There's been ALL this hype about the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters, so I had to pick up a couple. I got Peach Parfait and Strawberry Shortcake, because I'm predictable and love peach and pink.
I got both from Target for $6.98.

Basically, the formula is wonderful, smooth and buttery and feels lovely on. It's not a balm, it's more like a moisturising lipstick than anything. If you do have very chapped lips it will show the flaky bits a little. I put a little bit of lip balm on beforehand and it worked really well with the lip butters.
Peach Parfait
Peach Parfait is a GORGEOUS shimmery peach, it's almost a nude for me. I'm absolutely loving it, I think it suits my skintone well, almost a My Lips But Better (MLBB) shade. The shimmer in it seems to give the texture a slightly grainy feel, but it's nothing major.
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is a pastel pink, which just does not look great with my skintone :( I absolutely love the colour, but you'd think I'd have learned by now that these kind of baby pinks don't suit me ;_; The texture is quite smooth, it's a bit chalky looking on me as I have quite pigmented lips. I had to work with it a bit to get even coverage.
Both lip butters had pretty great wear, lasting around 4-6 hours without reapplying.
Super, ridiculously simple FOTD… Because I really don’t wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis. I don’t think Peach Parfait needs it, it’s such a great MLBB shade that I want to keep the rest of my makeup light and natural.

Did you pick up any of the Revlon Lip Butters? Or are you planning to?
I'm definitely going to get a few more shades, I'm thinking Raspberry and Cherry Tart!
How wonderful are these buttahs? I want them allllll!!
ReplyDeleteLove these lip butters. I have both of these and just picked up a new one. The are a fav of mine. I love love peach parfait on you. I agree it looks wonderful with your skin tone!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried any of them.... and wasn't planning on it, but I don't think i can resist anymore!
ReplyDeletePS - darn girl, your skin is FLAWLESS! so pretty!
Thank you girls!
ReplyDeleteHaha Jenn, it is all BB cream and great lighting! Yes, you definitely must get at least one.. If you can stop at one :)
Thank you for the Lip Butter! and Yes, Peach Parfait looks really good on you!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's all BB cream and great lighting! I think you should definitely try one.. if you can stop at one ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I just picked up Lollipop as well, I'm addicted to these!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! I have to stop myself haha
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome ;) I knew Strawberry Shortcake would look better on you than me, your skintone is much lighter than mine.
ReplyDeleteoh my gawd, already lost in BB creams! I do have yet to find the perfect one, but I haven't tried too many yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just picked up Lollipop as well.
ReplyDeleteI picked up Red Velvet and PInk Truffle. I only paid around $4.00/each at Walgreens,and I do like them.However, I only got them because they were on sale, otherwise I might not have purchased them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great price!
ReplyDeletewow @ your eyes!!! are they real or contacts? i have normal hazel eyes which to me is boringgg. anyway, i don't like how strawberry shortcake looks on me either. i'm nw20 and the pink just manages to wash me out, making me look sick and paler than i am. i don't think these are worth the hype. i got crazy and bought 10 and now they're just taking up space on my vanity.;( i wish i had returned them.
ReplyDeleteThey're contacts, I wish I had grey eyes! It's nice to switch it up every now and then :) I agree, they were definitely hyped up a lot. I have 5 and I really only use one. I use my Maybelline Baby Lips more often.
