REVLON'S COLORBURST LIP BUTTERS

Revlon brought out a cute new range of very pigmented yet very wearable lip butters. I spent half an hour deciding which shades I want to get out of a whopping 21! I ended up going for Tutti Frutti, Candy Apple, Berry Smoothie and Raspberry Pie. I thought in the lines of 'one coral, one red, one pink and one deep pink'..

REVLON'S COLORBURST LIP BUTTERS

They come in a cute packaging and are very moisturising, something of a hybrid between a lip balm and a lipstick, they have the pigmentation of a lipstick but the moisturising properties of a lip balm. Another great thing about them is that you don't have to wear the shade full on, when they are initially applied, a thin layer gives you a natural hint of colour without the drama, so perfect for a classy day look, but if you realise you have plans in the evening too, you can just add a thicker layer on and you have a good burst of colour. This makes me always carry at least one in my bag so I can quickly go from day to night, perfect!

015 Tutti Frutti: An orangey coral shade, I love to wear this one sheer during the day, it looks fresh and I'm sure I will love it in the summer too! Great all-rounder coral and it is much easier to wear than more opaque orange lipsticks.

035 Candy Apple: A cute tomato red, not orange, very wearable, I love to wear it as a statement lipstick with a simple eye look.

050 Berry Smoothie: very natural 'your lips but better' colour, super wearable pink shade, the one I just can't let go of, wear it everyday. It looks much darker in the photo than it really is, the swatch shows the real colour you get.

010 Raspberry Pie: Darkest colour of the four, although you can wear it sheer, it is a beautiful statement dark pink, reminds me a little of a beetroot pink, very wearable too and stays on a long time.

  1. All of the shades you have are so pretty! I'm a big fan of 'Macaroon' and also have my eye on 'Juicy Papaya'.

  2. I have not tried Macaroon yet, is it a soft pink? I think Juicy Papaya would be perfect for the summer! xx

  3. I am loving these. I second Macaroon, though my favourite is Pink Truffle. I wish all lipsticks were as moisturising as this! I want to collect as many of the "wearable" shades as I can! I wanted to love Tutti Frutti, but I couldn't get along with it! I think I'll try Berry Smoothie next, your swatch of it looks lovely. Have you found a similar product to this? Apart from Clinique's "Almost Lipstick" range I'm not having any luck. K x

    1. Hi Kirsty, you got me so intrigued about Macaroon and Pink Truffle, I really want to get them now:)! I think it is such a gorgeous product, I want all the shades :)! I do find myself reaching for Berry Smoothie the most, it is so easy to wear so I hope you will like it too. I have not found anything as hydrating as these lipsticks. I do know YSL do a sheer lipstick, but having found these Revlon, I really would not spend more money on a big brand because I don't think they will be worth the money. ;) xxx
