My week in Instagrams #1

I’ve seen lots of bloggers doing this and I really enjoy them – since I’m so nosey – so they’ll hopefully be a regular addition.

I’m taking part in FatMumSlim’s #PhotoADayApril challenge, where you take a picture everyday in the month of April. So some of these pictures are from my challenge.

#PhotoADayApril 1. – Reflection. Me in the lift on my way to work.

#PhotoADayApril 2. – Colour. This was dinner on Monday. Tuna jacket potato with cheese and avocado.

#PhotoADayApril 3. – Mail. As you all know I did the Beauty Box Swaps Easter swap. These were the packages I sent off. I added lavender underneath the cellophane so it smelt nice when they opened it.

Chocolate Philly. It was on offer for £1 in Asda and curiosity got the better of me. Surprisingly it tastes really good.

#PhotoADayApril 4. – Someone that makes you happy. My boyfriend and I messing around.

St Ives Apricot Scrub. This came free through the post last week. Review coming soon. Really loving it.

Got my first amazing Easter swap from Jade. Loving the Vaseline!

My new panda ring. Totally in love!

Baking. Forgot to buy a rolling pin when we moved in, had to improvise! Haha

#PhotoADayApril 5. – Tiny. Cute little eraser from Jade’s bunny swap.

#PhotoADayApril 6. – Lunch. Cheese and caramelised onion tart with coleslaw.

Love the feeling of a fresh bedspread.

My second amazing bunny swap from Claire.

Accent nail – NYX 24k Glitter polish from Claire.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain & Balm, also from Claire.

#PhotoADayApril 7. – Shadow. Wagamama’s for the besties’ birthday. Jasmine flowering tea.

Sunday morning. Massive mug of tea and a blog catch-up.

#PhotoADayApril 8. - Inside my wallet. I keep more cards in another wallet but these are my essentials - yes, Nando's loyalty card is an essential!

What did you get up to last week?

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait Review and Swatches

Before I start I just want to say sorry about the pictures. Fed up of using my iPhone and having to spring-clean my pictures every week so I used my camera. But the lighting in the living room wasn’t great so they’re all a tad out of focus, and you can’t see the true colour! Boo! :(

I finally buckled under the pressure and bought myself some Revlon Lip Butters. The blogosphere has been going crazy over these over the last couple of months, and I just didn’t understand why. But now I’ve got one, I really do …

Now I actually bought three – a girl can’t say no to 3for2! – but I’m planning on doing a mini giveaway soon with these as a prize.

The colour I kept for myself was 025 Peach Parfait, a very deep, golden peach colour – as seen on Emma Stone in the promo pictures.

I really wanted pink truffle, but the Boots I was in was completely sold out.

The product glides on very sheer, but can be built up to a medium coverage. I wasn’t expecting this as I thought that they’d just give your lips a bit of a tint and not full on coverage. I found the Peach Parfait looked a bit pink, due to the slight pink hue my lips have.

What Revlon say:

- Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%

- Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth

- Sheer to medium colour with buttery shine

- Available in 20 luscious shades

What I say:

I really love it. It feels just like a lip balm and keeps my lips really hydrated and smooth. It also stayed on for a lot longer than I expected. Perfect for my handbag collection as lipsticks can be very drying – but this was obviously the complete opposite. A complete steal at £7.99 – especially when they’re on 3for2!

Would I purchase again? Definitely, 100%. BUT I just wish that we’d have access to the full 20 colours that were released in the US and Canada, and not just 14.
