About two years ago Revlon came out with their line of lip
butter, and they took the world (or at least beauty bloggers) by storm. I was a
bit dubious at first about them, a sort of lipstick/balm/gloss? For almost $8
each? Some colors barely show up? No thank you! Since then I have become a bit
of a convert.
I own three Revlon Lip butters: Red velvet ( a deep
wine/berry/red), Cherry Tart, (a sheer bright red with a bit of golden shimmer/micro
glitter), and Raspberry Pie (a berry/pink/fuchsia). Both Red Velvet and
Raspberry pie are in a more lipstick-like territory when it comes to opacity.
Cherry tart is sheerer like a tinted balm but can be worked up to a more
pigmented state. These last a good 3 hours on me and are very easy to touch up;
just tap it a bit on your lips and they look good as new without having to
completely remove and then reapply. They are also not at all drying on my lips.
They don’t moisturize like a lip balm, but they don’t take moisture away
either.

All these swatches are done in natural light and not
blotted. While I blot normally before going out, I wanted you to see each one’s
color potential. These are also just one pass on the lips.
This is what I look like with Raspberry pie blotted as per
my usual.
Lip Butters normally retail for about $7.50. I didn’t pay
full price for any of my lip butters. I got Red Velvet and raspberry Pie during
a BOGO half off deal at Ulta, plus I used a $3.50 off $10 coupon from their
flyer. I got them for about $8. Cherry tart was part of my CVS clearance and I paid
under $3 for that one, but knowing them now, I probably would have paid full
price.
I hope this was helpful! What are your favorite Lip butter
colors? Do you want Macaroon to come over to the US? (I do, it looks perfect!)
