I'm Addicted To Revlon Lip Butters: Lip Butter Review

Photobucket

When I first heard about these a few months ago, I thought they would be just another phase in the beauty world. After seeing swatches and reviews of this product, I had to try it out for myself. Just like with every other review, these are just my personal opinions and thoughts. 

The four colors I have are:

Tutti Fruti (15) which is an orange.
Cupcake (55) which is a muted bubblegum pink.
Berry Smoothie (50) is a berry red.
Pink Truffle (001) is a brown with a hint of pink/red. Pink Truffle is my favorite because it is like my lips but better.

Pros

  • Great pigmentation. I thought they would apply sheer, but they are actually pretty pigmented. (Depending on the intensity you want is how much you apply)
  • Affordable (compared to other lip products). Most drugstore lipsticks/lip glosses run between $7-$13. I've seen these lip butters anywhere between $5-$8. If you use coupons, you could get it for even cheaper. 
  • Creamy consistency (hence the name) which leaves your lips feeling moisturized. They are not like some lipsticks that leave your lips feeling dry, it almost feels like you have on a chap stick. 
  • Easily Accessible (at least in the US). You can find this at just about every drugstore, supermarket, or any place that sells drugstore make up. Or you could even find it on ebay or amazon. 
  • Comes In Many Different Shades. There are bold colors like reds and pinks and subtle nudes and sheer tones. 
  • Goes Well With Darker Skin Tones. I noticed all four shades I have, go pretty well with my skin tone and blend well. the "cupcake" shade may not blend as well with darker tones but worn sheer, it can work.

Cons
  • I wish the packaging was a little nicer (but of course this is just my personal opinion). But I'm sure that plays into why it is pretty affordable. 
  • I notice it tends to wear off a little quickly, so you will need to carry it with you and reapply if you intend on wearing it all day. 

Final Thoughts: YOU definitely need one of these. lol. They are reasonably priced, pigmented, and they leave your lips feeling like butter. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially those who are not really into lipstick (like myself). I definitely plan on getting more in other shades. 


Below are swatches. I wanted to show you guys what it looks like on my lips and on a blank white paper, so you can see the true color it is.

Favorite Drugstore Red Lipsticks

I love bright lipsticks for the summer...well actually all year round. I practically purchase everything from drugstores....or target. Especially since I am like an hour away from a MAC or Sephora. Here are three of my favorite red lipsticks right now.

Fashion Fair Lip Teasers - Scarlet Kiss

This one is actually a lip gloss but I still decided to include it. It is pretty sheer but build-able. For those of you who are a little hesitant to wear to wear a bold red, this would be a good starter. This really looks good on all skin tones.

NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors in Eros (536)

This one is a super bright red with an orange undertone. You will definitely need a lip liner. The consistency of this lipstick is really creamy, I hate dry lipsticks lol. This is the one I've had the longest, that is why it looks like that in the picture lol. I think NYX has changed this name (Eros) to a lighter shade. The one I have is super bright and the one on their website is more of a coral/pink color. Sooooo...you might not be able to find this shade anymore. The picture looks orange but it is definitely more red than orange.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Lip Color - Beyonce

This is my favorite red. In my opinion, it is like the PERFECT RED. Let me preface this with saying I have never worn this out in public ( i dont have the cojones to wear it lol). It is so bright but it is a sexy, sultry bright red...i guess that's why its named "beyonce." It is truly long lasting, no matter how hard you try to rub it off. Just a tip for those who dont know, you have to make sure it is dry before you add another layer or apply the lip balm. I would recommend this to anyone but the one thing i hate about it is the smell of the lip balm (it smells kinda menthol-ish, i cant quite put my finger on the smell but me no likey).
