Revlon Lip Butters



The  Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters  were the first lipsticks I've tried that I have absolutely loved. Every time I'm at Rite Aid or Target I feel this urge to just buy every single one of them. They are sheer enough for every day but can build up to a nice pigmentation, they feel like a hydrating balm on the lips, and the colors are nothing short of perfect. Theyre comparable to the L'oreal Colour Riche Colour Caresse line but tend to be a bit more shimmery and seem to have a bit more pigmentation.

I have "Red Velvet", a deep brownish red, "Peach Parfait", a shimmering nude, "Berry Smoothie" a sheer neutral pink, and "Juicy Papaya" a lighter sherberty orange.

  • Red Velvet: This was my go to lip color all through the colder months last year. It was my first foray into bold lips and I am completely obsessed. It looks great on medium skin tones and is really pigmented but still light on the lips unlike most other deep lipsticks I've tried. 
  • Peach Parfait: I bought this during I time that I was invited to a lot of Black Tie kind of events where I wanted a sort of elegant nude lip. I usually stay away from any kinds of glitter but I love this. Nude lip colors tend to scare me but this isn't a traditional flesh toned nude. It has more of a pink tone and the shimmer is subtle and just gorgeous. 
  • Berry Smoothie: This is a great neutral color for year round. I find pinks to be not so flattering on me. I have kind of a yellowish medium skin tone and naturally darker lips and anything that is lighter than my lip color washes me out and brings out the yellow. The berry shade in this is universally flattering and gives a lovely subdued your-lips-but-better look. 
  • Juicy Papaya: I don't know if its just me but I find this color to just look kind of sexy on the lips. It's perfect for summer and spring and love it for nights out. It gives the effect of a gloss without the stickiness and the added layer and kind of glows. I think it would look particularly gorgeous on medium to dark skin tones. 
Basically, I love every one of these and I'll definitely be adding more to my collection! Let me know what you think and what your favorite colors are!!

Also, this is my first post and I would love some feedback on what you'd like to see on this blog. I love beauty blogs and thought I would give it a try. I'm a little out of my comfort zone and trying to find my footing so any and all suggestions would help!
