rest assure this is my last one until they are released in the UK.
It seems they were meant to go live today hence why they are on the Boots website
but showing up as out of stock, what has happened apparently is the stock has been delayed
and they will in fact be on sale this Friday...fingers crossed!
They should filter on to the store shelves by the 19th of March.

As always with any new release if I hear anything else I will post it on Twitter.
Sadly the UK will only be receiving 14 of the 20 shades that are available in the US/Canada,
I have provided a list of shades that will be available in UK for reference purposes - link.
Much like the other products by Revlon these little lip wonders come packaged complete
with the quilted design on the plastic outer sleeves, it gives a slight high end feel.
Each shades packaging matches the shade inside, I do like a bit of colour coordination!
In my opinion the casing is pretty, practical and sturdy which is all I can ask for.
Peach Parfait is one of the slightly harder to source shades from what I have gleamed
from US/Canadian blogs and this shade was a little pricer on eBay than the others.
I think it is partly due to the shade - light peachy coral- this type of shade always does well.
and that it is the shade Emma Stone wears in the promotional advertisements.
Anyway Revlon Peach Parfait Lip Butter is a warm peach almost coral shade
that is not as well pigmented as some of the other shades but easy to wear as it is a suit all type of shade.
In terms of dupes it reminds me most of Nars Orgasm which it is very similar to,
it also shares the same golden shimmer due to the tiny gold glitter particles.
Highly pigmented lips may struggle to get this to work for them.
The formula of these is something else, I had no idea I would enjoy wearing these quite as much as I do!
Generally speaking the shades are well pigmented and glide on very much like a traditional lip balm.
Yet they superior colour pay off in comparison to a standard tinted lip balm.
Each shade gives a semi-opaque coverage of colour with a light glossy finish,
they are very moisturising and comfortable to wear.
I liken these a little to Mac Cremesheen lipsticks as they feel and wear very similar on my lips,
obviously each one of us will have different results but this is what they remind me of.
The Revlon Lip Butters have a very mild typical lipstick scent but nothing noticeable when worn.
I found these to wear around 2-3 hours some shades wore longer than others
but they are not exactly long lasting.
Overall I am very impressed with these lipstick/lip balm hybrids!
Product Summary
Round Up - A great combination of lipstick and lip balm that gives the best of both worlds.
Best For - Fans of tinted lip balms or light moisturising lip coverage!
Pigmentation - Generally 7/10 but really great for what it is.

Really glad this seems to be one of the shades we're getting over here. Thanks for all the lip butter swatches, hopefully it'll help me narrow down which 2 to buy first! xxx
