Hi Everyone,
This post isn’t going to be anything new and has been sat in
my drafts for a while. However as I love the Revlon Lip Butters so much I
thought it was about time I did a little review of them.
There has been so much hype surrounding the Revlon Lip
Butters that I was over the moon when Jeanette kindly sent me one in the shade
Sweet Tart. As soon as I opened the package I put it on my lips and fell in
love. I wanted to try out a few more of the shades and after a few trips to
Boots searching for them I managed to pick up three more in the shades Candy
Apple, Macaroon and Sugar Frosting. Lip products are something which I’ve only
recently developed a real interest in and I’m slowly becoming a bit more daring
in the colours I’m choosing to wear. I think these Lip Butters are perfect for
anyone who’s wanting to experiment with brighter colours as there are such a
range of gorgeous colours which, while being pigmented, aren’t too dramatic due
to the formulation.
The packaging of the Lip Butters is stylish and study. I
think Revlon’s quilted design is so classic and gives a high end feel to the
product. The colour coordinated lids with the shade of lip butter is a great
idea and means I don’t have to rummage through my makeup bag to find the shade
I’m after. It also makes my makeup bag look lovely and colourful, which is
always a bonus.

The formulation of these lip butters is amazing. I find them
to glide on the lips like a lip balm, with the pigmentation of a sheer
lipstick. The pigmentation of these is actually pretty impressive for the most
part and adds a real pop of colour, while the balmy nature of these also gives
a glossy look. I find the colour to last around 2 hours on my lips. The only
downside is that the product can smush a little on around the edges of the case
as you twist the lip butter down after use. I guess this is because the product
is quite balmy and so I wouldn’t advise keeping these in a warm place for too
long as the product is likely to melt.

I think my favourite out of the Lip Butters I have picked up
is Candy Apple. I never thought I would be drawn to a red lip product but I’ve
fallen in love with the yellow toned red shade. I find it to be a very wearable
colour and giving a gorgeous glossy red lip without it being too loud or make
me feel like my mum. Sweet Tart is a gorgeous bright yellow toned pink colour,
perfect for the spring and summer. I can see myself wearing this a lot over the
coming months. Macaroon is a reddish dusky pink with gold shimmer. It is the
kind of colour that I’m normally drawn to in a lip stick. Candy Apple, Sweet
Tart and Macaroon are very pigmented and apply to give colour more like a
lipstick than a tinted lip balm. The final colour I picked up is Sugar Frosting
which is the least pigmented out of all of the ones I own. It gives a
pearlesent baby pink sheen to the lips which I think suits my pale skin tone.

Overall I really love the Revlon Lip Butters. I’m becoming a
bit obsessed and have my eye on a couple more shades. Have you tried any of the
Lip Butters? Are you hooked too or did you find they didn’t live up to the
hype?
