Happy Monday of finals week, everybody! (Okay, everybody at the UO and/or other universities on a quarter system.) Only 1 week until I am done with all responsibilities for the term (only 4 days until my own work has to be done, OH GOD), 8 days until I leave for vacation with my mother, and 11 days until I can give the blog the attention it deserves! Until then, I have some brief review-y posts scheduled. I'll see y'all on the other side...
I've been wanting a pretty warm pink lippie for the summer, and had initially thought that Chamade would fill that hole, but that ended up being more tangerine than I was expecting (not that this is a bad thing!). Luckily, along came a 40% off sale on Revlon, and I picked up yet another lip butter, this time in Sweet Tart, a lovely warm pink cream.

Revlon Sweet Tart (yes, I used it before I photographed it, I'm sorry!)
It's semi-sheer, but it can be built up to almost full opacity, and like all the other lip butters, it is smooth, creamy, and mildly moisturizing.

It wears a little more than an hour on me, and leaves a bit of a stain behind.

It also layers beautifully with Strawberry, which was an unexpected bonus! Usually I just wear it by itself, but it's nice to have options. Because of its luminosity, it's a very wearable pink, and I think it would look good on pretty much anyone (albeit somewhat less punchy on darker skintones). A summer staple!
Here it is in a full FOTD, with Illamasqua Tweak on cheeks (review to come)
