♥ Revlon Colourburst Lip Butters ♥


The other day whilst having a chilled stroll around the local mall from a distance i spotted a promo image which sent me a little crazy!! I shouted 'omg revlon lip butters' my boyfriend looked at me like i was mad but bless him was as excited for me as he could tell they were obviously something i had been after for a while and finally got to have a look at :) I obviously couldn't pass by without buying any so i came away with a modest three shades (i am planning to return for more hahaha)

There has been sooooo much hype around these little gems with them releasing in possible every other country than the UK, all us girls have been reading blogposts in awe of everyone that has managed to get some...oh how i love the Philippines for getting releases early! I was so excited when i spotted these that i didn't really pay any attention to the colours..well i did but i mean the names there are a few i have stored in my head on my 'must buy' list but in the excitement i totally forgot and picked up three really different shades just so i could try, test out the pigmentation and see if i liked the formula.

I love everything about them and will definitely be getting those colours i forgot about in my head (damn this list on my head was suppose to be helpful) next time I'm in the mall.

I must say though not all the colours were available so I'm guessing everyone here in the Philippines is going mad for them as well.

So if you haven't actually heard of the Revlon Lip Butters then listen up...they are obviously a lip butter but everything about them says lipstick. The packaging is that of a lipstick and the colour pay off is as well but the best thing of all is how moisturising they really are. You would expect a moisturising lip product to not really have any pigmentation but they really do so much so they look like a lipstick but with a gloss over the top. They do not dry your lips out and stay put for around 2-3 hours..not the longest time ever but lets face it your lips always need moisturising and these are a great way to do it and with adding some colour!

As the consistency is so buttery they are so easy to apply perfect for on the go and the lip butter is literally all you need..no lip liner or lip gloss nothing just this little gem!

There is 20 shades available ranging from light pinks to dark reds so there is something for everyone.

The colours i chose were..

Creamsicle a light peach nude
Sweet Tart a vivid fuscia pink
Cupcake a light blue toned lilac pink

I love all the colours i got as Creamsicle is subtle enough to wear during the day, Cupcake is a very 'me' colour and Sweet Tart is just amazing...i have to admit i think sweet tart is my favourite i have been rocking it everyday since i got it.

Some of the shades also have a hint of shimmer/glitter in them which i personally really like. The shades i want to buy next are

Candy Apple
Raspberry Pie
Strawberry Shortcake
Tutti Frutti

I am a sucker for packaging and i really love the packaging of these its right up my street..the girly chic Chanel-esque style really works in my opinion!

I really also like the scent of these, to me they smell of vanilla however they do have mango, shea and coconut butter in them so I'm not too sure where I'm getting vanilla from but maybe the shea is quite strong?? Who knows but i like it anyway and its not too overpowering..some people have said they don't even have a scent :-/

I paid around £7 each for these so really i dont think they are any cheaper than what they will be in the UK

The one and only downside to these are that as they are soooo creamy and butter like they can tend to squash down a bit so i have learnt not to be too heavy handed when applying.

Be excited girls as these are going to hit shelves in the UK on March 14th!!!! Get to you nearest Revlon counter quick though as they are bound to sell out super fast.

Have you been lucky enough to try these yet?
Are you excited for the release in the UK?

  5. I am not sure what the hype is all about. Apparently they show dry lines on the lips and are generally worse than L'oreal lip butters. Probably not worth the price in my opinion ;)

  12. I was fortunate enough to win 1 of these babies in a giveway way back in December.I got 1 of the shades you currently have your eyes on -Raspberry Pie. I loved it at first swatch but I actually haven't worn it to college yet.It looks beautiful on my lips though- if I do say so myself :D It's the perfect color between pink and red.I think it will suit you too. :) Let me know what you think of it when you buy it. I have yet to review the lipstick but I can say that it's 1 of the best lipsticks I've ever tried :)
