Venus and Mars Lip Butter Tints

Hi everyone!! I have been very busy with job interviews the whole week and of course weekends are spent with my family and BF. I am so excited to blog about my new lip babies with you. You all know that my cool aunt sent me Revlon Lip Butters but I have not received them yet. Last week, I was watching a video of Shen using Venus and Mars products (http://www.shensaddiction.com/) and I instantly fell in love with her lip color. I cannot believe that she just used a lip butter and the pigmentation look so awesome in her video!


Here is the video of Shen using Venus and Mars products:


I must admit that I am more of a lipstick person because of my dark lips but this lip butter changed my mind. I googled reviews of these new lip butters from Venus and Mars and luckily saw two reviews from Kira of kira-ramirez.com (click here for her review) and Liz of Projectvanity.com (click here for her review). With their good reviews, I knew I must have these lip butters too. I only bought two shades. I really wanted only one color which is Pink Posies but Liz's review about how pretty cherry berry is convinced me to get it. :D 
From Venus and Mars Naturals Shop:
Break free from chemicals! Give your lips the authentic, lavish pampering it has always wanted. Made out of the finest essential oils, lips will surely be younger-looking in no time. There’s nothing more it could ever ask. Not at all heavy on the lips!
Ingredients: EMU Oil, Castor Bean Oil, Almond Oil, Carnauba Wax, Mica, Peppermint, Beeswax, Vitamin E Oil (now FORTIFIED with SPF15) 


The packaging looks like those of a normal lip balm but the product in the tube looks so pigmented and pretty! I was so happy with my purchase.  These lip butters only cost 185 pesos each. Very affordable compared to the 525 pesos lip butters from Revlon, right?  I am also so proud that these lip butters are Filipino made.
My lip swatches does not do justice to these lip butters. They look more pigmented and prettier in person! They are glossy and made my lips look well moisturized.
Pink Posies
Cherry Berry
What I love about this lip butter:
  • These lip butters are very affordable. They only cost 185 pesos. 
  • Proudly Filipino made product
  • The packaging is perfect for travel. 
  • These lip butters glides smoothly on my lips. 
  • No heavy and sticky feel! 
  • It has a nice subtle bubblegum scent. 
  • Made of natural ingredients.
  • I have dark lips and I can attest that the pigmentation is very nice! I know it cannot mask my dark lip line very well so I have to still use lip liners especially when I use Pink Posies but with Cherry Berry, lip liner is not needed.
  • The staying power is also good!
  • It gives my lips a nice stain after eating or drinking. (thumbs up for this!)
  • It has SPF 15 too! 
What I do not like about this lip butter:
  • Only 4 shades available and I am not sure if Salmon Peach and Wine Pearl would work well on my dark lips that is why I only bought two shades. I hope they will have a coral/orange shade.
  • It can only be bought online or at bazaars. I am not fairly acquainted if Venus and Mars have stalls in malls.
  • I hope it has more minty feel.
  • Moisturizing but not over the top moisturizing. I thought you can use it alone withone any balm needed. I still need to apply a more moisturizing balm before using this.. especially the cherry berry..
Over all, I highly recommend these lip butter tints! I am loving them so much.

Godbless everyone!

  1. Thanks for posting this. Finally, an affordable alternative to Revlon's lip butters! Even if I think that they're just highly pigmented lip balms, the lip butter" name seduces me because I'm so into body butters. Haha. Both look so pretty on your lips, but I'm leaning more on Cherry Berry because I can't get enough of red shades.
