will be able to taste slightly when you first apply the product but this will fade with wear.

All in all, for £1.49 it's not bad. I would definitely say that this was aimed towards a younger market (early to mid teenage years) with the pricing and the cutesy-ness of the packaging. The sheerness is also probably nice for the younger wearers. However I can't be it something I'll be reaching for very often.

30 Lips in 30 Days - MUA Whipped Velvet Lips

So I'd seen the "30 Lips in 30 Days Challenge" on Miss Budget Beauty's Channel (clicky link here) and being the lip-product junkie that I am, I figured that this would be a great opportunity to justify buying lots of new lipsticks share my thoughts on some lip products I've picked up recently. So lets get started.

When MUA first launched in Superdrug, I was all over trying the range but they had since fallen off my radar a little. So I figured I'd try out some of the things they had to offer and I really liked this one. Annoyingly, the shade names aren't on the packaging but I'm fairly certain that this is the shade "301 Ritzy".

The texture on this is lovely, it;s a nice light "whipped" texture. They are quite liquid in texture and feel really balmy and comfortable on the lips. the moisture content does come through in the finish of these and they have a pretty muted gloss type of look on the lips. At £3 a piece these are definitely a good affordable option but the packaging doesn't look particularly cheap and the applicator is nice.

Because the formula is so creamy and moisturising, they don't last particularly well on the lips so you'll need to keep it with you to touch up throughout the day if you plan to be wearing this for any length of time. I will note though that the range doesn't seem to contain any out-there bold shades, it does seem to be very neutral and light and so I find that it fades nicely on the lips and doesn't leave you with any crazy lip-line effect as it fades.
