Revlon has released a new line of lip products, called Lip Butters. They have been available in the US since November 2011 and I was able to obtain the colours below via eBay in November as well. They were garnering rave reviews from lots of You Tube gurus and beauty bloggers so I just had to get on the bandwagon and try them out! I was also very interested to see how long it would take for a “drugstore” product released in the US to be released in Australia…..6 months!! You may have now seen the advertisements in magazines (pictured below) and on television featuring the actress Emma Stone. There are 20 shades available in a wide variety of colours. My current Lip Butter accumulation is 10 - for now!
As you can see, the packaging looks similar to the Revlon Colorburst lipsticks, but the actual lipstick itself is flush in shape to the applicator. The packaging is also clear on the top so you can actually see what colour the lipstick is going to be, which is always good when you don’t have access to a tester. The casing colour also represents the colour of the lipstick too.
The three nude shades I chose are Creme Brulee, Pink Truffle and Brown Sugar (left to right).
The three light pink shades I chose are Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart and Peach Parfait (left to right).
The two bright pink shades I chose are Raspberry Pie and Lollipop (left to right).
And finally the two darkest shades I chose are Candy Apple and Red Velvet.
I am SO impressed with the pigmentation and the colour payoff is the same as an actual lipstick, but so much more moisturising and creamy. They glide onto your lips and are so easy to apply and there is no need to wear any gloss over the top!
If you haven’t already noticed the names of the butters are all sweets related! Yummy!!
Overall, I definitely think you need to try one of these!! They are absolutely amazing and so easy to use. Because they are a lip butter and I don't get more than 2-3 hours of wear before needing to reapply, but I don't mind touching up because they apply like a balm (no mess!). If you like wearing moisturising colour on your lips, these are for you.
I bought these on eBay and only paid around $11.00 for each of them (plus postage – I bought mine in bulk so postage was a lot less than buying just 1), so if you don’t mind waiting a little longer (not to mention saving a few bucks!) for the product then get on eBay stat! Otherwise, head on down to your local chemist or department store and pick up 1, 2 or all 20!!
