Review: Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter

After seeing them floating around every blogger and their dog's blog's recently I've caved in and purchased one of the new Revlon Lip Butters in the colour Cotton Candy (045). I have to say I am so pleased I bought this lipstick and will definitely going back for more.
 The great thing about this lipstick is the moisture it actually gives to your lips. Whereas most lipsticks are quite drying on the lips, this lip butter actually feels like moisture is being put into my lips. Like a moisturiser on the lips!
 The shade I picked Cotton Candy, is very wearable. It is a pale pink colour with a slight shimmer to it. Although not the most noticeable of lipsticks, it makes the lips a great colour and adds a touch of shine to them.
 Overall, I would recommend this lip butter and this shade in particular to anyone slightly afraid of lipstick. A cross between lip balm and lipstick I would say it is the perfect beginners lipstick, while not making your lips look like their saying 'LOOK AT MEEE!!'. At reasonable price of £5.99, I shall definitely be purchasing some more colours. Revlon, you have done me proud.
Other shade I'm looking into getting are: Peach Parfait, Cupcake and Strawberry Shortcake (anyone a bit hungry now?)

Post soon!

ARK...

Where I live in Norwich there is a shop called Ark, there a a few of these shops dotted around the country. When I walk into this shop, I love all the clothes! I went in the other day and finally decided to make a purchase. A jumper with a peace symbol on. The jumper cost me £22.99 and is made by a company called 'Hearts & Bows'. 
I love the jumper itself and fits really well, however I have come across some problems with it. I find the jumper to be really itchy around the neck ( it feels like plastic scratching against my chest!) I could deal with this problem, however in the back of my mind was wondering whether I was receiving the quality I should for the amount I paid. When looking at the jumper the other day I realised the stitching was coming apart under one of the arms. I've found myself very disappointed with the quality of this product however still really like it.
 I think I might return and exchange. This is the other dodgy thing about Ark, the do not refund, only exchange. Despite the problems I've had with quality, I want more clothes, HA! I want to ask, has anyone else found this problem with Ark clothing? Should I go back for more, or does the quality simply not match the price?

Post soon!
