Completely Coconuts for Revlon's Juicy Papaya

I'm on a roll with these clever-pun title posts. Although how clever are they, really? You be the judge! This is by far my most favorite that I've come up with to date, haha. Today I'm going to talk about the one and only, most coveted and sought after Lip Butter that Revlon has come out with and that is Juicy Papaya. It's not like this guy is featured on every blog but it was featured by one blogger and one vlogger and was always sold out when I went to get it, so it's got to be some wonderful stuff, yeah? I found this guy randomly in Duane Reade and practically squealed when I saw it and wasted no time snatching it from the stand (seriously, I think about 5 other lip butters fell down with it and I think they were begging me to buy them, too - I was good and resisted) Even better was that right on the stand was a little packet of coupons for $1 off any Revlon lip product. I think I jumped into the air Flash Gordon style before running to the register, haha.

Juicy Papaya is that shade you got to when you want some sheer color to make your lips look naturally juicy. I almost regret saying that because it sounds so weird but that's one of the only ways I can accurately describe it. It's a coral shade that leans a lot towards orange. It gives your lips a subtle hint of color while being moisturizing. The color fades all too quickly from my lips so I find myself reapplying this a lot, but I think it says something about this lip butter if I put the effort to reapply. I'm the kind of gal that won't reapply lipstick out of sheer laziness, haha. It glides on the lips nicely and feels nourishing for the first few minutes. Then it goes on to leave that subtle hint of color without feeling like there's anything on your lips. Would I love it to be a bit more opaque? Yes, because this color is gorgeous but to pop it on for a 'naturally juicy' (hehehe) lip look, I love it. It also goes great with some of my crazier eye looks which makes it super handy to have and it hasn't left my makeup bag since I bought it (even made it's way to Canada with me!) It's quickly beaten out the other lip butters in my collection which makes me sad for them but makes the $8 (-$1 because coupons rock) worth it!

Collective Mini Haul | LUSH & Drugstore

Does anyone else do this? You tell yourself not to spend money on bits and pieces you know you don't need (in my case cosmetics!) and you stick with it for a while. Then you find yourself buying one bit here, a bob there, and a piece here; you didn't buy them all in one go so it makes it okay! Or does it, because this sort of mentality has resulted in this baby haul!? These are things that if I bought in one go I'd feel super guilty buying but having bought them spaced out on separate occasions makes me sort of justify it? Does anyone else find themselves ever doing this? Okay, I know, I know get on with the haul! 

Here we have a collective haul, a small one, but still loads to share! I picked up these products in the last two weeks and thought I'd share them with you! I am going to be doing a review on each of these items so look out for those sometime soon!

• Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Vivid Rose & Shocking Coral ($7.49) | I saw these lipsticks on someone's blog, I can't remember whose, and I was literally (okay, not literally) blown away by the brightness of these lipsticks! I think there are 8 or 10 colors in the whole range and they all just POP! I'm a girl who shy's away from the neutral and nude lippies so I was all over these. I ran to maybe 10 different drugstores before I found one that had the colors I wanted. I was going to pick up a third color but managed to have (some) restraint. 
• LUSH Cosmetics The Brightside Bubble Bar ($8.95) | LUSH is the best. I had fallen out of lust with them for a while but I think I'm swinging right back to loving them. When I saw their Easter collection had come out I knew I would have to pop in and touch everything, haha! I told myself to just get one thing because I still have loads of bath products from their Holiday collection. The Brightside bubble bar smells AMAZING and the colors are just WOW! It instantly caught my eye and seeing as how it was a "big" bubble bar, I knew it was the one item I had to have! (I dug through all of them until I found the biggest chunk! woops)
• Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss ($4.29) | Okay, bloggers. I heard your raves and caved. Fingers crossed this'll be a nice one! Although I've heard the scent alone makes bloggers go ga-ga! :)
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent ($6.19) | You may recall me raving about wanting the NARS Light Reflecting Powder here. Welp, my MAC MSF Natural ran out before I  got a chance to get my coupon and but said NARS powder. I've always wanted to try the Stay Matte powder and don't want to spend money on a high end powder just yet so it's a win-win! Really excited to try it out as I've heard great things!
