It's been a while since the Revlon Lip Butter hype hit everybody's news feed and i must admit it was a somewhat slow-burner of an obsession for me (you can read my review/first thoughts here). I tried them, thought they were alright and left it at that, in fact - the first one i bought found it's way into my make-up storage and I went back to Mac for a good few weeks. Skip forward a month or so and now, my collection has expanded and they're the only lipstick you will find in my daily make-up bag. I will go as far as to say i can't live without them. When i'm not sure what colour to wear, I will opt for 'Cupcake' - the lighter pink - it's noticeable without being overpowering and looks really pretty for those 'natural days'. The darker colours (inparticular 'Lollipop' and 'Candy Apple') are suprisingly pigmented for the formulation and last ages - wearing away from a glossy colour to a light stain on the lips over time. Even the packaging is fabulous - really bright and colourful for summer; i may even have to take my whole collection on holiday with me as they're all i'm wearing right now! They really do feel the same as a lip balm and are really moisturising (they contain 'hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter') Infact, i haven't suffered with dry lips at all since i've been using these (move over, Vaseline!) and they don't 'bleed' or smudge either - they stay put suprisingly well. If you're after a glossy lipstick thats not drying in the slightest then
i really recommend these - or if you're not a fan of super-statement
lips yet want to try a more daring shade. For the price, they're amazing quality and theres no doubt i will be picking up a couple more shades to add to my collection..
What are your thoughts on the Lip Butters? Any more shades you recommend me trying?!
(A couple of you lovely lot mentioned 'Lollipop' on Twitter and i caved in and bought it! *slap wrist*)
They're also on offer at the momento for £5.99 at Superdrug
I still haven't tried these! I really think I would like them as they're so moisturising but I can't bring myself to spend £7.99 on them :( I love the look of all the shades you have, especially Tutti Frutti!

Theyre so amazing! I didn't think the world of them at first but now im addicted.. they're on offer for £5.99 at Superdrug at the momento - perfect excuse to give them a whirl :) xx
DeleteI love the lip butters! Your post makes me want to go out and buy more...which is totally bad. But Tutti Frutti is calling my name :D xoxo
ReplyDeleteI know! I always end up buying more when i see blogposts about them! haha. Tutti Frutti is such a beaut shade for Summer :) xx
DeleteI love these too but have you tried the L'oreal Caresse Lipsticks? They're very similar to the Revlon Lip Butters and I think I may actually prefer them! xo

I havent tried them yet! But i've heard so much about them - inparticular 'Cheeky Magenta' and theyre next on my list to try. Whats your favourite shade of the Caresse? I may have to sample them next time im in Boots! xx
DeleteI definitely recommend you try them and they're buy 1 get 1 half price in Boots atm too :) I have 'Dating Coral' and 'Tempting Lilac' and they're both so gorgeous, I love them! xo
DeleteI did the same exact thing. I jumped on the bandwagon when they first came out and bought one. I used it like twice and then about a couple of weeks ago I bought the color "Peach Parfait" and can't stop wearing it!
ReplyDeleteThink thats next on my list! I love peach & coral colours right now xx :)
DeleteI must try lollipop :)

Yess i think its my current favourite.. i love blue-toned pinks :) xx
DeleteYou actually have quite a lovely, varied collection there.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, when I first swatched the colours in store, I found that the shades I really liked were completely different from the ones I thought I would like from looking online. I had such high hopes for Tutti Frutti, but I just didn't like how it looked on me. Raspberry Pie was an instant favourite though. It's such a lovely, rich, berry red. Basically, a more plummy (rather than pinky) version of Lollipop. I'd definitely suggest adding that one to your collection. If you can spare the pennies!
Me too - i went in and came out the store with swatches all the way down my arm! haha Yess i like Tutti Frutti but at the moment it looks a bit strange on me - im hoping when i get a bit of a tan on holiday it will look a bit better :)
DeleteOO must have a look at Raspberry Pie! Im off to look at some tomorrow before workies :P xx
You are making me want to go and buy things... STOP IT ! ;) x
ReplyDeletehaha oh noooooooo :P i bet next time i see you - you will have one of these :P xx
DeleteI love these sooo much! I have strawberry shortcake! Come and have a look at my new updated blog!

DeleteI'm still as in love with these as ever! I quite like strawberry shortcake too, but tutti frutti is my fave! xxx

I really need Strawberry Shortcake in my life! i really like Cupcake and the shade is fairly similar - so i reckon that one is next on my list along with Peach Parfait :) xx
DeleteAhh, this post totally makes me want to go out and get more of these :) Sweet Tart looks absolutely gorgeous! My favorites of the ones I have are Strawberry Shortcake and Peach Parfait!
ReplyDeleteEverytime i see a shade i havent got on somebodys blog i go out and buy it - arghhh i might as well just buy them all! haha xx
DeleteI love Tutti Frutti but I really want to try out sweet tart! :) xx

Yess its a beautiful shade of pink - just goes with everything and looks fandabbydoozy with a tan :) xx
DeleteI really really want to try these, I'm trying so hard to use up a lot of old make up so I have banned myself from buying anything that I don't NEED and it is killing me haha, there are so many lovely shades and they sound like the perfect product for me! xx
ReplyDeleteoh goodness i need to do the whole 'dont need it dont buy it' thing but my willpower is RUBBISH! Yess if you havent got one id recommend them :) The darker shades are more pigmented but i personally love the lighter ones for everyday wear xx
